As part of the digital ruble testing program, starting next year, the Federal Treasury may start collecting taxes from citizens of the Russian Federation with its help.
About this opportunity the head of the departmentRoman Artyukhin said in an interview with Izvestia. According to him, at the first stage, the collection of taxes in this form will practically not affect business due to the wide range of types of payments applied to companies. For citizens, the situation is simpler; in fact, they will transfer digital rubles from their wallets.
Tax collection in a new formmoney can begin during the launch of pilot testing of the Central Bank in 2022.
Roman Artyukhin believes that the digital rublecan significantly simplify the tracking of the movement of funds in the economy in various payment transactions, including the government and banking sectors. According to him, if the new form of money is adapted to new conditions and is useful, it will be able to displace cash in the future.
In April, representatives of the Bank of Russia also reported that if the pilot project is successful, the digital ruble could reach the masses in 2023.
