TOP-1000 of the largest taxpayers

The largest income tax payers with the highest annual revenue (TOP-1000) were selected for the ranking, according to the data from the Statistical Register and the Federal Tax Service for the latest available periods (2014 - 2019). The selection and analysis of companies were based on the data of the Information and Analytical system Globas.
