Due to the imposed sanctions, "unfriendly" participants in a Russian company were planning to sell a business in Russia. The potential buyer of the business was a Russian retailer. The client was interested in analyzing tax risks, currency and anti-sanctions restrictions in relation to a potential transaction to acquire a business from unfriendly residents.

The Tax Compliance team at the end of the project: (1) analyzed the application of anti-sanctions and currency regulation acts; (2) identified and described tax risks associated with the implementation of the transaction; (3) developed a plan for the implementation of the transaction taking into account all risks and restrictions.

Under the contract, the client (the general contractor) was to receive income from the client. At the same time, the client had a payable to a subcontractor. The client was interested in setting off the counterclaims and analysing the resulting tax risks.

As a result of the project, Tax Compliance team managed to assess potential tax risks related to the transaction for the client and suggest ways to minimise them (changing the documents on business transactions, justifying the existence of a "business purpose" of the transactions, etc.).

The client had the task of reorganizing the legal structure of the business. Significant problems in implementing the project were: (1) restrictions on corporate matters by the founders; (2) a significant amount of accumulated deductions for inseparable improvements; (3) possible tax risks associated with the foreign element of the business. In view of the above, the taxpayer was offered ways to reorganize the existing legal structure. The Tax Compliance team has prepared a guide on how to implement the said project with the least risk of future tax claims.

The client received a guide on how to improve the existing legal structure and with step-by-step actions to implement it
