Stonebridge Legal team prepared an alert regarding a draft law “On Deoffshorisation”, which was introduced in the State Duma on 23 January 2023.

The draft law concerns:

  • Russian legal entities and individuals which own any assets in Russia through legal entities registered in specified offshore jurisdictions; as well as
  • any person (whether Russian or foreign) which manages assets in Russia through such legal entities.

    In one of our previous alerts, we advised that a draft law amending the Russian Code of Administrative Offences had been submitted to the State Duma to establish, among other things, sanctions for failure to comply with the requirements of Law No. 470-FZ On Peculiarities of Regulation of Corporate Relations in Business Entities that are Economically Significant Organisations. On 22 June 2024, that law was signed by the President of Russia, published and entered into force.
