A headline does not establish how current a statement is. Look at the source, legal status and documented date of the assessment.
For a claim about current obligations, check the relevant statutory or regulatory text. Our explanations help you find your way, but do not replace applying the rules to your business. Your specific system and the circumstances of your activities remain decisive.
