On November 15, the Government Commission on Legislative Activities approved bills to adjust the conditions of two preferential regimes – Regional Investment Projects (RIP) and Investment Protection and Promotion Agreements (SZPK), two federal officials told Vedomosti. In particular, it is planned to extend tax benefits under the RIP, but at the same time to exclude the possibility of compensating the investor for infrastructure costs from tax revenues for projects under the NWPC. The changes will affect only “especially large projects” with capital investments of 300 billion rubles or more. They must simultaneously be both a party to the SZPK and a registered participant of the RIP, it follows from the draft amendments, which Vedomosti got acquainted with.
The Ministry of Economic Development has proposed extending tax incentives for such projects until 2041, follows from the document. According to the current rules, the benefits under the RIP are terminated in 2028. In addition, for such projects, a “stabilization clause” will be provided on the invariability of tax conditions. At the same time, support within the framework of the RIP does not exclude the use of SZPK.
