- To deduct VAT, it must have been effectively supported.
- This means that the VAT must have been previously charged by the taxpayer who carried out the operation.
- If the taxpayer is not the recipient of the operation, a complete adjustment must be made that addresses both the accrual and the deduction.
- If there has been no act of charging corresponding to the VAT accrued by the taxpayer who carries out the operation, the VAT has not been supported by the recipient.
- Consequently, unsupported VAT cannot be deducted.
- However, it may be deductible when the VAT is charged.
