Application for the withdrawal of a member from a group registered for value added tax

Main information

If you are a member of a VAT-registered group, the group may apply for your withdrawal from this group.

The earliest a group may apply to withdraw a member from the group who has joined the group as a non-payer is 1 year after the date on which it became a member of the group.
The tax administrator will cancel the membership of a group member on the last day of the relevant calendar year if the application was submitted by the end of October of the relevant calendar year.
A member of the group will become a taxpayer from the day following the date on which its membership in the group ceases.
In the event of the termination of a representative member's membership in the group, the members of the group are required to elect a new representative member within 15 days of the date of termination of the representative member's membership in the group. If they fail to do so, the tax administrator will appoint a substitute member by decision. 

This applies to you if

You are a member of a VAT-registered group that wants to apply for your withdrawal from the group.

The group will request the withdrawal of a member
