Notes
Manufacturing sector — standard VAT for B2B sales. MRP planning calculates material requirements based on sales orders and available stock. Quality control may include ISO 9001 certifications requiring documentation of all non-conformities. Intra-EU sales (to EU companies) are VAT-zero rated with intrastat declaration when thresholds are exceeded.
