Ye. M. Khegai A review of regulatory documents concerning taxation issues, which were made public in February and March of The clear trend towards the restoration of the situation existing in the sphere of taxation prior to the entering into force of the RF Tax Code persists. It is reflected in the reconstitution of several supervisory organizations having the right to collect arrears and penalties without recourse to the courts.

These agencies do not coordinate their activities, therefore financial risks faced by producers sharply increase, there arises a threat of breaches of schedules of payments to contractors, there also arises a threat of defaults on other liabilities, and, as a result, there is a greater risk that a business may become financially insolvent. Such decisions taken in the sphere of mandatory payments sharply deteriorate the investment climate and can not be justified. It is necessary to minimize the number of oversight agencies and again vest all powers to carry out inspections and collect penalties only with the RF Federal Tax Service.

There continues the divergence from the principles set forth by the RF Tax Code as a single document, in the framework of which there were defined uniform terms and categories and removed contradictions and reiterations. The deterioration of the situation is reflected by the fact that individual articles of the RF Tax Code begin again to become more and more isolated. Since recently, the amendments introduced to the document have been of less and less systematic nature. In the framework of coterminous taxes the same (similar) elements are introduced separately. It results in the duplication of such principal stipulations of the Code as expenditures, procedures governing the calculation of the tax base, and so on. As a result, the RF Tax Code begins to become a collection of separate and not logically connected constructions, what in fact means the return to the system of numerous segmented normative acts in the framework of each of which there existed its own conceptual and terminological base, which had existed earlier.

The necessity to streamline and unify taxation, to abandon multiplicity of special taxation regimes becomes more and more urgent. These special tax regimes have become surrogates of sorts of the tax privileges, which had existed earlier.

In February and March of 2006, there was adopted a number of normative acts and published explanations of certain issues pertaining to taxation made by the respective authorities.

1. Letter of the Federal Tax Service No. MM-6-03/265 of March 14, 2006, and letter of the RF Finance Ministry No. 03-04-15/40 of February 2, 2006, explain the procedures governing the documentary confirmation of the lawfulness of the application of the zero added value tax rate by the tax payers exporting goods out of the territory of the Russian Federation and the tax payers selling goods to residents of Special Economic Zones.

The letters explain that since January 1, 2006, the application of the zero value added tax rates is permitted only in the case (upon presentation of all required documents) the goods are under one of the customs regimes stipulated by the RF Customs Code (the goods sold under the export regime or goods being under the SEZ customs regime) on condition that the same treatment is further accorded to the said goods.

2. Letter of the Federal Tax Service No. GI-6-04/232 of March 7, 2006, and letter of the RF Finance Ministry No. 03-05-01/6 of February 27, 2006, explain the issue of taxation of payments made to servicepersons for the purposes of purchase of essential property with the income tax on individuals.

These letters change the stand the Finance Ministry had previously taken on this issue, and define the lump sum allowance for purchase of essential property paid to contracted servicepersons in the amounts and under the procedures set forth in Resolution of the RF Government No. 796 of December 16, 2004, (12 monthly salaries) as a compensation payment. Accordingly, basing on item 3 of article 217 of the RF Tax Code, the incomes of servicepersons serving in the Armed Forces in accordance with contracts in the form of allowance for purchase of essential property should not be subject to the income tax on individuals.

3. Federal law No. 39 FZ of March 13, 2006, makes amendments to articles 26.1 and 26.3 of the RF Tax Code.

In particular, agricultural enterprises engaged in the primary and secondary (industrial) processing of their produce should be defined as payers of the agricultural tax on the condition that the share of agricultural produce and products of primary processing makes not less than 70 per cent of the total volume of production of such enterprises.

The RF Tax Code directly introduces restrictions on defining fishery products as agricultural produce. The Code stipulates that only the amounts of fish catches made by Russian fishery enterprises being the only enterprises in respective settlements and towns may be defined as agricultural produce.

The new version of the said articles establish the group of persons having no right to switch to the payment of the single agricultural tax (organizations having subsidiaries and representation offices, organizations engaged in production of excisable goods, budget funded entities and so on).

As concerns fixed assets and intangible assets, the law permits to deduct not only the expenditures borne with respect to purchase thereof, but also for production thereof with the use of own resources.

The list of expenditures permitted to be deducted in the course of calculation of the tax base was expanded by the adding of expenditures in the form of negative exchange rate differences, borne in relation to purchase of property rights for plots of land, expenditures for the payment of commission and agent remunerations, as well as the expenditures for the use of the rights on intellectual property objects, and some others.
