Since 2014 Burden of Social Contributions of Employer May Be Easier
Balance of mandatory social contributions of the wage bill should be changed in favor of the employer, the chairman of the State Social Protection Fund (SSPF) Salim Muslimov said.
As he said at a press conference about the increase in the base part of labor pensions in the current rate of contributions for social insurance is 25 %, of which 22 % is paid by the employer, and only 3% is deducted from the salary of the employee.
"Also just and rational is the scheme "18 +7". Then the employers will voluntarily allocate funds not hiding the true size of their salaries," says Muslimov.
State Fund has taken the initiative to the government of the country in the hope that it is implemented by the beginning of 2014, the chairman of the fund said. - 17D-
