 Three Legal Changes in May 2026 That Will Save Your Startup Money While everyone is watching oil and tariffs, ConsultantPlus has issued three amendments that directly hit the wallets of AI company founders. I've selected those that really affect operations. First — a bill has been introduced to the State Duma to repeal Article 15.5 of the Administrative Offenses Code. If passed, directors will no longer be fined for late tax returns and contribution calculations. For a startup where the founder doubles as CEO and accountant, that's one less reason for a sudden 5,000 ruble fine. Second — a precedent regarding EFS-1. A company submitted the form on time but forgot subsection 1.2. They sent it later — the Social Fund issued a fine. Courts sided with the business: if the main form was on time, the late submission is not fined. For AI companies automating HR records, this is an important signal: algorithms may err in details, but courts are already protecting. Third — a recent letter from the Federal Tax Service No. EA-36-3/3447@ dated April 28. The tax authority clarified how to fill out notifications about transitioning to the simplified tax system and changing the object of taxation after Law No. 104-FZ. If your startup is on the simplified system, incorrect form completion could cost you a tax period. The FTS clarification saves hours of rework.
