Law enacted to bolster the financial resources of Khabarovsk region's municipalities
The Khabarovsk Krai Today news agency has reported a new law aimed at boosting local budgets in the region. This law, set to take effect from January 1, 2026, will bring significant changes to the revenue distribution from various taxes.
One of the key changes involves the revenue share from the use of the Simplified System (AUSN) in urban and rural settlements within the corresponding municipal district for municipal district budgets. The share is set to increase from 12.4% to 23.2%, potentially adding 587.3 million rubles to the local budgets. Similarly, in intersettlement areas, the revenue share will rise from 27% to 37.8%.
The budgets of districts and municipalities in the region, including Khabarovsk and Komsomolsk, are expected to benefit from this change. Preliminary estimates suggest that these two cities might receive approximately 450 million rubles in additional income.
The revenue share from the use of the Simplified System in urban and rural settlements within the corresponding municipal district for municipal district budgets will also see an increase, from 23% to 43%. The revenue share from transport tax for city district budgets will increase from 15% to 50%.
However, it's important to note that the impact of these changes on the overall budget of the Khabarovsk region is not mentioned. Additionally, it's not clear who will be responsible for allocating the additional funds or the specific effects on local budget revenues in the region and its municipalities from 2026 onwards.
The new law also includes a provision that will increase the revenue share from the tax on the use of the special tax regime for small businesses (AUSN) for municipal district budgets from 27% to 37.8%. The Khabarovsk region will also receive additional funds for road improvement.
The purpose of the new law beyond strengthening local budgets is not specified. For precise effects on Khabarovsk and Komsomolsk municipalities' budget revenues starting in 2026, official regional government or Russian federal fiscal policy documents would need to be consulted, as this is not covered in the search results provided.
The new law, aimed at boosting local budgets in the Khabarovsk Krai, will see changes in finance, particularly in revenue distribution from various taxes. A significant increase in the revenue share from the Simplified System (AUSN) is expected to add millions to municipal budgets, affecting districts and cities like Khabarovsk and Komsomolsk. Additionally, the tax on the use of the special tax regime for small businesses (AUSN) will also contribute more to municipal district budgets, further impacting the finances of the region's municipalities.
