The most important change in the Decree is the duty of VAT taxpayers which perform export as its prevailing business activity to submit PID VAT form, along with the VAT tax return for the period in a current year in which the financial statements (for the previous FY) have been submitted. Therefore, needed corrections of the PID VAT form were made. Prior to the adoption of before said amendments to the Decree, VAT taxpayers – prevailing exporters, were obliged to submit respected PID VAT form in February of the current year as the same was detemined as period for the submission of annual financial statements. Taking into consideration that the deadline for the submission of the annual financial statements has been moved to the end of June of the current year, changes made to the Decree were necessary as a harmonizing process of legislation. Criteria for qualifying for the prevailing exporter status remain the same. In case you have any questions or doubts, please do not hesitate to contact us.
