Automated VAT Filing Checks Begin May 2025: Submit After 24th to Avoid Rejection

• The tax authority sometimes receives VAT returns too early and cannot process them automatically.
• From May 27, 2025, an automated check will occur upon receipt of VAT returns for the filing period.
• VAT returns are accepted from the 24th of the month in which the period ends.
• Early submissions require manual processing, which is time-consuming.
• Returns submitted before the 24th will be rejected, and a notification will be sent to the submitter.
• No confirmation of receipt is given for early submissions; a new return must be submitted from the 24th.
• Ensure VAT returns are submitted neither too early nor too late.
• Returns submitted from the 24th will be processed normally, and a confirmation will be received.
• The tax authority aims to reduce processing issues and will inform about similar actions in the future.
