In December 2017, a decision was taken to create the ASED zones (advanced social and economic development zones) in the monocities of Nizhnekamsk, Chistopol and Zelenodolsk. An ASED zone is created for a period of ten years. The term of the ASED zone existence can be extended for 5 years by decision of the Government of the Russian Federation on the basis of the application of the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia.
For the ASED zone residents, there is a reduced rate of income tax, including:
– in the part of enrollment to the federal budget – 0% during the first 5 tax periods from the moment of receipt of the first profit from the activity,
– in the part of enrollment to the budget of the subjects of Russia, the rate is 5% within 5 tax periods from the moment of receipt of the first profit and 10% during the next 5 tax periods.
In addition, for ASED zone residents it is stipulated:
– exemption from payment of organizations property tax,
– exemption from payment of land tax,
– reduced rates of insurance premiums at the rate of 7.6% instead of 30%, paid in the usual way (including to the Pension Fund – 6% instead of 22%, to the Social Insurance Fund – 1.5% instead of 2.9% and to the Compulsory Medical Insurance Fund – 0.1% instead of 5.1%). The benefit is distributed within 10 years from the day of the status of the ASED zone resident and applies to residents who have received such status not later than 3 years from the date of the establishment of the ASED zone.
In total, it is expected that the status of an ASED zone will enable the single-industry cities of Zelenodolsk, Nizhnekamsk, and Chistopol to create, at least, 7,000 permanent new jobs over 10 years, attract at least 76 ASED zone residents, with investments reaching 23.7 billion rubles, including capital investments (without VAT) of 19 billion rubles.
