The State Duma unanimously adopted in the first reading a bill regarding the excess income tax. The document provides additional income to the federal budget by withdrawing part of the excess income of organizations that extract minerals, including precious metals. As State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin noted earlier, "the state fully fulfills its social obligations towards the citizens." "At the same time, it is important that the support measures be expanded. To this end, it is necessary to increase the revenues for the federal budget, including through fair taxation of industries such as gold mining," he said. What's next: The bill will have a second reading, after which specific parameters for the exemption and a list of branches will be established. Financial guard daughter. C | at MAX.
