- Sales to non-resident passengers under VAT Law 11/1-b are considered exports.
- Profits from these sales qualify for a 5-point reduction in corporate tax rate starting from the 2023 fiscal period.
- The tax reduction applies only to export-derived profits, not total profits; if there are both domestic and export sales, profits must be separated per regulations.
- The reduced rate cannot exceed the export profit or net corporate profit.
- The tax authority’s ruling is binding only for the applicant but serves as a strong precedent for similar cases.
