Self-Employed Day in Russia
November 27 · Level 3 · #1619 of 2238
Self-Employed Day in Russia is an unofficial holiday for people who work for themselves: freelancers, tutors, craftspeople, drivers and many more. It reminds everyone that this kind of work has its own joys and its own worries.
How it is celebrated: meetups and webinars offer advice on taxes and bookkeeping, people swap tips on finding clients, and colleagues congratulate each other in professional chats.
The tax on professional income began as an experiment on 1 January 2019 in Moscow, the Moscow and Kaluga regions and Tatarstan. People can pay it and issue receipts through the My Tax app.
