You can work under the 6% simplified tax system up to 2.4 million a year, so technically you're still within the limits. But the question isn't about the letter of the law - it's whether this system actually works for you at that level of turnover.
At 2 million rubles in income on 6%, you'll pay 120 thousand in taxes a year - that's a lot. If you have significant expenses, it might make more sense to switch to the 15% simplified system (tax on profit) or even stick with the standard system if your expenses are high. Here's a typical calculation: add up all your costs (purchases, services, salaries), subtract that from your revenue, and see what you get with a 15% tax on profit. Often with high expenses, that comes out cheaper than 6% of the whole amount.
Another important thing - check the restrictions on the 6% system: usually you can't hire a lot of employees and you can't work in certain industries. If you're already getting close to those limits, it makes sense to think about switching ahead of time so you don't run into trouble later. Talk to an accountant; they'll figure out your numbers in half an hour and give you a straight answer on whether to switch or not.
The main question here isn't about the limits, but about your expense structure. If your expenses are substantial and can be documented, the 15% simplified tax system (income minus expenses) might end up being cheaper than 6% of your total turnover - run the numbers on a calculator with your actual business figures. Plus, at two million, it makes sense to consult with an accountant or tax advisor so you don't make a mistake when switching.
You should also check what expenses are hard for you to document or aren't counted at all. For example, if you work with individuals and a lot of money comes in without proper paperwork, then the 6% simplified tax system will be easier than dealing with proving expenses under the 15% system. But if you've got a clean setup with contractors and all your invoices are in order, then calculate the tax both ways using your actual numbers and see which comes out better.
