VAT registration & returns

The counsel

VAT looks simple until the transactions are examined. Exports, designated-zone supplies, reverse-charge imports, mixed-use expenses and services delivered abroad each carry their own treatment, and errors accumulate quietly across quarters until a penalty brings them to light. We assess whether registration is mandatory, voluntary or better deferred, complete the registration or tax-group formation, and set up invoicing and accounting records so the treatment is correct from the point of entry rather than corrected later. Returns are prepared and filed on the statutory cycle, refund claims pursued where input tax exceeds output, and voluntary disclosures handled properly where a historic error comes to light. Where the Federal Tax Authority opens an audit, we deal with them directly.
