 ️ Legal Digest: What Changed in May 2026 I've reviewed recent court decisions and new documents — several things deserve the attention of entrepreneurs. 1. **VAT: Deduction after 3+ years — possible** The court allowed a tax agent to apply a VAT deduction for a transaction with a foreign company for 2020, even though the declaration was filed in Q1 2024. The courts sided with the taxpayer. A good precedent for those who are afraid to claim "overdue" deductions. 2. **Rosreestr: Extracts from the Unified State Register of Real Estate — more time to pay** From May 16, the payment deadline for extracts increases from 7 to 14 calendar days. A small thing, but for those who regularly order extracts, it reduces the risk of technical delays. 3. **Rostrud: Holidays count toward the probationary period** Non-working public holidays are now officially included in the probationary period. If an employee is hired on April 28 and the May holidays "eat up" a week, the employer can extend the probation by those days. 4. **Platform Economy: New powers for Roskomnadzor** The government approved rules under which Roskomnadzor will apply measures to foreign operators of digital platforms. If your business uses foreign platforms, keep an eye on the changes. 5. **Company Reorganization: Creditor Protection** The Ministry of Justice is preparing amendments to the Civil Code of the Russian Federation: if a reorganization threatens the fulfillment of obligations to a creditor, the creditor can demand security. A serious tool for protecting rights. Subscribe to not miss legal changes that really affect business → https://asibiont.com/
