According to the calculations of the publication based on the data of the Ministry of Finance, Russian taxes related to oil, last month, decreased by almost 33% to 710.4 billion rubles. ($ 8.9 billion).
The total income from oil and gas amounted to 787.3 billion rubles, which is 27% less than the corresponding period of the last year.
The fall of oil and gas revenues is approximately a third of the budget revenues of the Russian Federation, the agency notes. This will increase the pressure on the Russian State Budget, already burdened with significant combat costs in Ukraine.
Also, according to Bloomberg, Russian oil revenues last month increased by almost 71%. Such an increase is explained by the fact that one of the main Russian oil taxes, income tax, is paid quarterly – in March, April, July and October.
Strengthening the currency also contributed to a decrease in income. After all, the publication writes, oil companies receive less rubles for each barrel, which is pumped and sold.
In June, the Russian currency was traded on average for 78.7183 rubles. For $ 1, which is the highest indicator for more than two years, the media notes.
As a result, as evidenced by Bloomberg, oil producers in the country received 4711 rubles. For each barrel sold compared to 6127 rubles. A year ago.
