Hi Olga, This is incorrect; you do, according to the law, pay 30% for your first 183 days and 13% thereafter. There is nothing that stops you from travelling outside of Russia during this time however you will "delay" reaching the 183 days required for the lower tax rate. I do know that many companies start to pay the 13% lower tax rate from day 1 in the country if they know that the person will be here over the 183 days "not matter what'; however this is probably not strictly in accordance with the law but also not an issue once the 183 days have passed (at least I've never heard of anywhere where it's been an issue!).
