The Federal Tax Service (FTS) of Russia has begun sending notices to Russians who left the war in Kazakhstan about the need to pay personal income tax (PIT) for 2022-23 at the full rate. About this reported the The Moscow Times, citing lawyers.
According to them, these are Russians who worked in Kazakhstani companies and paid individual income tax (IIT) in the republic at a rate of 5 to 20%.
Despite this, the Federal Service for Internal Affairs (FPS) in its requirements assumes that the Russians were working remotely from Russian territory.
Requests for advice regarding double taxation of labor income received in Kazakhstan are becoming massive, says Ilya Nazarov, managing partner of GidPrava Consulting Group.
According to him, the problem affected both line employees who perform current operations in Kazakhstani companies and managers. At the same time, they all work in Kazakhstan and pay local taxes.
In practice, the Federal Tax Service inspectors assume that if a person retained the status of a tax resident of Russia (that is, they were in the country for at least 183 days during a calendar year), then they could not work for a Kazakhstani company other than remotely.
