- In the first years after starting a business, significant purchases of goods or services are likely to be made
- These purchases may result in a substantial VAT credit, which can be refunded under certain conditions
- Purchases made before the start of business operations and aimed at generating taxable transactions generally allow for VAT deduction
- The purchase of goods and services necessary for the future revenue generation is considered inherent to the business operation
- The right to deduct VAT arises from the moment of acquisition of goods and services, even if they are not yet used in the business
- The key factor is that the goods and services are intended for use in operations eligible for VAT deduction.
