The second, in turn, relates to the sale of products at events, such as bazaars, promoted by civil entities themselves. Therefore, it is crucial to emphasize that the sale of these products to the end consumer is strictly prohibited.
In this context, at the time of purchase, it is imperative that the OSC issues a receipt, explaining the goods, the amount and also registering the buyer. In this way, the receipt remains valid for two years and acts as a guarantee for both the IRS and the OSC.
