Добрый день! Банк требует для оформления паспорта сделки чтобы в контракте с RIPE была жестко прописана стоимость услуг (которая как известно меняется от года к году и от скоринга). Как быть? -- С Уважением, Максим Тульев (MT6561-RIPE, 2:463/253@FIDO)

Dear Jochem, since the question about certified copy of the residence confirmation is interesting to me and some others as far as i know, I've made a translation of your e-mail so that the information could be more clearly understood by people doing agreement with the RIPE NCC here. Thanks for your report, it was really interesting although not entirely indisputable concerning certified copy, I'm afraid :) Добрый день! Привожу ниже перевод письма Jochem de Ruig, присланного в ответ на запрос Александра Крылова (Центртелеком) о необходимости получения от RIPE NCC документа о местонахождении RIPE NCC в Нидерландах, заверенного компетентным органом Нидерландов. В случае непредоставления документа, пишет Александр, Цетртелеком вынужден будет уменьшить сумму оплаты по счету RIPE NCC на сумму, соответствующую налогу на прибыль 20%, в соответствии со статьей 284, п.2 ( Налоговые ставки на доходы иностранных организаций, не связанные с деятельностью в Российской Федерации через постоянное представительство). With respect, Larisa Yurkina --- RIPN Registry center ----- ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 11 Oct 2005 18:12:54 +0200 From: Jochem de Ruig <jochem(a)ripe.net> To: "[iso-8859-1] йПШКНБ[iso-8859-1] ю . [iso-8859-1] б ." <krylov(a)centertelecom.ru>, regional-russia(a)ripe.net Subject: Re: [regional-russia] CENTERTELECOM Уважаемые коллеги, произошла задержка с ответом, поскольку я должен был проконсультироваться с нашими юристами, специализирующимися на Российском законодательстве. На Ваш запрос могу сообщить следующее: Как мне сообщили, налог на прибыль с иностранных организаций взимается в двух случаях (Налоговый Кодекс РФ, статья 247) - если иностранная организация осуществляет деятельность в Российской Федерации через постоянное представительство, - если иностранная организация получает доходы от источников в Российской Федерации. RIPE NCC не имеет постоянного представительства в РФ, поскольку "физически" не присутствует в РФ. Все услуги предоставляются из офисов RIPE NCC в Амстердаме. Таким образом, остается налог на прибыль в отношении доходов от источников в Российской Федерации. В статье 309 НК РФ перечислены виды "пассивного" дохода ("passive" income) или дохода каким-либо образом связанного с тем, что является территориально Российским источником, используемым иностранной организацией, и поэтому подлежащего налогообложению в РФ. Поскольку доход RIPE NCC извлекается из услуг, физически реализуемых в Нидерландах, RIPE NCC не попадает в эту категорию, вследствие чего оплата услуг не облагается налогом в РФ и нет необходимости извлекать 20% налог при оплате наших услуг. Все это следует из Российского законодательства как такового (from Russian domestic legislation), без привлечения Соглашения об избежании двойного налогообложения между РФ и Нидерландами. Поэтому мы считаем, что нет необходимости (there is no need) предоставлять Российским налоговым органам заверенную копию документа о местонахождении RIPE NCC на территории Нидерландов (a certified copy of the residence confirmation). Мы понимаем, что этот документ может быть Вам необходим для внутреннего употребления (internal use), поэтому можем предоставить электронную копию документа. В даное время мы работаем над созданием сервиса для Российских клиентов (on-line fact sheet), можем поместить данный документ в Интернете, если в этом есть необходимость.

And here is the official letter sent by our Accounting Department to RIPE NCC: Dear Sirs! OJSC "CenterTelecom" sent You the fax № 08-15/219 dated August 24, 2005 with the request to provide the document, which confirms the permanent residence of RIPE NCC on the territory of the Netherlands, besides that You were informed about the procedure of issuing and certification of the corresponding document authenticity by the competent bodies. However, in response to our fax You have submitted the documents in the form of uncertified copies, so the documents drawn up this way don't comply with the Russian Federation tax authorities requirements, and can't give occasion to the application of the Agreement on Double Taxation Avoidance. We kindly request You to inform us as soon as possible if this document will be filed to us certified by the competent body of the Netherlands and if it will be sealed with appostille. We would like to inform You once again that if You don't send us in the near future the document, confirming the residence of RIPE NCC, drawn up in the proper way, than in order to avoid the tax risks, OJSC "CenterTelecom" as a Fiscal Agent will have to deduct income tax equal to the rate set in item 2 Article 284 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation (in this case the rate is 20%), so You will receive the income less income tax. Attachment: letter №08-15/219 dated August 24, 2005. Yours sincerely, First Deputy General Director- Financial Director А.А. Lokotkov Chief Accountant R.P.
