Sergei Gerasimov talks about inheritance planning
Read
In Russia, court statistics show that there is a special attitude towards marriage contracts, corporate and partnership agreements, wills and inheritance planning issues. Private individuals solve problems as they come in, without planning in advance; if love reigns in the family, there is no need to distribute property; business is organised exclusively by friends - so you can trust each other 100%, without having to put agreements in writing; and inheritance planning should never be done before you are 70 years old. This, of course, is all irony, but in reality, private individuals in Russia are rarely thoughtful about the future of their assets.
The key issues of inheritance planning, as well as the most beneficial options for inheritance in Russia and abroad were discussed in the Q&A with the managing partner of ALPINE Tax, Sergey Gerasimov.

New visa requirements in the UAE
Read
Now it is impossible to extend a tourist visa without leaving the country. Numerous sources report that the UAE authorities have canceled the exemptions introduced in connection with the coronavirus pandemic.
According to open sources, it is currently possible to extend your stay in the state only in Dubai after 90 days of stay. However, there is a risk in refusing an extension, and it will be necessary to leave the country. This option is currently unavailable in other emirates.
In November of this year, the fine for late tourist visas was reduced to 50 dirhams per day. If a tourist visa is overdue for more than 30 days, the person may face arrest.
The arrest also threatens the holder of a resident visa who has not had time to change his status or leave the country 6 months after the expiration of the visa.
We are waiting for official confirmation.

But not everyone knows what a capital amnesty actually is: it is not a confession to crimes, and there is no need to pay taxes according to a special declaration.

On-site tax audits
Read
Over the past few months, cases have become more frequent when tax authorities send requests for explanations in connection with the ownership of foreign assets — accounts in banks and brokers, CFC, real estate; and the receipt of the corresponding income.The requirements are formed on the basis of information received as part of the automatic exchange between countries. As a result, information about previously undeclared income may be disclosed, which will entail conducting an on-site tax audit of the entire structure of the taxpayer's income.
This, in turn, threatens with substantial additional charges and fines.We recommend that you carefully consider such requests, and when you receive them, promptly contact specialists in order to prevent on—site tax audits and additional charges.

Fixed income tax CFC
Read
From 2020, owners of controlled foreign companies (CFC) will have access to a new regime for paying taxes on CFC profits: if desired, they can abandon the standard procedure for declaring profits of a foreign company and instead pay a fixed fee of 5 million rubles per year.
An additional bonus of the "fixed" regime is that there is no need to submit CFC financial statements to the Russian tax authorities.It seems that the benefits of switching to such a mode are obvious, but the devil, as usual, is in the details.
You can learn more about the advantages of the fixed CFC mode in our brochure at the link.

CFC profit
Read
The legislation of the Russian Federation requires that the owner of a controlled foreign company declare the profit of a CFC if it exceeds the threshold of 10 million rubles.
However, CFC owners often mistakenly transfer the amount of profit generated in the IFRS statements to the declaration on Form 3-personal income tax. This approach can lead to serious additional charges or overpayments.
How to prevent this from happening? Make the necessary adjustments provided for by the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.
Please contact our specialists — they will help not only to make the necessary adjustments, but also to prepare the accompanying documents and fill out the declaration correctly.
