What will change in the lives of Russians from June 1
June traditionally opens the holiday and summer vacation season, but at the same time it brings a number of important legislative changes. Since the beginning of the month, some families will be able to make a new payment for children, at the same time, state duties for obtaining phone numbers will increase, entrepreneurs will have to decide on the tax regime, and importers of goods from the EAEU countries will have to pay VAT in advance. For more information about what innovations await citizens and businesses and how they will affect everyday life, see the Izvestia article.
New family allowance for working parents
On June 1, the Social Fund of Russia will begin accepting applications for a new annual family allowance for working parents with two or more children. Families whose average per capita income does not exceed one and a half regional subsistence levels will be able to apply for it.
The support measure is a mechanism for partial repayment of previously paid personal income tax. During the year, citizens pay personal income tax at the standard rate of 13%, but at the end of the tax period it will be recalculated at the rate of 6%. The difference between the tax paid and calculated is refunded to the applicant's account.
The right to payment is granted to families with two or more children under the age of 18, or under the age of 23 if they study full-time. Only the parent who officially worked and paid personal income tax in the year preceding the application can apply for recalculation. Self-employed citizens and individual entrepreneurs applying special tax regimes will not be able to take advantage of this support measure.
Additional conditions are the citizenship of the Russian Federation, permanent residence in the country, the status of a tax resident, as well as the absence of alimony arrears.
If the family meets the established criteria, they will be able to apply for a tax recalculation. You can make a payment through the Gosuslugi portal, in multifunctional centers or in the client services of the Social Fund of Russia.
The fund requests most of the necessary documents independently as part of interagency cooperation. However, in some cases, the applicant will need to provide additional information — for example, confirmation of the child's education at the university, if he has reached the age of majority. The right to receive payments must be confirmed annually.
Increase in state fees for allocation of telephone numbers
Starting from June 1, 2026, the amount of state fees for the allocation of numbering resources, including telephone numbers and individual communication codes, will change in Russia. The relevant decision was made by the interdepartmental working group on optimization and automation of processes in the field of licensing and licensing activities.
For citizens, the basic fee for allocating one phone number will be 100 rubles. It will be applied both to the numbers of the seventh worldwide numbering zone (including regular mobile and landline numbers) and to the numbers of the dedicated network of the unified telecommunications network of Russia. The exception will be numbers from the so—called telecommunication service access codes (special service combinations, for example, 8-800...) - the new rate does not apply to them.
Increased tariffs have also been established for telecom operators and certain numbering categories. In particular, the fee for identification codes of mobile radiotelephone and radio communication networks will amount to 6.5 million rubles. Rates of 70 thousand rubles are provided for certain types of access codes to communication services, and for some identifiers of communication nodes — from 7 thousand to 650 thousand rubles, depending on the type and level of the network.
In addition, from September 1, 2026, subscribers will have the opportunity to save their number when changing regions. To do this, you will need to submit an application to the telecom operator in person or remotely.
The deadline for notification of a change in the tax regime for sole proprietors
By June 1, 2026, in connection with the adoption of Federal Law No. 104-FZ dated 04/25/2026, individual entrepreneurs must send notifications to the tax authorities about a change in the regime or object of taxation. This deadline is set as the deadline for making a number of changes related to the application of special tax regimes.
First of all, the requirement concerns entrepreneurs who applied the patent taxation system (PSN) in 2025 and received income in excess of 20 million rubles. In this case, before the specified date, it is necessary to notify the tax authorities about the transition to the simplified taxation system (STS). If the established conditions are met, the USN will be applied from January 1, 2026.
A separate procedure is provided for sole proprietors who used the PSN and the USN at the same time in December 2025 or have already switched from a patent to a simplified system since the beginning of 2026. If their income for the past year exceeded 20 million rubles, they have the right to change the object of taxation under the tax system by June 1, 2026. In particular, entrepreneurs can switch from the "income" mode to "income minus expenses".
All changes are processed by submitting an appropriate notification to the tax authorities. After June 1, 2026, it will be impossible to make adjustments for the specified period.
Tightening the terms of account blocking
Amendments to the legislation on combating money laundering and financing of terrorism and extremist activities will come into force in Russia on June 14. The amendments affect the procedure for dealing with individuals and organizations included in the Rosfinmonitoring list.
The Agency maintains a list of citizens and organizations in respect of which there is information about possible involvement in extremist or terrorist activities. When included in this list, the bank accounts and property of such persons are subject to blocking, they lose the opportunity to freely dispose of funds, except in certain cases prescribed by law.
According to the new rules, the account blocking period is reduced to one day from the date of listing. Thus, financial institutions are required to respond promptly, regardless of weekends and holidays.
In addition, if a person included in the list is wanted, credit institutions are required to suspend operations on his accounts until the end of the search. At the same time, it remains possible to make mandatory payments, including taxes and fines. Banks also get the right to suspend suspicious transactions (with the exception of deposits to the account) for up to five business days for additional verification.
It is separately clarified that citizens whose accounts are blocked retain the right to receive and use the monthly humanitarian allowance established in accordance with the law.
Changes in the rules of VAT payment when importing goods from the EAEU
Starting from June 1, 2026, Russia will introduce a new procedure for the import of goods by road from the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union — Kazakhstan, Belarus, Armenia and Kyrgyzstan. The changes are introduced by Federal Law No. 102-FZ dated 04/17/2026 and are related to the launch of the National Goods Waiting Confirmation System (SPOT).
The new mechanism provides for mandatory prior notification of delivery and payment of a security payment for VAT before crossing the border. There is no transition period for the implementation of the system — the new requirements will begin to apply immediately on June 1.
From this date, it will be impossible to import goods by road from the EAEU countries without issuing a document on the upcoming delivery and obtaining a special QR code. The absence of a QR code from the carrier will be the basis for refusing entry of a car with cargo into the territory of Russia.
According to the new rules, importers or intermediaries who subsequently file indirect tax returns are required to submit a DPP to the operator of the SPOT system, the Federal Tax Service of Russia, no later than two calendar days before the import of the goods. After that, it is necessary to make a security payment, receive a QR code confirming the delivery, and transfer it to the carrier.
The document on the upcoming delivery must contain information about the parties to the transaction — the applicant, the seller and the carrier, as well as information about the delivery contract, the imported goods, the vehicle and the expected date of import. In addition, the DPP will need to specify the amount of the security payment, the procedure for calculating it, and the grounds for possible exemption from payment.
Carriers, in turn, are required to have a QR code when crossing the border and present it at the request of the customs authorities.
You can submit an additional payment through a special service on the website of the Federal Tax Service of Russia or create a document in your own accounting system and send it to the tax authorities via telecommunication channels through an electronic document management operator.
New national standards for hotels and hostels
Starting from June 1, 2026, two new national standards in the field of tourism will come into force in Russia, which apply to all types of accommodation facilities — hotels, hostels, apartments and other tourist infrastructure facilities.
The first document is GOST R 72261-2025 "Tourism and related services. Accommodation facilities. General requirements", approved by order of Rosstandart on September 8, 2025. The new standard systematizes the requirements for the operation of accommodation facilities, including the level of equipment and the organization of guest service.
The document covers key aspects of the activities of hotels and hostels: information requirements, the condition of the surrounding area, the technical condition of buildings and engineering systems, the quality of services, safety, environmental protection, as well as staff training.
Compliance with GOST is voluntary, but its application will allow accommodation facilities to unify internal processes, improve the quality of service and use ready-made technical solutions without having to develop their own regulations.
At the same time, the preliminary national standard PNST 1017-2025 "Tourism and related services. Recommendations on the adaptation of tourist industry facilities for the reception of foreign tourists". The document contains recommendations on the organization of services for foreign guests, from language support and intuitive navigation to the introduction of digital services and the adaptation of food, taking into account the cultural characteristics of tourists.
The standard pays special attention to travelers from China, but the proposed recommendations are designed for a wide range of foreign tourists and can be used to receive guests from any country.
Updated requirements for the fire alarm system
Starting from June 1, 2026, new requirements for fire warning and evacuation management systems will come into force in Russia. The changes were approved by the Order of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia No. 133 and are based on the provisions of the Code of rules SP 3.13130. These standards are aimed at improving the effectiveness of warning systems and improving information to people in emergency situations.
According to the updated requirements, the volume of audio signals should exceed the background noise level by 10-15 decibels so that the alert can be heard even in noisy rooms. At the same time, the requirements for the quality of voice messages are increasing: the alert text must be legible on at least 90% of the object's area.
For buildings visited by foreign citizens, it is possible to broadcast messages in several languages at once. In addition, the new rules pay special attention to the accessibility of warning systems for people with hearing impairments. Light or tactile means of information should be used on the objects.
Simultaneously, on June 1, the code of rules SP 551.1311500.2026 comes into force, which establishes new fire safety requirements for buildings and sites intended for parking cars, motor vehicles, minibuses and personal mobility equipment.
Stricter control over foreign investments
Starting from June 7, 2026, amendments provided for by Federal Law No. 51-FZ will come into force in Russia, which tighten control over foreign investments in companies that are strategically important for the country's defense and security.
The document expands the list of activities recognized as strategic. In particular, it includes the production of fish products, pasture aquaculture of Pacific salmon, as well as certain types of subsurface use related to the extraction of oil, gas, gold, copper, rare earth metals, lithium and groundwater.
The new rules will affect foreign investors who own more than 50% of shares or stakes in strategic companies. Within a year after the law comes into force, they must either coordinate control over such enterprises with the state within the framework of the law on strategic investments, or reduce their share and notify the Federal Antimonopoly Service of Russia. Otherwise, the court may deprive the investor of the right to vote at shareholders' meetings.
Separate requirements are introduced for foreign participants of companies operating in the field of fish products and aquaculture. Investors who own at least 5% of shares or stakes in such organizations will have to provide information about their participation in the FAS within 180 days.
In addition, the law expands the list of transactions subject to prior approval. From now on, control will extend, among other things, to transactions with state and municipal property used for strategic activities.
Also, foreign investors will be required to disclose additional information about beneficiaries, supervisors and whether they have a residence permit or the right to permanent residence in foreign countries.
