Ordinance on Value Added Tax

(Art. 31 VAT Act)

¹The in­put tax de­duc­tion must be cor­rec­ted in full on goods and ser­vices not put to use.

²The in­put tax de­duc­tion must be cor­rec­ted on goods and ser­vices put to use that are still avail­able at the time the re­quire­ments are no longer ful­filled and have a fair value. In the case of sup­ply of ser­vices in the fields of con­sult­ing, ac­count­ing, staff re­cruit­ment, man­age­ment and ad­vert­ising, it is as­sumed they are ex­hausted at the time of their ac­quis­i­tion and are no longer avail­able.

³In the case of self-man­u­fac­tured goods, for put­ting the in­fra­struc­ture to use, a flat rate sur­charge of 33 per cent must be made on the in­put taxes on ma­ter­i­als and on any third party work on semi-fin­ished goods. Al­tern­at­ively, ef­fect­ive proof of the in­put taxes ap­plic­able to the use of the in­fra­struc­ture may be provided.

⁴If sub­sequently the re­quire­ments for the in­put tax de­duc­tion are only par­tially ful­filled, the cor­rec­tion must be made to the ex­tent that the use no longer en­titles the in­put tax de­duc­tion to be made.
