In March Vladimir Putin announced plans to raise rates for capital withdrawal abroad. Also, he instructed the government to adjust the agreements on the avoidance of double taxation with countries where the income of Russians is withdrawn. He said that Moscow would unilaterally withdraw from such agreements with the states that are not going to raise taxes on dividends.
