As of Jan 1, 2021, businesses will be able to account for import VAT on their VAT Return for goods imported from anywhere in the world. Import VAT will be declared and recovered on the same VAT Return (postponed accounting), rather than businesses having to pay the VAT upfront and recover it later.
- Box 1: Include the VAT due in this period on imports accounted for through postponed VAT accounting.
- Box 4: Include the VAT reclaimed in this period on imports accounted for through postponed VAT accounting.
- Box 7: Include the total value of all imports of goods included on your online monthly statement, excluding any VAT.
