In accordance with paragraph 7 entry 1 of article 164 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation the 0% VAT rate is applied by the rendering of the services of Rostelecom for the official use by the international diplomatic and equated to them representatives or for personal use by the diplomatic or administrative and technical personnel of these representative offices, including the resident family members, provided the law of the corresponding foreign country establishes the similar order in relation to the diplomatic and equated to them representative offices of the Russian Federation and their employees or if the similar form is indicated in the international Agreement of the Russian Federation.

If after the conclusion of the present Agreement, Letter of MTC of the Russian Federation No.RD-6-23/382 of 01.04.2003 is cancelled, in order to determine the list of the countries in relation to the diplomatic representatives and employees of which the 0% VAT rate should be applied, other duly approved and valid documents establishing the indicated list should be used. The possibility of the application of the 0% VAT rate to the foreign diplomatic representative office is determined in accordance with the list valid at the day of the rendering of the services of Rostelecom.

The 0% VAT rate is applied only in relation to the services rendered to the diplomatic and equated to them representatives by the telephone numbers indicated in the Agreement on the rendering of the long-distance and international telecommunications between Rostelecom (concluded by the Operator on behalf of Rostelecom) and the diplomatic representative office.

The 0% VAT rate is applied exceptionally on the condition of the presentation by the diplomatic and equated to them representative office to the Operator of an official letter of the representative (signed by the head of representative office or the substitute, sealed by the stamp of the representative office in question), confirming that the services of Rostelecom are intended for the official use by the representative offices or their employees.

The letter must contain the following phrase: “This is to confirm that the long-distance and international telecommunications rendered by OAO Rostelecom (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇. ▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇) according to the public Agreement No.______ dt. _________________ by the list of telephone numbers given below are intended for the official use by the representative office”. The letter must contain the list of the telephone numbers by which the services of Rostelecom are rendered, in relation to which the 0% VAT rate is applied, in the format: (code ABC, DEF) (telephone number).

The Operator is obliged to provide the storing of the original of the indicated letters during the period of three years starting from the date of the end of the year in which the services of Rostelecom were rendered, and the presentation of these originals to Rostelecom in case of necessity.

By non-performance of the application of the aforementioned conditions the Operator should apply to the rendering of the services of Rostelecom to the diplomatic and equated to them representative office of the 18% VAT rate.

In accordance with the Regulations of the application of the zero VAT rate by the selling of goods (works, services) for the official use by the foreign diplomatic and equated to them representative offices or for personal use by the diplomatic or administrative and technical employees of these representative offices, including the resident family members, established by the Governmental Regulation of the Russian Federation No.1033 of 30.12.2000, in order to prove the validity of the application of the 0% VAT rate in relation to the services of Rostelecom, rendered to the diplomatic and equated to them representative offices during the accounting period, the Operator must present to Rostelecom:
