Tax benefits and other local benefits for business running investment projects in Udmurtia

Land tax: 0% for the duration of the TOR (standard rate 1.5% of cadastral value).
Tax Benefits
Udmurtia uses all opportunities provided by federal law to run business with reduced tax rates. This helps to lower start-up costs for new businesses, allowing them to save resources and invest them in equipment, construction, renovation or rental of production facilities and staff hiring.
Reduced rates for businesses using the Simplified Tax System (USN)
1% — for taxpayers with the "income" tax base;
5% — for taxpayers with the "income minus expenses" tax base.
These benefits could be applied only to organizations and sole proprietors whose main economic activity matches the list approved by regional law:
Manufacturing industries (OKVED section C, except classes 11, 12, and 19):
Mail-order and online retail trade (section G, group 47.91, except subgroups 47.91.3 and 47.91.4);
Information and communication activities (section J, classes 61–63);
Real estate operations (section L, class 68);
Professional, scientific, and technical activities (section M, classes 69−75).
Reduced rates of 5% and 14% for "income" and "income minus expenses" respectively remain available for other USN sole proprietors carrying out specific activities listed in Government of the Russian Federation Order No. 4176-r dated 30.12.2025 (this list covers nearly all business types).
For sole proprietors registering for the first time in 2026 so called "tax holidays" are applies — a 0% rate under the USN for activities specified in the same Government Order.
A 0% profit tax rate on the portion distributed to the regional budget applies to companies listed in the tegister of small technology companies. So instead of the standard 25%, businesses will pay only 8%.
Tax benefits for future residents of the special economic zone "Izhevsk"
A special economic zone (SEZ) covering 130 hectares is planned to appear close to Izhevsk. That territory is equipped with energy resources and transport infrastructure. A pool of future residents is currently being formed. Once the SEZ status is granted, companies establishing production here will benefit from the most favorable tax conditions.
Profit tax: 9% for the first 5 years since the date first profit achieved; 12% for years 6−10 (standard rate 25%).
Property tax: 0% for 10 years (standard rate 2.2%).
Land tax: 0% for 5 years (standard rate 1.5% of cadastral value).
