For 9 months of 2019, the volume of tax and non-tax revenues of the consolidated budget of the Republic of Tatarstan exceeded 205 billion rubles. The growth was 7.3% compared to the corresponding period last year.

“A lot of work has been done on budgeting. Zonal meetings, parliamentary hearings were held. The budget has so far been formed with a deficit of more than 3 billion rubles. Despite these difficulties, we retained all the programs that we had in previous years. We are also starting a number of new programs aimed at improving the quality of life of our citizens. Among them - the program “Our yard”, the program for the overhaul of hospitals, sports facilities, educational buildings and dormitories, educational institutions of culture. All this will require a well-coordinated work of the entire financial system, ”said Rustam Minnikhanov.
He emphasized that one of the reserves for increasing the budget revenues is the reduction of tax debt. Since the beginning of the year, it has decreased by 1 billion rubles. However, the level of debt remains significant - 8 billion rubles. “This work needs to be continued, attracting our branch ministries and district heads,” the President of the Republic of Tatarstan focused.

Marat Safiullin, head of the Federal Tax Service in the Republic of Tatarstan, noted that domestic tax administration technologies using unique Russian IT developments, as well as systemic interaction with the republic’s authorities, have a positive effect on the dynamics of tax revenues and insurance premiums. For 9 months in the republic, 611 billion rubles were credited to budgets of all levels, which is 13% more than the corresponding period in 2018, including payments to the consolidated budget of the republic increased by 15%. Despite the decline in world oil prices, almost 60% of the total tax revenue comes from mining.

Over 9 months, its revenue in the republic’s budget amounted to 73.9 billion rubles and increased by 6.1% compared to January-September last year. The main increase was generated by organizations in the oil industry due to rising oil prices and a positive exchange rate difference in the first half of the year, ”said Marat Safiullin.
As for the “salary” taxes, the income tax on individuals increased by January-September last year by 8.3%, insurance premiums - by 7.5%. This is higher than the growth rate of wages in the republic, which developed in January-August of this year at the level of 5.4%.

According to preliminary calculations, the expected amount of charges will amount to 7.2 billion rubles, which is 200 million rubles (2.9%) more than last year. The speaker recalled that property taxes must be paid no later than December 2.
“Another category of individuals requiring special attention is self-employed citizens.

It is important that today all these people work within the legal framework, ”he added.
