The size of the deductions depends on a series of factors, including the region, the type of institution and its area. For example, for a cafeteria with an area of 100 square meters. M m. – From 22.7 thousand to 25.5 thousand rubles. Only Fitness club tariffs remained unchanged.
According to Rao’s report, in 2023 the organization raised more than 2.8 billion remuneration rubles and paid the authors of musical compositions around 1.5 billion rubles. At the same time, 41.6 million rubles were transferred to foreign copyright holders. In the previous year, Rao raised 2.4 billion rubles, and the amount of payments amounted to 1,300 million rubles. The organization did not publish data by 2024.
The changes in the calculation of the bets were backed by representatives of musical labels. The Legacy Chief of Music, Ekaterina Berger, said that the new calculation system corresponds better for modern realities. Denis Glazin, director of work with artists and repertoire of the S&P digital label, emphasized the importance not only of adjusting bets, but also to improve the efficiency of payments.
According to Rao’s representative, a significant impact on the process of review of tariff fees has had a constant increase in inflation in recent years. The average inflation rate in 2019 was approximately 3%, while by 2024 the indicator grew to 9.5%.
The discussion of the additional increase in rates is premature, the question of changing bets in 2025 will be considered in the context of a series of other factors, added to Rao.
