State subsidies, budget investments: VAT treatment
As you know, taxpayers receive various types of subsidies and budget investments that are allocated by different Executive authorities. How legitimate is it to accept VAT as a deduction in the case of state funding, because there is a possibility of double compensation: the organization receives both a subsidy that compensates for the amount of tax, and a deduction of “input” VAT? Until recently, the norm on restoring VAT when receiving subsidies did not take into account many features: the type of source of budget funds, the type of subsidy and its economic purpose. Therefore, during 2018-2019 the legislation on taxes and fees in terms of VAT provisions for receiving subsidies was significantly clarified; the changes took place in several stages, with certain exceptions valid for a specific period. For more information, see the interview with A.V. Oparina, Deputy head of the Department of taxation of income of legal entities of the Federal tax service of Russia.
