OREANDA-NEWS  The Russian Ministry of Finance has proposed to introduce tax price controls on the import of goods from the EAEU, according to materials on the ministry's website.

On Thursday, the government approved amendments to the second reading of the budget package for 2027-2029, which relate, among other things, to the implementation of the main directions of tax policy.

"As part of the implementation of the plan to whitewash the economy, it is proposed to introduce tax control over prices when importing goods from the EAEU countries," the Ministry of Finance reports.

Currently, when importing goods from the EAEU countries, there is no customs clearance, declarations are not required, and VAT is calculated from the prices specified in the contracts.

At the same time, transactions between counterparties from different EAEU countries are considered cross–border, and prices in such agreements fall under tax control only if their participants are interdependent persons, or if these are large transactions.
