VAT on Free

An item is given away for free, but the company must declare and pay VAT over it, based on the normal sales price. The customer does not pay that VAT, he gets the item fully for free (perhaps pay deposit). The VAT amount is in a way ‘expensed’ for the company.

Typically for employees getting goods for free, or ‘consumer’ free orders (free products to consumers).
