We often think of a VAT audit as a formal check.
However, an audit is wider than we think.
The tax administration audits a VAT taxpayer every time it checks the information provided by the taxpayer, from the beginning of its activities until the end.
In practice, these checks may occur whenever you file a VAT registration request, a definitive VAT return, a VAT refund request, a VAT deregistration request and so on.
For you, this means that contact with the VAT authorities will be part of your daily business activities. These checks may take the form of a simple email exchange, a phone call, a letter, or even an on-site visit…
But if you keep a couple of basic rules in mind, there is nothing to worry about.
And this is why we developed this impact-oriented e-learning for you, so that you grow your knowledge and can use it throughout your company life cycle, whenever VAT audit occurs.
