The Ministry of Labor proposed to establish the payment of taxes for the self-employed on online platforms, intermediary platforms between the executor of the order and the client, such as Yandex or Sberbank aggregators. This was reported by Vedomosti with reference to the participants in the discussion on the regulation of platform employment, which is being held in a special working group on labor and social policy in the State Duma.
The Federal Tax Service, according to interlocutors of the publication, supported the initiative.

As one of the newspaper’s interlocutors specified, the probability that the norm will be included in the bill is high, but much will depend on the final decision of the Federal Tax Service.
