Special DTT between Russia and United Arab Emirates

January 2012

Pepeliaev Group advises that on 7.12.2011 the Double Tax Treaty between Russian government and the Government of United Arab Emirates was signed in Abu Dhabi. This DTT is very unusual because it isn’t based on the OECD Model Tax Convention on Income and on Capital and tax benefits would be applied only by government’s offices of the both countries.

Public-Private Partnerships in Russia: A Time to Change

There was a milestone event in Saint-Petersburg in the beginning of 2012. A school offering general education for 285 students was opened in the city on the river Neva. It is the first public facility to be constructed by investors under a public-private partnership (PPP). The key feature of using a PPP to build social infrastructure is that the investor is responsible for construction and the subsequent operation of the facility for the period laid down in the agreement. However, this type of cooperation in Russia is still quite rare.
