“I signed a new resolution, which not only extends the validity of this pilot project until December 31, 2020, but also allows us to expand the geography and number of participants in this process,” Interfax quotes him.

Medvedev noted that three more regions will join the 13 regions where this system already operates.

In addition, starting next year, all retail outlets in Russian regions registered with legal entities will be able to participate in the pilot project.

“The binding of this technique to specific stores addresses is being removed, which was stipulated in the previous version of the resolution,” the Russian prime minister said.

In September, the Ministry of Industry and Trade talked about plans to introduce tax-free services throughout Russia.
