“This is a step towards the introduction of a progressive taxation scale in Russia.
Over time, the initiative will reduce tax rates for low-income citizens, ”the expert is sure.
According to him, this approach is considered around the world to be more equitable in the distribution of income than a flat taxation scale.
The corresponding system was introduced in Russia back in 2001 - since then, all citizens of the country have been paying personal income tax at a uniform rate of 13%.
The idea to increase the personal income tax rate for people with high income at the end of June was announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
To date, the relevant bill has already been submitted to the State Duma for consideration.
As expected, thanks to the initiative from 2021 to 2023, the country's budget will receive an additional 190 billion rubles.
This money will be used to treat children with serious illnesses.
