About this statute
This Order sets the amount of a reward based on value added tax and the requirements for granting that reward. This article defines key terms used in the Order, including “invoice,” “reward,” “final consumer,” and the VAT reward system. Final consumers are entitled to a 10% reward based on the VAT shown on the invoice, and a consumer who was denied an invoice after paying and requesting it may receive an extra reward linked to penalties paid. A person qualifies for a reward only if they register in the VAT reward system and provide specified personal details, or if they received an invoice showing their mobile number. The Tax Administration must withhold 10% of VAT paid by the final consumer on each invoice for reward purposes and deposit it into the account it designates. A person who reports paying but being denied an invoice is granted a 50% reward from the penalty amount paid by the taxpayer on that invoice.
