Our economy should not be a sieve where finances are dispersed into the pockets

The meeting with the RA President Raul Khadjimba and public of Gudauta district had finished.

"Projected revenues of the Gudauta district in 2015 without subsidies is amounted to 159 million rubles. However, only the maintenance of institutions of education, which in the area more than 30, we need 154 million. That is, in practice, all that will be earned. This suggests unacceptably low own budget area. It is necessary to make every effort to increase its reserves and there is potential for this", - said the President of Abkhazia Raul Khadjimba.

According to him, out of 100% of the tax base, in practice, work and give the state income taxes from 20 to 30% of enterprises. The rest are in the shade. Like everywhere in Abkhazia, in Gudauta district does not work an accounting system, there are significant shortfalls in tax revenue. All the services of the spa industry, including New Athos Cave and Ritsa Reserve, was put in the amount of 287 million rubles with tax deductions of $ 49 million rubles. A total of 2014 individuals and legal entities of Gudauta district paid into the budget  system of taxes, duties and other charges 154 300 000 rubles. "This amount is a fraction of the real potential", - said the President.

According to Raul Khadjimba, need to make an audit of the tax base. In Gudauta area, as well as across the country, a major of the small and medium business in general are not registered. This makes it possible to separate negligent officials to take the corresponding amounts in the same business, creating the appearance that the taxes are paid. In fact, the money does not reach the budget. In addition, there are various schemes of tax evasion. "The one who stole a lot of money today, should know: Yes, he has the ability to support a family. But we did not fight to live in Abkhazia, one or two or three! We should all live better. Taxes should be up to the state's pocket", - said the President.

"Our economy should not resemble a sieve, which, without stopping, pouring cash flows and are scattered into pockets and corruption schemes", - said Khadjimba. According to him, a lot has been done in this direction. Given specific instructions to tax optimization of tax administration. As a result, there is a marked increase in tax revenues since the beginning of this year, although usually the first two quarters of the most difficult to fill the budget. "Today we are going ahead with the plan of almost 70 million rubles. Yes, money is small, but this is an indicator of opportunity", - said the head of state. The adoption of legislative measures designed to stimulate investment activity in Abkhazia to facilitate the conduct of business. The President said: "Today we can say definitely, those leaders and officials who do not understand the need to change the situation, do not continue the work with us, and can not cope with the volume set before them by national and sectoral objectives, and soon will be relieved of their posts. In this regard, we will act firmly and consistently".
