Confirmation from DGT: No need to increase VAT taxable base after partial debt collection

  • The DGT confirms that the base taxable amount of VAT should not be increased if a partial payment of debts is received by a debtor who is an entrepreneur or professional.
  • The consultation in question involves a business owner who had previously adjusted the VAT taxable amount for unpaid credits according to the Law on VAT.
  • The DGT states that the VAT taxable amount should only be increased if the recipient of the operation is not acting as an entrepreneur or professional.
  • Exceptions to this rule include if the taxpayer withdraws a judicial claim against the debtor or reaches a payment agreement after a notarial requirement.
  • A judicially approved settlement agreement is considered equivalent to a court judgment and does not require an increase in the VAT taxable amount.
  • In conclusion, the VAT taxable amount should not be increased after a partial debt payment if both the consultant and the debtor are considered entrepreneurs or professionals.
