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.
