- The standard VAT rate will increase from 20% to 22% starting 2026; the reduced 10% rate remains unchanged.
- New, lower annual income thresholds for VAT liability under Simplified (УСН) and Patent (ПСН) regimes: 20 million RUB (2026), 15 million RUB (2027), 10 million RUB (2028+).
- Exceeding these thresholds triggers mandatory VAT registration from the following year.
- Newly VAT-liable businesses can opt for the standard 22% VAT rate with input VAT deductions for four quarters.
- No penalties for late filing of the first VAT return in 2026 for new VAT payers; these changes are part of a broader tax reform package.
