Evil factor

Small business Adygei suffocated the high tax rates
The authorities of the capital Adygei trying to find a way out of difficult situation in the small business, in which - especially local tax policy.
According to the deputy head of administration Yuri Maykopa Autlev, a surprise for municipal authorities, this does not become a problem: even a month ago in the structure of the administration established a new department - small business, organized a working group and appointed a public hearing. It was anticipated that this will help find a compromise solution.
But recently some 500 representatives of small businesses conducted in the center Maykopa rally, protesting the high rates of single tax on the imputed income and rents. According to one participant from this action businessman Ludmila Chu-vaevoy, municipal authorities, with support Maykopa urban deputies entered the prohibitively high rate, which determines the single rate of tax on imputed income. She cited figures showing that in the current year's tax increase from last year at 231 percent.
-- We are encouraged not to go out, but we have put literally to the brink of survival - said her colleague Natalya Vinogradova. -- The rate of single tax from small traders in the two times higher than that of the shopkeepers. We pay an average of five million rubles a month - twice, for example, small businessmen in neighboring Be-lorechenske. And mandatory payments grow with each passing day.
It should be stressed that speakers at the rally not just businessmen complained to life, and have focused on comparative data small business development in different regions. And these data were not in favour of the republic. The main reason for his plight of small traders saw that the purchasing power of the population because of a small salary (an average of 554 rubles republic - on this indicator Adygeya at 11 - in place YUFO) remains very low. But the unemployment republic, by contrast, occupies one of the first places in the district. According to businessmen, increase the tax burden on the real sector fragile economy only exacerbates the situation.
According to federal law on retail markets, municipal authorities must annually
publish data on the financial performance of management companies of markets. But in Adygea those practices are not observed.
-- We do not know where to direct our money, made for the lease. Such opacity and secrecy management companies allows them to increase fees without end - a businessman believed Nuret Lastonokova.
By the way, supported by traders and farmers, owners of personal farmstead - agricultural producers, as they are called. They complained that because of high transport costs can not remove their products to market. A promised not been as cooperative or not. Ball in the markets to continue to govern perekupschiki, but because the seasonal decline in prices, say, for vegetables do not have to wait.
Municipal officials, promising to correct the situation, nonetheless acknowledged that positive change can only wait until next year because the current prices have already been approved. Mitingovavshih it did not work, and they adopted a resolution which found it necessary to convene an extraordinary session of City council, where, in their view, the deputies should adjust the tax rate by introducing podkoeffitsientov tailored actually spent time mode of operation and its seasonality. Entrepreneurs from the authorities also demanded full transparency and compulsory publication of reports on the activities of management companies of markets.

Opinion
Andrei Borodin,
Deputy Chairman of the Maikop City Council of People's Deputies:
-- "Trick" with the introduction of ratios will not pass, because they alter the rate, and in accordance with federal law, he is not subject to change throughout the year. But this does not mean that the power drain hands. An agreement was reached with the tax authorities of the division of seats in the area of trade actually trading and storage. For example, the standard "shells" has a total area of six square meters, and so, now only four of its "square" are subject to taxation. This will reduce single tax rate to the level of last year to 80 per cent of entrepreneurs. Therefore, expressing dissatisfaction mainly those entrepreneurs who have joined two or three "shells", why the agreement with the tax does not apply to them. But initially referred to the working group intends next year to have been taken into account and their interests.
