- Companies employing people with disabilities can qualify for VAT exemption only if several conditions are met.
- It is not enough that workers with disabilities make up at least 51% of staff and their wages account for at least 51% of the payroll.
- Two additional requirements apply: at least 10 employees with disabilities must be employed, and the goods/services must be produced or provided with their direct participation.
- These conditions must be met not only in the quarter of sale, but also during the four previous tax periods.
- Since the VAT tax period is a calendar quarter, the requirements must be satisfied throughout each month of those quarters; if the number drops below 10 in any period, the exemption is lost.
