The State Duma of the Russian Federation has begun work on the development of a project in the field of changes in tax legislation, namely, the introduction of amendments to the progressive taxation of personal income.
Progressive taxation is a taxation system in which the effective tax rate increases with an increase in the tax base. In other words, with the growth of an individual’s income, the size of the tax rate increases.

When calculating the annual amount of income, all its categories will be taken into account — wages, investments, interest on deposits, dividends, income from the sale of securities, and so on. Personal income tax from state pensions and benefits will not be withheld. At the same time, only that part of income that is above its threshold amount will be taxed at an increased rate.

The new changes are primarily related to the idea of increasing the amount of taxation for individuals receiving higher amounts of income.
