The State Duma will consider a bill on the regulation of creative industries. These include the game room
A group of Russian senators and deputies proposed to streamline the work of creative industries in the country. The relevant bill was submitted to the State Duma for consideration.
According to officials, there are currently about 20 laws in Russia that regulate various creative industries. However, they have different conceptual apparatus, and more than ten authorities are responsible for their execution. This makes it difficult to develop a creative economy.
The authors of the bill write that it is necessary to agree on what is considered a creative industry. They have prepared the following definition: "this is an economic activity directly related to the creation, promotion in domestic and foreign markets, distribution and (or) sale of creative products with uniqueness and economic value."
Such industries include, in particular, the sphere of "information and telecommunication technologies". According to the bill, it includes software developers, game studios, organizations specializing in data processing, media, advertising companies and publishing companies.
Officials want to create a unified register of participants in the creative industries, which will contain information about companies registered in Russia, individual entrepreneurs and individuals applying a special tax regime "Tax on professional income". They also propose to prescribe what measures of state support and under what conditions the industries will receive.
