The Regulations on VAT Advance Payment

The VAT advance payment is a payment due from taxpayers subject to VAT within a deadline established by law, generally by December 27 of each year. This advance payment is calculated based on the tax due for the previous year or according to other methodologies allowed by law, such as the historical or predictive method.

In the event of omitted VAT advance payment, the law provides for a series of administrative penalties. These penalties may vary depending on the severity of the omission and the specific circumstances of the case. Here are some of the main consequences:

• Administrative Penalty: The base penalty for omitted payment is equal to 30% of the unpaid amount.
• Late Payment Interest: Unpaid amounts are subject to late payment interest, calculated on a daily basis.
