The Minister of Economy of the Republic of Tatarstan Midkhat Shagiakhmetov paid a working visit to the Spasskiy municipal district. Together with the Head of the district, Fargat Mukhametov, the Minister met with representatives of the business community of the district and visited the objects of the tourist cluster, including private hotel complexes.
The working visit began with a meeting with the business community. Spasskiy district businessmen were interested in the criteria for selecting banks that provide preferential loans at 2%, aimed at maintaining employment and a transitional tax regime.
Midkhat Shagiakhmetov noted that when selecting banks, the main criteria are the existence of an agreement concluded between the credit institution and the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation in 2020, as well as the availability of a credit rating, compliance with mandatory standards, and the absence of overdue debts on the return of subsidies to the federal budget. As for the transitional period for taxpayers applying UTII, it is not provided in the Republic of Tatarstan. At the same time, taxpayers have the right to switch to other tax payment regimes, such as the Patent taxation system, the simplified tax system, the unified agricultural tax, as well as to the special tax regime “Tax on professional income”.
At the end of the meeting with representatives of business, the Minister of Economy and the Head of the district presented the entrepreneurs with letters of thanks for their personal contribution to the republican campaign of mutual assistance “We are together”.
