Business association "Delovaya Rossiya" has clarified that reports in some media outlets about a program of proposals allegedly prepared by the organization for authorities do not reflect the agenda of its upcoming forum scheduled for October 15.

Chairman of the association Alexei Repik noted that the document circulated online by several publications is only partially related to the issues planned for discussion at the event.

One exception is the idea of using an investment tax credit, including both basic and deferred options. According to Repik, this tool could play a significant role in reviving investment activity.

Repik emphasized that business representatives have raised a wide range of complex and controversial issues at various expert platforms. Some proposals have sparked notable discussions within the professional community, and certain ideas are indeed planned for discussion at the forum.

However, according to Repik, the proposals listed in recent media publications do not belong to the official agenda of the event. Accurate information will be available during the forum directly from representatives of the business association, he clarified.

Separately, Repik refuted claims that "Delovaya Rossiya" supports the alleged premature termination of experimental tax regimes. He stated that the organization does not propose such a version.

At the same time, Repik believes it is necessary to soon determine approaches to the future tax system for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). In his opinion, discussions on the future tax model for SMEs should begin in advance.
