People of the freelance professions and free-spirited morals! A new initiative from Kirov Region Governor Belykh for you! If you’re not an office wage slave but a proud independent sole proprietor, or if you work, say, under a contract, then the taxes on your income are paid where you officially reside. And of course they’re spent in the least transparent and most brazen way imaginable. Does that bother you? Want to talk about it? Here’s the solution. Nikita Belykh is ready to designate some depressed little locality where you can become a tax resident and get a detailed report, accurate down to the ruble, on where your money went. The region will provide all the necessary infrastructure. A great idea, in my opinion. You’ll literally be able to see a line in the budget: 47 rubles went to Petrovich, the watchman at the village administration office, so they could get him a new shirt made and buy him a cap, because his old shirt and cap were chewed up by Borka, old lady Manya’s calf, while Petrovich was lying in an indecent state by her fence (before that, Petrovich had been beaten up by milkmaids coming home from work after he tried to grope them). As you can see, that’s a very high degree of specificity. Anyway, everyone, please go here and discuss the topic. Share your wishes and suggestions. I should note that the bonuses on offer include Vyatka saffron milk caps (a local mushroom delicacy) and the opportunity to grope milkmaids together with Petrovich. P.S. The idea really is a good one (not the part about the milkmaids, but the tax registration part).
