Control measures for VAT numbers requested for closure: penalties and horizontal offset ban

  • The law on false or inactive VAT numbers has been strengthened.
  • The effects of the VAT number control measures now apply to cases where the tax agency issues a cessation order to a taxpayer who has requested closure in the previous 12 months.
  • If a VAT number is closed under certain circumstances, and the taxpayer does not provide necessary information to the tax office, there will be a ban on offsetting taxes with other taxes or contributions.
  • The ban on offsetting taxes applies regardless of the type or amount of credits, and remains in effect until the VAT number is officially closed.
  • If credits are offset in violation of the ban, the F24 form will be rejected and the taxpayer will be notified through the tax agency’s electronic services.
