Russia is ready to change the approach to NDFL for the rich and poor, Candidate of Economic Sciences Mikhail Belyaev believes. He told Lente.ru that there is both economic and socio-economic need for this.
Previously, State Duma deputies Yaroslav Nilov and Mikhail Ochapov proposed to reduce to zero tax on the income of low-income citizens. The idea of picking up to half income was also sounded.
“The income difference between the poor and rich is growing enough. Probably, we have already come to the edge, when some solution in this area will be accepted. Of course, not so radical, as Mr. Schap offers. Such populist options need Mark, “the economist emphasized.
According to Belyaeva, it should be slightly increasing tax for the rich, as well as completely cancel it for the poor. He believes that this should be done as people receiving minimal salary, after paying taxes, find themselves in the zone below the subsistence minimum.
In addition, the economist considers it important to bring order in the gray area of employment, which employs 15 million people out of 75 million workers, which is a rather high indicator compared to other countries.
