Small businesses in St. Petersburg will lose tax benefits from 2027.
The tax rate for entrepreneurs using the simple taxation method is planned to increase from 7% to 15%. The changes will not affect manufacturing plants and IT companies.
For 8 years, our city has subsidized the difference with the federal rate. In the current conditions, the budget needs money," explained Deputy Legislative Assembly Dmitry Panov.
Canceling the benefit will save the city coffers about 20 billion rubles a year.
