Eduard Giulbasarov spoke about tax aspects of losses from shortages.

He also cited several court judgements as examples to talk about documentary evidence for deductible expenses.

The Russian Retail Week is a key platform for discussion of retail trends, government approaches to shaping the retail market and industry-specific problems. The forum brings together public officials, management of top outlet chains, manufacturers, suppliers, bankers, retail analysts and experts.
