- From 2026, medium-sized businesses involved in intra-community triangular transactions must declare the tax base of incoming transactions in their VAT return.
- This is an additional requirement to the existing obligation to report outgoing transactions.
- The new declaration must be made in line 55, code 789, of the annual VAT return; it is not required in the advance VAT return.
- Businesses should consider setting up a separate tax key in their ERP systems to track these transactions.
- The changes may lead to increased scrutiny and data matching by tax authorities, both domestic and foreign.
