Increase of utility payments in a year. Today is the annual day of tariff increase.

The amounts in utility payments, which we receive in August, will grow by an average of 4 percent. It is lower than inflation and half as much as in 2015, To the Russian newspaperLight, water, gas and heat will rise in price.

Attention! It is only about the communal resources. Prices for housing services are not subject to state regulation, and are established by management companies in agreement with the owners of housing, said Deputy Minister of Construction and Housing Andrei Chibis. And he added that if the costs of paying for communal and housing services, as well as contributions to capital repairs in the total income of the family exceed 22 percent, then it has the right to a subsidy. In housing services, we recall, are the maintenance in due order of the adjacent territory, current repairs common property, cleaning of porches, garbage disposal and so on.

And for the communal board this year, the government set the maximum indexation for each region. The lowest threshold of aggregate payment growth was in North Ossetia (3 percent), in the Novosibirsk region (3.5), Altai Territory (3.7). The highest threshold is in Moscow (7.5 percent), St. Petersburg (6.5), and the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) (6.5).

Gasoline passed to the fifth class

Russia from July 1 passes on motor fuel is not lower than the ecological fifth class, or Euro-5 (the standard that regulates the content of harmful substances in the exhaust gas).

In retail for the sale of gasoline and diesel, information about the fuel grade, including the ecological class, should be placed in a place accessible to the consumer, including gas stations and cash registers received at the gas station.

If any of the links responsible for handling fuel (from the manufacturer to the gas station) violate the technical regulations and, for example, sell Euro-4 under the guise of Euro-5, then it will face a fine. For legal entities in case of repeated violation, it amounts to 1 million rubles and stop work for up to 90 days with confiscation of the offense.

Fuel shortage due to the transition to Euro-5 is not expected, and, therefore, retail prices will not receive additional premiums due to this factor, the president of the Russian Fuel Union, Yevgeny Arkusha, promises.

SMIC reached 7,5 thousand

Tomorrow, the minimum wage (SMIC) increases by almost 21 percent to 7.5 thousand rubles. Employers throughout Russia will not be able to pay employees less than this.

This will affect the interests of nearly a million workers. Of these, 87 percent work in state and municipal institutions.

The increase in the minimum wage is the next step of the Ministry of Labor of Russia to raise the minimum wage to the subsistence level. It is planned to compare the two indicators by 2020.

The cost of living for the first quarter of 2016 per capita in Russia amounted to an average of 9,776 rubles a month, for a working Russian - 10,524, for a pensioner - 8,025, for a child - 9,677 rubles. Thus, from July 1, the minimum wage will be 77 percent of the average subsistence minimum.

"Although the number of people receiving a salary at the minimum wage level is not so great, but at a minimum wage, as the base amount, the proportions in the remuneration of highly qualified specialists are tied," notes Alexander Safonov.

We will check the vodka at the checkout

From July 1, when buying alcohol in the store, we can determine whether it is slick or legal.

Everyone who sells alcohol must begin to report on each liter at retail. To do this, shops, even the smallest, need to connect special equipment, which is in the Unified State Information System for the Accounting of Production and Turnover of Alcohol (EGAIS).

It has long received information about all the alcohol produced in the plants. From the beginning of 2016, information about parties of alcohol, received at retail outlets, also flows there. Now the EGAIS will record the sale of each bottle to the final buyer. Exceptions will be shops in countryside. For them, this rule will work only in a year.

So, now any buyer of alcohol, "pierced" in the EGAIS, can be sure that this is a safe product.

Determine whether the seller is entering data into the system when selling a bottle is also quite simple. If a bar code reader is in use at the store, that is, each item "breaks through" each product, then alcohol must be "pierced" twice to transfer data to the EGAIS. Once the data is removed from the barcode for entering them into the internal system  store, the second time the qr-code is read from the excise mark, this is the data transfer to the EGAIS. Most large stores are already working on this system.

If the store uses cash desks, where all prices are entered manually, alcohol should be scanned at least once. Even if there is no Internet in the store, the seller must do it. All data is stored on a special terminal, and once in three days it will have to be worn where there is a connection to the Global Web. For example, to the post office. And transmit all the data.

Rosalkogolregulirovaniye "Rossiyskaya Gazeta" reported that 95% of all retail outlets are connected to the EGAIS.

Do not sell more than 20 cigarettes!

Since July 1, Russia has banned the sale of cigarettes in packs of more than 20 pieces.

Big packs are more attractive to buyers, because they save 10-20 percent of the price. And people smoke more. Sales of cigarettes in such packs grew significantly last year. Now this is the end.

"First Aid" was divided

The ambulance will need to reach the patient in 20 minutes. This is when it comes to an emergency call.

New rules for "fast" are approved by the order of the Ministry of Health.

What's new? First, the visiting brigades will be subdivided into general and specialized ones. The latter - to the brigades of anesthesiology, resuscitation, including pediatric, psychiatric, aeromedical, emergency and advisory.

Secondly, the ambulance, as already mentioned, should be on the road no more than 20 minutes from the time of the call. But the regions were given the opportunity to specify the time taking into account local specifics.

Thirdly, the requirements for the staffing schedule have been changed. Henceforth, it should not have such positions, as, for example, the driver-paramedic. Or steer, or treat. In addition, nurses and nurses will appear in the ambulance brigades. Nurses will go on calls in pairs with a doctor or paramedic. They will not have the right to provide medical assistance on their own. And the orderlies are part of the psychiatric teams.

As an "ambulance" doctor in Moscow Galina Mikryukova explained to the "Rossiyskaya Gazeta", the order also assumes that the dispatcher will be able to "sort" the calls. On urgent and urgent. Emergency help is when something suddenly happened to a person, for example, the heart was sharply ill, there was a trauma.

Emergency care is needed for people who are sick for some time. In fact, this is the kind of help that polyclinics should provide. Now the dispatcher will be able to transfer these calls to them. And that is especially important!
  Medical services of "first aid" remain free and accessible to all who need them.

Benefits on land untied from registration

Go to the inspection at the place of residence for registration of benefits on land tax is now not required. From July 1, 2016, an employee of any tax inspection, to which a citizen applied, is required to accept an application for the registration of a benefit.

The norm of the Federal Law N 396-FZ of 29.12.2015, which came into force, will be useful to those who go on long trips or live not at the place of residence. It also saves time for those who spend most of their time, for example, at work and want to formalize a benefit, so to speak, without interruption from production.

In addition, the new rule will help taxpayers to apply for a benefit without queue. "In densely populated areas or localities, there are always big lines in the tax, this can be avoided by going to the inspection with fewer queues or without them at all," advises Pavel Ivchenkov, an expert at the Public Duma Center.

Federal benefits for land tax are granted to a number of categories of citizens, including heroes of the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation, disabled people and people affected by radioactive radiation. The full list can be found on the website of the Federal Tax Service. The tax base for land tax from such beneficiaries is reduced by up to 10 thousand rubles.

The maximum increase in tariffs in the Moscow region was 10%, and the average growth rate at the level 4% .

In the first half of 2016, tariffs remained at the level of 2015. The amount of payment for utilities  for most residents of the Moscow region ( 78% , or 5.6 million people) from July 1, 2016 will increase by an average of 4% . Such an average growth index was established by the decision of the regional Government.

Before the elections to the State Duma they promise to raise not much

Chairman of the Regional Committee on Prices and Tariffs Natalia Ushakova  reported that in the whole history of regulation, the growth of tariffs (as well as the aggregate communal payment) will be below inflation. Ushakov associates this with a decrease in the number of networks in a state below the average. Although it should be said that networks of "unsatisfactory" quality in the Moscow region remains more than half of the total.

Also, the process of introducing uniform tariffs for housing and communal services in municipalities continues. Currently, already 40 Moscow region districts and districts have introduced uniform tariffs.

Not all municipalities increase tariffs to 4%. In some areas growth will be from 6%   before 10% . This is due to the implementation of investment programs in the provision of housing and communal services (modernization of supply networks).

Tariffs for electricity for the population will increase by 6,5% , for heat - on 3,5% , water and water supply - on 3,8% . Gas will rise in price on 2% .

In particular, "Odintsovo Vodokanal" increased the payment for water supply. The cubic meter of water will now cost 30.68 rub. It's on 2.35 rubles. more expensive than in the first half of 2016. The fee for water disposal will also 31.66 rub. per cubic meter.

PJSC "Mosenergosbyt" from July 1 sets the cost of one kilowatt-hour for a one-rate account in the amount of 4.81 rubles. The old tariff, effective from 2015, was 4.54 rub. The price of electricity for rural residents will go up, now kWh will be 3.37 rubles.  (formerly 3,18 ). The same amount is paid for electricity and city residents, in whose apartments stationary electric cookers are installed. For comparison, residents of Moscow with a one-rate account will pay for a kilowatt-hour 5.38 rubles. instead 5.03 rub.

The amount of payment for the maintenance and repair of residential premises will also increase. The size of this fee should be set at the general meeting of tenants apartment building  together with the service house management company. In case the tenants do not solve this issue on their own, the fee is set on the basis of the decision of the Council of Deputies. In accordance with this decision, from July 1, citizens living in houses with all kinds of amenities (except gas appliances) will pay 39.62 rubles / m².  It's on 1.71 rubles.  more than last year. Those who, together with all kinds of improvement, have and gas appliances, will pay 39,82 rubles / m²  (last year - 38,06 ).

We will save?

Tariff growth occurs regularly, so rational use of resources plays an important role in savings.

Tips for reducing energy costs: the choice of the optimal tariff, the use of energy-saving light bulbs and energy-saving home appliances class, "A" and higher. However, given the cost of this technique, the savings are very doubtful.

Excessive costs of some neighbors you will not have to pay.

If a heat meter is installed in the apartment, you can achieve savings by maximally warming the apartment. For example, by glazing the balcony and installing new double-glazed windows, as well as using modern heating radiators with heat regulation.
