A new procedure for tax registration of foreign citizens and stateless persons comes into effect in Russia on March 1, 2026. The Federal Tax Service (FTS) has registered the corresponding order No. ED-7-14/728@, which introduces special administrative procedures for this category of taxpayers.
A key change is the abolition of the paper certificate of tax registration. The confirming document will now be an electronic extract from the Unified State Register of Taxpayers (USRTP).
The FTS order aims to unify and streamline the registration of foreign individuals.
