The government intends to extend the moratorium on inspections of SMEs until the end of 2021.

The Russian government intends to extend the moratorium on scheduled inspections of small and medium-sized businesses until the end of 2021, as well as limit scheduled inspections from January 1, 2021.

It also proposes a "phased transition to a completely paperless interaction of control bodies and audited persons in the exchange of documents."

A separate point is devoted to simplifying procedures for obtaining permits, including licenses. This part assumes "the consolidation of a new system for regulating licensing activities, providing for a new structure for regulating permits." The document refers to the extension of the "automatic license" principle for 2021, which provides for the extension of individual licenses and permits according to the list approved by the Government of the Russian Federation.

In addition, it is planned to reduce the time required to obtain a license by 1.5–3 times, eliminate the need to renew the license in cases of changes in the address, name of the organization, place of residence of the entrepreneur and other similar cases, as well as "optimize the mechanism for sending notifications about the start of certain types of business activities."
