According to the results of 2017, the Magadan Region was included in the A group of the National Rating of investment climate conditions in terms of the Availability and Quality of Regional Legislation on Mechanisms for Investor Protection and Support. This confirms that: the legal framework for investory support was established in the region.

Investment activities in the region are regulated by the Law of the Magadan Region of December 27, 2013 No. 1681-ОZ On Investment Policy in the Magadan Region. This law provides investors with stable operations in a favorable environment, and the Magadan Region with the required amount of investments. Agreements under the model of public private partnership have been executed in the region since 2008. Project implementation is undertaken by an investor, while the regional authorities provide support for the preparation and approval of the necessary documents.

An agency was established in the region for attracting investments, and the Magadan regional innovative business incubator is in operation. The project support schedule under the one-stop scheme applies. The multi-functional center of Magadan provides businessmen with more than 100 state municipal services. Permission for residential and capital construction in the special economic area can be obtained within 65 days, and within 80 days for other types of capital construction.

A common service for technological connection is being established. Its establishment will enable electric connection issues to be solved under the one-stop scheme.

Time limits for the state registration of legal entities were significantly reduced from 5 to 3 days. This service is now provided through the multi-functional centers. Rights in non-residential objects and land lots can be registered within 5 business days. Land lots for the implementation of large scale investment projects can be obtained without bid procedures.

For organisations implementing investment projects in the region, there is a special taxation regime in terms of the income tax. In particular, tax holidays for start-ups for 5 years from the commencement of operations are provisioned. The tax rate for the next 5 years is just 10%. Moreover, several laws were adopted in the region that reduce the tax rate by two times for some taxpayers operating under the simplified taxation system.

Tax holidays were introduced for emerging entrepreneurs using a simplified or patent taxation system. The right for tax holidays is provided to individual entrepreneurs continuously operating for two years after registration. Until December 2020, the tax rate for them will be 0%.

Since 1999, a Special Economic Area has been operating in the Magadan Region that features comfortable tax and customs conditions for business. The preferential tax regime provides for the partial exemption from the income tax and tax on mining operations in the share of the federal budget. The customs regime provides for the application of a free customs area procedure: foreign goods (except for those, subject to excise taxes) are imported, placed, and used without any duties, taxes or measures of non-tariff regulation. In 2014, the Special Economic Area regime was extended until 2025.

Measures aimed at investor involvement and the establishment of new production facilities are producing results. During the last 3 years, the turnover of small and medium size companies and individual entrepreneurs in the region increased by 13.4%. According to the estimate of the National Rating, the number of small businesses per 1,000 residents of the Magadan Region was 68.6. This is significantly higher than the average Group A index, which is 59.6.
The share of small business in state purchasing is increasing. During the last year alone, the total amount of contracts with small businesses exceeded 1.5 bn rubles. This is 17.4% of the total amount of purchasing, which exceeds the norm of at least 15% provisioned by state legislation.

The infrastructure of the Magadan Region is also developing. Roads are being reconstructed in the region, and the Magadan commercial sea port is being upgraded. In the near future, it is planned to build a passenger terminal at the Magadan international airport. The introduction of the underwater Sakhalin-Magadan communication line increased internet access speed by 20 times.

There are many types of business support in the region. Additional information on this issue is available on the web-sites of the executive authorities, the official portal of the Magadan Region, the Investment portal of the Magadan region, and web-site of the Regional Fund for the Promotion of Entrepreneurship.

Today, the Region can offer investors several promising projects.
