Kolokoltsev explained the increase in taxes for migrants with families

From 2027, additional taxation will apply to each family member of a migrant arriving in Russia, said Interior Minister Vladimir Kolokoltsev, RBC correspondent reports. According to him, this will reduce the burden on the social sphere.

“From 2027, additional taxation will apply to each family member who arrives.” Everyone understands why. To reduce the burden on the entire social block, the minister said.

Kolokoltsev added that it is impossible to live in the country and use its benefits and opportunities, almost without paying taxes.

Changes in the taxation of foreign workers are already provided for by the adopted law. The State Duma approved the package of laws in the second and third readings on July 8. The main provisions will come into force on January 1, 2027.

We are not talking about a separate fee when entering Russia, but about increasing fixed advance payments on personal income tax. In particular, for foreigners working under a patent, the payment will increase by 50% for each dependent minor child in Russia. If the child contains several foreigners who pay an advance payment, the allowance will apply only to one of them at their choice, follows from the explanation “ConsultantPlus”.

The related law will oblige migrants to support themselves and family members in Russia at a level not lower than the subsistence minimum, taking into account the regional coefficient. Failure to comply with this requirement, the foreigner will not renew the patent or work permit. In case of cancellation or non-renewal of the patent, he will have to leave the country with minor children within 15 days.
