Foreign Donations to Russian Charities Held Tax Exempt

The Federal Arbitrazh Court for the Ural Circuit, acting as a third-instance court, held that foreign donations to Russian non-commercial organizations (NCOs) were tax-exempt. This is contrary to the position of the tax authorities that maintained that such donations should be taxed as regular commercial income in the hands of NCOs.
