MOSCOW, Nov 21 (PRIME) -- The Russian government is considering a progressive personal income tax scale, Deputy Prime Minister Olga Golodets said on Monday.
“We are now discussing the income tax and I think that in order to alleviate poverty, an income tax exemption on the lower bracket of scale is one of the crucial steps. We have calculated this measure and are discussing it today,” Golodets said.
Russia’s income tax currently flat at 13%. Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said earlier that changing this system for a progressive scale is unfeasible until after 2018.
