In three years, the revenue of the self-employed in Tatarstan has grown 18 times

The state support provided under the national project "Small and medium-sized entrepreneurship and support for individual entrepreneurial initiative" has allowed the self-employed of Tatarstan to increase revenue by 18 times in three years. If by January 1, 2020, the self-employed earned 4.1 billion rubles, then by the beginning of 2023 they received an income of 75 billion rubles.

At the same time, during the period of the special tax regime, the number of self-employed has increased fourfold. If on January 1, 2020, their number was 61,911 people, then on January 1 of this year – 234,238. Currently, 247 thousand people are self-employed in the region.

Let us recall that in 2019, Tatarstan was identified as one of the four pilot regions where a special tax regime, the "Professional Income Tax", was launched as an experiment.

Today, self-employed people of Tatarstan have access to such financial measures of state support as preferential microloans and guarantees. Preferential financing at a low rate of 5.5% per annum in the amount of 50 to 500 thousand rubles is available for up to 2 years. For citizens who do not have their own collateral, the Guarantee Fund subordinated to the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Tatarstan provides a preferential guarantee, the maximum amount of which is 50% of the loan amount, and the commission fee is reduced to 0.5%.

In addition, the republican self-employed can receive information and consulting support at the My Business Center. Consultations are available on all issues related to the use of the My Tax application, the issuance of checks for transactions, the conclusion of contracts with legal entities and individual entrepreneurs. Every year, the Center holds training events, workshops and exhibitions of products of the self-employed. These support measures are available to the self-employed online on the SME.RF Digital platform.

Also, for the self-employed, there are a number of preferences – the implementation of insurance premiums on a voluntary basis and exemption from reporting and filling out a declaration, since all interaction with the tax authority is carried out through the My Tax application.
