Deputies prepare a bill that will allow Russian regions to set lower USN rates for social enterprises.
Russia's new bill seeks to revive tax breaks for struggling social enterprises
Sergey Mironov proposed to return to the regions the right to reduce taxes for social enterprises on the USN. The "Fair Russia" bill is being submitted to the State Duma on Thursday.
The document provides for rates of 1-6% for income and 5-15% for the base "income minus expenses". Previously, the regions had this opportunity, but the amendments at the end of 2025 canceled the benefits.
"Social enterprises solve the most important tasks. They are engaged in labor employment of disabled people, pensioners, graduates of children's homes, refugees, low-income and large families, members of the families of SVO participants," Mironov noted.
The parliamentarian warned: the abolition of preferences against the background of an increase in the tax burden may reduce the number of social enterprises. The initiative will preserve support without spending the federal budget, Prime reports.
