PM promises that tax burden will not grow for 6 years

MOSCOW, Apr 17 (PRIME) – Russia’s tax burden will not grow in the next six years, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev told the State Duma, parliament’s lower chamber, on Wednesday.

“We have made a principal decision: not to raise the tax burden for the next six years,” Medvedev said.

He also said that the amount of business requirements must decrease several times. “The entrepreneur must understand what we want him to do. Our goal is to relieve business from excessive and at times senseless requirements. There are thousands of documents, sometimes they double or contradict each other,” he said.

Russia must continue decriminalization of economic violations so that arrest becomes a rare punishment, Medvedev said.
