05.11.2024
Under Decree No. 1457 of the Government of Russia of 31.10.2024 “Concerning the Unified Maximum Amount of the Base for the Calculation of Social Contributions from 1 January 2025”, the maximum amount of the base for the calculation of social contributions is to rise from 2,225,000 rubles to 2,759,000 rubles.
Given that the 30% rate will continue to apply up to the maximum base amount and 15.1% will be charged on anything above, a company’s total burden will increase by 79,566 rubles per highly paid employee.
The increase in the maximum base amount is to take effect from 1 January 2025.
