They want to start debt restructuring of legal entities six months earlier

The new bankruptcy procedure for legal entities may be effective on January 1, 2027 instead of July 27, 2027. The amendment has been submitted to the State Duma. Debt restructuring allows the company to restore its solvency according to the approved plan without going into receivership. The date shift will affect other innovations of the same law.

2,023 10.08

It will soon become easier to figure out which form of machine-readable power of attorney is suitable for a particular system. Starting from September 1, 2027, the Public Services form can be used in all cases, while the remaining forms will become additional. A separate innovation comes earlier: upon receiving a qualified certificate, a Russian organization submits its INN.

467 10.07

Starting from July 1, 2026, importers of goods from Kazakhstan, Armenia and Kyrgyzstan are required to make a security payment under the SPOT system — the estimated amount of VAT and excise taxes before the actual import of goods into Russia. The grace period for Belarus remains until November 1, 2026. The change diverts the working capital of companies already at the stage of planning the delivery, and not after its registration.

1,525 09.07

Since July 1, 2026, the list of food products subject to VAT at a discounted rate of 10% has been changed. The exact composition of the changes is fixed by a separate government decree. For food importers, a discrepancy between the HS code in the declaration and the current list after July 1 means the risk of additional VAT at the full rate of 20% instead of the preferential 10%.

EAEU–India Free Trade Zone moves towards signing at the autumn BRICS summit

1,897 02.07

The June technical round of negotiations on the EAEU–India free trade area ended constructively. The BRICS autumn summit in New Delhi is the most likely point for a political announcement of the signing. The EEC Director General confirmed: there are no obstacles. The US tariff pressure on India of 50% creates maximum motivation for New Delhi to close the agreement right now. For Russian exporters, there is a market of 1.4 billion people with preferential access.

For accountants of foreign economic activity companies importing goods from the EAEU by road, one month is required to restructure the accounting process.

June 29 — tax period: the last window for buying yuan at 10.8–11.0

679 29.06

June 29 is the peak of quarterly tax payments. On this day, exporters traditionally actively sell foreign currency to pay VAT and income tax, creating a temporary overhang of dollars and yuan on the market. The ruble is receiving short-term support. According to BSPB analysts, the yuan will trade in the range of 10.8–11.2 rubles on June 25-29. After June 29, pressure on the ruble will resume — without a tax "backup", Brent $ 72.5 will put pressure on the exchange rate.

The Ministry of Finance named the trends in the regulation of e-commerce in 2026: the EAEU Customs Code and the Federal Tax Service

2,106 26.06

At SPIEF 2026, Deputy Finance Minister Alexey Sazanov outlined three key trends in e-commerce regulation for 2026: supranational regulation of marketplaces through amendments to the EAEU Customs Code, monthly transmission of sales data by marketplaces to the Federal Tax Service from October and reduction of the VAT threshold from 60 to 20 million rubles. One of these trends is already working, the other two will take effect in the fall.

Digital Silk Road: Dependence on the dollar is a structural risk

1,460 22.06

Against the background of China's readiness for the commercial launch of mBridge, expert Natalia Milchakova outlined a key thesis: "It doesn't matter what geopolitical reasons will become the basis for such a block." This formulates a structural, rather than situational, motivation for diversifying settlement channels — the risk of disconnection from the dollar system remains a constant factor regardless of the current political situation.

The EEC lowers the duty-free threshold to €200 from July 1: gray schemes under attack

1,501 15.06

Starting from July 1, 2026, a new procedure for regulating electronic commerce begins to operate in the EAEU. The duty-free threshold for purchases on foreign marketplaces is set at 200 euros. Anything over this amount is subject to a duty of 5% above the national VAT rates, but not less than €1 per kg. For companies that have used importation through individuals as a channel for the supply of goods, the window is narrowing even more.

The EAEU lowers the duty-free threshold to €100: marketplaces have leveled conditions

859 26.05

The EAEU is moving towards lowering the duty-free threshold for foreign online orders from €200 to €100 — and probably to €50. This is one of the main changes in e-commerce in recent years: foreign trading platforms have been operating for years with a tax benefit that Russian marketplaces did not have. Wildberries and Ozon paid VAT and duties on each sale, while foreign competitors transported goods without customs duties. The threshold equalizes the conditions.

SPOT from June 1: shipment of 3 million — 660 thousand frozen

1,447 25.05

Starting from June 1, SPOT becomes mandatory for all those who import goods from the EAEU countries by road. The main change for marketplace sellers: VAT and excise taxes are now paid not after the sale, but before the goods are imported. A shipment of 3 million rubles is 660 thousand frozen funds until the goods are sold. For those who worked "by sight", this is the first real cash gap.

GosLog and hidden subexpedition — why the cargo owner will be responsible for shadow intermediaries

334 12.05

The GosLog registry should make the freight transportation market transparent. But the system has a blind spot — a hidden subexpedition, when a "direct" carrier silently resells a flight to a real contractor, without reflecting this in the system. For the cargo owner, such a scheme may result in additional VAT: the state will ask who is visible in the chain, not who earned it.

The Ministry of Industry and Trade wants 22% VAT on foreign parcels from 2027 — the Ministry of Finance is against a sharp jump

1,493 12.05

The Ministry of Industry and Trade has officially supported the introduction of a 22% VAT on foreign goods ordered via the Internet as early as January 1, 2027. The Ministry of Finance stands its ground: gradual growth — 7% in 2027, 14% in 2028, 22% by 2029. While the two agencies are discussing, businesses that import goods for sale through marketplaces should understand: VAT is introduced in any scenario. The only difference is the speed.
