Officials are discussing measures to support small business tomorrow at a government meeting will discuss measures to support small and medium -sized businesses. What measures are going to take, the head of the state regulation department in the economy of the Ministry of Economic Development Andrei Sharov told the head of the Department of State Regulation yesterday. However, not only support promises small businesses. At the same time, the Federal Tax Service (Federal Tax Service) and the Ministry of Finance were concerned about the question of tightening requirements for small entrepreneurs. In particular, it is proposed to limit for some of them the opportunity to use a preferential and simplified taxation system.

The department of German Gref is as follows to support entrepreneurs. MECTR proposes to increase the threshold of the number of employees of companies, upon reaching which the company can be considered a small business enterprise, which means to apply for state support. Now small businesses in retail trade are companies with a number of up to 30 people, up to 100 people in production. The last indicator in the METART WANT to increase to 250 people.

Currently, there are three types of support for small business - subvention to the regions to create business incubators, subsidies to support export and create venture funds. The federal budget of 2006 provides for 3 billion rubles. Obviously, with the adoption of the amendments of the applicants for this money, there will be more.

However, for such state support, small entrepreneurs will most likely have to pay.

The Ministry of Finance has already announced its plans to cancel the simplified taxation regime that allows small enterprises to save on taxes - for now, however, only for gas stations. And yesterday, the Federal Tax Service spoke about her plans to improve the taxation of small business. The meaning of the innovations is to stop the schemes for dividing the business into small companies in order to save on taxes.

"There is an instruction to prepare changes to the legislation in order to stop the schemes of crushing," a source in the Federal Tax Service told Interfax. “Unfortunately, we are not so much created by new enterprises and new jobs as the average enterprises are crushed and switched to these special regulations, due to this there is an increase in small businesses,” he explained. According to him, one of the proposals is to prohibit the use of "simplification" to organizations created on the basis of liquidated or reorganized societies. “Other options are being discussed so far,” he added. A source in the Ministry of Finance yesterday reported that the department of Alexei Kudrin would most likely support amendments that impede the crushing of the business. “If companies are artificially crushed to get away from taxes, you cannot allow them to do this,” he explained.
