Can Negative VAT Be Used to Repay VAT Debt? Penalties for Late Payment Explained

  • A taxpayer declared VAT payable for December 2025 but lacks funds to pay on time; expects a negative VAT value in January 2026.
  • The taxpayer asks if the negative VAT in January can be used to offset the December debt and avoid penalties.
  • The tax authority confirms this is possible, but a penalty will still apply for late payment.
  • The law requires VAT obligations to be paid within 10 days after the filing deadline; late payment results in tax debt and penalties.
