Russians may be required to notify the tax authorities if they hold one million rubles or the equivalent in another currency in cash, as well as explaining the origin of these funds. The corresponding bill was prepared by Deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Anatoly Wasserman.
“Now most mutual settlements, even purely family ones, can be captured in a non-monetary form. The project indicates the amount of one million rubles or the equivalent in other currencies, ”reports RIA Novosti.
The parliamentarian also noted that the amount can be changed during the work on the project. As a punishment, Wasserman proposed to introduce the confiscation of this sum, as well as a fine double the sum of money thus stored.
He also drew attention to the fact that large amounts of cash held by citizens are often the result of activities in the parallel or even “black” sector of the economy, so this area requires special control. . The MP clarified that currently there are fewer legitimate examples of the use of cash.
Earlier, the President of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation Elvira Nabiullina said that the Bank of Russia does not plan to introduce additional measures on foreign exchange restrictions, while some adjustment of existing measures is possible. The head of the Central Bank added that in general, this system “has more or less stabilized”.
