Abstract

The article substantiates the relevance of the topic, taking into account the global areas of work designated by the President of the Russian Federation. The special role of regional authorities in creating conditions for a favorable investment climate was noted. The analysis of the current state of the Tomsk region’s investment attractiveness is carried out; the potentials and risks of the region are determined. We have identified the “weaknesses” or the risks for attracting investment to the Tomsk region, namely: - infrastructural risk: low density of transport infrastructure, uneven development of communication infrastructure, deterioration of the communal infrastructure; and also the small volume of the intraregional market. The legal support of investment activity is considered in detail, including federal and regional aspects. The characteristic of the “basic” and “special” regional laws, regulating investment activities in the region, is given. The forms and mechanisms of state support for investors in the Tomsk region are presented, including subsidies and tax incentives for investors, the provision of land plots with infrastructure for the placement of investment projects, the functioning of the infrastructure for supporting entrepreneurship, a simplified form of land provision (for rent without tenders), the procedure for assessing the regulatory impact of regulatory legal acts affecting business issues, etc. The directions for the development of federal and regional legislation in order to improve the investment climate are outlined, including decriminalization of certain acts; systematization and consolidation of uniform rules for the introduction, change and collection of non-tax payments from entrepreneurs; “prevention, not punishment”; introduction of long-term tariff setting; simplification of the PPP (public-private partnership) mechanism and concessions for infrastructure projects; formation of legislation for the “digital Economy”; formation of legislation for development in the areas of the National Technology Initiative. At the end of the article, well-founded conclusions are made and proposals are made to increase the investment potential and reduce investment risks.
