Failure to comply with VAT obligations can have severe consequences for businesses, including VAT assessments, which are time-consuming and may result in significant financial losses. Interest and penalties can accumulate quickly if the tax authorities determine that VAT is payable. Non-compliance may also lead to supply chain interruptions, affecting business operations and relationships with customers and suppliers.
