If you inform us of an error and we find that it is a question of gross negligence, we will increase your business’ VAT declaration.
After three years from the time the VAT return was due, it can only be changed under certain conditions.
Conditions for changing VAT and taxes after the expiry of the three-year deadline
VAT and taxes can only be changed after the three-year deadline if:
- the declaration has been made according to our practice which has subsequently been overruled
- the change is a direct consequence of another change of the business’ VAT/tax. If, for example, the business has a VAT deduction registered in a wrong period and we increase the VAT as a result, the business can claim the deduction in the right period even if the deadline has expired
- it is a question of certain conditions (see below)
Certain circumstances allowing for changes after the deadline
It must be external circumstances that cannot be blamed on the business or business consultant which have caused an incorrect declaration. Matters such as the business or the business consultant forgetting a deduction, misunderstanding rules or making wrong entries do not grant permission to deviate from the three-year deadline.
Permission to reopen a VAT return
If you want to apply for permission to have your VAT return reopened and corrected after the three-year deadline, please contact us by e-mail.
In your email, you will have to tell us which duty to be corrected and the correct amount.
