Seminar on Latest tax legislation changes. A new business season ahead

Dear colleagues, business partners, and friends,

Forte Tax & Law is pleased to invite you to a seminar on the latest changes in domestic and international taxation to be held on September 27, 2018. This seminar will be especially useful for specialists and heads of financial, accounting and legal departments.

You will find out about the most important and recent tax changes that will become effective in the upcoming season. You will also get practical recommendations on how to proceed in view of these changes and will be able to share your experience and discuss matters of current interest with colleagues.

KEY TOPICS:

1. Changes to domestic taxation

• Increase of VAT rate up to 20%: What consequences will arise for taxpayers? Are suppliers entitled to change prices in long-term contracts as a result of the increase in VAT rate? What to do if 100% prepayment is received in 2018, but goods or services are delivered in 2019?
• Changes to property tax and profit tax. How will the changes to profit tax affect the investors who counted on regional benefits when assessing their project profitability? What will business gain from the abolition of corporate tax on movable property?
• Electronic document management: How to put it in place properly in a Russian context? What can be initiated in the near future to improve forms for electronic documents, invoices and waybills?

 

2. Changes to international taxation

• Google tax for B2B. What will the adopted amendments mean for multinational groups of companies? How to deal with software cost sharing arrangements?
• Changes to transfer pricing: What do these changes actually mean for business? Or how another round of “relaxation of the rules” will result in new problems for business.
• Ratification of multilateral BEPS convention (MLI) in Russia: What will this change in practice, and is the business community ready for these forthcoming changes?
