In particular, the innovations include:

-drafting of a federal law with general requirements for the Order of calculation (the bill is currently being drafted and is in the process of Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA));

- size and timing of the introduction of non-tax payments;

-establishment of rules for the maintenance of a register of mandatory payments, including the development of guidance on the maintenance of a register of relevant payments established by the legislation of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

In addition, it is planned to develop general requirements for the determination of the limit on payments and to establish the relevant lists.

The implementation of activities will ensure that the non-taxing business burden is not increased, that the common principles of establishing and collecting non-tax payments of business entities are consolidated, systematized and harmonized. In general, the document aims to improve the business and investment climate in Russia.
