IOSS PENALTIES
Companies that fail to file their VAT-related activities to the EU tax bodies through IOSS three times will be put in a quarantine period. This means that they will not be allowed to commercialize with any EU final consumers for the calendar year, e.g. October to December 2021, following two additional years.
A quarantine period only applies when:
the taxable person persistently fails to comply with the rules relating to a special scheme – there is a quarantine period of 2 years following the (quarterly/monthly) return period during which the taxable person was excluded. He will be excluded from all schemes he is currently using and will remain excluded from using any of the three schemes for 2 years. He can only (re)register for a scheme once the quarantine periods of all schemes have elapsed.
Penalties will be applied if companies:
- deliberately or carelessly furnish incorrect returns;
- make an incorrect claim or declaration;
- fail to file a return due.
