You must consult your accountant or tax practitioner for accounting advice.

a) You must submit a VAT claim for your on-hand stock. Please keep your registration date in mind. Otherwise, you will forfeit the 15% VAT.

b) You must claim VAT on capital goods such as equipment, delivery vehicles, and so on; again, please consult your accountant.
