Russian Bill Would Introduce CFC Regime

Russia’s Ministry of Finance, on March 18, published a bill introducing controlled foreign company (“CFC”) rules to the Russian tax laws. The bill also deems a foreign company as a Russian tax resident when the company’s management is in Russia and taxes sales of shares in an entity where the entity’s assets consist of indirectly owned Russian real property.
