Discussion questions about using the digital ruble

Abstract

The Concept of the digital ruble proposed by the Bank of Russia does not properly reflect the prospects for its use for tax purposes. The ongoing attempt to bring the functions of the digital ruble in line with the historically established requirements for the state monetary system is designed to harmonize the entry of digital means of payment into the tax, budget, insurance and pension systems. For more effective control over transactions carried out using the digital ruble, it is proposed to initially provide access to accounting registers to controlling structures and, if possible, eliminate intermediaries burdening the payment system.
