▬ More information ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

The preliminary VAT return and advance payments can be made during different periods. Either the preliminary return must be submitted monthly or quarterly. The deadline for this is generally 10 days after the advance return period. In addition, there is a grace period of 3 days for payments.

If the "frequency" for the advance VAT return is annual, it is sufficient to submit a VAT return by 31.07. of the following year.
