The number of tax declarations submitted by Russians for 2011 may grow significantly compared to the previous year, Daniil Yegorov, deputy head of the Federal Tax Service, said at a news conference.

The growth may amount to 30%-50% in some regions, the tax official said. “This is significant for Russia,” he emphasized.

The results will be announced after all declarations are submitted: citizens are to submit the 3-NDFL (personal income tax) form before May 2, 2012, Yegorov said.
