Overall taxation in Russia may seem high or low to you, depending on your home country.<\/p>\n

The two most noticeable taxes in Russia, for private individuals, are income tax<\/a> and VAT.<\/p>\n

Russian income tax is a flat 13% for those with tax residency in Russia (defined as spending 183 days or more in a calendar year). Expatriates who spend less than 183 days per calendar year in Russia must pay 30% income tax on any income from sources in Russia.<\/p>\n

Standard VAT is 18%; while food, magazines, and other items may be taxed at 10%. VAT is included in the labeled price.<\/p>\n

There are also extensive social taxes for healthcare and pensions; however, the bulk of these is paid by the employer (not the employee).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
