Whether reorganising or leaving, the moving parts — tax clearance, employees, assets and entities — must be sequenced so nothing is left open for the parent.
Changing the shape of a Russian business — or leaving it — is where the most moving parts come together at once. A reorganisation, sale or wind-down touches tax clearance, employees, assets, contracts and one or more legal entities, and the order in which they are handled determines whether anything is left open for the parent afterwards. TaxWell plans and executes the transition as a single sequence: an ordered plan across entities, tax and people; share transfers, conversions or liquidation; statutory workforce transition with correct severance; asset and contract transfer; and final tax clearance and reporting. Where profit or proceeds are repatriated, treaty relief and withholding are modelled up front. The goal is a clean close-out with no residual claims or exposure.

A workforce transition must follow Russian employment law, including correct notice and statutory severance. Handled properly, it protects the company from claims and keeps the exit clean.
Yes, though the route depends on where the parent sits. Where a double tax treaty remains active, reduced withholding on dividends applies; where it is suspended, domestic rates apply. Both should be modelled before you move funds.
Branch-to-LLC conversion involves incorporating the new entity, transferring assets, contracts and employees, and updating tax and registration — sequenced to avoid downtime in active projects.
