Tax Authority’s Power to Challenge Invoices: Understanding the Statute of Limitations

  • Ongoing Tax Authority Scrutiny: The Supreme Administrative Court has clarified that the tax office can challenge invoices even after several years, as the five-year statute of limitations on tax liabilities can be extended under certain conditions. This means that taxpayers may face unexpected audits and disputes regarding older invoices.
  • Limitations on Invoice Corrections: Taxpayers must be aware that errors in invoices can only be corrected within the statute of limitations period. Once this period expires, the ability to amend invoices or related tax settlements is lost, leaving taxpayers vulnerable to potential penalties and disputes without recourse.
  • Legal and Operational Implications: Invoices serve not only as accounting documents but also carry significant legal implications over time. Entrepreneurs are urged to continuously verify and address any discrepancies in their invoicing practices to avoid long-term financial consequences, especially as disputes can arise years later, potentially jeopardizing a company’s financial health.
