Expert’s opinion

The toughening of tax measure is working, and there it is impossible to deny it. Numbers are speaking for themselves. Last year Federal Law from 28.06.2013 №134-FZ amended Criminal Code of Russian Federation, in particular, art. 193 “Evasion from the performance of duty of repatriation of money in foreign currency or in currency of Russian Federation” and also art. 193.1 “Use of fake documents in currency transaction of transferring funds in foreign currency or currency of the Russian Federation to non-resident accounts”. Legal ground for the criminal responsibility were created, therefore there is no surprise in the results gained. In new reality we should act professionally, correct and legally – and here only experienced lawyers can help you
