Налоговая инспекция усилила контроль за соблюдением валютного законодательства
Налоговая инспекция активизировала мониторинг соблюдения валютного законодательства, уделяя особое внимание требованиям по репатриации денежных средств и управлению действующими и незакрытыми контрактами, зарегистрированными в валютном контроле банка.
Основные риски для бизнеса:
• Штрафы в размере 75–100 процентов от суммы, не полученной от нерезидента
• Возможная дисквалификация генерального директора при серьезных нарушениях
• Риск юридической ответственности, включая уголовное преследование, в случае значительных нарушений.
Для снижения финансовых и регуляторных рисков компаниям рекомендуется проверить свои процессы на соответствие требованиям и принять упреждающие меры. Соблюдение законодательства поможет защитить бизнес и его руководство.

The Tax Inspectorate Increases Oversight of Currency Control Compliance
The tax inspectorate has intensified its monitoring of currency control regulations, placing greater emphasis on fund repatriation requirements and the management of active and unclosed contracts registered with bank currency control.
Key considerations for businesses:
• Fines ranging from 75 to 100 percent of unpaid amounts from non-residents
• Potential disqualification of the CEO in cases of significant violations
• Risk of legal consequences, including criminal liability, for severe non-compliance.
To minimize financial and regulatory risks, businesses should review their compliance processes and take proactive measures where necessary. Ensuring adherence to these requirements will help safeguard both the company and its leadership.

Avoid Penalties! New Reporting Rules for Russian Companies
Starting March 1st, new requirements apply to statistical report submissions via authorized representatives. Only a machine-readable power of attorney (MRPoA) will be accepted—paper-based authorizations are no longer valid. No changes for reports signed with the General Director’s electronic signature.
If your reports are submitted by an authorized representative, ensure the following:
✔ The representative has a valid MRPoA.
✔ Their personal electronic signature is valid.
✔ If no MRPoA has been issued, sign one with the General Director’s valid electronic signature and upload it to the tax authorities registry or via Kontur.Attorney.
For technical assistance, contact us for detailed instructions.
Penalties for Non-Compliance (Article 13.19 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation):
✔ General Director: for up to RUB 50K (approx. EUR 500).
✔ Company: for up to RUB 150K (approx. EUR 1 500).
Stay compliant to avoid fines!

Новые правила подачи статистической отчетности и штрафные санкции
С 1 марта вступают в силу новые требования к подаче статистической отчетности через уполномоченных представителей. Теперь принимается только машиночитаемая доверенность (МЧД) — бумажные доверенности больше не действительны.
Без изменений остается порядок подачи отчетов с электронной подписью Генерального директора.
Если отчет подается через уполномоченного представителя, убедитесь что:
✔ У него есть действующая МЧД.
✔ Его личная электронная подпись действительна.
✔ Если МЧД не оформлялась ранее, ее необходимо подписать действующей электронной подписью Генерального директора и загрузить в реестр налоговой службы или через Контур.Доверенность.
При технических сложностях свяжитесь с нами и мы направим Вам инструкцию.
Штрафные санкции (ст. 13.19 КоАП РФ):
✔ Генеральный директор — до 50 000 руб.
✔ Компания — до 150 000 руб.
