Russian President Vladimir Putin signed the federal law, according to which a criminal case on tax evasion can be terminated in case of payment of a fine or arrears. The law also reduces the statute of limitations for several types of economic crimes.
According to the amendments to art. 24, 144 and 148 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, a criminal case cannot be initiated, and an initiated criminal case must be terminated if the person accused of tax evasion has paid the fine in full.
Under articles on tax evasion (199 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), failure to fulfill the duties of a tax agent (199.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), concealment of funds or property of an organization or individual entrepreneur (199.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), the maximum terms in the form of imprisonment have been reduced to five years, under article on evasion of payment of insurance premiums (part 2 199.4 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) – up to three years.
According to the authors of the law, the amendments “will lead to a reduction in the statute of limitations for criminal liability.”
The news is being added.
