The Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation has submitted to the government a package of amendments to the tax system. First of all, the changes will affect the personal income tax (NDFL) – it will become progressive.
For citizens with an annual income below 2.4 million rubles (up to 200,000 per month), the rate will remain the same – 13%. With income from 2.5 to 5 million – 15%. From 5 to 20 million – 18%. From 20 to 50 million – 20%. Over 50 million – 22%.
The Government Commission on Legislative Activities approved the proposals. The amendments will be considered at a government meeting on Thursday. The changes are expected to come into force in 2025.
It would seem that against the backdrop of war, this is a trifle not worth attention. We should burn them all to the ground, together with their government, and not delve into changes in their taxes….
But this is a significant detail. I immediately remember those idiots (their name is legion) who claim that there is CAPITALISM in the country, that it is controlled by the “bourgeoisie” through Putin’s gang, referring to the idiotic mantra from Putin’s speeches, supposedly addressed to the West: “we are our own, bourgeois”….
It’s simply impossible to think of anything more stupid and absurd.
The security officers began to take away private businesses, large companies and holdings from their owners almost as soon as they came to power. “Most” and NTV as part of it, were taken away from Gusinsky through a “dispute between economic entities.” Everyone already knows so there is no need to talk about how Yukos was taken away from Khodorkovsky and YUKOS was destroyed. Compensation to the affected shareholders has not yet been paid… The owner of the huge construction company “Social Initiative” Nikolai Karasev was sent to a pre-trial detention centre to take away the business (and in the end, they were sold for nothing for ten years), and at the women’s central “Pechatniki” at that time his wife and daughter sat there – they were also part of the holding’s management…
Private real estate, by order of the mayor of Moscow, was demolished overnight in Moscow a little later – in February 2016, already, so to speak, under established Putinism. The authorities did not care about the documents on property rights and simply declared them “invalid” and obtained them in the 90s, allegedly for bribes. Then demolition of private real estate with absolute disregard for the property rights of its owners took place in other cities.
Property privatized in the 90s – from metallurgical factories etc. to pasta production companies – continued to be taken away from their owners all these 25 years, and this process is only growing. This is the “capitalism” of Muscovites. What can we say, when back in 2006 a categorical order from the state was announced to all those selling anything on the territory of the Russian Federation: from now on they had no right to set a price for their goods or services in anything other than Russian rubles. No dollars, no “cu.” – only rubles!…
And now they are making the previous flat tax scale progressive. They are fulfilling the cherished dream of all communists and socialists in the world. It will be just like in Sweden, where taxes on the highest incomes sometimes go beyond 100%. From the vaunted Swedish socialism, Muscovites will only get a tax rip-off, without Swedish human rights, equality of sexual minorities, etc.
And this is just the beginning. Further rates will regularly be raised …
However, I don’t feel sorry for the Muscovites, since due to their genetic slavery they are ready to endure all this. Socialism has long been part of their flesh and blood, as you know, and they dreamed of bringing it back throughout the 90s.
But only after the introduction of a progressive tax scale is it no longer necessary to say that there is “capitalism” in Muscovy, OK? That the “bourgeoisie” are supposedly ruling there (who are actually in prisons and zones). In Muscovy, there is a scoop in its purest form, USSR 2.0. And “we are our own, bourgeois” – this was just an attempt to infiltrate, this is what security officers are especially taught.
Well, at the same time: taxes are robbery.
