Tax System of Russia
The Russian tax system is relatively new. The tax year in
Russia is the calendar year. Different fiscal year-ends are not
permitted.
There are a number of significant taxes in Russia charged
in relation to sales and property, and
taxes specific to certain
industries or activities (gaming/gambling, for example).
There is a simplified system of taxation established for small
enterprises, which may pay a unified tax on income and a reduced
number of other taxes. Regional authorities have the right to
introduce a tax on imputed income within their jurisdictions for
legal entities and individual businessmen carrying out activities
in certain industries.
Enterprises, farms and individual businessmen producing
agricultural products have to pay a unified agricultural tax instead
of most other taxes if this activity represents at least 70% of total
revenues for a certain period.
Taxes, duties and fees are enacted
by law and may be changed
only by new legislation. The Federal Tax Service, which is responsible
for collecting taxes, closely coordinates its activities with the Ministry
of Finance, which has overall responsibility
for collection of Russia
state budget revenues. Also the Federal Tax Service coordinates with
law enforcement bodies, in particular, with the Federal Agency for
Economic and Tax Crimes under the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The
Federal Agency, which replaced the Tax police, is
responsible for uncovering tax violations and investigating cases of
gross tax evasion, which is criminal offence under Russian law. The
Federal Agency is a powerful tool for tax administration. Gross tax
evasion is defined by the Russian Criminal
Code as underpayment
of taxes.

Companies are required to file reports with the tax authorities
on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis, depending on the particular
tax and the company’s line of business. Taxes are paid in monthly,
quarterly
or annual installments, and a final adjustment made when
annual tax returns are submitted. The tax authorities do not issue
tax assessments to enterprises. Instead, the company must pay the
amount of tax indicated in the tax return.
