"The envisaged changes will greatly facilitate the work of entrepreneurs. Reducing tax reporting and reducing the number of taxes will allow businesses to focus on development rather than paperwork. The abandonment of automatic account blocking is an important step towards fair and transparent relations, where the state helps resolve issues rather than paralyzing the activities of companies.

According to the new Tax Code, pension payments for citizens are exempt from personal income tax, the transport tax for cars older than 10 years is reduced, tax deductions for persons with disabilities are expanded, and VAT benefits for socially important medical services are provided. Special tax regimes have been optimized for businesses, now there are only three of them – for the self-employed, for small businesses based on a simplified declaration, and for farms.
