The Russian Government Has Published Support Measures for Businesses Affected by UAV Attacks on Wildberries
On 25 August, Russian Government Resolution No. 1074 was published, setting out the procedure for providing assistance to retailers selling their goods on Wildberries who have been affected by UAV attacks on facilities belonging to RWB Group.
The support measures apply to individuals who have current contracts with Wildberries for the sale of goods and meet one of the following conditions:
- The estimated amount of damage resulting from UAV attacks, from July 2026 onwards, exceeds 5% of taxable income;
OR
- The entity (person) has been registered in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities or the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs since 1 December 2025 and has suffered damage from July 2026 onwards as a result of UAV attacks. In this case, the ratio of the amount of damage to turnover is irrelevant.
Types of support:
- A 12-month extension of the deadlines for payment of taxes and social contributions due between August 2026 and July 2027. After 12 months, taxes (excluding tax under the automated simplified taxation system and tax on professional income) and social contributions may be paid off in equal monthly instalments amounting to 1/12 of the sum due.
- Until 31 December 2026, the issuing of decisions, the conduct of on-site tax audits, and the deadlines for such audits, as well as checks on the correct calculation and timely payment of social contributions, are suspended.
- The deadlines for issuing demands for payment of arrears and for issuing decisions on the recovery of arrears are extended by 6 months.
A list of affected persons is compiled by Wildberries and sent to the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation, as well as to the insurer’s regional offices, on a monthly basis no later than the 10th day of each month. The first list was filed within two days of the date of publication of the Resolution (28.08.2026). RWB LLC is entitled to subsequently amend the details, and these will be taken into account for all months from August 2026 onwards.
Information on the new payment deadlines and the current balance of the unified tax account should be available in taxpayers’ personal accounts during September.
