Tax breakdown · 2026 Q3
Money paid to and returned by the tax office during the quarter, not tax charged. VAT on purchases is already deducted inside the payment — it does not appear here separately. A refund arises only when deductions exceed the VAT charged on sales: for exporters, intra-EU suppliers, and under the domestic reverse charge (construction, timber, scrap metal), not for every company with large purchases. Compare with the turnover of the same quarter, not of the year.

Goods exports to turnover estimate
44%
Industry goods exports against the turnover of its companies on this site: two sources, so only the order of magnitude holds. A share this high is why companies in the industry pay little net VAT: exported goods carry no VAT.
Exported most: Prepared foodstuffs, beverages, tobacco — 561.4 M €, Live animals and animal products — 432.6 M €, Vegetable products — 153.3 M €
