Assessment of the impact of benefits and special tax regimes on the revenues of the CHI system

Abstract

In order to stimulate economic growth, a number of employers in Russia are provided with benefits and special tax regimes for paying contributions for compulsory health insurance of the working population with compensation for lost income of the Federal Compulsory Medical Insurance Fund (FCMIF) through an interbudgetary transfer. As part of the study, an assessment was made of the impact of these benefits on the income of the FCMIF and the sufficiency of the compensating transfer. The data obtained suggest that due to benefits and special tax regimes, even taking into account the interbudgetary transfer, the FCMIF can annually lose up to 0.5 trillion rubles of income. At the same time, the rate of compulsory medical insurance contributions for the working population in Russia is significantly lower than the rate of social health insurance in Eastern European countries with a level of production comparable to Russia. The authors conclude that it is necessary to revise the system of benefits and special tax regimes for the payment of compulsory medical insurance contributions and/or to increase the interbudgetary transfer to an amount sufficient to compensate for the shortfall in income of the FCMIF.
