Re: New invoicing rules
It is ridiculous and yes I know someone that was fined 120 euros for having her food shopping in the car and no receipt.
As far as I'm aware this rule at present only applies to those businesses with an 'open door' that people can walk into off the street such as supermarkets, hairdressers, bars and restaurants etc. They could get people off the black market simply by raising theVAT threshold, it's only 10,000e which is ridiculous. Most people are unable to do their own VAT returns as it is beyond them so it involves the employment of an accountant which costs around 140-200 euros a month which when added to the high social security payments you are down near on 400euros before you have earned anything. If they raised the VAT threshold people could submit their own tax returns and not worry about the cost of an accountant, they would be happy to give facturas as the reason people dont want to is they know by adding the VAT it makes the job too expensive so the customer will go elsewhere where they will take cash. I really can't understand how PT can have such a low threshold when countries like the UK it's almost 8 times higher when taking into account the exchange rate! G |
