The banks want to postpone for a year the introduction of a progressive taxation scale on deposits.
The National Council for the Financial Market sent a letter to the State Duma with proposals from bankers to complete the bill affecting the taxation of citizens' income on deposits.
The document states that the banks physically do not have time to update the software - and besides, most of the wealthy customers are concentrated in large banks, and all of them will have to bear the costs of updating the system.
