Exemptions cover land and property, VAT and transport tax. Additionally, these companies will be eligible for 7.6% reduced insurance premiums."We are waiting for investors who want to work in Russia. We invite all investors – from Russia, China, from Japan. I am sure that the [preferential tax] regime will be implemented," Trutnev said, adding that he will personally oversee the project's progress.On Monday, Russia withdrew from a negotiation with Japan on signing a post-World War 2 peace treaty and joint initiatives in the Kuril Islands, upon which Tokyo has sovereignty claims.
