Notification of turnover amounts under the cross-border VAT scheme for small enterprises (SMEs)

Main information

If you are registered in the scheme for small enterprises (SMEs) (for more detailed information, see Registration in the scheme for small enterprises (SMEs)), you must submit a Notification of turnover amounts for a calendar quarter under the cross-border VAT scheme for small enterprises (SMEs) (hereinafter ‘Notification of turnover amounts’).

In the Notification of turnover amounts, you must state supplies made during the calendar quarter that are included in turnover in:

  1. Czechia; and
  2. another Member State, separately for:
    • each other Member State; and
    • each turnover threshold, if the Member State in which you use the scheme for small enterprises applies different turnover thresholds.
The Notification of turnover amounts for a calendar quarter must include turnover data for all Member States, including Czechia (i.e. also for Member States in which the taxable person is not registered in the cross-border scheme for small enterprises).
You must submit a Notification of turnover amounts even if you made no supplies during the relevant calendar quarter.
If you are submitting the first Notification of turnover amounts after registration in the scheme for small enterprises (SMEs) for another Member State, you must also include data relating to supplies made during the calendar quarter preceding the calendar quarter for which the first Notification of turnover amounts is submitted, from the date of submitting the application for registration onwards (except for data already provided during the registration procedure).
For the question of whether to include supplies made in the turnover of the relevant Member State, the place of supply is decisive. 
Information on the scheme for small enterprises and on Member States that require turnover to be stated by sector is available on the website of the relevant Member State or on the European Union website.

This applies to you if

You are registered in the scheme for small enterprises (SMEs).
