The Russian State Duma has approved amendments to the Budget Code and other legislative acts aimed at supporting businesses operating in regions facing operational difficulties. These changes, passed on June 11, include exemptions from mandatory cash register use in specific areas.

Entrepreneurs operating in settlements where active hostilities are underway or where restrictions on communication networks are in place will be exempt from the requirement to use cash registers. This measure is intended to ease the burden on businesses in these challenging environments.

The specific list of settlements eligible for this exemption will be determined and approved by the regional government where martial law has been introduced by presidential decree. The amendments also outline the procedure for removing a settlement from this list, ensuring a clear and defined process for implementation. This aims to provide clarity and stability for businesses operating in affected regions.
