Russian Tax Advice and Disputes
Assess the Russian tax aspects of operations, assets and cross-border income, or prepare a response to a tax authority. Work begins with the facts, documents and procedural stage, not a promised tax saving.
When to contact us
- A transaction or asset has a Russian tax connection.
- Residence or cross-border income raises questions.
- A tax authority has requested information or started a review.
- You need to challenge a decision or demand.
What the engagement may include
- Assessment of the Russian tax position and legal risks.
- Written opinions based on the agreed facts and documents.
- Responses, objections, complaints and procedural documents.
- Representation within the agreed scope, coordinating calculations with accountants where needed.
What you receive
A reasoned legal position, written advice or procedural documents and an agreed response plan. The engagement identifies who prepares calculations and verifies accounting records.
Foreign tax advice requires a specialist for that jurisdiction. No tax rates, relief eligibility or savings are promised here; these depend on a current assessment of the particular facts.
Getting started
First identify the parties’ roles, the Russian connection and any deadline without sending confidential documents. After the conflict check, the scope, documents, timetable and fee are agreed. Advice is tied to the facts and materials supplied.
- Send a brief first enquiry and identify the Russian issue.
- We check whether the engagement can be accepted, including conflicts and communication arrangements.
- Agree the scope and price of a consultation or initial assessment before it takes place.
- Agree further work, fees, expenses, authority and engagement documents.
- Carry out the work, discuss key decisions, report progress and deliver agreed results.
Working across borders
The engagement covers Russian law. Foreign-law questions, translation, certification and the participation of local advisers are agreed as needed. The language of this page does not imply a foreign professional qualification.
Questions before you start
Do you work with companies and individuals?
Both can have Russian tax questions. The facts and scope determine the engagement.
Can both countries’ tax rules be considered?
The Russian part is handled here; foreign-law analysis is coordinated with the appropriate adviser.
Can my accountant participate?
Yes. Accounting information and calculations are coordinated with clearly assigned responsibilities.
What if a review has already started?
State the document received and the nearest deadline in brief. Document transfer and the scope of urgent work are agreed separately.
Contact
Contact Irina Korneeva by email or telephone. Briefly describe your matter and any deadline. Consultations are available in Russian and English.
