Our English speaking consultants are ready to advise on Russian and international Personal income tax matters
Individuals who are defined as “Russian tax residents,” i.e. those who have been in the country for 183 days or more during any 12 consecutive months, are subject to individual income tax on all their income, both income earned in Russia and income earned elsewhere. Individuals who do not meet this criterion are subject to tax on any income received from Russian sources

For whom is Personal Income Tax applicable?
