VAT (Value Added Tax) is an indirect tax levied on goods and services at each stage of production or distribution. It is collected by businesses on behalf of the government and allows for input tax credits on business purchases, making it a consumption-based tax ultimately borne by the end consumer.
Businesses whose annual turnover exceeds the prescribed threshold limit are required to register for VAT. The threshold varies by jurisdiction. Even businesses below the threshold can opt for voluntary registration to claim input tax credits and enhance business credibility.
Input Tax Credit (ITC) allows registered businesses to claim credit for the VAT paid on business-related purchases against the VAT collected on sales. This mechanism ensures that VAT is only paid on the value added at each stage, avoiding tax cascading and reducing overall tax burden on businesses.
VAT return filing frequency depends on the jurisdiction and business size. Typically, returns are filed monthly, quarterly, or annually. Timely filing is essential to avoid penalties and interest charges. Our team ensures all returns are prepared and filed accurately within the prescribed deadlines.
VAT non-compliance can result in significant penalties including late filing fees, interest on unpaid taxes, penalties for incorrect returns, and in severe cases, prosecution. Penalties vary by jurisdiction but can be substantial. Maintaining proper compliance through professional assistance helps avoid these costly consequences.
