The Russian government has submitted a package of amendments to the country's tax code to the State Duma as part of its broader budget legislation, according to the business daily Kommersant.
The proposed changes include an expansion of the tax monitoring mechanism, a system that allows for closer, more continuous oversight of large taxpayers in exchange for reduced audit burdens. The amendments would broaden which companies can or must participate in the program.
The package also proposes raising fines for tax violations, reflecting an effort by authorities to strengthen compliance and enforcement as the government manages its budget needs.
In addition, the amendments would tighten the tax treatment of controlled foreign companies, entities based abroad but owned or controlled by Russian taxpayers, a category that has been subject to increasing regulatory attention as Russia seeks to limit the use of offshore structures.
The proposals are part of a broader budget package submitted to the State Duma, Russia's lower house of parliament, which will need to review and approve the measures before they can take effect.
No specific timeline for the Duma's consideration of the tax amendments was given in the report.
