Earlier, Forbes reported that the Cabinet of Ministers is discussing increased taxation of wealthy Russians. It was specified that an increase in the personal income tax rate from 13 to 15% for citizens with an annual income of 2-3 million rubles is considered. This idea was supported by the Sovfed and the State Duma. In particular, «United Russia» suggests increasing personal income tax for the rich and reducing it for the poor, reports TV channel 360. The increase in this tax was expected to be felt by about 1% of the Russians, and the total amount of tax would bring to the treasury about 60 million rubles.
Over the past 20 years, the State Duma has repeatedly reviewed draft laws concerning the personal income tax rate. It is now much more likely to be approved against the background of coronavirus infection.
