MOSCOW, 2012-12-28 — /travelprnews.com/ — On December 27, 2012 Aeroflot and the Federal Tax Service of Russia entered into a pricing agreement in accordance with the recently introduced financial rules.
From now on, Aeroflot Group companies will send all the necessary information and documentation to the Federal Tax Service before determining prices and applying their pricing methods in order to provide more coordination and improve the quality of airlines’ financial forecast.
