The finance ministry of Russia on Tuesday proposed implementing new tax rates for high-income earners and specific industries starting in 2025. 

Russia Wants to Implement New Tax Hikes

According to Reuters, these proposed measures include progressive income tax rates for those earning over 2.4 million roubles ($27,100) annually and an increase in the mineral extraction tax for fertilizer and iron ore producers.

The ministry expects these tax amendments to generate an additional 2.6 trillion roubles in revenue. After securing an election victory in March, Russian President Vladimir Putin also proposed increasing the taxes of companies and rich individuals for additional revenue to fund its war in Ukraine.

Most Russians currently pay a 13% income tax, with a higher rate of 15% for wealthier individuals. The proposed changes will introduce a 15% tax on annual incomes between 2.4 and 5 million roubles, 18% on 5 to 20 million roubles, 20% on 20 to 50 million roubles, and 22% on those exceeding 50 million roubles.

According to Finance Minister Anton Siluanov, this adjustment will impact about 3.2% of the workforce, or approximately two million people.

In addition to personal income tax changes, the corporate tax rate is set to rise from 20% to 25%, with a pledge for a deduction for some investments. The ministry also plans to abolish export duties connected to the rouble-dollar exchange rate.
