Obtaining a Representative Office in Russia > 자유게시판

The first step in establishing a representative office in Russia is to decide the purpose and scope of the office. This includes identifying the type of activities that the office will engage, its site, and the organization of the organization.

Once these details have been confirmed, the next step is to select a name for the representative office that follows Russia's company registration regulations. The name must be unique and not alike to any existing Russian company.

In addition, the applicant must acquire a tax identification number, known as an INN, which is a specific identifier assigned to the representative office for tax purposes. This step involves enrolling with the Russian Tax Authority, known as the Federal Tax Service.

The applicant must also secure a Unified State Register of Legal Entities (USRLE) code, which is a specific identifier assigned to the representative office for registration purposes.

Another important step is to draft an agreement between the local representative and the parent company that defines the relationship between the two organizations, details their responsibilities and obligations, and covers the payment of services and costs.

To enroll a representative office in Russia, the applicant must present an application to the Federal Service for State Registration, Cadastre and Cartography along with the necessary documents, including the articles of association, the agreement between the local representative and the parent company, and proof of the parent company's registration with a foreign registry.

The Federal Service for State Registration, Cadastre and Cartography will confirm the submitted documents, check the parent company's registration with foreign registries, and ensure that all required tax and registration formalities have been completed.

Once the application is approved the representative office will be registered and the applicant will receive a state registration certificate.

It is also crucial to obtain the required authorizations and permissions to conduct business in Russia, including any permits or necessary for specific activities.

Additionally, it is strongly advised that you engage with local professionals, such as lawyers, accountants, or other service providers, with experience in Russian law to advise you through the registration process and make sure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

Upon completion of the registration process, the representative office will be registered and can start conducting business in Russia.
