The Communist Party of the Russian Federation proposed to raise the tax rate on incomes over 50 million rubles to 45%.

The government was offered to raise the tax rate to 45% for citizens whose annual incomes exceed 50 million rubles, and also lower it to 10% for those whose earnings do not exceed 500 thousand rubles. As Izvestia found out on January 20, such a bill was sent to the government by deputies of the Communist Party faction in the State Duma, headed by first deputy chairman of the Central Committee (CC) of the Communist Party Yuri Afonin.

We are talking about both salaries and income from winnings, mining and investments. According to the deputies, the current taxation system does not sufficiently take into account the differentiation of people's income levels, which is why the tax burden on low-income citizens is comparable to the burden on middle-income people.

Incomes over 500 thousand rubles are proposed to be taxed at the same rates (with the exception of income tax over 50 million rubles per year): 13% — for incomes from 500 thousand rubles to 2.4 million rubles per year and 15% — for incomes from 2.4 to 5 million rubles per year.

"For 20 years, Russia had an absolutely "flat" personal income tax scale, meaning both the oligarch and the nurse paid the tax at the same rate. All these years, the Communists have been pushing for the introduction of a progressive scale of taxation. As a result, the executive branch itself proposed the introduction of a progressive scale. However, this newly established progressive personal income tax scale is too "flat": a 22 percent rate for the richest and no tax breaks for low–income people who actually struggle for financial survival every month," Afonin explained.

According to him, for comparison, in all the largest economies of the world, the income tax rate for the richest is at least about 40% and reaches 70%, but for the poorest the rate may be zero.

"Our bill should restore basic social justice in the matter of taxation and increase state budget revenues," the deputy stressed.

Softly laid: Russians were told about the methods of forming a "financial cushion"

Becoming a millionaire requires a systematic approach.

Earlier, on January 17, he was an expert of the NIFI project of the Ministry of Finance of Russia "My Finances.Russian Federation" Maria Ivatkina reported that in order to receive a monthly passive income, Russians need to make a fairly impressive deposit to the bank. In addition, income from placing funds on bank deposits will need to pay personal income tax, which depends on the key rate of the Bank of Russia.

Ruslan Spinka, Director of Sales and Customer Service at Fontvielle IC, announced on January 7 that Russians could consider a savings account as a replacement for bank deposits, which allows them to withdraw funds at any time. They are available with almost any amount, whereas deposits often have an entry threshold. For owners of small amounts, he recommended paying attention to short–term deposits for one to two months, which are sometimes offered as part of marketing campaigns and can provide income above expectations.
