Updates on VAT in Russia, June 2015
Today we are discussing recent changes in VAT (Value Added Tax) regulations in Russia:
TAKING DEDUCTIONS ON ONE INVOICE OVER SEVERAL DIFFERENT PERIODS. WHICH
DEDUCTIONS CAN BE TRANSFERRED AND WHICH CANT.
Deducting VAT based on one invoice in different tax periods over three years after the
recording of the goods (works, services), other than from capital assets, equipment to be
installed, and (or) intangible assets, does not contradict the Codex norms.
Legislation act: Letter of the Ministry of Finance from April 9th 2015 03-07-11/20293
HAVING INDIVIDUAL BOOKS FOR EACH SUBDIVISION ISNT NECESSARY.
Companies that provide services through subdivisions can arrange a consolidated sales
book and a book for purchases. Having individual books for each office isnt necessary.
Legislation act: Letter of the Ministry of Finance from March 24th 2015 03-07-11/16050
THE AGENT DREW UP OUR COMPANY ONE INVOICE FOR TWO VENDORS. DO I HAVE TO
REGISTER THE INVOICE TWICE IN THE PURCHASE LEDGE?
Only one entry can be made in the purchase ledger. From January 1st 2015, an intermediary
who buys goods from two or more vendors for a principal on their behalf, is entitled to put in
a single invoice. This document can combine figures of invoices issued by different vendors
on the same product or service.
In the second column of the purchase ledger the operation code will be 27. In columns 9 and
10 the TIN/RRC of the providers has to be put with a semicolon. The information about the
agent should be written in columns 11 and 12. Column 15 should reflect the cost of the
goods (works, services) which are specified in column 9 of the invoice, whilst column 16
should show the amount of tax from column 8 of the invoice.
