- The Ministry of Finance is drafting amendments to the VAT Law, focusing on agriculture and animal feed sectors.
- Current VAT regulations cause financial strain and inefficiency for businesses exporting agricultural products, due to delayed tax refunds and capital being tied up.
- Imported agricultural and aquatic products are exempt from VAT, creating unfair competition for domestic producers who must pay VAT and wait for refunds.
- Animal feed producers face higher costs because input VAT is not deductible, making domestic products less competitive than imports.
- The draft law proposes changes to VAT exemptions and refund conditions to address these issues and improve fairness and business efficiency.
