- The VAT on collection system allows SMEs to pay VAT only when invoices are actually paid by clients, improving cash flow and reducing credit risk.
- The system is optional and was introduced by Government Ordinance No. 15/2012, with further updates making it optional from 1 January 2014.
- Invoices under this regime must include the mention “VAT on collection” as per the Fiscal Code.
- The collection date for VAT purposes depends on the payment method (offsetting, bank transfer, payment instruments, or card payments), with specific rules for each.
- The system reduces fiscal pressure and financial strain on SMEs by aligning VAT payments with actual cash receipts.
