The change

Russia's State Duma approved amendments to Article 145 of the Tax Code (Bill No. 1256655-8) freezing the VAT-exemption revenue threshold for small businesses on the simplified tax system (USN) at RUB 20 million through 2028, superseding the previously scheduled step-down to RUB 15 million in 2027; under the new schedule the threshold drops to RUB 15 million in 2029 and RUB 10 million in 2030.
