Graded approach to taxpayers in Chechnya

The states tax policy must boost the development of various companies by creating favorable conditions for all spheres of industry and by using graded approach to taxation. Russias President Vladimir Putin repeatedly expressed this thought while commenting on the ongoing tax reforms. A graded approach to taxpayers takes into consideration peoples actual ability to pay taxes. This principle is revealed in two tax laws, adopted by the Chechen parliament- a tax on the companies property and on transport. Under the Russian Tax Code, a maximum rate of a tax on property for corporate bodies is 2,2%. Since the money paid by taxpayer go straight into regional budgets, the concrete size of a tax rate is determined by the countrys legislative bodies. Before the republican law came into force in 2007, there was a common 1% tax rate for all organizations- both for prosperous oil- producing companies and for poor agricultural sector. (more...)

25 January 2008 Rospotrebnadzor fines and explains
Workers of the Chechen department of the Federal Service for Oversight of Consumer Protection Rights and Welfare (Rospotrebnadzor) in the Naur region have worked out an effective measure to protect people's health. They strictly observe the system of fines and do not find it boring and useless to explain the norms to the organizations. Deputy Head of the Department Isira Dadayeva thinks that in 2007 the staff did a good job. Of course, 20 people for such a big district as Naur is not enough but most of the tasks were done exactly in time. The department's work is to protect the rights and welfare of consumers and observe the activity of numerous trade companies and organizations. Isira Dadayeva says that for the first time rule-breakers did not take the department seriously but quite soon the situation changed as they understood how much money they had to spend on fines. Still, the workers of the Naur department of Rospotrebnadzor do not only fine but explain the rules. They address the people on radio and television and hold regular meetings with them to explain the importance of sanitary norms. And this is not in vain.

Chechen history

Chechens (self-assumed name " nokhchi" ) are the world" s most ancient people with unique anthropological type and culture. They are the largest ethnic group in the North Caucasus (more than 1 million people). The neighbouring Ingush people are very similar in genotype, culture and religion. Together they form the Vainakh people related by blood, common history, territorial, economic and cultural links and language. Vainakhs (Chechens, Ingushes) are aborigines of the Caucasus and speak Nakh, a language that belongs to the Iberian-Caucasian language family. The Vainakh (Chechen) ethnic and cultural complex was formed on the basis of various aboriginal people. Historically the Chechen community was formed as multi-ethnic and it kept absorbing ethnic elements of nomadic people and neighbouring high-landers, the evidence of which being the non-Vainakh origin of many Chechen clans. The history of Chechnya can be described as a continuing struggle for freedom and independence against outside enemies, in which periods of prosperity alternated with defeats and new attempts to revive the statehood. In the early Middle Ages (4th-12th centuries) Chechens had to take up arms to defend themselves against invaders from Rome, Sasanid Iran, Arab Caliphate and Khazar Kaganate. The centuries-long struggle forged a military union of highlanders and laid the foundation for their statehood.
