The export base price of barley and corn has also been changed from $185 per ton to 13,875 rubles. The tax calculation formula is to subtract 13,875 rubles from the benchmark price and then multiply by 70%.

The Russian Ministry of Agriculture will implement formula based taxation from June 2, 2021.
