The topics discussed in the video include tax residency, the legitimacy of tax authorities’ actions during inspections, taxation in foreign economic contracts, common misconceptions about the simplified taxation system, and how clear the tax system is for the taxpayer. The expert refutes popular statements that are often heard by both entrepreneurs and individuals, and demonstrates how the situation looks from a legal point of view.
