The document was prepared by the organization of the development of the video game industry (RVI), the editor and distributor of the Buka video game, as well as the head of the Vladimir Vladimir Varenik community. It is proposed that the amendments be introduced into the bill “on activities on the development and distribution of video games in the territory of the Russian Federation”, which was introduced into the state Duma in December.
One of the key offers is the creation of the Video Grand Industry Development Fund to support Russian developers. In addition, the authors of the amendments offer for 10 years to exempt developers paying the value added tax, having fixed the current experiment in the law to include games in the National Software Registry.
The chief of the RVI Vasily Ovchinnikov said that fiscal stimulation is one of the most common world practices in the development of the game industry. As an example, Canada and China cited, where video game developers can request tax exemption or tax benefits
Buka’s company proposed to transfer the powers to regulate the industry of the Ministry of Culture and Roskomnadzor to the Ministry of Culture, since Russian video games are “objects of the country’s intangible ethnocultural heritage.” As an alternative, the editor proposed to share the powers: the Ministry of Culture will be responsible for compliance with age restrictions, for the fulfillment of honest competition and Roskomnadzor, to protect personal data.
The president of the Information Information Policy Committee of the State Duma, Sergei Boyarsky, told Kommersant that the working group continues proposed amendments.
