Енді сабын, сусабыннан бастап опа-далап, ойыншыққа дейін қымбаттауы мүмкін
Now, everything from soap and shampoo to toothpaste and toys may become more expensive. Because the Ministry of Trade is going to expand the list of goods subject to labeling. Accordingly, in the next two years, vegetable oil, food products, canned goods and sweet pastries, buns, and cakes will also have a "passport". Entrepreneurs say that this will create problems, especially for small shops near their homes. It is even possible that those who cannot afford the extra costs will close. Why should we worry in vain? In recent years, the Government has stepped up the fight against the shadow market. And at the forefront of this is the introduction of a system of mandatory labeling of goods. Now it is easy to determine the origin and route of cigarettes and alcohol, shoes and medicines. Now food and confectionery products, canned goods and household chemicals, and toys are going to be included in this list. That is, mandatory labeling will be implemented in stages. But entrepreneurs say that coding products that people consume a lot in everyday life is very harmful. LAZZAT DOSMAGAMBETOVA, entrepreneur: Most of our local shops are entrepreneurs, they are self-employed people. That is, since they are the sellers and the ones who put the goods on the shelves in the store, we will need to buy special equipment for us and hire someone to work with it. Because these days, due to increased costs, these local shops may close. We also learned the opinion of the capital's residents regarding this initiative. The residents we spoke to said that if labeling ultimately leads to higher prices, there is no need to put labels on the goods. The ministry believes that labeling will reduce illegal trade and increase tax revenues. According to their estimates, domestic products will also be competitive. However, experts say that this conclusion is not without criticism. For example, according to Saparbay Zhabayev, tax revenues, if exceeded, may increase by 2-3 percent. However, small entrepreneurs will incur losses. SAPARBAY ZHOBAEV, economist: When we have a huge amount of smuggled construction materials, clothes, and other things without establishing order at the border, without establishing order at customs, then labeling will simply be additional funds, additional costs for our business. The expert also says that cunning entrepreneurs who are promoting the glory of the shadow business will find a way to circumvent any restrictions. For example, there are already businessmen who, despite the ban, are buying millions of excise stamps from foreign countries. And labeling goods is not a problem for them at all. Therefore, it is necessary to fully digitize the activities of the border and checkpoints first. #Informbureau #31arena #MainNews #News #31arena
