nominal VAT


Explanation:
I'm not too sure if I like the sound of this in English, though...

Still, "nominal" is the first and so far best option that came to mind.

disagree  Roddy Stegemann: Nominal values are either face values or values unadjusted for inflation. This does not appear to be the case here.

disagree  Roddy Stegemann: A surtax is a temporary or provisional tax. VAT or value added tax is a very different kind of tax, which is anything but temporary or provisional.

agree  Roddy Stegemann: Could someone please explain what the term notional means in this context? This is the second time I have heard it, and I am still baffeled.

  -> Yes. It means "estimated tax". Some governments require advance payment of "estimated tax".

deductible input tax


Explanation:
British term.

Cf links 1 and 2.

AFAIK "TVA fictive non utilisee" is "residual input tax"

TVA = VAT (in the UK) and "input tax" is always used in the VAT-related context

In my reply to Hamo I\'ve omitted one word \"always\" (\"...whether it can always be said...\"). For this context, I\'m sure that \"TVA fictive\" is \"input tax\"

--------------------------------------------------

It may theoretically turn out that output tax is 0 (just because the operations are exempt from VAT) and then the state is either liable to reimburse the input tax or such residual input tax is set off against output tax during the subsequent taxation period.

agree  Roddy Stegemann: This is a very interesting explanation. Is a "tax fictive" like a shadow price - a tax which is never paid, but is nevertheless used in calculations?
3 hrs
  -> I don't know for sure whether it can be said about "taxe fictive" but input tax is being paid when you e g buy local goods, which will then be exported and exempt from VAT. Then input tax amount is deducted from the output tax amount.

  -> completely wrong STeven, Sorry, check your management Robert, Valeur Nominal is Nominal Value, not the same as Face Value.
