- In July 2022, the DPT announced that VAT returns and sales/purchase books would continue to be submitted via e-filing, with the books completed manually.
- Since then, the process has changed: today, part of the data is automatically populated by the fiscalization system, not just manually.
- Timely filing remains the taxpayer's responsibility, regardless of how much the process has been automated.
In July 2022, General Directorate of Taxes It was announced that the submission of the VAT return and the sales and purchase books would continue to be carried out through the electronic filing account on e-filing, with the fields manually completed and the data verified against fiscalized invoices.

Why does it matter today?
Regardless of how much automation there is today, the accurate and timely filing of VAT remains the taxpayer's responsibility. Always verify the books before submission, even when the data comes pre-filled by the system.
