The Ministry of Finance did not support the adjustment of the excise tax on steel

Russian Deputy Finance Minister Alexei Sazanov said that the agency does not support any adjustments to the excise tax on steel, since revenues from it have already been budgeted for a three-year period. On March 19, he told reporters on the sidelines of the Fifth Anniversary St. Petersburg Tax Forum.

"We believe that nothing needs to be adjusted. The budget has been adopted for a three—year period," RIA Novosti quoted Sazanov as saying.

Sazanov explained that the budget for the next three years has already included certain revenues from the excise tax on steel, so it is impossible to abandon them now. In this regard, the Ministry of Finance does not support any adjustments to the calculation formula.
