Handling corrections for zero-rated tax invoices during inventory storage, failed exports, or quarter-end closing
Machine translated
I am a practitioner in the export trade industry. There are cases where exported goods cannot be shipped in the same month they are purchased and must be kept in inventory for a certain period. In such cases, we issue a zero-rated tax invoice at the time of purchase and provide a purchase confirmation to the supplier.
1. I am wondering if it is legally permissible to issue a standard tax invoice at the time of purchase and then correct it to a zero-rated tax invoice at the time of export (in a subsequent month rather than the current month).
2. Since there may be cases where export becomes impossible due to local circumstances in the destination country, I am looking for a lawful way to handle this. If export becomes impossible and returning the goods to the domestic supplier is also not an option, resulting in the goods being scrapped, I would like to know if the existing zero-rated tax invoice must be converted back to a standard tax invoice.
3. In cases where the quarter-end has passed and it is impossible to correct the tax invoice, I would appreciate your advice on how to handle the situation.

- 01. It is possible. However, to be recognized as a valid revised zero-rated tax invoice, the purchase confirmation must be issued retroactively by the VAT filing deadline (January 25th or July 25th) of the taxable period in which the month of export falls. 2. If export becomes impossible, you must cancel the purchase confirmation and reissue the already issued zero-rated tax invoice as a standard tax invoice. 3. Even if the quarter has closed, it is still possible to issue a revised tax invoice; however, since the tax rate will change from zero-rated to the standard rate, the amount of tax payable will change, which may result in additional penalty taxes. Please consult further with your tax accountant regarding this matter.Machine translated
