VAT
Clarifications have been made regarding the resolution of situations which may appear as a result of the modification of the VAT quota from 19% to 24%, as follows:
in case the basic operation which produced the events provided under art. 138 of the Fiscal code cannot be determined (discounts granted after shipment/services provided, modification of sell prices, total or partial cancellation of a contract) so that when issuing the reversal invoice the VAT quota for the basic operation is used, then the VAT quota in force at the date when the event took place shall be applied.
it is stressed that in the case of advance payments for intra-communitarian acquisition of goods no regularizations shall be carried out if the VAT quotas are modified, and the applicable quota shall be the one in force at the date when the tax is due for eligibility.
For internal shipment, the advance invoices must be regularized by applying the VAT quota in force at the time of shipment. The same provisions are also applicable for operations for which the beneficiary is obliged to pay the tax, including the external services received and for which advances were recorded prior to the modification of the VAT quota.
In case the commissioner structure applies, the generator factor for re-invoiced operations comes into force on the issue date of the invoice by the person who re-invoices expenses made by other persons;
Other examples are given with regards to the application of the new VAT quota for a series of services for which the eligibility of the tax derogates from the general rules.
