Heads up if you’re in Russia: prices just got a little steeper. The government bumped up the VAT (think: the tax you pay on most stuff you buy) from 20% to 22% to help cover war costs. That means everything from clothes to gadgets will cost more, squeezing already tight budgets. The only break? Essentials like food and medicine keep a lower tax. So, if you’re shopping, expect to feel the pinch with every checkout. #Business #MakeMoney #Russia
