Online Tax Filing
SII, TICKETBAI, and SILICIE
Current Reality
On July 1, 2017, the mandatory phase of Immediate Information Sharing (SII) for filing VAT returns through the Tax Agency's Electronic Headquarters came into effect, and on January 1, 2018, it did so for Provincial Councils. There is also SILICIE (Immediate Supply of Special Tax Accounting Books).
On January 1, 2022, the TicketBai initiative for the online submission of invoices to provincial councils will come into effect.
Similar initiatives also exist in the rest of Europe, such as Portugal's SAPF-PT and France, where it will be mandatory from January 2023.
The submission of forms and the preparation of VAT records are gradually being phased out.
All of the Company's invoices are affected, including invoices issued, received, and receipts.
Tax information must be submitted in accordance with the requirements, using the "WEB Service"of the corresponding Electronic Office via certified transactions with an electronic signature. The tracking, acceptance, and/or rejection of records and forms submitted is carried out in the same way.
