Liechtenstein Makes eVAT Portal Mandatory for VAT Transactions
Starting January 2025, businesses in Liechtenstein are required to process all VAT transactions exclusively through the newly launched eVAT portal. The transition was officially announced in October 2024, marking the end of paper submissions and previous digital methods for VAT-related processes.
Main Features of the eVAT Portal
The eVAT portal is designed to handle VAT registration, deregistration, billing (including corrections), applications, and account management. The tax administration accepted paper VAT returns until December 30, 2024, but now all VAT-related submissions must be done through the portal.
Steps to Get Started
Businesses need to complete three steps to access the new portal:
- Obtain eID.li for secure online identification.
- Activate eRepresentation, allowing companies to manage VAT and eDelivery authorizations.
- Register for the eVAT portal to submit all VAT transactions.
Companies not listed in the commercial register must apply separately for eRepresentation activation. Additionally, taxpayers solely registered for acquisition tax liability must reapply for tax registration via the eVAT portal.
