Such a decision to match tax rates with income would render Russia's personal income tax de facto progressive.

The Finance Ministry and CSR are even working on their own reform proposals, the Vedomosti newspaper has reported. The Finance Ministry, the Economic Development Ministry and the Center for Strategic Research (CSR) are actively developing reforms for the Russian tax system. But a series of reform proposals could push the country towards a progressive alternative. Russia has long prided itself on its simple 13 percent flat income tax rate.
