Return of goods by buyer: VAT adjustment with software correction

• When a buyer returns goods, the supplier must prepare a correction calculation with VAT
• The correction calculation must be registered in the Unified Register of Tax Invoices (ЄРПН) by the buyer
• The correction calculation must be done within 1095 calendar days from the date of the original tax invoice
• If the correction calculation results in a decrease in compensation amount for the supplier, the tax obligations and tax credit of both the supplier and the recipient must be adjusted accordingly
• The buyer must reduce the tax credit in the reporting period in which the goods were returned
• If the returned funds are not refunded and are used for future purchases, a tax invoice must be prepared for the transaction.
