Donation of goods and services to earthquake-affected areas exempted from paying VAT
January 13, 2021
Value added tax (VAT) payers will be able to donate goods and services to earthquake-affected areas without paying VAT. This is another AmCham's proposal from April last year accepted by the the Government.
Taxpayers entered in the register of VAT payers are exempt from paying VAT on supplies of goods and services made without compensation or countermeasures (donations of goods and services) to help areas declared a disaster by the Decision on declaring a disaster in the area affected by the earthquake. The exemption applies to all donations of goods and services made starting in December 2020 until the end of 2021.
