The Center for Strategic Research (CSR) proposed providing support to unprofitable branches of the Russian Post in the regions at the expense of taxes on sellers in large markets. This initiative is reflected in a study by the Center for Social Development, reviewed by Vedomosti.
In particular, it is proposed to finance the company’s “compensated loss” from the budget “through additional tax revenues from the laundering of sellers on the markets.”
The so-called whitewashing will be possible if at least one of the two regulatory innovations is adopted. In one case, markets can be assigned the status of fiscal agent. Premises will have the right to retain and transfer to the budget deductions from the income of establishment owners.
The second option, proposed by the CSR, involves forcing markets to transfer to the tax service information about all income that sellers receive from working on the site.
Previously, Russian Post, in response to the Federation Council’s concerns about the company’s financial hole, stated that it needed additional capitalization of 30 billion rubles. Pochta also notes that to improve the financial and economic situation it will be necessary to close some unprofitable branches in the regions.
The Ministry of Digital Development believes that infrastructure payments from markets should be used to support these unprofitable branches.
