Tax payers must produce VAT invoices within 15 days of provision of the goods or services. Invoices may be paper-based or electronic. The latter must be provided via the state’s online invoice clearing portal with an electronic signature. Tax receipts may be issued in lieu of full VAT invoices for cash payments on B2C transactions.
Any foreign currency amounts must also be shown in the local currency with reference to the foreign currency exchange rate applied.
The date on which the VAT becomes due is known as the tax point, or time of supply. For goods, the tax point is when the goods are delivered.
For services, it is the time of provision and completion of the services. For continuous supplies, the tax point is the end of each calendar for the duration of the contract. VAT on imports is due at the point of clearing the goods into the country.
