In November, Russians can expect a few changes. Good news includes the introduction of a new method for waste collection calculation being postponed for a month, and the beginning of November will be marked by three-day weekends after a six-day work week. Pensioners will have their pensions adjusted, the tax authority will be able to collect debts without going to court, and mobile operators are now required to verify their subscribers.
National Unity Day, happening on November 4, falls on a Tuesday this year. To avoid splitting the week, the government has made November 1 a working Saturday followed by three days off from November 2 to 4. In Vladivostok, there will be a Cross procession and various festive events on National Unity Day.
The waste collection system has been postponed by a month. New calculation methods for the waste collection rate were set to take effect in Russia on November 1. However, due to intense criticism, the Ministry of Industry and Trade has delayed the deadline to December 1, taking into account the concerns of citizens who may have purchased or paid for cars with engines over 160 horsepower after the act with new parameters was published, or who might face unpredictable delays in vehicle delivery.
Once the law is passed, ordinary citizens will have to pay a commercial waste collection fee for importing automobiles with internal combustion engines over 160 horsepower, hybrids, and electric cars over 80 horsepower. This protective measure is believed by experts to attract foreign manufacturers to open assembly lines in the country. However, for most citizens, the increase in the collection fee will make cars unaffordable and hard to replace on the official Russian market, leading to a predicted 50% drop in car imports.
Following public discussions on the federal portal for draft normative legal acts, over 126,000 people voted against the waste collection rate hike, while only 668 voted in favor. At a coordinated rally in Vladivostok, 680 signatures were gathered against the new measure and continued in electronic form. The market had already reacted to the possible hike in the waste collection fee, with a surge in demand for powerful cars in the Primorsky region.
Indexing Pensions In November, certain groups of citizens will see pension increases. Pensioners aged 80 and above will have their fixed payments doubled from 8.9 thousand to 17.8 thousand rubles. The monthly care supplement will remain at 1.3 thousand rubles. In regions with a district coefficient, the total amount will be higher, ranging from 1.15 to 1.19 times. Similar rules apply to first-degree disabled individuals regardless of age.
No More Than 20 SIM Cards in Hand Starting November 1, 2025, Russia will enforce amendments to the Federal Law on Communications aimed at enhancing transparency and security in mobile communications. Mobile operators will not serve clients with more than 20 SIM cards registered, with a threshold of 10 SIM cards per foreigner. By November 1, operators were required to verify all their subscribers. Should an individual have more than 20 numbers, they will be denied service for each subsequent one. SIM cards registered can be checked through the State Services portal.
New Rules for Tax Debt Repayment by Individuals Starting November 1, 2025, new rules for extrajudicial recovery of debts from citizens will come into effect in Russia. Changes aim to simplify procedures for undisputed debts when the amount and fact are clear. Certain types of debts can now be recovered without court intervention based on decisions from tax authorities. This includes taxes stated in the 3-NDFL declaration, transport and property taxes, and obligations from notarized deals (loans, credits, and promissory notes). Debts prior to November 1, 2025, will be collected under existing rules through judicial process.
Individuals will be notified through their personal tax account in the Federal Tax Service website, the State Services portal, and by registered mail. Failure to settle debts within the specified period allows the tax authority to deduct the amount and forward materials to the Federal Bailiffs Service (FSSP). The law also includes protective measures for citizens, exempting social benefits from collection and capping amounts at 50% of bank account deposits. Tax authority decisions can be appealed by submitting complaints or requests in a free form.
Additionally, effective November 1, 2025, the Federal Tax Service completes the transition to an updated electronic interaction format, discontinuing the acceptance of inquiries through electronic document flow operators (EDO). Henceforth, informal documents such as requests, explanations, complaints, and letters can only be sent through the taxpayer’s personal account or the State Services portal.
Heirs Will Be Informed About Debts Notaries are also subject to changes effective November 24, as reported by RBC. When opening an inheritance case, notaries must request information from the Central Credit History Catalog and credit bureau. Following a response, they must notify the client within three days of the deceased’s outstanding debts. Inheritors will receive this information for free in written or verbal form, enabling them to learn about debts in advance and avoid situations where the deceased’s debts exceed the value of the inheritance.
In Vladivostok: – Starting November 1, the cost of parking in one of the airport zones will change. – All road excavations and repairs should be completed by November 20.
