Official: Russian govt not mulling higher income tax for wealthy

MOSCOW, Jun 18 (PRIME) -- The Russian government is not discussing a higher personal income tax for wealthy people, spokesman for the prime minister Boris Belyakov told PRIME on Thursday.

"This idea is not discussed," Belyakov said.

Forbes reported on Wednesday that the government is discussing introduction of a progressive income tax scale that would raise the tax to 15% from 13% for the wealthy, or those whose annual income exceeds 2–3 million rubles.
