Deputy head of the Ministry of Finance: collection from business to the budget can be voluntary or mandatory

“In what form the payment will be made, this needs to be discussed with the business, to enter into a consolidated position with them.

But this will definitely not be a change in some existing taxes - income tax, VAT, ”Interfax quotes him.

First, we need to decide on the amount of this payment and how it will be calculated, the deputy minister emphasized.

First Deputy Prime Minister Andrey Belousov said earlier that the government is discussing a voluntary one-time contribution to the Russian budget with big business.

He noted that in tax practice there is such a thing as windfall tax - a one-time tax collection.
