State support for enterprises in the real sector of the economy

Parliamentarians considered in the course of the plenary session the legislative initiative of their colleague, deputy of the Supreme Council of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic Viktor Guzun. He proposed making amendments and additions to the law “On the Unified Social Tax and Mandatory Insurance Contribution,” which would allow the state to support both employees of enterprises in the real sector of the economy and the enterprises.

Victor Guzun proposed to grant the right, when calculating the unified social tax for the period from April 1 to December 31, 2024, to apply a benefit in the form of non-inclusion in payments subject to taxation, the amount of increase in the taxable base in the reporting month in relation to the taxable base in the same month of the previous year, adjusted for the coefficient of change in the number of employees.

State support measures as proposed by the parliamentarian should not apply to enterprises of natural monopolies as well as to those enterprises that are financed from the republican budget directly or indirectly. Viktor Guzun considers that the proposed state support measures will allow the state to provide comprehensive support to enterprises in the real sector of the economy and its employees.

Presenting the law-in-draft at the plenary session the parliamentarian recalled that this year the economic agents of the republic faced additional difficulties due to the unilateral introduction of customs duties by Moldova. Thus Pridnestrovian exports decreased by 8% and imports by 16%in the first 3 months of 2024, according to the State Customs Committee.

The law-in-draft was considered and adopted by the plenary session in two readings at once. The document was sent to the PMR President for signature.
