VAT is a consumption tax that the seller adds to the price of the work, service or product (tax rate 0-25,5%). The tax rate is determined
0%, 14%, or 25,5% depending on the seller’s branch. VAT is always paid by the buyer, individual or company. In a way, the seller acts as a VAT collector for the tax authority.

VAT is called consumption tax because it is finally paid by a private consumer who cannot deduct VAT in their own taxation.
A company registered for VAT may, in turn, deduct the amount of VAT it has paid from the company’s own VAT account,
and thus receives VAT as a refund from the tax collector.

VAT is not part of the salary. Value added tax (VAT) invoiced to the customer always belongs in full to the tax collector and
when invoicing through the invoicing service, the invoicing service is obliged to settle the contents of your invoice and paid by your customer
to the VAT taxable person.

So always consider the share of VAT when you price your work and remember to agree with your customer in advance, whether
this private customer or company, if the price of your work includes VAT or if it comes in addition to the price of your work and at what rate
(VAT 0%, 14% or 25,5%) is concerned.

EXAMPLE: You bill a private customer through a billing service
Through the invoicing service, you make an invoice to a private customer for work performed for which you have agreed on a price of 1000 euros + VAT 25,5%. A private customer receives an invoice through the invoicing service, the total amount of which is EUR 1,255, including 25,5% VAT, the share of VAT is EUR 255. Once the customer has paid the invoice, the invoicing service pays the VAT part of your invoice 255 euros directly to the tax collector and the remainder the remaining tax-free amount, EUR 1,000, forms the basis for the payroll.
For a private customer, your work / service cost 1255 euros, as this cannot deduct the VAT share of the invoice in your own taxation. If the work you do is eligible for the household deduction, your private customer can invoice the household deduction the share of work in your personal taxation.

EXAMPLE 2: You bill a company through a invoicing service
Through the invoicing service, you invoice the company for the work performed, for which you have agreed on a total price of 1000 euros + VAT 25,5%. Your corporate customer will receive an invoice through the invoicing service, the total amount of which is EUR 1,255, including VAT 25,5%, the share of VAT is EUR 255. Once the company has paid the invoice, the invoicing service pays the VAT part of the invoice 255 euros directly to the tax collector and the remainder the remaining tax-free amount, EUR 1,000, forms the basis for the payroll.
The company makes its own tax return and declares in its VAT return that it has paid EUR 255 in VAT and the tax collector
refund the VAT share in full to the company. The company paid 1000 euros for your work / service, as this will receive an invoice as a refund of the VAT portion from the tax collector
