Indirect tax and customs
We have a team of indirect taxes and customs legislation consultants which specializes in helping companies comply with the complex and rapidly changing requirements for VAT, excise and customs duties in Russia and other CIS countries. VAT alone, if not duly accounted for in a company's tax strategy, may increase the cost of operations in Russia by 18%. Frequent changes in legislation and a lack of unified interpretation of its provisions by the tax and customs authorities make indirect taxes a complex field of legislation. In addition, VAT, excise and customs duties concerning a companies' foreign trade activity require the consideration of indirect taxes in import-export operations. In view of the above our services include:
- Review of the company’s activity from the point of view of indirect taxes and customs legislation with the identification of risk areas and possible optimization of tax and customs payments
- Analysis of contractual arrangements and related VAT, excise and customs payments issues
- Analysis of application of various customs regimes and their combinations
- Managing projects on obtaining VAT and customs duties exemptions related to the contribution of equipment to the charter capital
- On-going consultation on the application of tax and customs legislation
