Vice-President of the StekloSouz Association of Russia, President of LEADlight Group Vladislav Golubev, supported the participants' speech on the need to include in the list of sectors of the Russian economy that were most affected by the worsening situation due to the spread of a new coronavirus infection by manufacturers of electric lamps and lighting equipment (OKVED 27.40), t since the revenue of these enterprises decreased in April 2020. more than 30%. In addition, due to the forecasts of the Ministry of Economic Development, as well as independent experts and market participants, economic difficulties are assumed to be long-term, and the volume of imports of lighting products in the previous years has been growing all the time.
V.V. Golubev made the following suggestions:
-Grant tax incentives to enterprises in the lighting industry. In particular, apply to industry enterprises, primarily to Russian producers of consumer goods, a VAT rate of 6%. The positive experience of using such a measure has been shown by the example of a reduced VAT rate on food products and food processing. Thanks to this, Russia has achieved independence in providing Russians with food products of its own production, and has also taken high export positions.
- Due to the significant content in the imported products of the lighting industry of plastic, heavy metals and other materials and components requiring expensive utilization after the end of the life cycle, it is necessary to significantly increase the environmental tax rate for lamps and other imported lighting products. This measure will significantly support the domestic industry and increase the use of Russian materials and components of other industries.
Conference participants also spoke about the consolidation of efforts to form an effective position to support Russian manufacturers and bring them to the appropriate measures at the level of the Government of the Russian Federation.
Yours faithfully,
