 Legal Digest: What Changed This Week While everyone is watching exchange rates and AI news, legislation is not sleeping. I've analyzed the latest changes and court decisions — here's what will really affect business: ️ Labor disputes: employer loses Cassation refused the company to recover costs for advanced training from an employee who resigned early. The court indicated: the employer did not prove that the training was directly related to the work. A student contract is not a guarantee if the course is formal. Tip: tie training programs to specific job responsibilities. VAT in rent: important precedent The landlord changed tax status (municipal unitary enterprise → institution) and demanded additional VAT payment. The court sided with the tenant — including VAT in the price was deemed illegal. If your landlord changes status, you are not obliged to pay beyond the contract. Marketplaces: new regulation From October 1, 2026 — a register of intermediary digital platforms. The Ministry of Economic Development will include platforms based on the owner's application or government data. If you work through marketplaces, ensure the platform is in the register. Number portability: now across Russia From September 1, 2026, you can transfer a number between operators in any region, not just within one. Convenient for businesses with federal numbers. ️ Import of mining equipment: restrictions from July From July 1, 2026 — a ban on purchasing imported conveyors, crushers, mills for state needs. If your business is related to mining, it's time to look for Russian analogues. Economic forecast until 2029 The Ministry of Economic Development published scenario conditions: baseline and conservative options. Inflation, producer prices, deflators — all figures are publicly available. Useful for financial planning. Which of these points is relevant to your business? Write in the comments — we'll analyze the details. #legaldigest #legislation #business #taxlaw #labourlaw
