In Family Circle: Supreme Court Exempts Entrepreneur from Tax on Gifted Property

According to Pravo.ru, the Federal Tax Service assessed additional personal income tax against a businesswoman on non-residential premises gifted to her by her mother, on the grounds that the premises were used for business purposes. The Judicial Chamber on Economic Disputes overturned the tax authority’s decision, stating that a gift between relatives who are entrepreneurs cannot be considered a commercial transaction. The Supreme Court provided a clarification: the property changes owners but remains within the family circle; therefore, such a transaction does not generate any property gain.
