The Tax Service of the Republic of Tatarstan reminded about the importance of an official salary.

      The Federal Tax Service of Russia provides convenient digital tools for monitoring one's income. Ensuring social guarantees and protecting one's future can only be achieved through official employment. The Federal Tax Service for the Republic of Tatarstan draws citizens' attention to the importance of legalizing labor relations. Receiving a salary "in envelopes" deprives the employee of a whole range of legally guaranteed rights. Official income is not just a number on a payslip, but the foundation of social status and material well-being of citizens. This was reported by the press service of the Federal Tax Service for the Republic of Tatarstan. "The legality of salaries directly affects the formation of pension capital: insurance contributions that the employer pays from 'white' salaries are the basis for future pensions, while their absence inevitably leads to a significant reduction in pension provision. Moreover, the amount of social benefits – for temporary disability, pregnancy and childbirth, or in case of workplace injuries – is calculated solely based on official earnings. The issue of creditworthiness is equally important: confirmed income remains the main condition for the approval of bank loans, mortgages, and positive decisions when applying for visas. Speaking of benefits, it is worth remembering the tax preferences: the opportunity to receive property or social tax deductions when purchasing housing, paying for education, or medical treatment is available only to those who pay personal income tax. Finally, official employment itself is a reliable guarantee of compliance with labor rights, including the right to paid leave and protection against unlawful dismissal," the press service's message states. The Federal Tax Service of Russia provides convenient digital tools for monitoring one's income. Current information about official salaries and paid taxes can be viewed in the "Income" section of the "Personal Account for Individuals" on the Federal Tax Service of Russia's website. To assess how the proposed level of payment corresponds to the average market indicators in the industry, the "Tax Calculator for Calculating Tax Burden" service can help. If an employer refuses to officially formalize labor relations and pays "gray" salaries, according to the Federal Tax Service of the Republic of Tatarstan, citizens have the right to seek protection from the district prosecutor's office, the State Labor Inspectorate, the territorial tax authority, or in court. Additional information and consultation on informal employment issues can be obtained from the Department by phone: 8 (843) 528-09-90 (ext. 13-94). Let us remind you that the heads of organizations that underreport employee salaries may be invited to meetings of interagency working groups on illegal employment. Such meetings take place in the executive committees of municipal entities and tax authorities, where representatives of the labor inspection and prosecutor's office may participate.

      In just January – February 2026, there were 255 meetings where 484 employers paying salaries below the minimum wage or below the industry average were heard. As a result of the meetings, 463 organizations (95.7% of the total) increased payments to their employees. Additional budget revenues amounted to 25.6 million rubles in personal income tax and 128.2 million rubles in insurance contributions.
