VAT Adjustment for Accepted Claims When Buyer Retains Part of Defective Goods

  • A complaint was made about defective goods, and the seller acknowledged it.
  • Instead of issuing a corrective invoice, the seller issued a credit note.
  • Payment was refunded for part of the goods, which the buyer will dispose of.
  • Part of the goods was exchanged for non-defective items.
  • The deducted VAT should be corrected for the period when the correction conditions were agreed and met.
  • A corrective invoice is not necessary for the VAT correction.
  • Disposal of retained goods by the buyer is not considered a service to the seller.
  • The exchange of goods should not be accounted for in VAT.
  • Three issues to consider: timing of VAT correction, whether disposal is a service to the seller, and if the exchange is subject to VAT.
  • Article 86 section 19a of the VAT Act regulates the rules for correcting deducted VAT.
  • The buyer does not need a corrective invoice to make a correction.
  • The buyer should not wait for a corrective invoice if the agreed correction conditions are met.
  • The credit note should be recorded in the correction records.
