Acsour expert, Valentina Alexandrova, conducted a comprehensive webinar titled "Key Amendments to the Tax Code of the Russian Federation Effective 2026". The event was dedicated to a detailed analysis of the upcoming tax reform, which will affect the majority of Russian companies and entrepreneurs.
The presentation examined a comprehensive package of amendments affecting all key aspects of taxation. The expert provided a structured overview, dividing the changes into three main blocks.
Changes in Corporate Taxation
The presentation included a detailed analysis of key legislative innovations affecting the financial and economic activities of companies:
Regulatory Framework and Key Rates: amendments to the regulatory framework were reviewed, including the dynamics and planned increase of the VAT rate to 22%, as well as the lowering of the income threshold that triggers the obligation to pay VAT.
Expenses, Losses, and Insurance Contributions: changes in the rules for loss carryforwards, accounting for material assistance expenses, application of reduced insurance premium rates, and calculation of contributions on payments at the minimum wage level were analyzed, including new categories of non-taxable income.
Administrative Procedures and Control: innovations were highlighted regarding the procedure for tax registration, operation of the Unified Tax Account, issuance of tax notices, as well as the digitalization of tax audits and the extension of the temporary procedure for calculating penalties.
Changes in Personal Taxation
Key amendments concerning the taxation of citizens' income were presented:
Expansion of the list of incomes exempt from Personal Income Tax (PIT).
Clarifications were provided on the application of tax exemptions for income under gift agreements.
Preparing for the Tax Reform
Special attention was paid to practical recommendations for business adaptation to the forthcoming changes:
A methodology for independent calculation and budgeting of changes in the tax burden was presented.
A list of specific measures that companies can implement now to minimize financial and operational risks was formed.
The main goal of the webinar was to provide participants not just with information about the changes, but with practical tools for preparation. Knowing the rules in advance allows one not only to minimize risks but also to find new opportunities for optimization.
Following the webinar, attendees gained a clear understanding of the upcoming changes and practical recommendations for developing an adaptation plan, as well as the opportunity to sign up for a free personal consultation for a detailed analysis of the reform's consequences for their specific business.
