Abstract: The subject of the research is the development of taxable bases as part of dealings concluded with subsidiary economic entities of trans-national companies about intangible assets. The aim of the research is to develop recommendations on how to manage the development of taxable bases in intangible assets dealings concluded by trans-national companies in order to prevent international profit shifting and base erosion as well as to solve an important economic task of preservation of Russia's taxable base under the conditions of international tax competition. Within the framework of the research, Ardashev has applied the method of observation over practical implementation of rules that regulate taxable base development. He has also compared particular aspects of national rules with their foreign compatibles and has used other general-logic methods. Ardashev has also carried out empirical research of data collected from public sources. The novelty of the research is caused by the fact that the author raises the problem of regulating taxable base development in the structures of trans-national companies. He offers recommendations on how to choose formal and essential approaches to such regulation. This has been done based on the example of intangible assets dealings because these are the most difficult dealings when it comes to pricing based on the arm's length principle. The researcher also describes grounds for the distribution of the legislative pricing practice and creation of 'safe harbors' to non-intangible assets dealings concluded by trans-national companies. 

Abstract: This is a nettlesome issue about the tax regulation of the development of tax base in transnational companies. Information asymmetry is an essential factor that significantly affects the process of tax regulation. This category is peculiar for economy in general but not specific for particular national economy, however, the cause of specifics of tax regulation is in many ways conditioned by the attempts to eliminate drawbacks of the information available. In this article Ardashev analyzes the problem of information asymmetry in tax relations as well as the means of eliminating its consequences in the process of regulating the development of tax bases in groups of companies. Ardashev also gives practical recommendations on how to advance the rules that regulate transfer pricing in Russia. Within the framework of the research, the author has applied the observation method to trace back the process of using the rules that regulate the development of tax bases, the comparison method to cmpare particular aspects of national rules, and general logical methods. The novelty of the research is caused by the fact that the author defines the influence of information asymmetry on tax relations and rules that regulate the development of tax bases in trans-national companies as well as the rules regulating the issues of transfer pricing. Ardashev also gives evaluation of whether it is possible to eliminate the drawbacks of information and describes possible consequences thereof. He also offers a classification of the methods that can be used to cushion the consequences of incomplete information and proves that the quantity and quality of available information significantly affect the final form of the rules themselves.
