Taxes and economic issues

About service

Tax legislation in Russia is an industry sector which is more often subject to material changes and not every lawyer is able to puzzle it out.

Issues related to taxes and levies include not only an enormous number of contradicting regulations which shall be kept in mind by the top officials and accountants of the company but also involve huge fines, substantial surcharges in case of incorrect assessment of taxes, tax audits and a threat to be handed a sentence in case of error.

The situation gets more complicated due to another two factors contributing to the foregoing: first, legal entities and individual entrepreneurs must assess taxes on their own, often against absence of any uniformity of law-enforcement practice, second, the burden of proving innocence with regard to tax offences and/or crimes shall be imposed on the suspect, provided that it does not matter: whether the suspect is a legal entity or an individual.

It is becoming more commonplace for tax authorities to impose liability for offences which occured more than three years ago. And it is sometimes the case that one incompetent answer to such claim becomes ground for recognition of an offence, while it could be avoided due to expiry of limitation period.
