The "Ophora Rossii" business association proposed to the Ministry of Finance and the State Duma to soften the tax changes in the budget package, Kommersant writes. The organization seeks to maintain the current rates of 13-15% for income on bank deposits, to limit the maximum tax on dividends to 18% instead of the 22% proposed by the government, and also to freeze the income threshold of 20 million rubles for the patent tax system. In addition, entrepreneurs propose to replace the increased fines for minor tax offenses with warnings.
