Russia's Finance Ministry is raising taxes on mining companies and wealthy citizens to fund increased military spending as oil and gas revenues decline to a projected 16.2 percent of total revenue.

Russia's finance ministry raises taxes to bolster military budget
Russia's Finance Ministry is raising taxes on mining companies and wealthy citizens to fund increased military spending as oil and gas revenues decline to a projected 16.2 percent of total revenue. The Defense Ministry will delay December salary payments for military personnel until January, breaking an 18-year practice of timely disbursement. This shift reflects a widening budget deficit driven by sustained wartime expenditure. The tax increases target alternative revenue streams as energy income shrinks, while the payroll delay signals immediate cash-flow pressure on the defense budget.
Why it matters
Russia's fiscal architecture is undergoing a structural shift as hydrocarbon dependence wanes and war costs mount. Oil and gas, once the budget's backbone, now cover only a fraction of revenue, forcing Moscow to lean harder on miners and high earners. The salary postponement marks the first such disruption since 2008, underscoring that deficit management now directly affects frontline personnel. These moves reveal how the Kremlin is prioritizing military throughput over domestic stability and predictable payrolls.
What is confirmed
- Oil and gas revenues are expected to provide only 16.2 percent of Russia's total revenue.
- Russia's Defense Ministry will postpone December salary payments for military personnel until January.
- The postponed payments end an 18-year practice of timely military salary disbursement.

The move ends an 18-year practice of timely payments. This decision comes as Russia shifts its revenue base toward mining companies and wealthy citizens, with oil and gas revenues expected to provide only 16.2 percent of total revenue.
Why it matters
Russia is implementing higher domestic taxes and borrowing to sustain a record military budget of 17.15 trillion rubles or $212.5 billion for 2027-29, accounting for 35.2 percent of all federal spending. The country's budget deficit is growing, with Russia's national debt at $522.4B and debt-to-GDP ratio of 24.03 percent.

Russian Government reviews 2024 budget execution amid military spending hike
The Russian government is reviewing federal budget execution for the first nine months of 2024. This review occurs as Russia implements higher domestic taxes and borrowing to sustain a record military budget. Planned spending for the National Defense chapter in the 2027-29 budget is 17.15 trillion rubles, or US$212.5 billion, which accounts for 35.2 percent of all federal spending. The state is shifting its revenue base toward mining companies and wealthy citizens because oil and gas revenues are expected to provide only 16.2 percent of total revenue.
Why it matters
Russia faces shrinking liquid reserves and slowing economic growth. The government is prioritizing military funding and infrastructure, including the North-South international transport corridor and logistics in the Azov-Black Sea and Eastern directions.
What is confirmed

Russia Raises Taxes to Fund 2027 Military Budget
Russia is increasing domestic taxes and borrowing to fund a record military budget as economic growth slows and liquid reserves shrink. The 2027-29 state budget, approved on its first vote in parliament, sets planned spending under the National Defense chapter to 17.15 trillion rubles, or US$212.5 billion, representing 35.2 percent of all federal spending. The government faces shrinking oil and gas revenues, which are expected to supply only 16.2 percent of total revenue. Mining companies and wealthier citizens face the brunt of the new levies.
Why it matters
The Kremlin relies increasingly on domestic taxpayers and borrowing rather than oil revenues to maintain its military commitments. This financial pivot aims to keep the state deficit near 2 percent of GDP without completely draining remaining liquid reserves. While a late-summer spike in world oil prices provided some relief, new fiscal rules require most of that windfall to be saved rather than spent.
What is confirmed
- Planned spending under the National Defense chapter rises to 17.15 trillion rubles (US$212.5 billion) in 2027.
- National Defense spending accounts for 35.2 percent of all federal spending in the 2027 budget.
- Oil and gas are expected to supply only 16.2 percent of state revenue under the new budget framework.
- The 2027-29 state budget was approved in the parliament on the first of three votes.
What to watch next
- The remaining parliamentary votes on the 2027-29 state budget.
- Future adjustments to domestic tax enforcement on mining companies and wealthy citizens.
- Movements in world oil prices and their impact on Russia's liquid reserve funds.

Russia raises taxes to fund record military budget
Russia's finance ministry is increasing taxes to support a record military budget for 2027. The draft budget allocates a significant share to defense and security, surpassing spending on social services. This shift comes as the government reduces reliance on oil and gas revenues, instead turning to domestic taxes and borrowing. Some regions are diverting funds meant for orphans and foster children to cover war payments.
Why it matters
The tax increase and budget reallocation are responses to mounting economic pressure from sustained military expenditures on the Ukraine war. Russia's war spending has reached $200 billion annually, straining the country's finances. The 2027 budget reveals the Kremlin's priorities and the limits of its spending capacity.
What is confirmed
- Russia's 2027 draft budget allocates a record share of federal spending to defense and security.
- Russia is spending over $200 billion a year on its war in Ukraine.
- The 2027 defense budget is RUB 17.15 trillion, a record for the chapter in any Russian budget law and 41.5 per cent more than the 2026 law provided.
- Russian federal budget spending linked to the war against Ukraine reached a record 10.687 trillion rubles ($123.4 billion) in the first half of 2026.

Russia allocates record budget share to defense and security for 2027
Russia's 2027 draft budget allocates a record share of federal spending to defense and security. This fiscal shift prioritizes military funding over social services. Some regions are diverting funds intended for orphans and foster children to cover war payments. These budget priorities come as the government moves away from oil and gas revenues toward domestic taxes and borrowing to sustain military expenditures.
Why it matters
The government is balancing rising debt interest costs against a real terms reduction in overall spending. This transition places higher pressure on domestic markets and taxpayers. The 2027-2029 planning period reflects a long-term commitment to military spending.
What is confirmed
- The 2027 draft budget allocates a record share to defense and security.
- The Russian government is reviewing the draft federal budget and socioeconomic development forecast for 2025 and the 2026-2027 planning period.

Russia Shifts 2027 Budget Toward Domestic Taxes and Defense
Russia has allocated 17.1 trillion roubles to national defense in its draft budget for 2027, consuming around 35 per cent of all federal government spending. The fiscal framework shifts the financial burden away from oil and gas revenues and onto domestic taxes while simultaneously planning a real terms reduction in overall spending. To sustain these rising expenditures, the government is leaning harder on domestic borrowing and increased taxation, even as mounting debt interest costs create severe economic pressures on domestic markets.
Why it matters
The strategic realignment of state revenue reflects growing fiscal strain as Moscow attempts to fund its ongoing war effort amid fluctuating energy markets. By pivoting away from traditional oil and gas earnings toward domestic taxation and borrowing, the finance ministry is attempting to plug budget deficits. However, economic analysts warn that this heavy reliance on internal debt instruments and tax increases risks destabilizing domestic markets.
What is confirmed
- Russia has allocated 17.1 trillion roubles to national defence in its draft budget for 2027.
- National defence accounts for around 35 per cent of all federal government spending in the 2027 draft budget.
- Russia's 2027 budget shifts the fiscal burden away from oil and gas and onto domestic taxes.
- The government is planning a real terms reduction in overall spending while boosting defence.
Still unconfirmed
- Russia's finance ministry is advancing plans for a proposed standard value-added tax rate increase to 22% alongside corporate windfalls, e-commerce levies, and passive income taxes.
What to watch next
- Legislative debates and formal approval votes regarding the 2027 draft budget in the Russian parliament.
- Further adjustments to domestic borrowing targets and tax rates by the finance ministry.
- Indicators showing the impact of climbing debt interest costs on domestic market stability.

Russia Floats Tax Hikes and $202B Defense Budget for 2027
Russia faces severe fiscal strain as the finance ministry advances plans for massive tax increases alongside a proposed 17.1 trillion ruble national defense budget for 2027. The sweeping fiscal package, which includes a proposed standard value-added tax rate increase to 22%, aims to support surging military expenditures that now consume roughly 35% of total federal spending. While the government attempts to sustain its ongoing war effort through corporate windfalls, e-commerce levies, and passive income taxes, economic analysts warn that the federal budget is significantly imbalanced and growing debt pressures are destabilizing domestic markets.
Why it matters
The Russian government submitted a three-year budget plan to parliament to fund ongoing military operations against Ukraine. This aggressive spending path creates an acute widening of the federal deficit, projected at $65 billion by 2027. Domestic bond market strain highlights the heavy toll these military allocations exact on the broader economy.
What is confirmed
- Russia plans to allocate 17.1 trillion rubles, or $202.6 billion, for national defense in its proposed 2027 budget.
- The proposed 2027 defense spending accounts for approximately 35% of total federal spending.
Still unconfirmed
- Russia faces a $65 billion budget deficit in 2027 as war spending rises and its domestic bond market shows growing strain.
- The Ministry of Finance proposed to raise the standard VAT rate to 22% with amendments entering into force on January 1, 2026.

- Parliamentary debate and final adoption of the three-year budget plan

Russia raises taxes to fund 27% increase in defense spending
Russia plans to increase defense spending to 17.1 trillion rubles in 2027, a 27% rise, and will fund this through tax hikes on corporate windfalls, e-commerce, and passive income. The military budget will account for 6.3% of GDP, with every ruble allocated to social policy, health, and education matched by double that amount for the army, police, and security services.
Why it matters
This signals the Kremlin's expectation of a prolonged war in Ukraine. Russia's military budget increase has significant implications for the country's economy and its ongoing conflict with Ukraine. The tax hikes are expected to generate revenue to support the increased defense spending.
What is confirmed
- Russia's population is about 146.7 million people.
- Russia is the largest country in the world by total area, with 17,098,242 square kilometers.
- The Russian Prosecutor General's Office requested the handover of ICC President Tomoko Akane from Dutch authorities.

What is confirmed

Russia raises 2027 defense spending to 17.1 trillion rubles
Russia will increase defense spending by 27% to 17.1 trillion rubles in 2027 to sustain its war in Ukraine. To fund this expenditure and cover deficits, the finance ministry is implementing tax hikes on corporate windfalls, e-commerce, and passive income. These funds will specifically support the modernization of defense industry enterprises and the procurement of weaponry for the armed forces. The current military budget represents 6.3% of GDP, a level President Vladimir Putin has described as unsustainable in the long term.
Why it matters
The budget shift indicates that conflict has become a primary priority for the Kremlin. Russia is now entering the fifth year of its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The state is relying on a combination of higher levies and increased debt to maintain its war footing.
What is confirmed
- Russia plans to spend 17.1 trillion rubles on defense in 2027.
- The 2027 defense budget represents a 27% increase over the 13.5 trillion rubles originally budgeted.
- The finance ministry is raising taxes on passive income, e-commerce, and corporate windfalls to fund the military budget.

Russia Raises Taxes to Fund War Budget Deficit
Russia's finance ministry has submitted a draft budget proposal for 2027 through 2029 that includes a fresh round of tax hikes designed to bolster the military budget and cover growing deficits. The financial plan introduces tax increases targeting passive income, e-commerce, and corporate windfalls as Moscow struggles to sustain the soaring costs of its war in Ukraine. Projected military spending for 2027 is set to increase by 27% to reach 17.1 trillion rubles. An economist notes that raising taxes on passive income alone could generate an additional 700 billion rubles annually for the state budget.
Why it matters
Moscow faces deepening budget deficits driven by the escalating costs of its military campaign against Ukraine. Frequent long-range strikes by Ukrainian armed forces on strategically important targets have forced Russia to increase spending to counter these attacks. To sustain these financial pressures, the government projected a budget deficit equal to 2% of the gross domestic product for the next three years.
What is confirmed
- Russia's Finance Ministry submitted its draft budget proposal for 2027-29 on Thursday, introducing a fresh round of tax increases.
- Russia plans to boost 2027 military spending by 27% to 17.1 trillion roubles.
- The Russian government projected a budget deficit equal to 2% of the gross domestic product for the next three years.
- The new tax measures target passive income, e-commerce, and corporate windfalls.
Still unconfirmed
- Raising taxes on passive income could bring Russia's budget an additional 700 billion rubles a year, according to an economist.
What to watch next
- Legislative votes and formal approval of the 2027-29 draft budget proposal in the Russian parliament.

- Developments in long-range Ukrainian strikes and corresponding shifts in Russian counter-attack spending.
