The government may impose a discounted tax rate on exports of east Siberian crude on July 1, while cutting the duty on crude oil exports as much as 16 percent after international oil prices declined.
The standard export tax rate may fall to about $246 to $249.80 per metric ton, according to Bloomberg calculations based on Finance Ministry data.
A discounted tax rate of about $70 per ton may be imposed on east Siberian fields that now enjoy an exemption.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
