FEDC presented government support measures for business at the Trans-Baikal Foreign Economic Forum "New Horizons – 2026"

Abdurazak Razakov, Deputy Director of the Investment Department of the Far East and Arctic Development Corporation (FEDC), spoke at the panel session "The Trans-Baikal Territory: A Strategic Infrastructure Hub for East and West" as part of the Trans-Baikal Foreign Economic Forum "New Horizons – 2026," of which FEDC is a partner. A representative of the Corporation provided a detailed overview of the current instruments of state support for investors, including preferential regimes for businesses: advanced development areas (ASEZs), the International Advanced Development Area (IADA), the Free Port of Vladivostok, the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation (AZRF), and the preferential regime on the Kuril Islands of the Russian Federation (KIRF).

As Abdurazak Razakov noted, the Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far East and FEDC provide investors with a wide range of tax breaks and administrative preferences. These include a zero-rate income tax to the federal budget for 5 to 20 years depending on the economic regime, a reduction in insurance premiums (in the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation, 75% of insurance premiums are subsidized, while in the KIRF and IADA, the rate has been reduced to 7.6%), and preferential rates for property tax, land tax, and mineral extraction tax. Residents can also use the free customs zone procedure, which allows for the optimization of import duties and VAT on foreign equipment.

Particular attention was paid to the International Advanced Development Area (IADA). The law establishing the IADA entered into force on January 1, 2026. The regime aims to stimulate high-tech, high-value-added production and attract foreign investment. In addition to standard incentives (0% federal income tax for 10 years, 7.6% insurance premiums for 10 years), IADA offers a 15-year stabilization clause, a special regulatory and oversight procedure, and the option to establish a management company jointly with a foreign investor.
