“We have had cases of companies from which all the input VAT of a year has been withdrawn”
For the past two years, the Tax Agency has only communicated with commercial and limited liability companies (SLs) through the digital mailbox, which is technically known as the Enabled Electronic Address (DEH).
With this communication system, the administration has gained agility – it has stopped making paper deliveries – but at the same time it has also made life very difficult for limited companies, since in addition to carrying out the business, they now also have to focus part of their efforts on checking the emails that arrive through the digital mailbox.
“The taxpayer has the obligation to periodically consult the DEH to see if the Tax Agency has communicated any notification or data requirement”, explains Xavier Ribas, advisor to Gestingral.
Precisely the problems arise when the employer does not periodically monitor this digital mailbox. The administration gives companies a period of 10 days to open the mail. And after these ten days, the Tax Agency considers the notification to have been read and the procedure begins to be deployed, even if the employer has not opened the digital mailbox.
Account seizures also
“We have known a lot of displeasure about this issue. For example, we know of cases of companies from which all the input VAT of a year has been withdrawn for the simple fact of not having responded to a notification about the tax”, says Ribas, who adds: “In other cases we have seen companies whose accounts have been seized, also for not checking the Enabled Electronic Address”.
Given the difficulties that many companies have in being able to control all these notifications, Gestingral offers the possibility of controlling the notices that arrive through the DEH and sending them to employers, thus preventing subsequent problems.
In recent years, tax reforms and changes have been lavished, and consequently, notifications affecting both long-standing limited companies and recently incorporated companies are also increasing. “In the end, the entrepreneur has to focus on his business and make money. And the administrative burden is better left to the professionals and be sure that you are in good hands”, concludes Xavier Ribas.
Corporation tax from 1 January
Among these tax changes that have been approved recently, Gestingral reminds you that from 1 January 2016 SCPs will have to pay corporate tax – like SLs – and therefore will have to have complete accounts of their accounts. This modification – which will be dealt with in a future longer article – will add administrative burden to small businesses and greatly complicate their management system. For this reason, from Gestingral we recommend that all SCPs consult their situation with professionals as soon as possible to avoid possible sanctions in the future.

Among the tax changes that have recently been approved, Gestingral recalls that as of January 1, 2016, SCPs must be taxed by corporation tax – like SL – and, therefore, must have a complete accounting of their accounts.
