During the eight months of 2026, Russian banks paid fines of 553 million rubles for errors and delays in transferring customer data to the Federal Tax Service, Izvestia writes. This is 29 times more than in the same period last year. The credit institutions paid another 33 million rubles for not complying with decisions to block accounts of debtors, which is almost five times the figure of last year. The increase in payments is related to the strengthening of tax supervision, automation of collection and an increase in the flow of electronic orders.
