Incorrect processing of incoming VAT invoices is a debit to many municipalities’ credit processing

  • Invoices and settlements in the municipal practice often result in incorrect processing of VAT.
  • Examples include invoices from taxi companies for WMO transport services, invoices from waste processing companies for recycling sales, and settlements from watersports associations for collected mooring fees.
  • These invoices and settlements require a split between cost and revenue, but if not recognized in the automated financial administration, errors can occur.
  • This can result in negative costs and incorrect VAT reporting.
  • Significant amounts may be incorrectly deducted from compensable or offsettable VAT.
  • It is recommended to address this issue internally and establish clear protocols or agreements with suppliers for separate invoices for cost and revenue.
  • Prevention is better than cure.
