The media learned about the possible repayment of sales tax

The government’s economic bloc discusses the option of returning sales tax within the framework of tax maneuver, writes Vedomosti with reference to federal officials.

According to the newspaper, after the introduction of a control control equipment (CCP), it will be easy to administer. The tax can be an alternative to the Ministry of Finance of the Ministry of Finance to reduce the insurance premium to 22% and increase VAT to 22%.

According to one of the interlocutors of the publication, this is not about the classic tax on sales, but about the trade fee, which will allow sellers not to allocate it in the check and not increase the price by the amount of tax. The collection, the source clarifies, should not exceed 2-3%.
