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...)

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.
