Voluntary registration as a VAT payer:

Anyone who carries out or intends to carry out economic activities may register as a VAT payer on their own, even if they do not meet the above criteria. Before registration, it is advisable to assess whether it is beneficial to register as a VAT payer, if this is not necessary.

Registration as a VAT payer is beneficial if the main buyers of the supplied goods or services are VAT payers. This rule is applied quite often, but it is important to consider the specific circumstances that will help to make the final decision.
