society normally perceives the transition to progressive taxation – Kommersant

President Vladimir Putin said that Russian authorities plan to reduce the tax burden for large families and “take a whole series of steps in this direction.” In his opinion, society normally perceives the transition to a progressive taxation system, and business is only asking to decide on the system so that “they don’t touch it anymore.”

“Yes, essentially a progressive tax. I wouldn’t like to go into details now, I need to work on this. And thus it is necessary to build this system so that it really gives greater returns for solving, first of all, social issues and tasks facing the state in this area. We plan to reduce the tax burden, for example, for large families, and take a number of steps in this direction,” said Mr. Putin “RIA News”. The news does not specify what question the president was answering.

As the head of state said, former ardent supporters of the flat scale and its authors believe that Russia is “ripe for selective taxation.” “It seems to me that society will perceive this as absolutely normal,” he added. Mr. Putin noted that business only asks that the authorities “decide on the taxation system, but do not touch it anymore, so that it is stable.”

Vladimir Putin during his address to the Federal Assembly instructed modernize the tax system and fix it in a new form until 2030. The President proposed thinking about increasing the tax burden on people with higher incomes. At the same time, he proposed reducing the burden on families, including through deductions.
