The State Duma Committee approved a tax increase for citizens with an income of over 5 million rubles.

On September 17, the Government of the Russian Federation submitted to the State Duma of the Russian Federation a draft law, according to which income exceeding 5 million rubles. per year, will be taxed at a higher personal income tax rate – 15%.

The increased rate will apply to the following types of income:

• From work,

• From renting out property,

• Interest on bank deposits,

• Dividends,

• Income from operations with securities and financial derivatives

tools,

• Income of individuals from individual investment accounts,

• Profits of controlled foreign companies,

• Income of tax non-residents from labor activities, etc.

At the same time, in terms of income not exceeding 5 million rubles. per year, the rate will apply

13%, and only in terms of excess over 5 million rubles. the rate will be 15%.

Personal income tax payable will be:

20 million x 13% = 2.6 million rubles.

According to the new rules, personal income tax payable will be:

5 million x 13% + 15 million x 15% = 2.9 million rubles.

• Income from the sale of real estate is not subject to the increased rate and will

be taxed, as before, at a rate of 13% (30% for non-residents).

13%, while residents in excess of the amount of income in 5 million rubles. will have to

pay 15%.

operations with securities.

• “Pay extra” the increased tax will need to be based on a notification from

tax authority, which forms it on the basis of information received from

tax agents (employers, banks, brokers, etc.).
