“Today, there are already more than 230,000 self-employed in Tatarstan, and this is not the limit, we daily record the growth of citizens who have decided to start their own business. To support our active Tatarstan residents, we have a whole range of federal and republican support measures,” said the First Deputy Minister of Economy.
Large-scale fairs to promote the products of the self-employed of the republic are held by the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Tatarstan together with the regional Entrepreneurship Support Fund and the My Business Center for the 4th year in a row and have become a good tradition. For the preparation of events, the Ministry attracts business and expert organizations, which makes it possible to make a really demanded and high-quality product for business. This format helps the self-employed to tell about themselves and their business, to find new clients and like-minded people.
It should be noted that Tatarstan was identified as one of the four pilot regions, where in 2019 a special tax regime was introduced as an experiment - "Tax on professional income". Since the beginning of the special tax regime, self-employed republics have issued about 45 million checks with an average amount of about 1.6 thousand rubles. Their total income exceeded 72.8 billion rubles.
Support for self-employed Tatarstan residents is carried out within the framework of the national project "Small and Medium Enterprises and Support for Individual Entrepreneurial Initiatives".
