How is the purchase and sale of Urban Buses tickets tax-regulated (regarding mini-market kiosks, etc. that are supplied wholesale)?
Final distributors of tickets to the public do not issue tax information when selling tickets. They also do not issue tax information for their supply. The relevant revenue is shown in their books maintained based on the deemed receipt they receive at the time of receipt of the tickets. The recipient of the receipt will include the commission amount in the sales statement because this receipt replaces the service invoice in this particular case. The ticket sales commission is exempt from VAT. The return of the tickets to the Urban KTEL is not foreseen by the procedure of their disposal.
