The solutions for the future

Improvement of legislation in the sphere of agriculture and land legal relations remains one of the priority of lawmaking. In 2017, the Parliamentary Committee on Agro-Industrial Complex, Transport, Construction, Natural Resources and Ecology considered more than one hundred legislative initiatives, 49 of which were adopted by the Supreme Council in final reading.

Legislations in support of agricultural producers and, in particular, peasant farms were developed by the deputies of the profile committee. The amendments were made to the law "On payment for land". Now the newly created peasant farms pay land tax not from the moment of registration of the farm, but from the moment of allocation of the land plot.

The legislative norm adopted by the Supreme Council allowed farmers to use tax privileges in time foreseen by law for the first three years of activity. Peasant farms in the first year are exempted from paying the land tax in full, for the second year - by 75%, for the third year - by 50%. In addition, the amendments to the law have become retroactive and extend to legal relations starting in 2012.

Amendments to the law "On land payment" also reduced the rate of payment of land tax for agricultural producers carrying out agro-industrial production on land plots located within the boundaries of settlements; land plots granted to citizens for grazing and mowing are exempted from taxation. The legislations are based on numerous appeals of the inhabitants of rural areas.

One of the socially significant decisions of legislators was the expansion of the list of categories of recipients of mutual payments. The right to receive material remuneration is granted to employees of state agricultural enterprises (state farms, state farms-technical schools), who have a total work experience in these enterprises for at least 15 years. Among them there are workers of collective agricultural enterprises who have not received the right to a land share and who have a common working experience in collective, state, municipal and other agricultural enterprises for at least 15 years.

Amendments to the law "On payments for pollution of the natural environment and the use of natural resources" have to improve the work of the mining industry. The tax burden on the enterprises carrying out the extraction of saw limestone has been reduced several times. The law-in-draft was supported by parliamentarians at the beginning of last year. The first results could be estimated in a few months. The director of "Grigoriopol Mine" Vyacheslav Koika told about increasing the competitiveness of the domestic product in local and foreign markets.

Developed by the government the law-in-draft with a view to state support of innovative activities was the decision for the future. Addenda of the same name law are aimed at developing the infrastructure of innovation, in particular, the construction industry, subject to the use of high technology-intensive technologies.
