The 6-7% tax rate is the corporate tax rate?

Any withholding tax on dividends sent abroad?

A limited liability company that has decided to use a simplified taxation system has a tax rate of 6%. Withdrawal of funds in the form of dividends is taxed at a rate of 13%.
Usually a company pays a corporate tax of 6%. After that it can transfer profits to an account (for example, Scottish offshore) for any services.
Separately, it must be said that an individual entrepreneur also pays 6% of income tax + 1% social contributions, after which all profits can be transferred to your personal account. This money is not subject to other taxes.

A very interesting and informative post. My impression is that Russia is difficult to deal with unless you or a friend can speak Russian, do you agree?

Yes, I agree with you that without friends and the Russian language in Russia it is difficult to do business. However, there are bonuses that are not available in other countries. You can buy land for farming cheaply, you can open a bank account with 5 banks in one day, you can easily fictitiously marry to get citizenship, you can bring a lot of cash to the bank, and the bank will not ask where this money comes from and much more.
