Corporate structuring
On the basis of a business strategy we can analyze all the practical aspects and consequences of the business, advise on problems and risks arising from civil, tax, currency control, customs, administration and provide the most advantageous solutions. Our clients can come to us with the outlines of a business proposal and we will help them to create a workable and effective business plan.
Deals structuring
Whether proposing or committing to a deal, close attention should be paid to tax, currency control and customs legislation. Delivery and payment terms, the use of an agency and provision/receipt of services from/to outside of Russia should be thoroughly considered to avoid creating problems with either business partners or the tax authorities.
Our clients can request comprehensive advice for their partners, who may need reassurance before committing to a deal with them. VFBS specialists also have experience in the application of international treaties on the avoidance of double taxation and operations with offshore structures.
Tax planning
Shareholders generally prefer a company to keep within the margins of their projected taxable income, meaning that management may have to come up with schemes to either decrease taxable income or avoid losses or a suspiciously low level of income. In order to do this effectively, management may require professional advice on legal tax planning schemes, including the presentation of them to their shareholders, and our specialists have all the experience necessary to do this.
Employment structuring
One of the key issues may be the employment structuring of foreign national specialists and their assignment in Russia. This structuring should done looking at not just the relevant legislation but also at the practicalities involved. For example, multinational companies very often find that foreign national employees from countries with a highly developed social security system prefer to account their income on their home country payroll. However, employers thinking of the costs involved are eager to recharge the expenses to the Russian subsidiaries.
Employment structuring will inevitably encompass the tax and accounting of compensation packages. VFBS specialists have significant experience in taxation, accounting and in the administration of compensations. Clients may also be provided with depictive and comprehensive advice on compensation calculation methods, rules of deductibility for corporate income tax purposes, documentation of compensation payments, including employment agreements, accounting and tax policy of the company, internal company legislative acts, etc.
Employees may also be required to file their taxes or want to find out about some of the benefits provided by Russian tax legislation. VFBS is proud to offer individual income tax services of high quality at a competitive price.
