Taxable transactions shall be deliveries of goods, the performance of work, and the provision of services, other than deliveries of goods, the performance of work, and the provision of services that are exempt from the value-added tax, which are performed as part of a person's commercial activity, if they are considered to be performed on the territory of the Republic of Tajikistan in accordance with Articles 218 or 219 of this Code. Taxable transactions shall not include the provision of services or performance of work outside the Republic of Tajikistan in accordance with Article 219 of this Code.

3. If a taxpayer purchases goods (work, services) accompanied by payment of the VAT and receives (or has the right to receive) the corresponding amount as a credit, the use of said goods (work, services) or the results of the use of the goods (work, services) for noncommercial activity shall be considered a taxable transaction.
