- VAT deduction is allowed when VAT becomes due, typically at the time the transaction occurs.
- To deduct VAT, the invoice must be received and recorded in the purchase register.
- For invoices dated December but received in January, VAT deduction cannot be retroactively applied to December; it must be deducted in the first VAT return of the new year.
- The deduction can be exercised up to the deadline for the annual VAT return for the year the invoice is received.
- Special registration is required for invoices received in the following year but related to the previous year.
