Reporting foreign bank accounts

Russian residents are required to notify the Federal Tax Service (FNS) about opening or closing foreign bank accounts within one month. Failure to do so can result in a fine, which historically had a maximum of 5,000 rubles. Notification can be submitted online via the FNS personal account using an Enhanced Unqualified Electronic Signature (UNEP), which can be generated directly on the Gosuslugi website or app. It is not necessary to visit a tax office or Sberbank in person if UNEP is available.

Russian citizens are legally obligated to report the opening of bank accounts or cards in Kyrgyzstan to the Federal Tax Service (FNS) in Russia, regardless of the balance. Failure to comply may result in fines. However, some individuals report not facing consequences for non-reporting over several years.

Russian tax residents (spending 183+ days per year in Russia) must report opening foreign bank accounts to the Federal Tax Service (FNS). If residency status is lost (spending < 183 days abroad), the obligation to report is suspended, but upon returning to tax residency in Russia, disclosure of all foreign accounts is mandatory. Accounts in the EAEU or countries with automatic information exchange are exempt from transaction reporting if annual deposits do not exceed 600,000 RUB.

Russian citizens are obligated to notify tax authorities about opening or closing foreign bank accounts. Failure to do so can result in fines. While there's an exemption from annual reporting for account turnover below 600,000 RUB, tax authorities may still request account statements. It is advisable to comply with all reporting requirements to avoid legal issues.

Russian residents must notify tax authorities within 30 days of opening a foreign bank account. Reporting of annual fund movements is mandatory if the annual turnover on the account exceeds 600,000 RUB. Accounts in EAEU countries are subject to these rules unless specific exemptions apply.
