Andrzej Kublik: Gazeta Wyborcza:‘In Russia, the bill for the war is rising’. Companies pay higher CIT and PIT has been differentiated to 22 percent. As of 2026 VAT will increase to 22 percent, which is expected to fund the money by 1 trillion rubles. Pandemic reliefs for industries are besides being removed. Russia is increasingly hard to keep its budget, due to the fact that oil prices are falling, rubel is getting stronger and war costs are rising. The deficit has already exceeded 4 trillion rubles and is increasing.”
