The government approved amendments by the Ministry of Finance for the second reading of the budget package, which exempts investment funds (UIF) from a 15% tax on passive income. According to RBC, the fee will not be collected on funds that divide at least 90% of the income received during the year among the shareholders. In other cases, the responsibility of the taxpayer will fall on the management company. The bill to introduce a tax on closed and profitable mutual funds passed earlier in the first reading in the State Duma, after which market participants asked the department to soften the conditions.
