The creation and maintenance of regional registers of startups is provided for by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of September 30, 2022 No. 1729 "On approval of the Regulation on state accreditation of Russian organizations operating in the field of information technology". As follows new zealand cell phone number list from paragraph 8 of this document, the procedure for the formation and maintenance of the register of startups on the territory of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation (with the exception of Moscow) must be approved by the highest executive body of the constituent entity of the Federation in agreement with the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media of Russia.
Maksut Shadayev said that the purpose of creating such registries is the need for officials to have a tool for identifying startups when providing support measures aimed at the IT sector. "If a company was created less than three years ago, it may have an income of less than 1 million rubles. How can you confirm that a company is a startup? Provide an extract from the relevant regional register, but so far such a register exists only in Moscow. We will recommend that all regions create such registries. Since startups have simple accreditation conditions, there is a high risk of fraud: an LLC with two employees will qualify for all benefits, including a deferment from mobilization. Therefore, we need confidence that this company will actually develop IT projects. So far, in all regions except Moscow, you can apply for benefits as a startup without an extract. But be prepared that within 1-2 months, all regions will begin reviewing startups for verification of their plans, and you will need to attach the relevant extracts," Maksut Shadayev said in early October 2022.
A representative of the press service of the federal Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media told ComNews that in November the ministry sent a letter on the creation of startup registries to the governors of all regions. "Currently, regulatory legal acts governing the activities of regional startup registries are being developed in the regions. At the same time, IT startups can already receive state accreditation and use support measures. In accordance with Regulation on State Accreditation No. 1729, if there is no startup registry in a region, a company created less than 3 years before the application submission date and whose income from the moment of creation does not exceed 1 million rubles, can receive state accreditation without taking into account the requirement for the share of income from IT activities of more than 30%. At the same time, compliance with other requirements for accreditation of companies is necessary," commented a representative of the press service of the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media of Russia.
