New business operator – remember your reporting and payment obligations

VAT return and payment

Companies in the VAT register

The tax period is usually one month. The due date for filing and payment is the 12th of each month.

You must start filing returns as soon as you have registered for VAT.

A return must be filed for each tax period even if your company has not had VAT-liable activities.

Guidance for VAT filing and payment

Reporting employer's contributions

Companies that have paid wages or other earned income

Report wages and salaries paid on an earnings payment report to the Incomes Register. The report must be filed within 5 days of the payment date.

Submit monthly employer's separate reports on health insurance contributions by the 5th of the calendar month following the payment month.

If your company is in the register of employers, you must file an employer's separate report even for months when you have not paid any wages.
