Thanks to the loyalty of tax policy in the Leningrad region, a small business not only successfully developed

In St. Petersburg, collecting taxes from small businesses grew by almost twice. As recently stated Eugene Yelin, chairman CEDIPT, small business, operating under the simplified tax regime, paid a total tax of about 5.5 billion rubles (2009), when the tax was expecting no more than 2.2 billion rubles. Based on the fact that tax payments have doubled in 2,5 times, we can safely say that in the northern capital of Russia, a small business successfully develops and prospers, thanks to programs of support from local authorities. Reducing the size of tax cuts for small businesses in St. Petersburg not only helped create conditions for normal development of small and medium-sized businesses, but also doubled the income coming into the regional budget. We remind you that the Government of the Leningrad region has reduced the tax rate for small business in early 2009. It was one of the first anti-crisis measures for small business development. And it should be noted that the exercise has yielded positive results. In 2010 was adopted by another bill aimed at supporting and developing small and medium-sized businesses in the area. It also applies to taxation. Only now individual companies. Under the bill, the rate of tax in 2010 will be at 15% of the profits and 10%. With the words Yellin: "We have decided to reduce taxation MB willingly, despite the fact that businesses will pay less taxes, the amount of the tax payments in the budget will still increase as a loyal tax policy helps to develop new small businesses." Based on the analysis, we can say that the share of tax payments in the budget of the region is strongly increased and amounted to about 25,6% of the total income of the regional budget.
