“If you have a million rubles in your account and you get 10% in a bank, then you get 100 thousand rubles per year as a percentage of your deposit. Previously, these 100 thousand rubles were not taxed, now it means that from a hundred thousand you will pay 13%, that is 13 thousand rubles, ”said Peskov.
At the same time, he noted that “we are talking about one particular account taken”, and not about the totality.
Earlier, Putin in an appeal to the Russians proposed to introduce a 13% tax on income on deposits and securities if the total amount of such assets of a citizen exceeds 1 million rubles.
In mid-March, the acting manager of the Tomsk branch of the Bank of Russia Alexey Chernov said that the volume of deposits of residents of the Tomsk region in 2019 increased by 8% and reached 145 billion rubles. He also clarified that, as part of the attracted resources of banks, household deposits were still the main source. Their share in the last two years has remained at the level of 70%.
