Mikhail Orlov: “Taxes cannot exist outside of dispute and discussion”
In recent years, the consulting market in Russia has experienced what is commonly called “fire, water and copper pipes”. On the one hand, the departure of foreign owners with their big names, a complete restructuring of the work and partly the business model. On the other hand, there are clients with completely new challenges and issues that require prompt and accurate work of consultants. Changes in tax legislation in recent years have forced businesses to abandon the launch of large-scale projects and long-term investments, said in an interview with Vedomosti partner Kept and Chairman of the Expert Council on tax and customs legislation of the Duma Committee on budget and taxes Mikhail Orlov. In the market, he is known as a man with a unique experience of legislative and “field” work, a lively sharp mind and a recognizable sense of humor.
