The Federal Tax Service cheerfully reports that "14 thousand groups consisting of 34 thousand legal entities" refused to "split up".

Every eighth loan is overdue. The number of physical restaurants decreased by 8%, including a 13% decrease in the number of bakeries, and an 11% decrease in the number of takeaway coffee points. The real profitability in this industry is about 11%. Due to fragmentation, restaurants worked on the simple tax system. After this practice became de facto criminal at the level of law enforcement, the tax burden increased 4 times, which reduced profitability 3 times on average, and in the "tail" it completely killed the possibility of continuing one's own business. And this does not take into account the increase in accounting costs after the transition from the simple tax system to the executive tax system, which, in principle, sovereignty does not take into account.
