Comment

From Mikhail Mishustin's opening remarks at the operational meeting with deputy prime ministers, March 24, 2026

This concerns a deferral of mineral extraction tax and insurance premium payments. The payment deadlines for coal industry organizations have been extended until April 30, 2026. The arrears can be repaid in equal monthly installments from May to the end of November 2026.

Also, until April 30, no penalties will be applied to coal companies for tax arrears and insurance premium arrears, provided that bankruptcy proceedings have not been initiated against the debtor organizations.

"This will free up working capital at promising coal companies for ongoing operations," Mikhail Mishustin noted at a meeting with deputy prime ministers on March 24.

The Government, at the direction of the President, introduced additional support measures for coal companies effective June 1, 2025. Earlier, in May, Mikhail Mishustin held a meeting on the situation in the industry. The Prime Minister noted that it is one of the core industries that ensures the stable operation of key economic sectors, including metallurgy, electric power, and housing and utilities, and also contributes to addressing social issues.
