Russia revises insurance premium, minimum wage, payroll reports, tax withheld period, notification, and payment due dates

Changes in threshold for insurance premium

The social security premium is calculated at 30% until the income reaches the established threshold. After that the premium is reduced to 15.1%. Effective from January 1, 2024, the threshold is established at RUB 2,225,000 as per Government Decree No. 1883 issued on 10th November 2023.

The threshold is applicable for pension insurance, medical care, and social insurance. The contribution for occupation and accident insurance is made on the entire amount of taxable income.

Changes in minimum wage

Effective 1 January 2024, the minimum wage has been increased to RUB 19,242 per month, as per Federal Law No. 548-FZ of 27 November 2023.

New retention periods for tax withheld, notifications and payment

Previously, the tax was withheld from the 23rd day of the previous month to the 22nd day of the current month. Now, the personal income tax will have to be withheld twice a month.

Paragraph 6 of Article 226 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation has been amended in this regard.

The retention periods and respective deadlines effective from 1 January 2024 are as followsꓽ
