The application of mineral extraction tax (hereinafter - MET) in the mining regions of Russia causes a number of problems for both taxpayers and tax authorities due to different interpretations of the norms of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. The most debatable practical issues include the concept and definition of the type of mineral.
