Is VAT crediting possible if an excess payment is made to the VAT deposit account due to a technical error?
One of the issues frequently encountered in practice is the incorrect allocation of VAT payments for electronic invoices due to technical errors. In such cases, taxpayers often ask: If VAT is overpaid on one electronic invoice and underpaid on another, can those amounts still be credited within the same reporting period?
According to Article 175 of the Tax Code, VAT may be credited only if the payment for the goods, works, or services is transferred to the supplier's bank account and the corresponding VAT amount is paid into the VAT deposit account. Furthermore, Article 175.1.1 provides that the VAT credit arises when both the value of the goods, works, or services and the corresponding VAT amount indicated in the electronic invoice have been paid in full.
Therefore, if during the same reporting period both the principal amount and the corresponding VAT for the electronic invoices have been fully paid in accordance with the requirements of the law, the VAT may be credited in that reporting period. The mere fact that, due to a technical error, the VAT amounts were allocated differently between invoices does not automatically constitute a tax violation, provided that all tax obligations have been fully fulfilled.
However, to ensure the correct determination of tax liabilities for a specific transaction, it is recommended that the taxpayer apply to the tax authority where they are registered, submitting supporting documents and evidence of the payments made. Doing so can help prevent future discrepancies and potential tax disputes.
