- Companies and individual entrepreneurs applying the simplified tax system (УСН) are not allowed to issue VAT invoices when selling goods, services, or works.
- However, they have the option to issue such an invoice with the VAT amount specified.
- Nevertheless, this will only result in additional obligations without any benefits.
- In other words, the simplified tax system users will have to pay VAT, but they will not be able to claim it as a deduction.
- Only VAT taxpayers have the right to claim VAT deductions.
