For the past eight years, I have been requalifying each year. When your 183
days are up, you get your 17% differential credited back so that you are
effectively paying the 13% throughout the year.

We had a meeting with PWC yesterday and their 'experts' told us something
interesting.
They said that when a foreign worker works in Russia s/he has to requalify for
the 183 day rule every year [30% down to 13% income tax] and if they leave
Russia before completing 183 days in the year, [ even if they are tax resident
from previous years] they will have to pay the missing 17% tax from that
year???
This is not what we understand but we are not tax experts. We believed that
once you have done the 183 days and got your residency, then that was it for
the rest of your time in Russia. there was no 'requalifying period' each year.
Anyone on the list with any real expertise or experience on this matter?
