Russia’s Federal Tax Service monitors and supervises compliance with tax and levy legislation, including the correct calculation and full and timely payment of taxes, levies and insurance contributions to the relevant budgets in cases prescribed by Russian law, as well as other mandatory payments.
The Russian federal budget currently needs additional revenue more than ever. Taxes are the main source of government revenue, which may lead the tax authority to take a subjective approach to audits and assess excessive additional taxes against your business, impose disproportionate fines, late-payment interest and other charges.
Our team regularly encounters these issues and helps clients successfully challenge the tax authorities.
In one such matter, our lawyers secured a court decision rejecting claims by Russia’s Federal Tax Service exceeding RUB 1.2 billion.
