On 2 June, the State Duma (the lower chamber of the Russian Parliament) held parliamentary hearings regarding draft Main Directions for Tax Policy until 2018. The draft, in particular, provides for corporate profit tax benefits for greenfield projects and an increased initial value of depreciated property for tax purposes. It also sets a moratorium on an increased tax burden in Russia until 2018.
On 8 June, the Russian President signed Federal Law No. 150-FZ "On amending Part I and Part II of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation and article 3 of the Federal Law "On amending Part I and Part II of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation (with regard to taxation of profits of controlled foreign companies and income of foreign organisations)".
The Russian Government has adopted a partial moratorium on tax increases and new public payments up until 2019. The moratorium is to be applied to five levies and charges, including the environmental charge aimed at the disposal of waste generated through the consumption of goods. A shortlist of goods (battery, tyre, paper and mercury lamps) has been approved for which a charge of 5-10% of the value will be preserved, while the rest goods will be charged at 0% until 2019.
