However, just two source “Gazety.Ru” denied the reports that the Ministry of Finance introduced the bill to the government.

Sales Tax (EPT) – an indirect tax levied on buyers when they purchase goods or services. As a rule, it is calculated as a percentage of the value of goods or services. NSP was introduced in Russia twice. The first time the NRS in the amount of 5% was introduced in 1991 as a replacement for a pre-existing sales tax. The funds collected went to the stabilization of the monetary circulation in the USSR, as well as providing support programs for the poor.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union has been replaced by the NRS to value added tax. However, in 1998 the government allowed the region to make a decision on the introduction of a sales tax on its territory in the range from 0 to 5%. In this case, the fees from the NSP shared between regional and municipal budgets in the proportion of 40 to 60.
Introduction of the NRS has caused discontent among the Russian business. A number of entrepreneurs appealed to the Constitutional Court (CC) to assess the introduction of the tax. In January 2003, the COP decided that the NRS violates the constitutional principle of equal tax burden and creates additional benefits for businesses operating by wire transfer. As a result, from January 1, 2004 the sales tax was repealed.
The question of the return of the NRS was raised again in 2012. Then Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich spoke in favor of the idea of replacing VAT with a sales tax, and also said that the government has worked out such options. However, the statement was not supported by Dvorkovich ministries. The then head of the Ministry of Finance Alexei Kudrin criticized proposals Dvorkovich and promised he would not allow replacing VAT NSP. A similar position was made and Economic Development. Led by the Ministry Nabiullina noted that Russia should be less taxes and more activities on the property.
