- The preferential sale of coal for households under the Coal Act ended on July 31, but local government units still have unsold coal.
- The Ministry of State Assets suggests using the coal for sale to interested residents or for own tasks, such as healthcare, social assistance, family support, or public education.
- The tax implications of these options vary. If the coal is sold to residents, it may or may not be subject to VAT.
- If the coal is used for own tasks, there are different possibilities, and the VAT implications depend on whether the activities are taxable or not.
- If a local government unit used the full right to deduct while purchasing the coal and will now use it for VAT-free activities, it would be necessary to adjust the input VAT.
- The adjustment should reduce the level of deducted VAT to zero or to the level of the VAT proportion of a given unit, depending on the chosen method of further use.
- The adjustment is made in the settlement period in which the destination of the goods changed.
- The moment of change of destiny should be documented for tax purposes.
