This week the Duma is supposed to discuss a bill that establishes the unification of active and passive income of citizens, in particular salaries and interest on deposits and profits from investments, in order to apply a single taxation system to them. Currently, salaries are taxed on a five-step scale from 13% to 22%, while investment income is only from 13% to 15%. According to the Ministry of Finance, which developed the document, the changes may affect 4 million people and bring about 1.35 trillion rubles to the budget. - Kommersant.
