Deoffshorization as an Economic and Legal Category

Abstract
The article examines the concept of deoffshorization from the perspective of various sciences. From an economic point of view, the emphasis is made on reducing the role of the offshore factor in Russian business by decreasing the number of offshore companies used or the quantitative value of capital outflow. From a legal point of view, that is a set of measures for state regulation of the economy, which is aimed at limiting (stopping) capital outflow to offshore jurisdictions. It is argued that they should be implemented using not only binding and prohibitive, but also stimulating legal means that promote domestic investments, both internal and external, carried out by Russian individuals and legal entities. The lack of a unified legal definition, ambiguity in the content and legal meaning of the legal means to be applied do not allow the full potential of deoffshorization to be realized.
