To compensate the tax gathering which have fallen to a third, the Ministry of Finance has found new sources of replenishment of the budget. Among them increase НДПИ on gas, excises on tobacco and alcohol, and also the state duty
The volume of the collected taxes following the results of first five months has decreased approximately on 32 % in comparison with the similar period of last year, has told yesterday the deputy minister of the finance Sergey Shatalov. That is in January — May in the consolidated budget has arrived 2,39 трлн rbl. According to Shatalov, falling is connected by that «the economy became a little bit another», instead of with bad work of tax specialists.
Considering such statistics, the Ministry of Finance does not see possibilities for decrease in taxes, has explained the deputy minister. He considers that the state has made everything that could: 700 млрд the rbl. remains in economy because of carrying over for 2011 of increase of the size of insurance payments from 26 % to 34 %, 250 more млрд rbl. — thanks to change of an order of payment of the export duty on oil since December, 2008
And here to raise tax loading the Ministry of Finance intend. The ministry suggests to increase a collecting of taxes since 2010 by the sum nearby 115 млрд rbl. at the expense of increase of rates, Shatalov has told. From them 50 млрд rbl. the Ministry of Finance hopes to receive from increase НДПИ on gas. These are 60 % from all gathering of this tax in 2008 (83 млрд rbl.). What should be the new rate, it is not known yet, Shatalov has told: «We should receive 50 млрд rbl., and the rate we will count, proceeding from this sum». Earlier this question has been postponed till 2011, but the Ministry of Finance suggests to raise the rate since 2010, it has explained. «It is the position of the Ministry of Finance which has been not approved by [government]», — Shatalov has specified, it should be worked with "Gazprom" and the independent extracting companies. Earlier the Ministry of Finance has included this increase in the basic directions of a tax policy for 2010-2012
Taking into account the forecast of growth of the gas prices for 2010 (to 27,7 %) payments НДПИ from "Gazprom" will grow a maximum on 22 млрд rbl. It only 0,6 % of a gain of gas monopoly. Representatives of "Gazprom" and "Novateka" (2 place on a gas production) have refused comments.
50 more млрд the budget will receive rbl. from increase of all kinds of state duties which were not reconsidered since 2000, Shatalov has told. It more than all incomes of the consolidated budget of the state duty in 2008 (47,9 млрд rbl., according to Federal exchequer).
Also the budget will be helped by manufacturers of tobacco and alcohol. According to Shatalov, 10-15 млрд the Ministry of Finance plans to receive rbl. from additional indexation of excises on alcohol and tobacco. Which rates will be raised and on how many, Shatalov has not told. Relative growth of loading on them the most insignificant: the state receives from excises on alcohol and tobacco more than 140 млрд rbl., including 63,8 млрд from tobacco (the given exchequers).
Since 2010 in the Tax code and so growth of excises on alcohol is put, the assistant to preboard of the Union of manufacturers of alcoholic production Dmitry Dobrov speaks: to 210 rbl. from litre of ethyl spirit against 191 rbl. this year. New increase will lead to that the floor price of a legal bottle of vodka will exceed 100 rbl., he speaks: it will entail growth of sales of illegal production, which and so, even on the official statistics, reaches thirds of market. In the tobacco market a share of illegal production less than 1 % if there will be a sharp increase of excises, it can lead to growth of the shadow market, representative JT International Russia Anatoly Vereschagin worries: as a result the raised excise will manage to be collected from smaller volume of production.
For the advanced
The government can start to impose the uniform tax to the real estate in some subjects since 2012, Shatalov, but only «in the advanced regions» has told. The new tax should replace the ground tax and the tax to property.
