Crimean authorities have decided to postpone the introduction of a resort tax until 2021. According to the head of the republic, Sergei Aksyonov, introducing any fees on tourists is currently impractical.
According to him, participation in the experiment is economically It's unprofitable. "When we sat down and looked at the economics, the prospects for all municipalities to earn between 30 and 50 million rubles a year were high, but the administration would take quite a bit of time and there would be certain problems. What's the point of raising money for the sake of raising money? If we do the math, this administration would cost as much as the money raised," he said, according to RIA Novosti.
It is worth noting that, a little earlier, the Ministry of Finance proposed introducing a daily hotel tax throughout Russia starting January 1, 2023, to replace the current resort tax.
