Our solutions

VAT control of bank accounts

The tax office is entitled to demand from a company payment of VAT which was not paid by its supplier to the state budget if the company has paid the invoiced amount to a supplier’s bank account that is not listed in the register of bank accounts on the Financial Administration’s portal.
