MOSCOW, Feb 14 (Reuters) - Proposed changes to oil
industry taxation, including fixed discounts on Russian oil to
dated Brent, will boost Russia's state budget by 600 billion
roubles ($8.2 billion) this year, Deputy Finance Minister
Mikhail Kotyukov said on Tuesday.
Speaking at a meeting of the parliamentary committee on
budget and taxes, Kotyukov also said the proposed changes will
not have a negative impact on Russian oil production.
