Dear readers,
We are happy to welcome you in the pages of our seasonal in-house journal
“Korpus Prava.Analytics”. Traditionally, the winter issue highlights interesting topics and major changes in legislation, which are relevant in the new year.
Every year the tax authorities introduce new tools and control measures, striving for transparency and meaningfulness. One of such tools is the international automatic exchange of financial information with the competent authorities of foreign countries (CRS-exchange). The senior lawyer Anna Senchenko in her article explains in detail the way it works.
In 2018, it became clear that the “digital era” had begun in the economy. So, in the process of preparing for any transaction, you can find out information about the activities of the counterparty, using one of the information databases. What kind of information can be obtained through such databases, as well as other nuances, is revealed in the pages of our new issue.
Great attention was paid to the issue of counterparty verification in Hong Kong, since in 2018 Hong Kong companies providing corporate services became licensed, which implies compliance with the relevant legislation in force. What are the main functions of he Compliance Department, and what is included in the integrated assessment of clients — these and many other questions are highlighted in the article of our compliance-officer Irina Otrokhova.
In addition, in the pages of the magazine you will find interesting information about the amendments to the Inheritance Fund through the example of Alfred Nobel’s testament, and also learn about current changes in legislation in 2019.
We hope that the materials we have prepared will be useful for you. Our experts are always happy to reply to your questions, comments and offers.
Enjoy reading!
