All the benefits for tax purposes, which acts before, and stores the new bill is now considering.. government – are hoping that it will be adopted before the end of the spring session of the Parliament, but there are also measures to support taxpayers who already act

“If before going to the cadastral value of the tax rate was two percent of the value of the property.. now in the transition to a new order, this rate is 0.3 percent, but already on the cadastral value. In order to still insure our citizens, so that it did not increase the tax burden, provided the rate of the cost of property tax can not be increased by more than 20 percent a year – respectively up to 2020 “, – said the head of the Ministry of Finance Anton Siluanov

Putin:. “that is, every third apartment purchaser to use the service and took a grant?”

M.Men: “Yes, he took the subsidy. That is, the banks then had been compensated “.

The program will be in effect until the first of January 2017, so it’s time to take advantage of government support is still there.

At this meeting, we talked about the support of the Russian .. of iT-industry to this end, the Minister of communication said that a special fund with a budget of five billion rubles for 2016-th Russian software vendors have something to offer – the products are actively buying abroad – exports of more than seven billion dollars a year, but here. domestic demand, oddly enough, much less

Putin:. “That is possible for those who produce a product that domestic producers are very large. Therefore, I ask the government to orient the management of state representatives in companies with state participation, that they relied on the decisions – maybe in the first half of this year as a recommendation, and the second has already let go to domestic producers of this product. We must proceed, of course, of the possibilities of this sector of our economy, but I am sure he will be able to provide almost all the needs. It is necessary to analyze, of course: at once such things are not done, but you need to go exactly in this direction. Our programmers exactly can this all to ensure absolutely even doubt no no. “

LIH could take credit for the attacks in Dagestan – Ridus.ru

militants of the “Islamic state ‘(IG, banned in Russia) have claimed responsibility for the bombing of convoys Ministry of Internal Affairs in the suburbs of Makhachkala, reports Reuters referring to the near-terrorist agency Amaq.

The night before, two unknown persons blew up a vehicle of temporary operational group of the Ministry of Interior – armored “Ural” and UAZ. The vehicles were police officers from Krasnoyarsk. Presumably, exploded an improvised device.

As a result of explosion one person was killed and two wounded.

To understand whether the IG is really related to each specific terrorist attack or is it just a PR move, can only be tracked, whence the funding of these militants, says the vice-president of the International Association of veterans of “Alpha” Alexey Filatov

«It is wrong to use the category” believe – do not believe. “. If the leaders of some terrorist groups, in this case the IG formally claimed responsibility for the attack – which means they have to do with it “, – he said,” Reedus »

This is not unusual. as many small and scattered gangs tend to go under the wing of a stronger “overlord”. Previously, it was the “Al-Qaeda”, now – IG. . There is nothing new under the sun

In the Russian Caucasus, many scattered armed underground groups willingly joined the IG – primarily because the “Caliphate” is ready to provide them with financial support, indicating Filatov

. But IG pays money to their “colleagues” in the different countries not to those merely shouting “Allah Akbar”. Customers are demanding action. In a world in which there are Islamists, such acts can only be explosions and shooting at unarmed people. Including for Muslims, if they are caught by the hand, as it proves the terrorist attacks in Dagestan and Brussels.

We are dealing with what might be called “terrorist multi-level marketing», when one organization or group serves under the flag of another, said, “Reedus” president of the International Association of counterterrorist Joseph Linder.

«Check statements militants accessories is very difficult for these groups. It’s kind of a terrorist International, which has no national boundaries. In the IG there is a special department in Raqqa, which is just engaged in this MLM », – he says

This is not the first time that the terrorist attack in Dagestan IG ascribes to himself.. Late last year, it took responsibility for the shooting on a viewing platform in Derbent.
