BASQUE COUNTRY AND NAVARRE: What is self-consumption?
Translation generated by AI. Access the original version
If a company or a self-employed person transfers goods free of charge, they are generally required to pay VAT, as there is self-consumption.
When is there self-consumption?
There is self-consumption of goods when a company or an entrepreneur transfers goods from their activity to third parties for free, or when an entrepreneur transfers goods from their business assets to individuals.
How does it affect VAT?
In most cases, even if the company or the entrepreneur does not charge anything for the delivery made, they are required to pay the applicable VAT to the Tax Office. To do this, they must issue an invoice in the name of the recipient and pass on the corresponding VAT.
And what is the taxable base on which it must be passed on?
It is as follows:
- If the goods have not been transformed, the acquisition cost.
- If they have been transformed, the acquisition cost plus the transformation costs, including personnel expenses.
Keep in mind that if the value of the goods has been altered due to use, deterioration, or obsolescence, the taxable base must be adjusted taking these circumstances into account.
