- Self-billing requires prior agreement, prompt objection to incorrect invoices, and compliance with legal requirements; liability remains with the supplier.
- Municipalities frequently use self-billing, must declare VAT correctly, and should record customers in accounts receivable to prevent errors.
- Joint invoices (e.g., for fleet vehicles) must include all required details; VAT treatment depends on the vehicle’s prior use, and municipalities are responsible for correct VAT reporting.
- Organizations must determine their VAT status (business or government) before agreements, as this affects pricing and VAT obligations.
- The VAT decree is regularly updated; staying current is essential to avoid compliance risks and accounting errors.
