Tithing on software: Putin supported the proposal to impose 10% tax on software sales
Recently, the state began to generate too much news about the Internet: and again , Vedomosti reported on alarming initiatives by the authorities:
Minister of Telecom and Mass Communications of the Russian Federation Nikolay Nikiforov
So far, this is precisely the idea of ​​the minister, a proposal, and not a law or even a bill. But let me assume that, with the support of Putin, this story has more chances for success than the recent scandalous initiative to disconnect the runet from the global network, whose discussion has so far been decided to postpone indefinitely .
“Vedomosti” also writes that “vendors' profit averages 20-25% of turnover, so a tax of 10% of sales will force developers to give half the profit ... Given the current difficult economic situation, many vendors and young companies can work without any profit at all and then 10% of deductions will result in losses. "
What Vedomosti does not write about is how exactly they plan to collect tax deductions from foreign companies and companies registered in offshore. In general, the initiative still has a lot of white spots, although the temptation to raise money from the IT industry as a bush will most likely outweigh all possible difficulties with administering (collecting) the new tax. The most honest, whites and companies registered in the Russian Federation are likely to suffer.
')
According to the minister, it is planned to send the fees to support software developers. It sounds more logical than the recent idea to impose purchases from foreign online stores in the name of building affordable housing , but it’s not entirely clear: will they end up supporting those with whom the tax was collected - or will the money be spent on creating Cheburashka ?
