The Helping Hand

Deputies provided tangible support to the Grigoriopol mine and the private enterprise "Kamnerez", operating in this area by means of amendments to the law "On Payments for Pollution of the Environment and Use of Natural Resources" in our difficult times. During numerous meetings held under the auspices of the parliamentary committee on agro-industrial complex, transport, construction, natural resources and ecology, they complained of high tax burden. Moreover, not with respect to the main tax on the income of organizations, but payments for the use of subsoil and restoration of the mineral and raw materials base. Their dimensions were compared with those in neighboring Moldova and were called exorbitant. The order of the figures is the following - 5 lei and 54 rubles.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources agree with the fact that the tax burden for these enterprises should be alleviated. The calculations show a possibility of a 68 percent reduction. At the same time, of course, the ecological fund will not receive enough funds, since payments are targeted. However, the deputies of the profile parliamentary committee are convinced that the level of tax relief offered by the government for mines is clearly not enough. The position of the head of the committee on the issues of the agrarian and industrial complex Oleg Leontyev was fully supported by the Minister of Industry and Regional Economy Nikolai Gliga. He believes that, based on the results of the fiscal year, it will be possible to adjust tax rates, everything will depend on the volume of production and sales of products. The branch minister, the majority of the people's deputies agreed with the arguments of the head of the committee.
