During the 1st quarter of 2023, we informed you of the adoption of a bill to modernise VAT and the collection of tax and non-tax receivables. As a reminder, the changes brought about by the adoption of this bill are, among others
- New deadline for filing quarterly VAT returns;
- Abolition of the current account to simplify VAT refunds;
- New procedure for refunding VAT credit;
- Proposal for a substitute VAT return;
- Shortening of the deadline for replying to the tax authorities.
This reform will finally come into force on 01 January 2025 instead of the initially announced 01 January 2024. For more information, please contact our experts.
