MOSCOW, March 20 (Reuters) – Foreign companies leaving Russia have made exit contributions to the Russian budget of 35.7 billion roubles ($385 million) so far this year, online budget data showed, already surpassing full-year expectations.

Russia has steadily tightened exit requirements for departing companies, demanding approval from a government commission, a 50% discount on any sale and a contribution to the federal budget of at least 10% of the sale price, dubbed an “exit tax” by Washington.
