Tax strategy
A strategy is responsible for turning the potential saving into a real one: by what exactly, how much it yields in money, and what has to be done so that an incentive or a regime applies from day one rather than retrospectively.
What is included
- The methods of reducing the tax burden that are open to this company given its figures
- The effect of each method calculated in roubles
- A course of action for each method and the documents it will require
- The risks of each method and the tax authority’s position on it
- A comparison of tax regimes, where a change of regime yields more than individual incentives
- The choice of the method to start with, backed by the calculation
Case studies
Choosing a tax regime for a studio
The request
The owner of a studio was taking part of the revenue outside the cash register and wanted to understand what it would cost if the inspectorate took notice. At the same time the owner was not sure that the studio was on a suitable tax regime.
What we did
We compared the tax regimes and methods of fiscal receipting available to the client against the studio’s actual figures, chose the most efficient one and described how to operate under it.
The result
The client received an opinion in which the benefit of changing the regime and the price of keeping the current way of taking revenue are calculated in the same monetary terms. The decision ceased to be a matter of intuition.
Structuring a cross-border group before launching a subsidiary
The request
A foreign company was going to set up a subsidiary in Russia. Cross-border payments, however, were complicated by banking sanctions and a high tax burden.
What we did
We described the possible structures for holding the subsidiary and calculated the tax burden in full for each option. We also prepared the ways of making a contribution to the Russian company and the transaction mechanics between the parent and the subsidiary for making investments and returning profit to the parent.
The result
The owners assessed all the possible holding structures, decided on the structure and chose the most efficient way of making payments before the Russian company was set up.
