Leader of Perspective association, Anatol Shumchanka, said that entrepreneurs sent an appeal to the President of Belarus and the Council of Ministers to consider the possibility to revoke a decree "on hired workers". According to the expert, in 2009, after the decree entered into force , the state didn't get almost 40 million euro in taxes, comparing to 2006.
«We believe that the revoke of the decree will return individual entrepreneur sector’s control on civilized way», said Anatol Shumchanka. -» The kind of socio-economic benefits the government was going to get from carrying out the experiment — involving more than three hundred thousand workers of business sector — is not entirely clear. But now we can say: this experiment is a total failure».
According to Perspectives leader, the results «reached today by small business after adoption of the law -regulating the number of hired persons -are disappointing». «One of the indicators is the total number of entrepreneurs». According to Perspectives’ data, based on official statistics, the last relatively successful year — during which the number of entrepreneurs in the country increased by more than 9% (from 184 to 202 thousand) — was 2006 «, quotes Salidarnast the words of Anatol Shumchanka.
«It seems that all governmental policy in the sphere of individual entrepreneur regulation in recent years was concentrated and implemented only in the direction of tax burden increasing for entrepreneurs. And what are its real results? «, asks the head of Perspectives.
Anatol Shumchanka believes that unreasonable state policy in the field of regulation resulted in «loss of tax revenue in rubles, euros, dollars per every entrepreneur». «We think, it can be interesting, especially, for Ministry of Taxes and Duties, Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Economy. The policy of so-called «equalization of the tax burden for individual entrepreneurs and legal persons» caused direct losses of the budget», said the expert.
