- Russia’s Finance Ministry clarified the VAT exemption for catering services: it applies if the average monthly payments to employees for the previous year are at least the average monthly salary in each relevant region.
- Companies on AUSN/AutoUSN do not file RSV reports with the tax authority, but the ministry said they may still qualify for the exemption if all other legal conditions are met.
- The salary condition can be considered satisfied because tax authorities can verify employee payments and headcount from other available sources.
- For AUSN companies, since they cannot have separate subdivisions, the comparison should be made using Rosstat’s average monthly salary for the region where the company is registered.
