Closing VAT Account: Properly Securing Funds and Transferring Balances

  • When a taxpayer closes their business settlement account, their VAT account is also closed.
  • If there are funds in the VAT account, the taxpayer must ensure their proper protection.
  • Before closing the VAT account, the taxpayer can transfer the funds to another VAT account or request the transfer to the settlement account.
  • The transfer of funds to another VAT account is done using a transfer message.
  • The taxpayer can also request the transfer of funds to the settlement account from the head of the tax office.
  • The head of the tax office may refuse the transfer if the taxpayer has tax arrears or there is a reasonable fear that the tax obligation will not be fulfilled.
