“From July 1, throughout the country, all regions should have the right to introduce a regime for the self-employed - everywhere, throughout the country. This means that people will be able to officially and calmly work, ”Putin said.

He also proposed lowering the age to obtain self-employed status from 18 to 16 years.

“According to estimates, about three million of our citizens will be able to use this right. At the same time, such start-up entrepreneurs will also receive additional tax benefits, namely tax capital in the amount of one minimum wage, so as not to distract resources from developing their business to pay tax, ”the president added.

Earlier, the Federal Tax Service of Russia specified the procedure for using the tax bonus for the self-employed.
