Why invest in Russia?
Ease of doing business
Setting up a business in Russia is pretty straightforward with an affordable cost for this procedure. According to the latest World Bank annual ratings, Russia was ranked 28th out of 190 economies in the world, in terms of ease of doing business. Additionally, an investor in particular industrial projects may receive significant government incentives and support, like tax benefits and subsidies on loans and leasing, which makes this prospect even more advantageous.
Attractive tax structure.
With the 18% VAT rate, 20% corporate income tax rate, and 13% rate imposed on personal income – Russian tax scheme is proved to be one of the most appealing for businesses. Moreover, Russia signed a series of double taxation treaties with countries worldwide in order to protect companies from paying double tax.
Lucrative investments opportunities.
There’re many solid industry fields in Russia, where international businesses can enjoy a stable environment and huge profits. Just to name a few of them: agriculture, IT, manufacturing, mining and extraction, oil and gas, tourism, real estate, construction, etc.
Large sales market with access to valuable resources.
Russia is and will always be one of the most important strategic markets for foreign investors. A population of 147 million people, fortunate geographic location, abundance of natural resources, talented workforce are one of the few major decision factors that encourage foreign companies to keep increasing their presence on the Russian market.

Even in the midst of a challenging economic environment worldwide and pandemic aftershocks, Russia manages to keep its leadership position of being a “superpower” economy. Being world’s 11th-largest economy by nominal GDP ($1.862 trillion), Russia presents ample opportunities for juicy profits among foreign investors.
Some of the key statistical figures showing the global power of Russian market are provided for your reference:

Tax system for foreign companies
Russian taxes are regulated by the Russian Tax Code and are imposed on various criteria. Below we gathered some of the most crucial tax information to be considered before setting up a business in Russia.
- Corporate tax
- Profit tax
- Value added tax
- Withholding tax
Corporate tax
Russian corporate tax is 20% and is split as follows: 3% of revenues is allocated to the federal budget, whereas 17% is allocated to the budgets of the relevant constituent regions (regional administration may reduce such allocation to 13.5%). Capital gains are taxed at the full rate of 20%. Foreign legal entities pay tax on Russia-source income derived through a permanent establishment at the standard 20% rate.
Profit tax
A very important factor to keep in mind is that foreign companies in Russia are subject to profit tax only if they have registered offices in the country, otherwise their profits are not taxed. Withholding taxes (from 10% to 20%, depending on the type of income and the calculation method) are applied to foreign companies making profits in Russia, if the profits come from other sources than the permanent establishment. These companies must also register for VAT in Russia under specific circumstances.
Value added tax (VAT):
The value added tax (VAT) in Russia is levied at a standard rate of 20% for imported goods or services, but reduced rates can also apply. A reduced VAT rate of 10% is applied to foods, medical products and printed materials. Financial services, education, cultural services and some medical services are exempt from paying VAT.
Withholding tax:
Withholding taxes are applied as follows, but may be lower as part of a double taxation treaty: dividends that are taxed at 15% for foreign companies; interests that are taxed with 0% for inland payments and 20% for countries that do not have double taxation treaties with Russia; freight expenses are taxed 10% for payers with no establishment in Russia; royalties are taxed with 20% for countries that do not have double taxation treaties with Russia; foreign companies must pay 20% of their earnings made from other sources in Russia.
