As the RF Ministry of Finance had managed to ensure the timely preparation of alterations to tax legislation whereby the rates of export customs duties on hydrocarbons are to be reduced, and the rates of Mineral Extraction Tax increased, the Draft Budget was composed with those alterations being taken into consideration1. The RF Supreme Arbitration Court continued to methodologically clarify the application of tax legislation by Russia’s judicial system, which would make it possible to improve the quality of judicial decisions and to reduce the number of errors in lawsuit consideration in courts of first instance.
