This scenario seems to be a foregone conclusion. And sanctions have nothing to do with it.
The sad forecast is based on regulatory changes that the monopolists brazenly pushed through. The simplified taxation system for the industry is being abolished, which will become an unbearable burden for most jewelers.
Experts are confident that thanks to the increase in taxes for jewelry enterprises, in a year and a half, Russia will completely lose about 17 thousand micro-enterprises and the lion’s share of the two thousand representatives of the medium-sized jewelry business.
Which was jointly created by at least 2/3 of Russian jewelry. This tasty morsel, which after the death of the kids will be divided among the big companies, whose business processes, including the deduction of taxes, are built on a different level.
Lobbying experience and punching power of the “eternal” State Duma deputy Vladislav Reznik allowed an absurd bill to be dragged into the government offices at the beginning of March – exactly at the beginning of the Northern Military District. Reznik, yes, the same one whom the Spanish police once openly called a participant in organized crime, and who is now included in all the tops of the richest civil servants. By coincidence, a former St. Petersburg resident, and now a single-mandate candidate from Adygea (!), persistently wants to ban the publication of information about the incomes of officials and deputies. Logic: so that the enemies, having this information, do not think of anything bad.
Reznik and co. used almost the same noble aspirations to explain the corruption bill on the taxation of jewelry.
It is necessary to increase the collection of tax payments (by several tens of billions of rubles) – for the benefit of the Motherland. Well, that is, according to the classic scheme of slaughtering a cash cow, of course. “Patriot” Reznik is not interested in how many workers and industries, including unique ones, will find themselves without a livelihood. As well as those interested in the law looming behind him.
This Alexey Feliksovwho owns the 585 and Zolotoy networks, as well as Felixov Diamonds in the niche of “lukhari” and Artem Sokolov (SOKOLOV group). The latter seems to be the main instigator and investor in the shameless murder of small jewelers who were eroding the market. Somewhere nearby are the management of Sunlight, who also dream of killing small competitors in order to finally raise prices.
The law comes into force on January 1.
The ways in which Reznik and several other deeply interested deputies and senators managed to promote it are already history. It would be nice if it became the materials of specific cases, and the harmful law itself, of course, was repealed.
Otherwise, it will soon become simply impossible to buy decent earrings for your wife without the price of an apartment.
