Ceasing your tax residency in Russia can be a significant step in your personal or professional life. This guide will help you navigate the process smoothly and ensure you meet all legal requirements.
Determine Eligibility
To cease your tax residency in Russia, you must spend less than 183 days in the country within a calendar year. Track your presence meticulously to ensure you meet this requirement.
Notify Tax Authorities
Once you have determined your eligibility, you need to notify the Federal Tax Service (FTS) of your intention to cease tax residency. This is done by submitting a formal written notice.
Submit Required Documentation
Prepare and submit all necessary documentation to the FTS, including your passport, visa information, and any documents that prove your time spent outside of Russia.
Await Confirmation
After submitting your documents, the FTS will review your case. This may take some time, so be prepared for a waiting period. You will receive a confirmation once your tax residency status is officially ceased.
Update Financial Records
Ensure that all your financial records are updated to reflect your change in tax residency. This includes informing your bank, employer, and any other relevant financial institutions.
