- The article examines whether VAT must be charged when money is mistakenly transferred to a company’s bank account and quickly returned.
- It describes three common cases: an advance sent where no prepayment was agreed, payment by a third party with no contract, and an overpayment due to a transfer error.
- Under Ukrainian civil law, such funds are considered unjust enrichment and must be returned.
- Under tax law, VAT obligations normally arise on the “first event” (payment or service act), but this does not automatically apply to mistakenly transferred money if there was no intention to supply goods/services.
- The article focuses on DPS guidance and practical advice on whether VAT invoices or adjustment calculations are needed in these situations.
