Why pay more? Web studios, reduce taxes from 34% to 20%

Perhaps my note will be a well-known truth for many, but for me, as for many of my acquaintances, this turned out to be good news. Since our field of activity is web development, my appeal is to representatives of this segment. Although all that will be discussed below, will apply to all companies that are engaged in software development.



Having rummaged with the accountant in resolutions, laws and other heap of information, we found out that. Software development companies (which, I suppose, the sites also belong to), with 70% of their income from activities directly related to software development, could pay 26% of taxes (insurance premiums) on salary in 2011 employees (instead of 34%), and from January 1, 2012 - a total of 20%.



For companies with a staff of 5 employees who receive white wages, saving 14% of taxes is very substantial. It is surprising that many tax do not inform (pretend they do not know) about it. Today, we still managed to get a response from the tax that we really can pay 20%.

To make it easier for you, I provide useful links.

• Our OKVED 72
• Handbook of tariff codes payers of insurance premiums
• Amendment to the law on insurance premiums for 2012 for employers (red highlights what to look for)
• Insurance premium rates for employers in 2012 (our tariff rate and OKVED are highlighted in red)

Now we are trying to understand whether it is already possible to switch to a rate of 14% or is it still only for special economic zones like Skolkovo. Share if someone has already studied this topic.
