Russia Defers Taxes for Soldiers Mobilized for Ukraine Invasion

By: William Hoke

 

The Russian government said qualifying small business owners who have been mobilized for the war in Ukraine can defer payment of some taxes and fees beyond the duration of their service.

 

President Vladimir Putin ordered a partial mobilization of 300,000 reservists on September 21, shortly after Ukrainian forces launched an unexpected offensive against Russian troops occupying a large swathe of southeastern Ukraine. According to media reports, many young Russians who are subject to mobilization have fled the country. Those who remain will be allowed a tax deferral.

 

The government news agency, TASS, reported October 22 that Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed off on a regulation authorizing self-employed individuals who were mobilized to defer the payment of taxes other than personal income tax for the duration of their service, plus three months.

 

The Federal Tax Service said October 22 that the extension applies to the payment of special employment tax, social security contributions, and the filing of tax returns. Qualifying service members will be able to pay off their accumulated tax debts over six monthly installments, the tax agency said.
