Everything will soon become more expensive. What has long been discussed as a project will soon become a fait accompli - all foreign goods in the markets will rise sharply in price. The State Duma adopted in the first reading a bill introducing a 22% VAT on goods produced abroad. It's no secret that budget products in the markets have long helped our citizens maintain their normal standard of living, despite inflation and the general economic crisis. But this last resort is coming to an end. The new tax will affect the most popular goods categories - electronics, clothing, various household items from China and other countries. The tax will be automatically added to the final price for the buyer. This was allegedly done in order to compare the conditions to Russian stores and foreign websites. However, all the latest innovations in the tax field indicate rather frantic attempts by the authorities to obtain additional sources of income somewhere. And as always, as a result, the wallets of ordinary people are "greased", that even the purchase of the most basic things will now become less affordable for them. "Miroslava Raginskaya".
