The Federal Law is designed to improve Russian legislation governing taxes and duties as applicable to levying excise duties, corporate profit tax, mineral production tax, and collecting state duties with a view to creating additional revenue streams for funding state spending obligations.
In particular, the Federal Law sets higher fines for violating certain provisions of the Russian Federation Tax Code, including for failing to submit documents for an international group of companies.
