The countdown to the implementation of the Unified Management System of the Tax Department (Tax For All) has begun, which is expected to be operational on Monday, March 27.
This is the first phase of the system, which will initially affect persons registered with the Tax Department for VAT purposes. According to information from "F", 80,000 legal entities submit through the system electronically the VAT returns, which until recently were submitted through Taxisnet.
Through Tax For All, the special VAT schemes for urban taxis and for farmers will also be submitted. The appropriate tests have already been carried out on the system, so that when it is implemented there are no technical issues.
The practical changes in vat operations will concern the electronic submission of all declarations and supporting registrations, as well as the possibility of updating some personal information. For example, the taxpayer will be able to apply for the issuance of certificates, such as the Tax Clearance-VAT only, a certificate of registration in the VAT Register, as well as a certificate of deletion from the VAT Register. It is worth noting that the certificates will contain a "QR code", with which the authenticity of the document can be recognized. In addition, tax payments will be made electrically with Tax For All and at the same time a payment history will be kept. Tax refund requests will also be submitted electronically and a history and account details will be kept.
Taxpayers will have the opportunity to communicate directly with the Tax Department, through the submission of requests and questions and at the same time they will be able to submit complaints.
In 2024, it is estimated that the second and third phases of the system will be operational. Among other things, the second phase will concern corporate tax, income tax and income tax withheld on earnings and the third phase will concern betting and casino tax, special tax on credit institutions and stamp duties.
