Tax monitoring is form of tax administration and control that is new to Russia and based on the principles of transparency and trust between taxpayers and tax authorities. It replaces traditional audits with online interaction based on report access to the taxpayer’s information systems.
As of 2019, more than 40 major companies have already transferred to tax monitoring, 18 of them this year. Tax monitoring implies additional opportunities and advantages for participants, including:
– the company not having to undergo field and in-office tax audits;
– rapid period closing from the perspective of tax audits;
– an opportunity to receive “reasoned opinions” from the tax authority on matters of dispute relating to taxation of completed and future operations of the company, which, if followed, will release the company from fines and penalties.
Current participants in the tax monitoring system and representatives of the FTS of Russia in charge of the given sphere of FTS work will, as part of the presentation session, present and discuss the following topics:
– The key difference between tax monitoring and other forms of tax administration. What are the advantages for the taxpayer and the tax authority?
– How to prepare for participating in tax monitoring and how fast can the transfer to it be? What are the readiness criteria?
– Typical difficulties encountered by companies in preparing to transfer to tax monitoring
– Prospects for further improvement of the legislation on tax monitoring

The modern industrial policy of a metropolis consists of a broad concept that goes beyond the strategy of improving the competitiveness of individual companies and sectors.
The government views creation and support of specialized industrial infrastructure in a metropolis as the main catalyst of a city, which enables enterprises and people to acquire new opportunities to accelerate growth and socioeconomic development. In addition to expanding the capabilities of the innovative technological ecosystem through a number of targeted strategic initiatives and a standard set of benefits, special economic zones and technology parks need to take into account the importance of such factors as the availability of the required engineering infrastructure, a potential sales market, raw materials, labour resources and logistics. How do you create the largest research base in a city and transform the results of innovative research into advanced market products and solutions? How do you ensure success in commercializing the innovations of partner companies and developing their markets locally and internationally? What measures should be taken to attract high-level specialists and provide a comfortable environment to work and live in?
Discussion topics:
– Industrial growth strategy. Enhancing competitiveness and promoting innovation through industrial policy
– Sustainable urban development and economic performance. Are benefits a form of lost profit or tax revenue from investments attracted in the future?
– Industry specialization and manufacturing formats in metropolises
– The role of industrial infrastructure in solving social problems
– Infrastructure solutions and the legal framework. What can help ensure the inflow of investors and capital?
– Business expectations and demand. What requirements do residents have?
– Development of urban industrial sites and special economic zones. Global trends

The countries of Eurasia are actively applying existing and developing new trade, legal, and technological tools for deepening their economic integration. Successful economic co-operation is based on trust in people. Common social, cultural and scientific perceptions smooth out existing disagreements and form the foundation for mutually-beneficial integration in spheres of common interest. Trust in the national economies of Eurasia manifested through trust in people might trigger creation of economic values, bring them benefits from synergy and become their crucial competitive advantage within the global economy.
What values unite the peoples of Eurasia? How can trust in people make the transition rationally to national economies? What could the institutes of civil society do to create an atmosphere of trust between business and authorities?
