Tax-Deductible Expenses: Why an Invoice Alone Is Not Enough

Many companies assume that any expense supported by an invoice is automatically tax-deductible. In practice, this is not always the case.

During audits, FURS primarily checks:

  • whether the expense is related to business activity,
  • whether there is a legitimate business purpose,
  • whether the supporting documentation is sufficient.

The most commonly disputed expenses include:

  • representation costs,
  • vehicle expenses,
  • private use of company assets,
  • undocumented cash expenses.

If the company cannot demonstrate a business connection:
➡️ the expense may be treated as non-deductible.

This may result in:

  • higher taxable income,
  • additional tax liabilities,
  • interest and penalties.

➡️ Important: An invoice is evidence — not an automatic right to deduct the expense.
