In the Irkutsk region, the fee for patents for foreign workers will increase in 2024.
In the Irkutsk region, the coefficient for calculating the fixed advance payment for patents for foreign workers has been increased for 2024.
Thus, the cost of the patent will rise from 7,984 rubles this year to 9,144 rubles in 2024.
According to the authors of the initiative, the increase in the cost of the patent will ensure the region’s budget receives 2.8 billion rubles.
The Minister of Labor and Employment of the Irkutsk region, Kirill Klokov, stated that the coefficient was calculated using statistical data on the average salary in the Irkutsk region, which is 70,000 rubles. To ensure equal tax burden for all working citizens, the fixed advance payment has been set at 9,144 rubles for the patent, he reported.
It was previously reported that in some other cities and regions of Russia, the fee for patents for foreign workers will also increase.
Russian officials link the increase in the patent fee for foreign workers to the rise in average wages and the protection of local residents’ rights in the labor market, while authorities aim to ensure larger revenues for local budgets.
Experts believe that the increase in the patent fee will hit Tajik labor migrants hard and complicate their lives even further.
