FTS identifies 8 million Russians with hidden income

The Federal Tax Service has identified 8 million Russian citizens whose income is not reflected in official databases. This refers to the working-age population who lack registered sources of earnings.

The category of hidden income includes unemployed individuals, students, and those dependent on relatives. This statistic highlights the scale of informal employment in the country.

Many freelancers may find themselves on this list. The lack of official status often means that the tax service cannot see their actual financial flows.
