For invoices made before February 1, 2022 with the VAT rate of 10%, after February 1, 2022, it arises errors that need to be adjusted, the adjusted invoices and returned invoices will be made with the VAT rate of 10%.
For activities of providing specific goods and services such as electricity supply, business establishments are entitled to a reduction in VAT following the regulations for making invoices from February 1, 2022 to the end of December 31, 2022.
