COVID-19 update:
- No postponement possible of submitting advance VAT returns in due time
- An extension of the deadline can be applied for in such cases in accordance with § 134 para. 2 BAO, without the threat of consequences under fiscal criminal law.
- It is possible to apply for interest-free deferral of duties or their payment in instalments, provided that the Corona crisis has been shown to have a concrete impact. Deferral interest (3.88 % pa) and default surcharges (2 %) can then be reduced to 0.00 %.
- The deadline for submitting the annual VAT return for 2019 has been extended to 31 August 2020.
Similar measures have also been introduced in numerous other EU member states.
