The EOPT Act in PracticeWhat the Ease of Paying Taxes law changed for small businesses
The Ease of Paying Taxes Act rewired the mechanics of compliance rather than the rates. Five changes matter most to small businesses, and all five are now in force.
One invoice to rule them
The invoice now evidences sales of goods and services alike, ending the official receipt's role as the VAT document for services. The companion note covers the transition.
Size now has legal meaning
Micro and small taxpayers gained concrete relief: a 10% surcharge instead of 25% and half the interest rate, among simplifications. The penalty calculator carries both schedules.
Services VAT follows the bill
VAT on services is now recognized when billed rather than when collected, aligning services with goods and simplifying the quarterly close for service businesses.
