- In insolvency, input VAT deduction from unpaid supplies must be adjusted due to uncollectibility, regardless of the recipient’s tax method.
- If the supplier later receives payment (even partially) from the insolvency administrator, the input VAT deduction must be adjusted again in favor of the insolvency estate.
- The second VAT adjustment (refund) depends on a prior reduction of input VAT to the extent that the underlying claims were unpaid before the insolvency application was filed.
