Ministry of Finance: the reasons for the EU decision to include Russia in the "black list" of tax jurisdictions are unclear

“The decision to include Russia on the list of non-cooperative jurisdictions, the so-called EU black list, was made without consultation with us.

We do not know the reasons for this decision,” the statement says.

It is noted that the presence of Russia in the "black list" means the right of EU members to apply administrative and legal measures to Russia.

Earlier, the European Union included Russia, the Virgin Islands, Costa Rica and the Marshall Islands in the list of tax haven countries.
