The State Duma did not support the "tax on dogs" – BBC

In the State Duma did not support the initiative of St. Petersburg legislators to introduce a tax on Russian domestic animals, according to «Moscow Speaks» with reference to the deputy Vladimir Fedotkin.

«During the last year We have already sketched many direct and indirect burdens on the population. Not a rich man, not an oligarch, he has a dog, and he can not afford to buy housing and medication. He owed for the dog, do not pay taxes. He will have to select a dog? I think that this type of tax is not justified either financially or morally, “- said a member of the Committee on Budget and Taxes.

Earlier it was reported that the St. Petersburg Legislative Assembly offered to impose dog owners tax and require them to register and re-register the animals.
