In addition to budget funds, an additional source of financing is needed for the purchase of expensive drugs for sick children. This was stated by the Member of the State Duma Committee on Health Protection Alexey Chicken on Radio Station “says Moscow.”
The deputy suggested to treat children at the expense of rich and super-rich. He believes that there should be a normal progressive scale of taxation, which “will collect not 60 billion on sick kids, and in the area of two trillion rubles.” Funds can be sent to those industries where money is not enough, chicken noted.
Earlier, the leader of the Communist Party of Gennady Zyuganov proposed to introduce an increased tax on “suspiciously rich” people in Russia. He put forward such initiative, commenting on the proposal of the Mintruda to limit “suspiciously poor” families of payments for children aged three to seven years.
The leader of the “United Russia faction” in the State Duma Sergey Neverov answered the offer of Zyuganov, stating that such a tax is already there. He stressed that the income of Russians, who earn more than five million rubles per year are taxed.
In late January, it became known that the Federal Tax Service (FTS) will create a special inspection for VIP clients and will consider taxes of rich Russians separately. Inspection clients will be Russians, the incomes of which exceed 500 million rubles per year.
