In cities of Russia have been meetings of representatives of small businesses: participants demanded to lower premium rates

This week in the capital of Russia was a strike of small businesses. According to sources, the entrepreneurs came to the protests and demands to reduce insurance premiums. Thus, on 26 May this year the number of SMEs have closed their retail outlets, including automotive fuel stations, shops and cafes. Business strike took place in Pushkin Square, which started at 12-00 Moscow time. Incidentally, it should be noted that the 05/26/2011, the country celebrated Russian Day of the entrepreneur. In addition to meeting in Moscow, PSC all regions of Russia will take to the main streets of their cities to protest against state tax policy. In particular, the businessmen have a number of complaints to the authorities. Firstly, they require a lower premium rates from 34% to 14%. The organizers of the meeting acted as a social movement "Development Businesses". In the course of the strike participants of the event have warned that if tax rates are not lowered, then they do not open their shops. By the way, the representatives of the State Duma stated that the requirement of Russian businessmen is very understandable. With these tax rates, they just work at a loss. That is, it turns out that all software support and development of MB, provided in recent years were simply useless. State Duma deputy Ivan Grachev: "To the government reacted, the organizers of the strike should bring to the rally as many entrepreneurs." In this case, the official stressed that if the strike came to more than one hundred thousand entrepreneurs, the Russian government has always responded to the protest, as in our country, so few willing to do his business. "The government used that in our country, people often put up with the established order, and if it is opposed, then some small groups, which simply can close your eyes", - said the deputy. According to Grachev, it is necessary that both in Moscow and other Russian cities came to the rally at least a thousand entrepreneurs and others in this day suspended their activities. Only in this massive pressure can be forced to change the tax policy in Russia. It should be recalled that the protest was held under the slogan of the Russian President, Dmitry Medvedev. The head of state not long ago asked the Duma to revise the tax code of the Russian Federation with regard to tax small businesses. In his address to the government Medvedev pointed to "very heavy" tax rate of 34% in many types of small business in Russia. Already in early 2012 on behalf of the President of the premiums MB should be reduced. In turn, the head of the Ministry of Finance Alexei Kudrin said the government will lower rates on insurance premiums for SMEs to at least 26%. We remind that such rate in effect until 2011.
