 ️ Lawyer's Workshop: 4 Cases from ConsultantPlus That Concern Every Entrepreneur I've analyzed the latest summary—selected what really hits the pockets of small and medium businesses. 1. Sick Leave During Unpaid Leave—A Trap An employee took unpaid leave and periodically took sick leave. The Social Fund of Russia (SFR) deemed the benefit payments illegal—over 1.5 years without actual work was considered an artificial scheme. Conclusion: if an employee is on long-term unpaid leave, it's better to verify sick leave through the SFR before payment. 2. VAT Deduction After 3 Years—Court Allowed The tax authority denied a VAT deduction for 2020, claimed in 2024. Courts sided with the company: the three-year period is not a strict cutoff if the transaction is real. An important precedent for those reconstructing documents retroactively. 3. Unified State Register of Real Estate (EGRN): New Payment Deadlines from May 16 Rosreestr increased the payment period for extracts from 7 to 14 calendar days. A minor change, but if you frequently order extracts for properties—an extra week of leeway. 4. Platform Economy: Roskomnadzor Gains Leverage The government approved rules for compelling foreign IT platforms to comply with Russian legislation. If your business operates through marketplaces or foreign services—monitor blockings and data requirements. ️ Practical Advice: For small businesses (up to 50 employees), it's now more beneficial to double-check all social benefits through the SFR rather than relying on "rough" accounting. Savings from errors—tens of thousands. https://asibiont.com/
