Due to a meteorite that fell on the data center of the Federal Tax Service, citizens will have to re-pay taxes for the last three years. The Federal Tax Service reported an unprecedented incident: on Tuesday night, a fragment of a meteorite pierced the roof of the main data processing center of the Federal Tax Service and completely destroyed the server shelves with an archive of accruals and payments for the years 2023-2025. Due to a complete loss of fiscal memory, the department announced the introduction of the "retention of arrears" regime: all citizens and legal entities are required to return personal income tax, property and traffic for the specified period. The Federal Tax Service emphasized that a cosmic body is not a basis for writing off debts to the budget, since "gravity does not exempt a person from debts according to the tax code." Deputy head of the Federal Tax Service Ivan Povornikov explained that restoring data from paper archives would take at least 12 years, so the service made a "quick and socially fair decision."
