When and How VAT Registration is Canceled: Key Reasons and Procedures Explained

  • Registration as a VAT payer is valid until it is canceled by removal from the tax register.
  • Cancellation occurs if the person submits a cancellation application and taxable operations are below the threshold for the last 12 months, and all tax obligations are paid.
  • Cancellation also occurs if the person decides to cease operations and approves a liquidation balance or similar document.
  • Other reasons include switching to a simplified tax system without VAT, not submitting VAT declarations for 12 months, invalid founding documents, court decision on liquidation, or the death or incapacity of an individual entrepreneur.
  • Cancellation can be initiated by the taxpayer or the controlling authority.
  • Automatic cancellation happens if there is a record of cessation of activity or a switch to a simplified system without VAT.
  • The cancellation date is determined by the earliest relevant event.
  • The controlling authority must provide a written refusal if there are no grounds for cancellation within 10 days of receiving the application.
  • If cancellation is initiated by the authority, the taxpayer must be notified in writing within three working days.
