Maritimes Duma deputies supported the appeal of the Astrakhan region in the State Duma with a proposal to reduce the amount of insurance premiums to the Pension Fund for entrepreneurs.
After making changes to the federal law «On insurance contributions to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, the Social Insurance Fund of the Russian Federation, the Federal Compulsory Medical Insurance Fund,» a fixed payment to the Pension Fund shall be calculated on the basis of twice the minimum wage, but not one as it was before. In addition, he has also increased the minimum wage — from 4611 to 5205 rubles, so individual entrepreneurs in 2013 will have to pay twice more than last year — more than 30 thousand.
According to deputies deputy chairman of the committee on fiscal policy Vladimir Bespalov, such appeals to the State Duma comes a lot. Regional lawmakers are concerned that a significant increase from 1 January 2013 payments to the pension fund for entrepreneurs caused the mass closure of small businesses. According to the League of trading business since the beginning of the year in Russia were closed or left «in the shadow» of 260000 individual businesses.
«For small businesses doubling the size of insurance premiums became unbearable load. Attention to this issue has already drawn the president will not hurt if it is made public and our position, so we support the initiative of the Astrakhan deputies and offer to return to the previous size of individual entrepreneurs premiums» — Said Vladimir Bespalov.
