Sales tax VAT – what it is and how it works and how it affects your work pricing?
-VAT is a consumption tax and it will be added to the works price, service price or product price by seller (VAT 0-25,5%).
-VAT depends on the branch were the seller is working: 0%, 14% or 25,5%.
-VAT is determined by seller’s branch. VAT is always paid by buyer, who buys work, product or service even if the buyer is private person or a company.
Seller is acting as a collector for the tax authorities and settles the tax fully to tax office.
-VAT is named as a consumption tax, because consumpter pays the full VAT amount and cannot reduce it in own tax description.
– Company, regtereed to VAT registration can reduce the VAT in its own tax settlement and gets that way the paid tax back.
Example 1 – you are invoicing private persons using the invoicing service.
You make an invoice in the invoicing service of your work with a total amount €1000 + 25,5%VAT agreed with your client. Private person receives an invoice total 1255€ including 255€ VAT.
When your client pays the invoice, the invoicing service will settle VAT 255€ to the tax office and the sum without tax is the base for your salary.
For a private person the cost of your work is 1255€, because he cannot reduce the tax in his tax declaration.
Example 2 – you are invoicing company using the invoicing service.
You make an invoice in the invoicing service of your work with a total amount €1000 + 25,5%VAT agreed with your client. the company receives an invoice total 1255€ including 255€ VAT.
When your client pays the invoice, the invoicing service will settle VAT 255€ to the tax office and the sum without tax is the base for your salary.
When your client pays the invoice, the invoicing service will settle VAT 255€ to the tax office and the sum without tax is the base for your salary.
The company makes its own tax declaration and declares 255€ as a paid tax (VAT) and tax office will return the paid tax back to the company.
For a company the cost of your work 1000€ because tax office returns the paid tax to the company.
How VAT affects to your salary?
