The "Google tax" will take effect

The law, which has received the informal name "tax on Google", is designed to level the playing field for Russian and foreign Internet companies. However, industry representatives note that Russian companies, which use foreign marketplaces to sell their content (for example, Apple iTunes or AppStore, Google Play) may also be subject to the document, and they will have to pay VAT twice.

There is still no single position on the market on how to implement the law. Companies say that they work in accordance with Russian law, or prefer not to comment on the situation at all. Some online market players covered by the new law have admitted that they will raise prices for consumers. In particular, the American corporation Google sent a notification to users of its services about a possible increase in the cost of subscriptions by 18%. Others noted that the cost of services will remain the same, but did not specify how they will compensate for the cost of paying VAT in Russia.

As for the positive aspects of the law, State Duma deputy (LDPR) Andrey Lugovoy notes that the "Google tax" will annually bring the country 10 billion rubles. At the same time, he noted that the rise in prices for electronic services should not be feared, since "the market will regulate everything."

A new type of punishment is introduced

A new type of criminal punishment - forced labor - will become another alternative to imprisonment.

The convicts will be in correctional centers and the provisions of the Labor Code will apply to them almost to the full extent, with the exception of the right to independently choose a job and quit. In addition, convicts will be banned from drinking alcohol, playing cards and tattooing.

In correctional centers there will be no such protection as in a correctional colony, but a convict can leave the territory of the center only with the permission of the administration, and if he has received the right to live outside the center, he will have to report four times a month.

The convict can use a mobile phone and the Internet, contact doctors if necessary under a medical policy, and the right to leave in the amount of 18 days after the first six months of work is also provided.

By decision of the court, from the salary of the convicted person, from 5% to 20% will be withheld from the state income, in addition, he will reimburse the costs of living in a hostel and payment for claims for damages.

When hiring, the Federal Penitentiary Service will try to take into account the qualifications of the convict, but this will depend on vacancies in the labor market and on employers. To a greater extent, such convicts can expect unskilled labor, where migrants are more often employed today.

From October 1, 2017, the total amount of fines for traffic violations, after which travel restrictions are imposed, will be increased. If now a trip abroad can fail if the amount of fines has reached 10 thousand rubles, now this threshold is raised to 30 thousand rubles.
Tax free and VAT
Foreigners will now be able to recover part of the cost of goods exported from the Russian Federation. From October 1, the tax free system will work in Russia, which will allow you to return the value-added tax (VAT) of goods purchased in the country after leaving the country. It will be possible to return 18% of the total amount in this way, but the operator company will deduct from it the percentage for its services. The Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev spoke about this in the summer of 2017.
It will be possible to return 18% of the total amount in this way, but the operator company will deduct from it the percentage for its services.
The cost of preparing and launching this system, according to the estimates of the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, amounted to about 260 million rubles. Citizens of countries will not be able to use it, along with Russian Federation members of the Eurasian Economic Union: Kazakhstan, Belarus, Armenia and Kyrgyzstan.

Old people don't belong here

MOSCOW, Feb 21 - PRIME. Russians are more pessimistic than the inhabitants of the Earth on average, they look at the prospects for the economic situation in the current year, however, citizens do not expect a serious deterioration in the economy: almost half of the inhabitants of the Russian Federation believe that from the point of view of the economy, 2018 will be the same as the previous one, according to a study by the International Association of Independent Research Agencies Gallup International, which is available to RIA Novosti.

In November-December 2017, Gallup conducted its annual Year-End Survey among people from different countries, which is dedicated to the results of the outgoing year. Almost 54,000 people in 55 countries were interviewed as part of the project. The survey in Russia was conducted by the research holding "Romir", within the framework of the study, 1.5 thousand respondents were interviewed according to a nationally representative sample.

"When asked 'What do you think 2018 will be like economically?', just over a quarter of global respondents (28%) said it will be a year of economic prosperity. This is a dramatic reduction from the year before, when 42% of the world's population expected positive economic changes from 2017," the study says.

At the same time, the message adds, the number of negative assessments of the previous year was 22%, while in 2017 it increased to 30%. In addition, the proportion of those who believe that 2018 will be the same as the last year from an economic point of view has grown to 36% from 31%.

As a result, the global index of economic hope - calculated as the difference between positive and negative responses - turned negative in last year's survey to minus 2 percentage points. A year earlier, it was 20 percentage points. “Thus, at the end of 2017, the share of economic optimists turned out to be less than the share of economic pessimists,” concludes Gallup.

STABILITY OF EXPECTATIONS IN RUSSIA

If we consider the results of the study in Russia, then only 14% of Russians believe that 2018 will be a year of economic prosperity. A year earlier, the proportion of optimists was 17%. Another 30% of respondents, as in the previous survey, believe that the current year will bring economic problems. Finally, almost half of Russians (49%) believe that 2018 will be the same as the previous one.

“As for the dynamics of economic assessments of Russian residents over the past five years, after a peak of 33% of positive expectations in 2015, a predictive decline can be observed. At the same time, the share of negative assessments is declining after a record value of 54% obtained at the end of 2013. Gradually, the share of answers about economic problems decreased and stabilized at the level of 30%.

"But the number of opinions supporting the proposition that next year will be the same as last year has increased and amounted to 49%. Thus, almost half of the Russians who took part in the survey tend to see some stability in the country's economic policy," the study adds. .

According to the results of the survey at the end of 2017, the index of economic hope in Russia was minus 16 percentage points. A year earlier, it was minus 14 percentage points, and in 2015, the indicator was positive and amounted to 6 percentage points.

"The mood of the Russians is quite natural. No major changes have occurred in 2017 and are not expected even against the backdrop of the March elections. That is why there is an increase in conservative assessments in the answers of respondents from Russia," said Andrey Milekhin, Vice President of Gallup International, whose words are quoted in release.

SITUATION IN THE WORLD

The survey also included a list of the most optimistic and pessimistic countries in terms of economics. On the whole, African countries are most optimistic about the economic situation, followed by the states of South Asia and Oceania, and the countries of Western Asia are in third place.

Nigeria topped the Economic Hope Index with 59 percentage points, followed by Vietnam (55 percentage points) and Indonesia (53 percentage points). Fourth place in the ranking of optimistic countries is occupied by India (46 percentage points), fifth - the Philippines (32 percentage points).

The most pessimistic country in the 2017 survey was Italy (minus 50 percentage points), followed by Greece (minus 43 percentage points). They are followed by Turkey (minus 40 percentage points), Ukraine and Iran (minus 38 percentage points each).

"The hostilities and the tense situation in the Middle East led to a sharp drop in the index of their economic hope. On the contrary, in the countries of Western and Eastern Europe, there are prospects for stabilizing destructive economic processes, which is reflected in a small but growth in the global economic index of these countries, although so far all still in the negative zone," Milekhin said.
