Immediate exit from the flat-rate scheme: the cost of goods is net of recoverable VAT

• The forfait regime ceases to apply in the same year that the taxpayer’s revenues or fees exceed 100,000 euros.
• The immediate exit from the forfait regime requires coordination between the income tax and VAT regulations.
• The cost of goods should be calculated net of deductible VAT, taking into account any adjustments due to exceeding the threshold.
• The transition from the forfait regime to the ordinary regime allows for the adjustment of VAT on depreciable assets and goods and services not yet sold or used.
• The cost of goods for the determination of income should be calculated net of initially undeducted VAT, but later adjustable due to exiting the forfait regime.
• The non-adjustment of VAT does not affect the determination of income, as it is considered a discretionary decision by the taxpayer.
