According to him, this situation needs to be corrected, as Russian President Vladimir Putin promised this.

“We forgot to change the income tax in the right direction for some non-participants of the free economic zone. Vladimir Putin has repeatedly said that the situation for Crimeans will not worsen compared to what it was in Ukraine, but today we have a situation worse than it was with regard to income tax under Ukraine. Our regional rate is 15,5%. And in Ukraine for Crimeans this rate was 14%. Therefore, we must level out this situation,” Khor noted.
