“Government support measures have become an important driver of our sustainable growth: we make use of the available instruments for IT-accredited companies, support measures for MTCs, Skolkovo residency status, and residency at the Morion Digital Technopark. This enables us to reduce the tax burden and allocate more resources to product and team development. Under the MTC framework, our simplified tax system rate has been reduced from 5% to 1%, while IT accreditation lowers payroll-related contributions from 30% to 15%.
As a result, we have optimized costs and reallocated resources toward technological development and business scaling. Going forward, we plan to continue leveraging these measures and expand our participation in профильных programs,” shared Dmitry Ponosov.
