Analysed and optimised documents relating to the promotion of pharmaceutical products

Further to the client’s request, the lawyers of the practice area analysed a vast volume of various documents on services involving the promotion of pharmaceutical products on the Russian market and compared their content with the court practice and position of the tax authorities on whether such services are subject to VAT. The team's goal was to provide recommendations to the client on how to optimise the documents and their wording with a view to mitigating VAT risks (in terms of such services being classified as marketing, information or consulting services).

The project allowed for the tax risks to be mitigated with respect to the company’s subsequent activity of promoting pharmaceutical products on the market.
