  • New Trade Levy in Moscow: Who Pays and How?
    Tax Flash Report by PwC experts New trade levy in Moscow: who pays and how? December 2014 / Issue No. 47 In brief In November, we discussed in Tax Flash Report No. 38 the introduction of a new local tax - trade levy - to the Russian Tax Code. It will be charged in Moscow starting from 1 July 2015. It is expected that it will be charged in St Petersburg starting from 2016. On 17 December, the Moscow State Duma adopted a law setting out trade levy rates and benefits (http://depr.mos.ru/legislation/normative-legal-acts-of-moscow/1479701/). The Moscow authorities have not introduced maximum tax rates (permissible under the Tax Code) and, instead, set out differentiated rates for three areas of the city. For example, a store with a retail area of 1,000 sq. metres located in the city's Central Administrative District will pay RUB 430,000 annually. In detail Who will NOT pay trade levy in Moscow? In Moscow, the following activities will not be subject to the new trade levy: retail using vending machines; sales at weekend bazaars, special and regional bazaars; sales through stationary or non-stationary distribution networks located in retail markets; peddling retail in buildings, structures and premises under the management of autonomous, budgetary and public institutions. Federal mail service, autonomous, budgetary and public institutions (regardless of their activity) are also exempt from this levy. What rates did the Moscow authorities set? The levy rates are differentiated for three areas (taxpayers engaged in retail operations in the
