Exports and certain other activities qualify for input VAT credit or refunds under specific rules. |
| exempt without deduction | For example, qualifying supplies to beneficiaries of the Ecuador–United States Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA). These are recorded as exempt, not as zero-rated. Input VAT relating to exempt supplies is not deductible as a VAT credit. |
| out of scope | Contributions in kind to companies; inheritances and distributions on liquidation; qualifying transfers of businesses; company mergers, divisions and transformations; qualifying donations to public bodies and non-profit organisations; transfers of shares and securities. |
| withholding on imported services | For taxable imports of services, the Ecuadorian customer accounts for VAT and withholds 100% of the VAT due. Imported digital services have separate collection rules. This is a withholding mechanism, not a reduced VAT rate. |

VAT rounding: the EU, the UK and other European countries
The EU VAT Directive and the Court of Justice of the European Union leave VAT rounding rules to be decided at national level. National rules vary. In the UK, HMRC allows VAT on B2B invoices to be rounded down to the nearest whole penny.
Roundings in VAT calculation: Mathematically impossible prices?
There are a whole range of VAT-inclusive prices that cannot be mathematically arrived at if the tax is calculated from the VAT-free price. One example is 3.99. These prices are also possible, but then the VAT-free price must be interpreted as rounded.
VAT Gap - How much VAT is left uncollected in EU countries?
9.5% of VAT was left uncollected in EU countries. See the list of EU countries and candidate countries.
In Europe there is VAT - in the US sales tax
In Europe, companies belonging to the production chain account for the VAT paid by the consumer to the state in proportion to their value added. The US sales tax, on the other hand, is billed entirely by the company that made the consumer sale. Sales tax is paid to local operators, not to the state.
Many of today's taxes were already in use in Antiquity. Deciding on taxation has moved from autocrats to parliaments and the level of taxation has risen. In earlier times taxes were used to wage wars, today taxes are used to maintain welfare states.
