In Moscow it is planned to establish a zero rate of the unified agricultural tax (UAT). The relevant question will be raised at an extraordinary meeting of the Mosobldumy in August 2018. On 13 August, said the Chairman of the Moscow region Duma Igor Bryntsalov ("United Russia"), the correspondent of IA REGNUM.

According to bryntsalova, the initiative stems from the fact that the profitability of companies that can use the UAT, in the Moscow region is 4.3%.

"And for some activities, for example, crop production combined with livestock — from 5.4% to 2.6%. After the establishment of the zero rate the profitability and the number of agricultural enterprises can significantly grow," — said the Chairman of the regional Parliament.

Recall that in 2015 the Moscow regional Duma has initiated to transfer to the regions the right to set the Uniform agricultural tax. In 2018, appropriate amendments were made to Federal legislation.

We will remind, in 2017 in the suburbs public assistance from the Federal and regional budgets have received 152 of the taxpayer. All accounts paid 682 people in the amount of 87 million.

As reported IA REGNUM, according to some experts, the regions are unlikely to make a serious reduction in the tax rates of unified agricultural tax because of the need to fill the local budgets.
