Russia’s interior ministry has initiated additional tax payments affecting migrant workers who bring non-working relatives, Russian media report, citing Interior Minister Vladimir Kolokoltsev’s remarks to the Federation Council.
The minister said the additional taxation of accompanying family members was envisaged from 2027, with the aim of reducing pressure on social services.
The report does not specify rates, payment procedures or exemptions. A family’s actual costs cannot be assessed without the final enacted legislation. For workers from neighbouring countries, the scope of taxpayers and treatment of dependants will be crucial.
