Change in Practice for Refunding Incorrectly Charged Sales VAT – Reopening of Cases – Consultation Ongoing

  • Skattestyrelsen has revised its practice for correcting incorrectly invoiced sales VAT
  • According to Skattestyrelsen, repayment can only be made with issuance of credit note or new invoice
  • Skattestyrelsen will no longer require the taxpayer to pass on the repayment to their customers
  • Skattestyrelsen will deny repayment if the supplier has claimed statute of limitations against the recipient
  • Practice for repayment to employees who incorrectly acted as taxable persons remains unchanged
  • Skattestyrelsen now directly applies section 52 a, paragraph 7 of the VAT Act in cases of incorrect invoicing and repayment requests
  • The change in interpretation will not affect Skattestyrelsen’s handling of reopening requests.
