(ANSA) - MOSCOW, MARCH 25 - President Vladimir Putin has asked for the imposition of a 15% tax on capital that is exported from Russia and the introduction of a 13% tax (therefore equivalent to income tax) on interest generated by financial investments (but only if the capital invested is greater than 1 million rubles, or approximately 12 thousand euros at the current exchange rate). The proceeds will be used to finance anti-crisis social measures. In practice it is a tax on the oligarchs and the wealthier Russian class.
