Ministry of Finance Expands VAT Liability for Buyers Under Split Payment Mechanism Starting July 2026

  • The Ministry of Finance announced amendments to VAT, effective July 1, 2026, to address system gaps and modernize regulations.
  • Current buyer protection under the split payment mechanism (SPM) will be limited, expanding buyer liability for supplier tax irregularities.
  • Buyers will be jointly liable for seller’s tax arrears if they knew or should have suspected invoice fraud, but only for transactions listed in Annex 15 (mandatory SPM goods/services) and new Annex 16 (certain intangible services).
  • The changes aim to encourage buyers to be more diligent in choosing and documenting service providers.
