Russia has drafted a new VAT law that will require foreign e-commerce sellers to register and collect tax on direct sales to Russian consumers. This requirement specifically targets transactions below the customs duty exempt thresholds set by the Eurasian Economic Union. The VAT rate will begin at 5% in 2027 and is scheduled to rise progressively to 20% by 2030. Sellers will need to calculate the tax monthly based on received payments and remit it to the Russian government by the 28th day of the following month, with public feedback on the proposal currently being accepted.
