The consequences of making a transaction with indication as such taxation, registration, information, and accounting are researched. The legislation requirements to contents and form of a transaction are disclosed, including written form, notarial verification of transactions. State registration requirements of transactions are given. It is grounded that contents and form of a transaction are relatively independent elements, which characterize a transaction as a legal concept and a logical construction.
