So Long, Speeding Tickets! 💰🚦
Modifications in traffic regulations, enhanced benefits, and pension disbursements: what are the anticipated alterations in daily life in Russia this May
Welcome to May, the month when crossing railway tracks while ignoring traffic rules will cost you 5,000 rubles, a small fortune compared to the old fines. But don't let the lengthy train whistle lull you into a false sense of security, driving straight onto those tracks may land you a six-month license suspension for your reckless action. Even worse, if you've done this more than once, watch out for a full year's ban! 🚫
Worker bees on transit 🚌
Public transportation staff, take note: ejecting underage riders without an adult supervisor will cost you 5,000 rubles. For conductors ready to cash in on the pain, think again; the fine for you can go up to a hefty 30,000 rubles. Crazy, huh? Let's try to keep our passengers as happy as a group of school kids on a field trip! 🚃
Tax time, made easy 💸
Tax season is upon us, but this year there's some good news for us, the tax-paying Russians. As of May 21, tax deductions on personal income tax can be easily claimed through the Federal Tax Service's online account. No more daunting paperwork or lengthy visits to the tax office for deductions on housing purchases, loan interest, or investments. So, grab some popcorn and a cozy chair, this year's tax season just got a whole lot easier! 🍿
COVID-19, round 2 🦠
All you frequent flyers returning from abroad after May 1, brace yourself for an extra layer of security. Not only do you need a PCR test to enter the motherland, but you'll also have to undergo another test within five days. So remember, don't breathe on us, and we won't breathe on you! 😷
Pensioners, living it up!
In the world of politics and policy-and-legislation, the government has been imposing stricter measures for railway safety, such as levying 5,000 rubles for crossing railway tracks and even suspending one's license for six months or more for repeated offenses. On the contrary, tax-paying Russians can look forward to streamlined personal income tax deductions this tax season, with the Federal Tax Service's online account offering a straightforward process for claims. This development in general-news is sure to bring a sigh of relief to many.
