The personal income tax rate for Russians working from abroad will remain the same and will be 13-15%. This statement was made by Deputy Finance Minister Alexei Sazonov. As the official clarified, this will affect employees working remotely, under employment contracts and civil law documents. A new version of the bill has been prepared for submission to the State Duma.
“Regardless of their status – Russian tax resident, Russian non-resident – their income will be taxed at the personal income tax rate of 13/15% provided for Russian tax residents,” said Alexei Sazanov, whose the remarks are quoted on the website of the Ministry of Finance.
According to him, the clarification of the types of income of teleworkers and the application of a single tax rate will considerably simplify the tax administration system for tax officials.
Amendments to the Tax Code were launched on April 24 and assumed an increase in the tax burden of up to 30% for people working from abroad for more than 183 days during the year, writes Kommersant. Admittedly, the amendments only affected those who worked within the framework of the GPC agreement. The next day, the government withdrew the document for “technical changes”.
Previously, the State Duma proposed to introduce an additional fee for individuals and organizations performing the functions of foreign agents. Proceeds are proposed to be directed to the needs of orphans. We are talking about an additional 5% of the profits of an organization or an individual.
