VAT Implications of Interest-Bearing Loan from Company to Shareholder: Taxation Requirements Explained

  • Granting an interest-bearing loan is considered a paid service and is subject to VAT.
  • A company that is an active VAT taxpayer but does not operate in financial services provided a one-time interest-bearing loan to a shareholder.
  • The company does not have to tax this service with VAT unless it has chosen to tax such services.
  • According to the Civil Code, a loan agreement involves transferring ownership of a specified amount of money or goods, with the borrower obliged to return the same amount or goods of the same kind and quality.
