Taxes and Taxation

Gidirim, V. A. Corporate ‘Residence’ Taxation in International Tax Law

Abstract: It is the first time in Russian theory of taxation and taxation law that someone provides a detailed description of a modern theory of residence used in developed tax systems of Western countries. We do not have such a conception in Russian taxation law, this is quite a gap in tax regulation of economic activities and provides numerous opportunities to avoid paying taxes. The Ministry of Finances of the Russian Federation has declared about the need in implementing this concept in the Tax Code of the Russian Federation as the ‘Fundamental Objectives of Taxation Policy in 2013 -2015’. In this regard, the article is of great interest for all who are interested in modern problems of international taxation policy. The author of the article analyzes not only conceptual grounds of tax residency of legal entities, but also summarizes judicial practice of different countries practicing this system of taxation. The author also provides critical commentary about adequacy of this conception in modern high-tech international economy and the epoch of e-commerce.
