How to avoid fines in the Russian Federation for not reflecting websites and other intangible assets in the balance sheet of companies?
In connection with the cancellation of the privilege for not reflecting intellectual assets, all Russian companies that have websites, mobile applications and other intangible objects fall into the risk zone of fines.
Starting January 1, 2020, Russia will have to pay income tax on all income generated with the participation of intangible assets (letter of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation of 08.08.2019 N 03-03-07 / 60630), and the assets themselves should be mandatory reflected in the financial reporting system.
According to the Ministry of Finance, the grace period established for 2018-2019 by subparagraph 3.6 of paragraph 1 of Article 251 of the Tax Code, allowing not to reflect intellectual property objects found as a result of the audit, was quite sufficient for business entities to be able to put their accounting systems in order.
In this regard, the extension in 2020 of the preferential subparagraph 3.6 of paragraph 1 of Article 251 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation is not planned.
