Russia will introduce a new tax \u2014 the “technology tax”, from 2026, announced on Tuesday the press service of the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade (Minpromtorg).<\/strong><\/p>\n

This tax will be levied on electronic and technical equipment, which are largely imported on the Russian market. “In the first stage, it will be applied to finished electronic products, such as laptops, smartphones, and lighting fixtures,” the ministry conveyed, quoted by RBC. Subsequently, the tax will also extend to the components and electronic modules used in the assembly of these products.<\/p>\n

The administration of the tax will be the responsibility of the Ministry of Industry, and the obligation to pay will fall on the manufacturers and importers of electronics. In reality, however, the tax will be borne by consumers \u2014 suppliers will include it in the final price, notes economist Evgheni Kogan from the Higher School of Economics.<\/p>\n

The maximum fixed value of the technology tax will be 5,000 rubles (\u224850 euros) per unit of product, according to sources Vedomosti<\/em> close to the Ministry of Finance and Minpromtorg. The list of products subject to the tax will be gradually approved by the government: initially only finished goods will be targeted, with the range of electronic components to be extended in a few years.<\/p>\n
