I would like to inform you about the following changes regarding the deadline of the registration:
The registration portal will open from 28th August after which point you have a few months to register ahead of VAT launch in January 2018. Penalties will only apply to taxpayers who register after Jan 1st 2018.
This means, that the registration deadline is not the 28th August as already informed but the registration portal opens then.
