ON QUESTION OF ESTABLISHING THE TAX OF INTERNET-SHOPPING IN RUSSIA
DescriptionCurrently, there is a topical question of legal consolidation in the tax and the customs legislations of the fee for goods purchased from a foreign company through a transaction concluded by the information and telecommunications network "Internet".

Their immediate implementation without significant changes will not create a proper mechanism for the implementation of this institution, and generate a lot of conflict situations
