Russia plans higher taxes for rich, companies as cost of Ukraine war mounts

Russia has announced plans to raise taxes on businesses and the wealthy as it scrambles for additional revenue to fund its invasion of Ukraine.

-snip-

“The changes are aimed at building a fair and balanced tax system,” Minister of Finance Anton Siluanov said in a statement, adding that the extra funds would bolster Russia’s “economic wellbeing”.

-snip-

Income tax is currently 13 percent for the majority of Russians, with some higher earners paying a rate of 15 percent.

The Finance Ministry said under the amendments that the 15 percent rate would apply for annual incomes between 2.4 and 5 million roubles ($27,000-56,000), with three higher bands – of 18 percent, 20 percent and 22 percent – further up the income ladder. The top rate would apply to earnings exceeding 50 million roubles ($560,000).

-snip-

The corporate tax, meanwhile, will rise to 25 percent from 20 percent, adding 1.6 trillion roubles ($18b) to the budget in 2025 and 11.1 trillion roubles ($125.3bn) by 2030, according to Interfax.

The ministry said corporate tax rates could increase because the share of profitable companies in the economy was growing.

Do the Oblasts have income taxes? 42 states do.

I really don’t care what Russia does to it’s citizens. I care about what the government of this country is doing to it’s citizens.

Which still means Russia's tax code IS FAR LESS Marxist than the US or any other European nation.

Our top tax rate is 37%, more than twice as high.

You never cease making a fool of yourself.

I’ve always wondered - Are you a bot or AI program?

The narrative of “OMG - Govt raises taxes to fight war” is almost too stupid for a real human being to promote
