Also during 2022, organizations that pay monthly advance payments within a quarter can switch to paying them based on actual profit. This can be done starting from the reporting period of three months, four months, and so on until the end of the calendar year.

If a Russian company is forgiven a debt under a loan agreement concluded before March 1, 2022 with a foreign company or foreign citizen, it is not necessary to take into account the amount of such loan in the tax base for corporate profit tax.
For 2022 and 2023, special rules have been established for calculating the maximum amount of interest that can be taken into account in expenses on controlled debt that arose before March 1, 2022:
- the amount of debt in foreign currency must be determined at the exchange rate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation as of the last reporting date of the reporting or tax period. At the same time, it should not exceed the value as of February 1, 2022;
- for the last day of the period, equity capital is calculated without taking into account exchange rate differences that may arise due to the exchange rate difference compared to the indicator as of February 1, 2022.
For exchange rate gains that arose in 2022–2024, and negative ones that arose in 2023–2024, a special procedure has been established: they must be recognized in income and expenses on the date of termination or fulfillment of a claim or obligation.
For positive differences, this rule was extended to legal relations from January 1, 2022, and for negative differences, it will come into force only from January 1, 2023.
