VAT Group After Member Bankruptcy: Practical Implications and Tax Declaration Responsibilities

• Bankruptcy of a VAT group member leads to the dissolution of the VAT group.
• The former representative of the VAT group can still make corrections for accounting periods when the group was a taxpayer, even after the group loses taxpayer status.
• The obligation to submit the VAT declaration for the period up to the day before the group’s dissolution lies with the group’s representative.
• After dissolution, each former member regains individual VAT taxpayer status and submits their own VAT declarations for periods following the dissolution.
• There are legal uncertainties due to discrepancies between tax and bankruptcy laws regarding VAT groups.
