Komersant reports that the government plans to split a single tax bill into three separate drafts. The stated approach is to handle platform taxation, a 5% military levy for sole proprietors, and customs changes on parcels in separate legislative tracks.
The same reporting notes that the VAT requirement for FOPs is not expected to be introduced now, as authorities plan to negotiate flexibility with the IMF. This reframes the reform as a sequence of smaller votes rather than one large package.
For business, the structure matters because it changes legislative timing and the probability of partial adoption. Separate bills can pass or stall independently, which affects compliance planning and cash flow forecasts.
Investors should watch the vote calendar and the final scope of each bill. The mix of fiscal measures will influence operating costs for SMEs and digital platform businesses in particular.
