- Tax authorities are increasingly scrutinizing online sellers, using data from internet platforms to identify unregistered businesses and challenge VAT exemptions.
- Even a single sale of an item not qualifying for VAT exemption (such as an electric pet brush) can result in demands for back taxes and interest for up to three years.
- Experts warn this creates a legislative trap for taxpayers, as sellers may unknowingly lose their VAT exemption and face large tax bills.
- The situation raises concerns about violating constitutional principles of trust and proportionality, as well as proper classification procedures for taxable goods.
