VAT issues in respect to municipalities
TYEMNYÁKOVÁ, Jana
The primary objective of this thesis is to assess the impacts of VAT on municipal economy, to determine when it is advisable for a municipality to become a VAT payer and how the VAT payership affects the municipality{\crq}s income, and what the associated rights and obligations are. Based on an analysis, we review Municipality ``X{\crqq} that registered for VAT voluntarily on July 1, 2004 and Municipality ``Y{\crqq} that only became a VAT payer beginning January 1, 2009. According to the information revealed, the VAT registration associated financial benefits for Municipality X were closely connected with its financial investments made with the assistance of received subsidies and capital investments into property. Compared to Municipality X, the implications are that Municipality Y would have not benefited from becoming a voluntary VAT payer. The anticipated financial effect would have been neutral. At present, we can state that the greatest financial benefits for municipalities under the VAT scheme arise from investments into the renovation, repairing work or construction of water-supply and public sewer systems provided that the municipality operates or lets it on lease to another VAT payer.
