Turnover tax in the Soviet Union
The turnover tax (Russian: налог с оборота) in the Soviet Union was first introduced during the Soviet tax reform of 1930–1932, soon after the end of the New Economic Policy. It was broadly similar to a value-added tax (VAT), though its specifics were crafted to serve various Soviet economic-planning goals.
