The number of self-employed in Tatarstan has increased by 30.5 thousand people since the beginning of the year

Since the beginning of 2023, the number of self-employed in Tatarstan has increased by 30.5 thousand people. Growth is observed in all municipalities of the republic. This is facilitated by the support measures provided within the framework of the national project "Small and medium-sized entrepreneurship".

The total declared income of Tatarstan self-employed since the beginning of the year amounted to more than 22.5 billion rubles, and their number reached 255 thousand.

To increase the economic activity of the self-employed in Tatarstan, there is a set of support measures, including access to online platforms and the organization of special trading places and fairs for them. These measures that promote the sale of products, in the opinion of the self-employed themselves, predetermine their economic activity. 

So, since the beginning of the year, more than 300 self-employed people have taken part in exhibition and fair events on the territory of the republic, including the 3-day fair "I am Tatarstan" during the Days of Russian Entrepreneurship, where they earned more than 10 million rubles. For professional income tax payers, the My Business Center constantly conducts free training programs on bringing their products to marketplaces.

Today, self-employed people of Tatarstan also 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 3 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 of self-employment.

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.
