An established entity needs tax, accounting, payroll and legal handled as one coordinated function — accurately, on time, and ready for an FTS review.
Once your Russian entity is trading, the work shifts to keeping it compliant, reported and coordinated. A foreign-owned company faces recurring corporate income tax and VAT obligations, monthly payroll and personal income tax, statutory accounting under Russian standards (RAS), and the possibility of a Federal Tax Service query or audit. Handled in separate silos, these create gaps and risk. TaxWell runs them as one function: a compliance calendar that keeps every filing on time, RAS bookkeeping with IFRS reconciliation for your group, payroll and HR administration, and legal and transfer-pricing support when intercompany flows need it. When the FTS does come, your positions are documented and defensible. The aim is simple — no surprises, and numbers your head office can rely on.

RAS (Russian Accounting Standards) is the statutory basis for bookkeeping and reporting in Russia. It differs from IFRS, so foreign groups usually keep RAS books for compliance and reconcile to IFRS for group reporting.
Review your CIT and VAT positions ahead of time, close high-risk treatments and keep supporting documentation organised. A pre-audit health check identifies exposures before inspectors do and lets you remediate on your terms.
Controlled intra-group transactions above statutory thresholds require transfer-pricing documentation and, in some cases, notification. A local file aligned to your group master file keeps you defensible in an FTS review.
