- In Serbia, if both an advance Fiscal Receipt and an advance E-Invoice were issued for the same advance payment due to an operational error, the situation must be corrected.
- In the described case, only the advance Fiscal Receipt was actually appropriate, but an advance E-Invoice was also issued during a software transition and accepted by the buyer.
- VAT was effectively paid only once, via the E-Invoice; the Fiscal Receipt had not been recorded for VAT purposes.
- The correction requires recording the Fiscal Receipt VAT in VAT records and reporting it in the relevant forms (POPDV, VAT return, and summary records).
- The advance E-Invoice should be cancelled/reversed in SEF, with any VAT reduction allowed only after customer confirmation that input VAT was not used or has been corrected.
