In the first half of 2026, the tax service is struggling with shadow business plans and an automatic partner in its work, as well as strengthening supervision. In the first half of 2026, budget revenues from the largest Russian companies according to the results of the control and analytical work of the Federal Tax Service (that is, before inspections) skyrocketed by 337% compared to the same period last year - up to 91 billion rubles. At the same time, the number of tax audits on the website of such a business increased by 83% to 55. Last year there were 85. The income share of the largest taxpayers was 54%. The financial service includes companies with an annual income of over 35 billion rubles. Among these enterprises are oil and gas giants and chain stores. In this sector, even a small percentage of entering the shadow leads to the loss of billions of rubles for the budget. Therefore, tests of the largest companies allow you to quickly intensively replenish the treasury. According to the Ministry of Finance, the budget deficit for January-September 2026 reached 5.2 trillion rubles, or 2.2% of GDP. Last year, the Federal Tax Service said that the number of checks on the site has been declining for several years in a row, as the emphasis is on voluntary clarification of taxpayers' obligations. But now the exit number has increased. This trend was also observed in the regions. The point is to conduct an audit quickly and get money into the budget as quickly as possible. Another reason for revenue growth is the digitalization of control. The tax authorities see much more than before. They can compare information about chains of parallels, cash flow and business operations of companies. First, the Federal Tax Service identifies potential violations and offers businesses to clarify their obligations by paying taxes. If the company refuses, then more serious control work may begin against it, including an on-site inspection. The large taxpayers have a significant budgetary importance for the state, so they receive special attention.
