Russian VAT Legislation (Federal Law 335-FZ)

We are aware about the amendments to Federal Law 335-FZ with regards to the taxation of electronic services. However, we are not providing electronic services and therefore do not fall within the scope of this regulation.

Learn more on this subject by reading our tax governance white paper.
