AI image and video generation paid by invoice

Why a company needs invoice payment

A personal card works for a freelancer, not for a company. Company money leaves its bank account, and every expense needs a document in the company name. When an AI tool is paid with an employee’s card or through a reseller, the books get an expense with no proper basis.

Invoice payment fixes this directly: the company pays a Russian vendor under a contract and receives documents its accountant can use.

How it works

Invoice payment is part of the Constellation plan for companies. Terms are agreed once, and later top ups follow the same flow.

• Email partners@solistra.ru with your company details
• Agree on credit volume, seats and terms, then sign the contract
• We issue an invoice to the company
• Your accountant pays it from the company bank account
• Credits land on the shared balance once the payment reaches us
• Closing documents, including a completion certificate, are issued under the contract

What documents you receive

Under Russian accounting law, every business transaction is recorded with a primary document. For buying a service that usually means a contract, an invoice and a completion certificate, and Solistra works exactly this way.

• A contract with a Russian vendor
• An invoice to the company or sole proprietor
• A completion certificate
• Credit spending history in the account by generation and date

Why it matters for taxes

For profit tax an expense must be justified and supported by documents (Tax Code, Article 252). The simplified tax on income minus expenses adds a closed list of allowed expenses (Article 346.16). A reseller receipt in someone else’s name or an employee’s expense report for a foreign subscription usually raises questions in an audit.

A contract and completion certificate from a Russian vendor in the company name cover the documentation requirement. Your accountant decides which expense line the generation belongs to.

Tax agent VAT

When a Russian company or sole proprietor buys electronic services from a foreign company, it usually has to calculate and pay VAT on the seller’s behalf as a tax agent (Tax Code, Article 161 and Article 174.2). This applies to businesses on the simplified tax system too, and the standard VAT rate is 22% from 1 January 2026.

Buying from a Russian vendor does not create tax agent duties for a foreign service. Your accountant confirms how to record purchases from Solistra.

Compared with card payment

Card payment stays for personal plans. For a company the difference looks like this.

What the company balance covers

Company credits work across all of Solistra: images and video in Kling, Seedance, Hailuo, Wan, Veo, Nano Banana, Flux and other models, effects, characters, talking photos, upscaling, clips with Russian subtitles, Wildberries and Ozon product photos and infographics, the design editor and Motion with Claude or ChatGPT over MCP. Each generation shows its credit price before you run it.
