Three years later (!) It happened: now in order
to pay insurance premiums at a reduced rate of 14%, you need to have 7 employees on staff. Previously, the minimum threshold was 30. Pruflink at the
Ministry of Communications and Mass
Media of Russia .
The most important part:
“The adopted law changes the number of employees in companies applying for benefits from 30 to 7 people.”
Story
Three years ago, in 2010, the Duma prepared amendments to the Federal Law “On Insurance Contributions to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, the Social Insurance Fund of the Russian Federation, the Federal Mandatory Medical Insurance Fund”. The essence of the changes was excellent: for small IT companies, the percentage of insurance contributions was reduced to 14% instead of the standard 34%. The snag was in the very definition of small IT companies, namely:
- The number of company employees is at least 50 (then it was reduced to 30, but this did not change anything at the root).
- The share of revenues from the sale of IT products and the provision of IT services - at least 90%
')
With the second one, most web developers would have no problems, but the first one - in fact, reduced the utility of the law to nothing. We decided to go on the offensive.
Open letter to the President
We have launched a website with
an open letter to the President of the Russian Federation. The initiative received good support from colleagues.
The letter is gone . A week later, amendments were made to the law, the main value of which was a reduction in the number of employees. At that time - up to 10 people. This was already a big event, but before the official approval of the amendments, as it turned out, there were still a long 3 years ...
What now
All IT companies with a staff of at least 7 people can be accredited and pay insurance deductions at a preferential rate of 14%. You also need to still have at least 90% revenue from basic IT activities. There have been minor changes, for example, income in the form of exchange rate differences and revaluation of currency values are no longer taken into account. Not such a loss, really.
About what needs to be done in order to pass the accreditation - we wrote here .With the good news of all of us, colleagues! Bzdyn! ;)
