The amendments under consideration shall allow Russian taxpayers not to withhold corporate income tax (or to withhold it at a reduced rate) upon distributing interest income to the legal entities associated with unfriendly states, namely to the export credit agencies and banks, if the similar provision was stipulated by the relevant clause of the DTT which has been suspended by Presidential Decree No. 585 of 08.08.2023. Such amendments shall be applicable as of the 08.08.2023.
