Avoiding VAT Through Withdrawal Before Sale?

  • Sale of an item is taxable regardless of prior input tax deduction rights
  • Withdrawal or free transfer of an item for non-business purposes is taxable only if the item allowed for full or partial input tax deduction
  • There is unequal tax treatment between withdrawal and delivery of items
  • This disparity occurs with items moved from private to business assets or acquired from non-business areas
  • It also applies to items delivered tax-free or under margin scheme regulations
