- Starting from January 1, 2024, the calculation method for the average monthly payment size when applying VAT exemption in the catering industry has been clarified.
- Previously, the calculation was based on the total number of individuals receiving payments (list size) and compared to the average monthly salary published by Rosstat.
- Now, the calculation will use the average number of employees instead of the list size.
- This change in calculation methodology will allow more entrepreneurs in the catering industry to apply for VAT exemption.
