The government does not tax where there collection – Kommersant

The government does not tax where there collection – Kommersant

yesterday at a forum in Sochi, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev confirmed the refusal of the White House from the introduction of a sales tax, but unveiled another solution: the regions will be able to enter their charges with the business for the right to trade, the provision of food services and taxis, as well as be able to charge citizens travel or resort fees. Finance Minister Anton Siluanov has called the expected date of introduction of innovations – in 2015 and possible dopdohodov areas – 50-70 billion rubles. His colleagues in the office, however, argue that while the parameters of the new payments were not discussed and decided upon not.

Speaking at the plenary session of the Forum Sochi Dmitry Medvedev about the new fiscal plans the government has declared as a business solved: “In order to increase its own tax base of local governments, regions will have the right the introduction of a number of special charges for the right to trade, for the provision of catering services, taxi services, as well as tourist and resort fee. ”

Finance Minister Anton Siluanov on the sidelines of the forum confirmed that the fees, replacing sales tax (EPT), may begin to be collected in the next year: “In any case, we will make amendments to the tax legislation in 2015 that municipalities had that opportunity. ” At the federal level will be established only limits the amount of such payments, in Moscow and St. Petersburg, these fees will be established at the regional level. Substitution might-sales tax will be partial – from the Ministry of Finance of the NRS waited 200 billion rubles. a year, the fees, according to the minister, can bring, “maybe 50 (billion rbl.- ” b “), 70 (billion rbl.- ” b “) and more, “it will all depend on what it charges and what size will establish municipalities, he added.

However, Economy Minister Alexei Ulyukayev also on the sidelines of the forum said that the prime minister expressed “is not nothing but a preliminary proposals the Ministry of Finance.” According to him, neither the mechanism of innovation, nor the rate of charges, or even their possible list “is not discussed and never recorded.” “I treat this with caution. Briefly, this is an additional burden on business,” – said the Minister.

explain, unlike taxes, wearing grant nature, their fees are paid to the state for receiving its specific services – for licensing, permitting, or other identity documents. In addition, fees are ad hoc. Now the Tax Code establishes only two types of data collection – the state fee and the fee for use of fauna and water biological resources (actual fee hunting and fishing). However, the need of money lobbying the regions long expansion of the list. The desire to introduce a tourist tax for St. Petersburg, by analogy with the individual cities in Europe in late 2009 declared the then Governor Valentina Matvienko. Then called the size of the payment, which could be charged to the guest at check-in – € 2-3 and possible revenues – € 10-15 million per year. In 2012, the desire to enter the resort fee for a rest on the Caucasian Mineral Waters in the amount of 3% of the cost of the permit stated power of the Stavropol Territory – with reference to the experience of Baden-Baden and Karlovy Vary. Called when the issue price – 300 million rubles.

According to the “Y”, this year with proposals on the introduction of the resort fee to the Finance Ministry appealed the Krasnodar and Stavropol regions. However, the Ministry of Finance then worked through the introduction of the subject in Moscow, St. Petersburg and Tatarstan sales tax. Although the idea is quite NSP maintained part of the economic bloc in the government, it caused a sharp rejection of the Ministry of Economy and the Central Bank, who reported that the new tax will drive inflation. In turn, supporters of the NRS in the White House got into a trap – it was assumed that the tax could well be administered mostly in the largest cities of the country due to the high share of retail chains in trade and therefore could solve the problem of financing of road construction in Moscow and St. municipal infrastructure -Petersburg. However, the basic need for money is not experiencing the megacities, and relatively poor regions. Allow the NRS in some regions and not allow other politically very difficult, so on Wednesday at a meeting with Vladimir Putin’s idea of ​​the sales tax was buried, and his place on the agenda took charges.

Executive Director, Association of Retail Trade Andrey Karpov told “Kommersant” that discussed fees – this is in any case, the additional burden on business. Vitaly Zhigulin, executive director of the Association of Internet commerce, points out that the introduction of the collection lead to the same negative effects as the sales tax – will increase inflation and a negative impact on competition, as will the use of unscrupulous players shadow schemes. Also, a situation where taxes on trade, catering and taxi can be introduced in all regions, may lead to the re-registration of companies in those subjects where they will not.
