Authorities and business are preparing a document that will distinguish between labor and non-labor relationships, reports 'Vedomosti'. The document is planned to be ready by September 1, according to three sources cited by 'Vedomosti'.
Consensus
- Russian authorities and business are preparing a document by September 1 regarding the distinction between labor and non-labor relations.
- The document will address platform work, self-employment, individual entrepreneurs (IP), civil law contracts (GPH), and outsourcing.
- Federal Tax Service (FTS), Ministry of Labor (Mintrud), Rostруд, Ministry of Economic Development (MinEkonomrazvitiya), and business representatives are involved in the preparation.
- The lack of a unified approach by regulatory bodies leads to confusion and tax disputes.
- There is concern that companies may face tax reassessments due to inconsistent interpretations.
