My cloud migration project rates have gone up — what happens if I cross the simplified-taxation threshold?
Running several cloud migration projects back-to-back in a short period with rising rates, without realizing you've crossed the simplified-taxation threshold, is a common way developers end up facing an unexpected penalty surcharge on the following year's VAT filing. If you're taking on multiple ongoing, repeated contracts, converting to business registration and claiming input VAT credits as a general taxpayer can be advantageous, so we recommend reviewing your revenue and expense structure together and deciding on your conversion timing in advance.
