The State Duma Committee on Budget and Taxes recommended that the lower house of parliament adopt in the first reading the norms on taxation for workers from abroad. According to TASS, these norms are part of a large government bill that implements a number of provisions of the main directions of tax policy.
Such a bill was submitted to the State Duma on April 24, but later it was withdrawn for clarification. It was resubmitted on 31 May.
According to the Secretary of State, Deputy Finance Minister Alexei Sazanov, during the preparation of the document, the issue of taxation of remote employees who work with organizations both under labor contracts and under GPC agreements was also resolved. It was emphasized that regardless of their status – Russian tax resident, non-resident – their income will be taxed at personal income tax rates of 13-15%.
Sazanov also said that the authorities abandoned the idea of raising personal income tax for Russians who left from 13-15% to 30%. Otherwise, the budget could lose both tax revenues and insurance premiums, he explained.
