Since August 9, 2021 NCC expands for non-resident clearing members opportunity for direct access to the clearing service on the Moscow Exchange.

“Such innovation means that NCC as a qualified central counterparty becomes counterparty to trades of non-residents which guarantees fulfillment of obligations under trades. We believe that such service will reduce risks of non-resident clearing members, which will increase limits for their operations on the Russian market” – said Eddi Astanin, Chairman of the NCC Management Board.

NCC also becomes tax agent for trades executed by non-resident clearing members on the Moscow Exchange. Tax agent secures calculation, withholding and transferring to the budget of the Russian Federation of taxes on income of non-resident clearing members and their clients, and provision to tax bodies of the reporting on income, paid out to foreign entities, and on sums of withheld taxes.
