Taking outside the customs territory of the Russian Federation and transfer to a foreign counteragent of equipment manufactured under a contract of work performance (subject to requirements of the customs laws of the Russian Federation) is classified as export of goods to which the tax rate of 0 percent applies and, correspondingly, under which VAT refund may be requested. Correctness of this interpretation has been confirmed directly by the relevant tax agency of one of St. Petersburg districts which has made decision on VAT refund based on tax audit results.
The practice of conducting field tax audits solely on the basis of bank certificates on the flow of the tax payer’s funds has been introduced (or revived) lately. After the High Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation has issued specific rulings, tax agencies in some cases started to make conclusions on tax payers’ unfairness and deny both VAT deductions and recording of profit tax costs for taxation and, correspondingly, collect the relevant amounts (arrears, etc.)
