In 2026, the VAT rate in Russia will increase from 20% to 22%. The law was signed by the president, and the changes will affect most companies operating under the general taxation system. Businesses will have to adapt prices, contracts, and budgeting to the new tax burden.

The State Duma has approved an increase in VAT to 22% from 2026, while maintaining a preferential rate for socially important goods. The change will be the largest tax reform in recent years and will bring more than 4.4 trillion rubles to the budget over a three-year horizon.
