A bill on foodsharing will be submitted to the State Duma for consideration at the spring session.
This initiative could change the approach to the issue of selling products with an expiring shelf life.
The chairman of the State Duma Committee on Youth Policy, Artem Metelev, shared the details. This was reported by TASS .
He said that consultations are currently being conducted on the document and risks are being assessed.
Foodsharing, as emphasized, means distributing products with an expiring shelf life to those in need.
We are talking about products that do not pose a danger when consumed.
The bill announced by the deputy proposes to exempt entrepreneurs from the special register from VAT.
Metelev noted that as part of the work on the project, a security and control system was developed.
Administrative fines will be imposed for violation of requirements for foodsharing products.
The deputy explained that the adoption of the bill on foodsharing will help increase the supply of humanitarian aid to regions in need.
