Federal Tax Service of Russia for Sevastopol: the Public Council discussed the main trends of the service

CrimeaPRESS reports:

On March 23, a meeting of the Public Council under the Federal Tax Service of Russia for the city of Sevastopol took place. During the meeting, members of the Public Council discussed the main projects of the department and the trends of the service to create a client-oriented system for the provision of digital services and reduce business costs when interacting with the tax service.

Head of the Federal Tax Service of Russia for the city of Sevastopol A.N. Mogila noted that modern technologies create a huge potential for a qualitative change in tax administration in the context of the digitalization of the economy. He stressed that last year a new public service was implemented — the issuance of qualified certificates of the electronic signature verification key for legal entities and individual entrepreneurs by the Certification Center of the Federal Tax Service of Russia.

In 2022, work on the release of the CEP has become one of the priority tasks. Last year, the Certification Center in Sevastopol issued more than 16,000 qualified electronic signatures to Sevastopol business representatives. In 2023, this work continues: at the moment, almost 23 thousand electronic signatures have already been issued.

During the meeting, the possibilities of electronic services for the state registration of business were discussed with members of the Public Council. The services allow not only preparing and sending documents for registering a business without paying a state duty and a personal visit to the tax office, but also making changes to registration data, terminating activities and performing other registration actions online. To date, the benefits of contactless interaction with the tax authorities have been appreciated by more than 80 percent of all entrepreneurs and legal entities registered in Sevastopol.

Of course, the meeting of the Public Council could not do without discussing the most ambitious project — a new mechanism for paying taxes and accounting for payments to the budget system of the Russian Federation.

During the event, the members of the Public Council discussed the mechanism for applying the UNS: they dismantled the mechanism for reducing taxes paid under special tax regimes (STS and SIT) by the amount of fixed insurance premiums.

Aleksey Mogila positively assessed the work of the members of the Public Council and emphasized that thanks to productive cooperation, the tax service learns firsthand about the issues that concern the business of Sevastopol, which allows them to quickly respond to the requests of the business community.

Pavel Lebedev, Chairman of the Public Council under the Federal Tax Service of Russia for the city of Sevastopol, noted that the Public Council is an excellent platform for resolving complex and controversial issues, developing a balanced and fair position in the interests of business, and called on the members of the Public Council to actively participate in preparing proposals for making clarifications in regional legislation regulating preferential rates under the simplified taxation system.
