Possession and sale of real estate properties

Almost all owners of expensive real estate show in front of their accountants the same problem: on the one hand, to minimize the tax on property and income taxes, on the other hand, the maximum protection of assets..

You can, for example, receive property by a foreign company, but this scheme ownership is ineffective in terms of tax optimization and extremely inadequate for recipients. Alternatively, you can make an estate to a Russian company, whose shares will be owned by an offshore company. This scheme is also destined to fail because it does not allow the use USN, and you have a tax of 15% in case of payment of dividends offshore.
