With the purposes of advancement of countermeasures, directed at ta crimes, it is necessary to develop international cooperation between various states in this sphere. In this study, we consider bilateral agreements of Russia with Foreign states regarding avoidance of double taxation as well as legal help, cooperation and information exchange in the sphere of combating violations of the tax legislation. We analyze accountability for tax crimes in Russia and other countries, make suggestions regarding advancement of criminal law of the Russian Federation which regulates accountability for tax crimes. In particular, we suggest approving non-exclusive list of means of tax evasions of legal or natural person.
