The need for the law Senator justified the concern of the population: “We don’t want any COP had a right to come to them and to initiate criminal proceedings”.

According to bushmina, the self-employed should be exempt from income tax, however, obliging them to pay a “municipalities in the bulb, fences, roads and yards”. In this case, the politician believes, will avoid social upheaval. While self-employed he took and those people who cultivate their own gardens, doing “personal subsidiary economy”.

The bill, prepared by Bosmina and his colleague Sergey Ryabuhina offers from 2019 to oblige self-employed to buy the patents, that is, to “advance tax payments”. Experts surveyed by RBC, however, pointed to the fact that advance payments are, in fact, become a form of “tax parasites”, since after the acquisition of the patent income from their activities the person may not get.

Currently self-employed in Russia include nannies, Tutors and maids, but the list is proposed to significantly expand.
