VAT deduction
When deciding not to allocate VAT in the act of provision of services, it is necessary to take into account the interests of the consumer of services when receiving a deduction.
The fact is that in paragraph 4 of Art. 168 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation states that in settlement documents, including registers of checks and registers for receiving funds from a letter of credit, primary accounting documents and invoices, the corresponding amount of tax is highlighted on a separate line.
According to the opinion of the Federal Tax Service, expressed in the letter of the Federal Tax Service dated February 28, 2013 N ED-19-3/26 “On value added tax,” the right to deduction can be made dependent on such an allocation.
In accordance with paragraph 1 of Art. 172 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, tax deductions are made on the basis of invoices issued by sellers when the taxpayer purchases goods (work, services), property rights, documents confirming the actual payment of tax amounts when importing goods into the territory of the Russian Federation and other territories under its jurisdiction, documents confirming the payment of tax amounts withheld by tax agents, or on the basis of other documents in the cases provided for in paragraphs 3, 6-8 of Article 171 of this Code.
Speaking about deductions, it makes sense to mention the opinion of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, contained in the ruling dated February 15, 2005 N 93-O. The Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation indicated that, within the meaning of Art. 169 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, compliance of the invoice with the requirements established by paragraphs 5 and 6 of this article makes it possible to determine the counterparties to the transaction (its subjects), their addresses, the object of the transaction (goods, work, services), the quantity (volume) of goods supplied (shipped) ( works, services), the price of goods (works, services), as well as the amount of accrued VAT paid by the taxpayer and subsequently accepted by him for deduction. The literal meaning of paragraph. 2 p. 1 art. 172 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation allows us to make an unambiguous conclusion that the obligation to confirm the legality and validity of tax deductions with primary documentation lies with the taxpayer - the buyer of goods (works, services), since it is he who acts as the subject who applies, when calculating the final amount of tax payable to the budget, deduction of tax amounts accrued by suppliers.
Thus, the taxpayer’s right to tax deductions is conditioned by his acquisition of goods (work, services) used to carry out activities that are subject to value added tax, the acceptance of these goods (work, services) for registration and the availability of invoices and relevant primary documents , reliably confirming the fact of a business transaction.
Indication in the act of provision of services the cost of the service, including VAT, without highlighting the amount of tax may raise questions among inspectors. However, during court proceedings, judges do not agree with the practice of tax authorities in refusing deductions on these grounds.
Thus, the resolution of the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the North-Western District dated May 19, 2009 N A05-9925/2007 states that the provisions of Chapter 21 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation do not establish special requirements for the volume and types of primary documents confirming the fact of acquisition of goods (works, services) and their acceptance to accounting. However, in order to obtain the right to deduct value added tax, the taxpayer must prove the fact of purchasing the goods and accepting it for accounting with primary documents drawn up in accordance with the requirements of Art. 9 of the Federal Law of November 21, 1996 N 129-FZ “On Accounting”.
A similar point of view is expressed in the resolution of the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the Ural District dated 08/09/2012 N F09-6167/12 in case N A60-34756/2011.
In addition, the reality of a business transaction by the company is confirmed not only by primary documents, but also by the contract, the fact of payment, including VAT in the case of the acquisition of goods, by documents confirming their transportation and sale.
This approach is demonstrated in the ruling of the Supreme Arbitration Court dated 02/11/2010 N VAS-989/10, resolutions of the FAS of the Ural District dated 08/09/2012 N F09-6167/12 in case N A60-34756/2011, FAS of the Central District dated 09/22/2010 in case N A36-2828/2009.

Why do you need a certificate of completion?
Without acts, all company expenses cannot be taken into account when calculating income tax. The act of performance of work and services (or, as it is also called the “act of acceptance and transfer”) is provided for in the contract signed between the customer and the contractor as a closing document.
The act is written evidence of the completion of certain work or part thereof. The acts indicate the deadlines for completing work and services, list the work and services provided, and reflect the deadlines for completing the volumes of work that were specified in the contract.
The acceptance certificate is not a strict reporting document; the enterprise has the right to develop it independently in accordance with the Accounting Law. In this case, filling out the act is mandatory under the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. If for each missing act a fine is imposed on the violating organization, additional taxes may be assessed. Penalties will also be imposed for errors in filling out the act. If you do not yet have an accountant, then you can always turn to trusted partners of SKB Kontur for help. Submit your application!

Taxation
Each individual entrepreneur carrying out commercial activities in Russia must be guided by the regulations of the Tax Code and other legal acts. In accordance with Article 252 of the Tax Code, an individual entrepreneur (in this case he acts as a customer of services), like any other business entity, has the right to reduce his expenses with documented costs. In this case, the work acceptance certificate will be the primary document that allows you to legally reduce taxable income.
Attention! The purpose of this act is to record the work performed under a specific contract. The absence of this form threatens business entities with penalties.
If, during the calculation of taxes, an entrepreneur underestimated expenses without reason (there are no reports), then during the audit the regulatory authorities will assess additional tax liabilities and apply penalties.
