Russian Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin has instructed Russian officials to approve a progressive personal income tax scale by the end of August.
Quote: “As for changes in the tax system, they should be finally worked out by the government and the State Duma – and somewhere in August, I think, their final adoption is planned,” said the Russian ruler.
He said the changes will affect no more than 3.2% of taxpayers.
Prior to this, the Budget and Taxes Committee of the Russian State Duma approved amendments to the Tax Code providing for transition to a progressive personal income tax scale. It is expected that the bill will be considered on 20 June. If adopted, it will take effect on 1 January 2025.
- In March 2024, it was reported that the Russian government planned to increase taxes for population and businesses after the presidential elections, which would allow an additional budget revenue of over US$27 billion to increase spending on the war.
- In May, it became known that Russia was preparing to raise the VAT rate for enterprises from 20% to 25%, as well as for individuals whose annual income exceeded US$27,000.

The sheep will believe this BS and thank Putler for not raising their taxes. Who do they think will be paying the 5% increase in VAT?
Ain’t the first and won’t be the last tax hike. And the roaches won’t get better schools, roads, or power grid for the extra money they have to fork over. They get more cesspool … and the really lucky ones won’t be sent to die or get maimed in Vladolf’s senseless war.
The roads in russia are excellent. Just take this main highway in the richest region in mafia land. As you see, no expense has been spared. 😂
And most of those brainless morons approve of a war that costs a huge fortune. Well, the brainless morons better enjoy that road, it won’t get any better. 😁
The latest brain child of the mafia gang is to spend billions on surveillance drones to “protect” the russian public.
I don’t mind it at all. Whatever wastes their money is fine with me.
