The Russian government economic and social blocs discussed whether to keep or revoke the compulsory funded component in the contribution to the Russian Pension Fund1. Meanwhile, a decision was made to recover, effective 1.01.2016, the funded pension component. Presumably, Russia would apply to the World Bank for a due diligence of the Russian pension system. The Russian Finance Ministry has prepared a draft “The Main Guidelines of Tax Policy for 2016–2018”, which provides for no tax increase until 2018.
