Yesterday the Russian Ministry of Finance published on the government’s portal information that the development and discussion has started with regard to a draft law to denounce the Convention between Russian Government and Government of Malta for the avoidance of double taxation from 1 January 2021. 

On 23 June the President addressed the public regarding new initiatives to amend tax legislation. Please find below the specified initiatives with our comments.

Pepeliaev Group advises that on 20 June 2020, by its Resolution No. 894, the Russian Government amended the rules that it had previously issued with respect to subsidies being granted to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from the most affected sectors in the amount of one minimum monthly wage per employee.

We continue to monitor the news concerning the adoption of benefits in Russian regions with respect to property taxes for owners of real estate who are landlords. For the period starting from 5 June, our list has grown by six more regions.

Pepeliaev Group advises that amendments have been passed to the Federal Law “On information, information technologies and data protection”. These amendments establish new rules for restricting access to information disseminated in violation of copyright and/or related rights or legal requirements, and specify the procedure for restricting access to the information resource of a person organising the dissemination of information.
