TAX PLANNING FOR RUSSIA AND UKRAINE

As you probably are aware of, doing business in Russia or Ukraine is risky. Unexpected changes in state policy and frequent changes in law may directly influence your business. If you don't take care, law may even turn your company from flourishing to bankruptacy.

In Russia and Ukraine the law system is very vague and subject to constant change. Changes of economic structure are always followed by changes in legislative base. Thus, business in these countries requires not only constant monitoring of changes of laws and legislation, but also deep knowledge about how to interpret the laws. Knowing the tax laws and being in close personal contact with high tax officials will not only save you from possible hazardous activities, but also allow you to organize your business in such a way that certain activities may not be taxed at all, or you may have to pay substantially less tax, or you may benefit from tax treaties with your country of origin.
