A project of state legislation proposing an introduction of tax for small-child / childfree families was given to Putin for reviewing by the Institute of demographics and regional development.
The project contains measures of financial support for large families depending on the number of children, also packages of free services such as free vacations, gym subscription, theatre tickets, material support (musical instruments, sports gear, etc.) and housing priority. Also, the project proposes inclusion of time spent upbringing children into labor history (affects pension size), meaning in effect that a mother looking after children will be seen as being as productive as somebody working in a factory, moving young families to new apartment blocks with advanced infrastructure and compensating 20% of mortgage for each kid, starting from fourth.
The size of tax for small-child / childfree families is not yet defined. This project is merely in the stage of proposal and, if given green light by Putin, will still see a lot of edits and may not pass the Duma / Senate hearings.
