Unified Tax Regime to Launch in Far East and Arctic 2027
Starting January 1, 2027, a unified preferential regime will be introduced across the Russian Far East and Arctic regions, replacing existing special economic zones and offering investors a customizable package of benefits, including reduced insurance rates and federal investment tax deductions.
Consensus
- A unified preferential regime will begin operating on January 1, 2027.
- The new regime will cover the entire Russian Far East and Arctic regions.
- The regime will replace multiple existing preferential regimes.
- It will allow investors to choose from a set of benefits, described as a 'constructor'.
- The current preferential regimes for territories of advanced development and the Free Port of Vladivostok will remain in place.
- The new system is intended to complement, not contradict, existing support measures.
- The minimum investment threshold for accessing benefits remains under discussion.
