Traditional income taxation instruments do not deal with the redistribution of territorial rent. On the contrary, such instruments, as the progressive personal income tax in Russia, can increase interregional inequality. Therefore, the presents study aims to substantiate the possibility of using a solidarity tax for interregional redistribution of rent income and develop the optimal tax model for current conditions. The article describes the solidarity tax from the perspective of rent taxation, determines its key features and methods of levying. To examine interregional income inequality, constituent entities of the Russian Federation were clustered using Ward’s method according to average monthly wages and the share of personal income tax in the regional budget. Each cluster is characterised by similar personal income and tax revenue. The solidarity tax burden will be on the regions of the first four clusters. It is proposed to levy the solidarity tax as a personal income surtax on a progressive scale, depending on the ratio of accrued wage of a taxpayer and the average monthly wage in Russia for the previous year. This approach will contribute to a smooth change in the effective personal income tax rate, as well as to at least 74% increase in subsidies to budgets to compensate for raising the wages of public sector employees. The developed proposals can be applied to improve the tax mechanism of redistribution of rent income. Future research may focus on developing alternative models of solidarity taxes, including for entrepreneurial and corporate income, in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic.</p></abstract><abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Рост масштаба рентных отношений способствует усилению межрегионального неравенства доходов за счет формирования и присвоения территориальной ренты субъектами хозяйствования в регионах — лидерах по уровню экономического развития. Традиционные инструменты налогообложения доходов не ориентированы на выявление и перераспределение территориальной ренты. Напротив, могут усиливать межрегиональное неравенство, как, например, прогрессивный налог на доходы физических лиц в России. В связи с этим задача исследования — обосновать возможность использования налога солидарности для межрегионального перераспределения рентных доходов и разработать наиболее приемлемую в современных условиях модель налога. В статье развиты теоретические основы налогов солидарности: раскрыта их сущность с позиций рентного налогообложения, определены ключевые признаки и формы взимания. Межрегиональное неравенство доходов исследовано путем кластеризации субъектов РФ методом Варда по показателям уровня среднемесячной заработной платы и доли налога на доходы физических лиц в бюджете региона. Сформированы кластеры субъектов РФ со схожим уровнем личных доходов населения и налоговых доходов государства. При введении налога солидарности основное бремя будет возложено на регионы первых четырех кластеров. Налог солидарности предложено взимать в форме надбавки к налогу на доходы физических лиц по прогрессивной шкале ставок в зависимости от соотношения фактически начисленной зарплаты налогоплательщика и среднемесячной зарплаты по РФ за предшествующий год. Это позволит плавно изменять эффективную ставку налога на личный доход, а также как минимум на 74% увеличить дотации бюджетам на компенсацию расходов на повышение оплаты труда работников бюджетной сферы. Разработанные предложения имеют практическую значимость для совершенствования налогового механизма перераспределения рентных доходов. Перспективы исследований связаны с разработкой альтернативных моделей налогов солидарности в условиях пандемии COVID-19, в том числе в отношении предпринимательских и корпоративных доходов.</p></abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>solidarity tax</kwd><kwd>interregional income inequality</kwd><kwd>rental income</kwd><kwd>territorial rent</kwd><kwd>rental tax</kwd><kwd>principle of solidarity</kwd><kwd>personal income tax</kwd><kwd>surtax</kwd><kwd>solidarity contribution</kwd><kwd>capital levy</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>налог солидарности</kwd><kwd>межрегиональное неравенство доходов</kwd><kwd>рентный доход</kwd><kwd>территориальная рента</kwd><kwd>рентное налогообложение</kwd><kwd>принцип солидарности</kwd><kwd>налог на доходы физических лиц</kwd><kwd>надбавочный налог</kwd><kwd>взнос солидарности</kwd><kwd>сборы с капитала</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body/><back><ref-list><ref id="en-ref1"><label>1</label><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Bergman, M.
