Russia mulling to fight low salaries in taxes

Deputy Prime Minister of Russia, President of the President in the Far Eastern Federal District (DFO) Yuri Trutnev proposed to increase taxes on dividends for enterprises that do not ensure the growth of employee wages at least at the inflation level. During the performance on the Forum “Prodfo – Khabarovsk Territory”, he promised to convey the appropriate proposal to the premiere Mikhail Mishuvina, RIA Novosti reports.

The official pointed out that the inhabitants of the region in the list of main problems most often call price increase in stores in the absence of growth in their income. In his opinion, in many respects the perpetrators of the problem are private companies receiving super-profits.

The idea of ​​Trutnev is to directly associate the level of dividend tax with indexation of wages. It should force the owners of “sharing” profit in one way or another.

According to the vice-premier, the government is making a lot of effort to keep prices for price, but just so freeze them will not work. In this case, the country will fall out of the world economy and will return to the Soviet Union. ” In the pressure on the enterprises to change their economic model, the official does not see such a danger.

Previously, the president of the country Vladimir Putin said about the need for private companies to share super-profits. Later, during the report in the State Duma, Mishoustin accused of growing prices “greed” of retail chains and manufacturers. At the same time, he warned that the Government could set up new taxes of the company, withdrawing money abroad.
