OPINION POLLS

According to Russian Government estimates, just under 50% of a total of 86 million people of working age in Russia are believed to be employed in “non-transparent and barely understandable” entities; and according to the Central Bank of Russia, every tenth Russian company dodged tax payment last year. What do you think drives Russian employers into the shadow economy which is estimated to account for as much as 46% of Russia`s GDP?

Burdensome tax rates

Excessively complicated tax-paying regime

Inability to avoid red tape holdups and corruption if operating legally

Russians` innate drive to “dupe the system”
