The Federal Tax Service (FTS) has developed a portal “VAT Internet company office” with which foreign IT-companies will be able to pay “on the Google tax” remotely. This was reported by the publication of RBC with reference to the statement by the head of the Federal Tax Service Michael Mishustina .
service will start on 1 January 2017, when the Act came into force on “Tax on Google», obliging foreign IT companies to pay value added tax for sales in Russia of digital content, software, storage, services, and information processing, as well as domain registration and hosting. For tax companies must register with the tax office.
The Federal Tax Service said that the service will be translated into English and other languages. To foreign companies learned about the new law and the instrument for the payment of the tax, the Federal Tax Service will launch an extensive information campaign.
Some foreign companies already has a representative office in Russia and a Russian legal entity, such as Google. Will these companies to use the new service depends on after a representation they provide their services in Russia. If a foreign company provides services in the Russian legal entity, then pay the tax is not necessary, as the fiscal agent is the Russian “daughter».
Let’s remind, Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a Russian “on the Google tax “July 4, 2016. The law will affect organizations that do not have separate divisions in Russia and oblige them to register with the tax authorities and to regularly provide a declaration on the value-added tax (VAT). The Russian company has already paid such a tax, so the bill equates them with foreign players.
