Registration of a Foreign Company in Russia and Choice of Tax Regime
A foreign company has decided to enter the Russian market — where to start?
Dozens of business support mechanisms operate in Russia. Corporate income tax incentives, exemption from corporate property tax, government support programs, special conditions for residents of Special Economic Zones (SEZs) (Free Economic Zones (FEZs)) and Territories of Advanced Socio-Economic Development (TASEDs) — all this allows foreign companies to build flexible and effective business models.
What forms of presence are available, what tax regimes can be chosen, and how to enter the Russian market systematically and with a perspective for growth.
Liability for Defects Identified During the Project Implementation Stage
When defects are identified during the project implementation stage, the key issue becomes determining who is responsible for them. Unlike everyday disputes, where identifying the responsible party is simpler, construction projects involve several participants, each responsible for their own scope of work.
The designer is responsible for the accuracy of the design documentation. Even if the documentation has undergone expert review and received a positive conclusion, this does not exempt the designer from subsequent liability. If errors in calculations, inconsistencies in drawings, or violations of technical regulations are discovered during construction, the designer must revise the documentation and compensate the customer for damages.

Violation of Deadlines and Phasing of Design Works
In accordance with the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the condition on deadlines for performing design works is mandatory: the contract must specify the start date, the final date, and intermediate stages.
The Urban Planning Code of the Russian Federation establishes the staged nature of preparation of design documentation and the mandatory nature of its expert review.
In state and municipal contracts, deadlines are always classified as essential terms; their modification is possible only in cases expressly provided for by Federal Law No. 44-Federal Law and Federal Law No. 223-Federal Law.
Who bears liability for violation of deadlines and what consequences await the parties to the contract are examined in this article.
