3. Should intra-Community transport of goods carried out on the occasion of intra-Community acquisitions be declared in Form 349?

Yes, Form 349 declares both deliveries and acquisitions of goods, as well as intra-community acquisitions and provision of services.

4. Large companies that are required to submit monthly declarations in VAT . When should the summary declaration of intra-community operations be submitted?

Form 349 must be submitted monthly within the same timeframes as the self-assessment of the tax, unless due to the volume of intra-community operations it has a quarterly frequency.

6. Is a taxable person registered in REDEME obliged to submit the VAT annual summary declaration , form 390?

Therefore, they are exempt from submitting the VAT annual summary declaration , form 390, unless they are not required to submit the self-assessment corresponding to the last settlement period of the fiscal year.

Although they are exempt from filing Form 390, they must complete the specific section reserved for them, required for these purposes in the self-assessment form for the Tax corresponding to the last settlement period of the year, in relation to the information on the type of economic activities to which their declaration refers, where applicable, on the applicable prorated percentage, differentiated sectors and percentages of taxation to various Administrations, as well as the detail of the total volume of operations carried out in the year.
