KOROSTELEV & PARTNERS
Cross-Border Tax
Tax advice for international ownership, financing and transactions involving Russia.
We assess withholding taxes on dividends, interest and royalties, transaction taxes and the availability of treaty relief. Presidential Decree No. 585 of 8 August 2023 suspended selected provisions of certain tax treaties; the result must be checked for the relevant jurisdiction and income type.
Our work connects tax analysis to the transaction documents, financing structure and payment route. We coordinate with foreign tax advisers and support clients in tax disputes.

Frequently asked questions
When should we involve legal counsel?
Before signing binding terms or transferring funds. Early review identifies ownership, approval, tax and payment issues that may change the structure.
What information should we provide first?
Please share a short description of the objective, the parties and ownership chain, the assets involved and the intended timetable. Sensitive documents can follow after conflict checks and confidentiality arrangements.
Can you work with our advisers abroad?
Yes. We coordinate the Russian workstream with your legal, tax and financial advisers and agree responsibilities at the start.
