A comparative analysis of these decisions was carried out to identify similarities and differences in approaches to the legal qualification of the actions of the owner of the digital platform on the use of the price parity clause. In particular, in the countries of the European Union, antitrust regulators and courts have qualified the relevant actions of the owner of the digital platform as a violation of the legislative ban on the conclusion of vertical agreements restricting competition.

One of the principles of the contract system is the principle of ensuring competition: the contract system in the field of procurement is aimed at creating a level playing field to ensure competition between procurement participants. For this purpose, value added tax (VAT) must be taken into account when justifying the initial (maximum) contract price. When forming a draft contract and signing it, it is clear that the contract price includes all taxes, including value added tax. If the winner of the procedure is a subject who does not pay value added tax (for example, due to a simplified taxation system) – the contract price is not reduced, it, as indicated in the Federal Law of April 5, 2013 № 44-FZ «On the contract system in the field of procurement of goods, works, services to meet state and municipal needs» (Law № 44), is firm. In this case, the tax amount will be the profit of the counterparty.Significant attention is paid to the study of procurement practices after a number of significant changes were made to Law № 44 in 2022.The purpose of the article is to develop recommendations for customers that allow making purchases with the greatest efficiency and number of participants (including by optimizing the calculation of the NMCC) to promote competition.","PeriodicalId":250547,"journal":{"name":"Russian competition law and economy","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132734436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This was facilitated by the introduction into the regulatory practice of the country of the so-called «international» standards of scientific publication activity, reporting, performance of scientific qualification works, global competition of economic entities in the scientific and educational sphere.The authors propose and justify a number of measures aimed at overcoming the dependence of Russian science and higher education on the negative impact of global unfair competition in the relevant field. The basis of these measures should be the development of a new national (mainly expert) system for assessing the effectiveness of scientific activities, the effectiveness of scientific and educational organizations, which would be focused on ensuring sustainable development, security and sovereignty of the country, strengthening the spiritual and moral health of the nation and increasing the well-being of its citizens.","PeriodicalId":250547,"journal":{"name":"Russian competition law and economy","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115275452","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
