“In Russia, tax liability will be mitigated.” Lawyer Nikita Rozhentsov for RBC pro.
30 марта 2023 г.

There has been a thaw in relations between the tax authorities and entrepreneurs. Liability for some criminal offenses can be avoided by paying debts.

"The government of Russian Federation considers these innovations as support for business in difficult economic and political conditions.

Even if the entrepreneur has violated the criminal law, then having realized his guilt, making amends for it before the budget and paying the tax, he will be able to continue working, contributing to the development of the Russian economy under the sanctions.

The current amendments to the Criminal Code will have a positive practical significance: a tax offense will actually be decriminalized by paying arrears, penalties and fines to the budget. And such exemption from liability will apply regardless of whether the person committed the crime for the first time or had a relapse.

The state unequivocally gives a specific signal: it is ready to make concessions if the entrepreneur himself takes the first step towards resolving the situation.
