2009 Russia Tax Survey Russia’s tax regime and administrative system continue to develop and evolve. Concurrently, a fall in corporate earnings and related tax revenues has increased the pressure on the tax authorities to meet state revenue goals. As a result, we continue to see a climate of tension between taxpayers and the tax authorities.
Opportunities in adversity. Accelerating the change The past few months have seen enormous efforts from governments and management teams around the world to stabilize and re-direct the global economy. Evidence suggests that the fall has slowed: but whether the next direction is up or further down is still not clear. Our new survey findings show that the speed of our recovery depends on the actions we take over the coming weeks and months.

Opportunities in adversity - responding to the crisis We surveyed more than 300 board members of international corporates on how the downturn had impacted their strategic objectives and the way they do business.
Why are some companies luckier than others? Market-leading businesses don’t rely on luck to achieve their potential. They carve out success for themselves, taking control of their direction and leaving nothing to chance. We have gained insight into the factors that distinguish them from other successful companies. The insights captured in Ernst & Young’s Exceptional Enterprise model will help you benchmark your company against today’s leading growth companies and tomorrow’s market leaders. | | Worldwide fiscal stimulus — tax policy plays a major role Governments around the world are fighting the first global recession we've experienced since World War II, and tax measures are playing a major part - 56%, according to recent OECD figures - in the range of stimulus packages being rolled out globally.

Opportunities in adversity At Ernst & Young, we are interested in understanding how companies are reacting to the current crisis and learning from their experience and best practice. Uncertainty cannot be allowed to become inaction, performance is relative, a risk is an opportunity that has not yet been exploited. Whatever a company's position in the current economic climate - from cash-rich to deeply distressed - there is now a great need for decisive management action. There is opportunity in the adversity of the worst of markets. Find that opportunity right now.
