- Russia’s parliament proposed a draft law to boost domestic drone production.
- The proposal includes a zero VAT rate for civil UAVs made in the EAEU weighing 0.15 to 30 kg.
- The zero VAT rate also covers sales of engines, spare parts, and components for production and repair.
- The import of these spare parts and components will also have a zero VAT rate.
- The draft was submitted to the State Duma on 8 July 2025.
- Currently, the zero VAT rate applies only to UAVs over 30 kg.
- To qualify, taxpayers must provide a sales contract, a register extract, and transfer documents.
- The zero VAT rate is expected to last until 31 December 2027, with a possible extension.
- If adopted, the law takes effect one month after publication, but not before the next VAT period starts.
