A foreigner working in Russia is subject to payment of profit tax. The tax
rate depends upon whether a foreigner is a tax resident of the Russian
Federation or not. If a foreign citizen is a tax resident of the RF (which
presumes that he shall stay on RF territory for more than 183 days in a calendar
year), then the tax rate will be 13%, and in case he is not а tax resident of
the RF, then the tax rate will be equal to 30%.
The Russian Federation has signed the treaties on the elimination of double
taxation with more than 62 states:
Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Algeria, Argentina, Armenia, Belarus, Belgium,
Bulgaria, Canada, China, Croatia, Cuba, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Egypt, Estonia,
