Preparation of documents
New rules on transfer pricing have taken effect in 2012 in Russia. The new law replaced clauses 20 and 40 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation with the new section V.1. "Related parties. General provisions on prices and taxation. Tax control over the transactions between the related parties. The pricing agreement".
The changes in the rules on transfer pricing have affected most parts of business community that carry out their activities through a group of related parties, since the law has significantly extended the list of grounds according to which the parties can be recognized as the related ones as well as the list of the controlled transactions.
Under the new law, Russian taxpayers who belong to the group of companies (holding companies) that are inter-related with other local and foreign entities and who enter into controlled transactions with them must prepare and submit transfer pricing accounts to the tax authorities.
Reports on transfer pricing include:
- Notices about controlled transactions;
- Documents on transfer pricing.
A taxpayer is obliged:
- To submit the Notice about controlled transactions to the tax authorities by 20th of May (of the year following the calendar year when the controlled transactions were carried out);
- To submit the Documents on transfer pricing within 30 days of the request from tax authorities.
