Practice question
Does passing VAT through several business stages necessarily transfer the original seller's statutory filing duty to the final household buyer?
- Yes; every final buyer files all suppliers' returns.
- No; legal obligations at each stage remain governed by the Code.
- Yes; the last household buyer automatically becomes every firm's withholding agent.
- No; because every earlier sale becomes exempt retroactively.
- Yes; the price alone transfers all legal obligations.
