For clarification, the government withdrew from the State Duma a bill that provides for an increase in tax for Russians who have lost their tax residency in Russia from 15% to 30% PIT. This was reported by TASS with reference to the press service of the Cabinet of Ministers.
The agency proposed to oblige Russian companies to collect 30% of the income of employees as personal income tax if they are not in Russia and are not tax residents of the country, but use the Russian segment of the Internet or place in the country technical, software and hardware.
Now Russian tax residents in the case of work under GPC agreements are required to pay 13% personal income tax. People who are not tax residents of the country and work in Russian companies — 15%. They must pay 30% of the rest of their income as a tax.
The Ministry of Finance proposed obliging employees of Russian companies working abroad to pay taxes in Russia back in July last year. The Bell source claimed that the adoption of this law, employees of Russian companies living abroad will be required to pay 30% personal income tax.
