Documentation / Reporting​

Q: What documents should I expect from RuStore, and when?

A:

  1. Reports on the fulfillment of Instructions are provided by the Company in the Developer’s Personal Account in RuStore or sent to the Developer’s email address provided to the Company for these purposes, no later than the 15th (fifteenth) business day of the calendar month following the Reporting Period.
  2. The Certificate of Acceptance (Act) of services rendered, signed by RuStore. The Act is provided no later than the 15th (fifteenth) business day of the calendar month following the Reporting Period."

Q: What do the items and calculations in the Report mean?

A: All calculations and their explanations can be found at: https://www.rustore.ru/help/developers/monetization/monetization-report

Q: What does "undistributed payments" mean?

A: The amount of payments received from users of your apps but not credited to your account by the end of the previous reporting period represents funds that the acquiring bank has not yet processed and transferred to your account within the reporting period. This amount will be distributed in the next reporting period.

Q: Can I get a reconciliation statement?

A: Yes, please send all such requests to support@rustore.ru

Q: What if I cannot provide a certificate of tax residency within 5 days?

A: We can work with you without the certificate, but if our tax authorities reclassify the contract for services as a license agreement, then an additional withholding tax of 20% will arise, which we will be obliged to withhold from the Developer. This additional tax will be withheld for all periods during which payments were made.

Taxes​

Q: If a foreign company registers as a Developer in RuStore, how will taxes be paid?

A: If payments are processed through RuStore, we will withhold and remit to the Russian Federal Tax Service (FNS) those taxes for which we are recognized as a tax agent in accordance with the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

Settlements​

Monetization​
