In St. Petersburg has expanded the list of companies that receive tax breaks

So, the affected industries have recognized air and road transport, airports, health services (dental) and social services retail trade non-food products, manufacturing and enterprises engaged in research and development work.

For them to be reduced rates of tax under the simplified system of taxation to 3% in respect of income and up to 5% in respect of income, reduced by size of expenses. With regard to advance payments of taxes on property, land and transport taxes, will be granted an extension — that is, in 2021, companies will have to pay twice. This fact angered the parliamentarians.

Eduard Batanov said laconically that the city “cannot pretend that the 2020 was not.”

Deputies also surprised that no support is not shopping malls and private landlords. Batanov explained that the city “cannot take on market risks”, and landlords should understand what you have to do discount renting organizations during a pandemic. But for shopping centres, according to Vice-Governor, there are banks that during a pandemic, was not injured.
