If now the average price of a pack of 40 rubles, after the entry into force of the amendments developed by the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, the cost of the package will increase to 68 rubles, and in 2015, the year at all of up to 100 rubles. The newspaper "Izvestia" reports that a team of Veronika Skvortsova has decided to raise the cost of the excise tax on tobacco even higher than previously planned.
A month ago, WHO experts recommended that the Russian Ministry of Health to increase the rate of excise duty on cigarettes by 2020, the 7 times. If Russia will listen to the advice, after 7 years of one pack will cost about 238 rubles.

The document referenced "Izvestia", published in the database "Consultant Plus". It stipulates that in the next year the excise tax will rise to 1,200 rubles per 1,000 cigarettes plus 10% of the retail price, and in 2015 - to 2050 rubles and 10%. For comparison, the excise tax is currently 550 rubles plus 8%, in 2014 it had increased to 800 rubles (plus 8, 5% of the price), and in 2015 - up to 960 rubles (9%).

On the way to the realization of the project is the Ministry of Finance, believes that excise duty should be lifted gradually, and most importantly, Russia will have to negotiate amendments to other countries of the Customs Union.
