- Proposal to introduce a provision in the VAT law regarding negative tax due and input tax
- Negative tax due is not a legal phenomenon, but occurs in all taxes requiring accumulation of taxable base and tax amounts for accounting periods
- Negative tax due can result from events such as discounts, returns, cancellations of invoices, etc.
- Incorrect practice of adding negative tax due to input tax in VAT has led to illegal increase in tax refunds
- Negative tax due should only reduce future positive tax due, not increase tax refunds
- Incorrect practices in VAT compliance can lead to penalties and fraud charges
