In the capital, the number of payers of the professional income tax at the beginning of 2025 exceeded 1.9 million people. This was reported by Maria Bagreeva, Deputy Mayor of Moscow, Head of the Department of Economic Policy and City Development.

“Moscow’s large consumer market and the support measures provided by the city allow entrepreneurs to develop their businesses in the directions and formats that are attractive to them. In 2024, the number of self-employed people working in the capital increased by almost 350 thousand and exceeded 1.9 million people. 16 percent of Russian registered professional income taxpayers work in Moscow. Over the entire period of this tax regime, which has been in effect in the capital since January 1, 2019, they have earned almost 1.5 trillion rubles, including 536 billion rubles in 2024,” noted Maria Bagreeva.

Last year, the self-employed transferred 15.1 billion rubles to the Moscow budget – 46 percent more than in 2023. Over the entire period of the special tax regime, more than 39 billion rubles in professional income tax have already been received by the capital’s budget.

In 2024, 181 million checks were issued to clients — twice as many as the year before. This indicates an increase in business activity among the self-employed in Moscow. At the same time, the average check size at the end of 2024 was 3,152 rubles.

The advantages of this tax regime are the ease of registration and the automated mode of transferring information about the income received. In addition, the self-employed person is not required to submit tax reports or use cash registers.

According to the Federal Tax Service, in 2024, the most popular types of activity among the capital’s self-employed, which they indicated during registration, were passenger and freight transportation, delivery, apartment rental, construction, advertising and marketing.

Moscow has a developed modern infrastructure for professional self-realization, including those who choose the entrepreneurial scenario.
