Individual entrepreneurs who fell under the mobilization were allowed not to pay insurance premiums for compulsory pension and medical insurance. This is reported by TASS with reference to the response of the Ministry of Finance to the request of the head of the Federation Council committee on economic policy Andrei Kutepov.
“Individual entrepreneurs who do not carry out entrepreneurial activities during the period of their military service on conscription in connection with mobilization are exempted from paying insurance premiums for compulsory pension and medical insurance for this period.”
The document also says that now an agreement has been concluded between the Ministry of Defense and the Federal Tax Service on the exchange of data of Russians.
In early October, Kommersant, citing analysts' estimates, reported that military mobilization and the resulting outflow of the population from Russia would lead to a collapse in the labor market. Even then, in less than two weeks from the moment the mobilization was announced, he lost at least 700,000 able-bodied citizens. This represents about 1% of the entire labor force in the country. Experts believe that problems in the market will intensify, as highly qualified specialists often leave abroad.
Also, many Russian companies have already complained that the Ministry of Defense is mobilizing leading specialists, who are often critical for enterprises. Requests are being sent to the government to release all founders of enterprises, managers, chief accountants, individual entrepreneurs and heads of farms from mobilization.
