The regulatory deadline for each category are further listed below.
- Value Added Tax (VAT) - Vat Returns and Vat Recaps
- Income Tax - Provisional Tax and Income Tax
- Social Security Contributions (SSC)
The regulatory deadline for each category are further listed below.
VAT Returns
45 Days or 1 month 15 Days from end of quarter. For understanding purposes, if the VAT return covers the quarter from January to March, the submission date is that of the 15th of May.
VAT Recapitulative Statements
VAT Recaps are to be submitted either monthly or otherwise quarterly depending on the value of the intra-community trade. Should the quarterly value of the trade be below €50,000, the sole-trader is not levied to submit a recap statement monthly, and he may therefore submit it quarterly. Given this, the statement is to reach the department by the 15 day of the month following the end of the quarter. For example, should the quarter covered by the statement be that of January to March, the recap is to be submitted by 15th of April.
On the other hand, should the value exceed €50,000, the statement is to be submitted by the 15th day of the following month from end of calendar month covered by the recap. For understanding purposes, should the recap cover the month of January, this is to be submitted by 15th February.
On the other hand, should the value exceed €50,000, the statement is to be submitted by the 15th day of the following month from end of calendar month covered by the recap. For understanding purposes, should the recap cover the month of January, this is to be submitted by 15th February.
