The regulator has set his sights on fighting entrepreneurs, which are the main scheme of tax evasion. For a start we are talking about transit, which allows the business to withdraw the desired amount in the offshore and save on taxes in Russia.
The Central Bank announced the beginning of the struggle with the people who use the scheme of capital flight abroad and tax evasion through transit operations. Experts estimate that the share of these illegal operations have at least 50%. In this regard, the regulator has decided that banks should pay excessive attention to transit operations customer and implore them confirming payment of taxes documents.
The information that credit institutions must pay special attention to similar operations, is a letter signed by the Deputy Chairman of the Bank of Russia Dmitry Skobelkina, notify "Izvestia". Note that the message of the Central Bank in fact have a normative character, and against the background of a campaign to revoke the licenses of banks reinforced the fear and multiplied the risk will help visitors to restructure taxes.
According to the Deputy Chairman of the state Duma Committee on economic market, the President of the Association of regional banks of Russia Anatoly Aksakov, transit operations by domestic banks account for more than 50% of all illegal money transactions. The total amount of the last 1.5 trillion rubles for 2013. According to some data, in 2014, the indicator remained at the same level.
Experts report that transit scheme is used by the domestic business for tax evasion. Under this scheme involved a specially designed company in Russia and offshore zones and 5, maybe 10 banks. Firms enter into a contract for the supply of machinery and equipment is the most popular example. Among other popular contracts for the provision of consulting services. In the contract overestimated in 10s or hundreds of times the amount that actually comes with the product, and the firm's income is derived from tax under cost. In order to conceal the fraudulent nature of the transaction, stakeholders involved in the whole scheme of the chain of legal entities and banks running through them funds.
In consequence of similar Russian company is in loss and does not pay income tax, which by law is 20%. But the Russian tax authorities have a fee, which vigorously communicate with owners, figuring out the cause of loss. Under this option you have to nominees and often change of legal entity - sustainable business will not build. In consequence, more domestic operating demonstrates not just the flow of funds, and is extremely small in relation to revenue, but steady profit.
All similar arrangements, the regulator described in the message. Management of the Central Bank pointed to a number of symptoms transit operations, which should cause banks to suspicion when servicing visitors.
