I inherited a business from my father, which was, to put it mildly, unprofitable. There was neither the desire nor the opportunity to do it. In order not to lose money, I decided to liquidate the company. It turned out that it is not so simple. There were some nuances there. An acquaintance brought me to Caesar Consulting. I must say we got to work right away. Issues regarding the company were resolved, successfully liquidated, and quite quickly. The lawyer they contacted before them painted a different picture. So I'm happy.
Eclex (Eclecs)
In February 2019, I turned to the Eclex company for the service of registering a lease agreement, the cost was told to me right away (20,000 rubles), for this money I received the entire package of documents that I needed, consultation on all issues, verification of all documents that already existed, lawyers organized the process of submitting documents to authorities and receiving documents. The most important thing is that they prepared a lease agreement for me, taking into account all my wishes and modifications, and not a standard one downloaded from the Internet. I am completely satisfied with the result.
We were looking for a company that would provide high-quality registration services in order to avoid problems in the future. Based on the recommendation, we settled on the one indicated. Already during the consultation it was clear that the guys were professionals. Everything was done promptly, they helped to collect the constituent documents, all stages were completed as quickly as possible thanks to the experience and skills of the specialists. The professionalism of the company's employees is beyond doubt.

MOSCOW, June 30 – RIA Novosti. In Russia, starting July 1, utility tariffs will be indexed. On average, according to the order of the Cabinet of Ministers, the fee will change by four percent. However, in fact, growth in the regions will be different, and it is determined for the most part not so much by economic calculations as by the solvency of the population.
Features of tariff regulation
The annual increase in utility bills is approved by the government in accordance with the forecast of the country's socio-economic development for the coming years. The increase in tariffs is influenced by rising prices for gas and electricity, as well as inflation.
Since 2012, tariffs for utility services (electricity and gas supply, heating, water supply (hot and cold) and wastewater disposal (sewage)) have been increasing since July 1. According to the authorities, this should help curb inflation. That is, in the period from January 1 to June 30 current tariffs are the same as they were at December 31 of the previous year. Starting from the second half of the year, utility prices have been rising. The tariff for housing services also changes once a year, but this can happen either from January 1 or July 1, depending on the decision of the management company or the municipality.
The only exception is Crimea, where so far changes in tariffs for heat, gas, electricity, water and wastewater occur from one to three times a year, and the increase in utility tariffs is limited to 15% one-time.
The payment for a specific utility service consists of the tariff multiplied by the consumption standard or the meter reading. Average or maximum index changes in the amount of fees paid by citizens for all utilities by region are approved by the government. Local tariff authorities may set rates below this threshold, which does not happen often.
The largest increase in average growth indices of utility bills since July is expected in Moscow - by 7%; St. Petersburg, Yakutia and Kamchatka - by 6%. Minimum values average indices were approved in North Ossetia-Alania - 2.5%, in the Altai Territory - 3.2%, in Dagestan and Kabardino-Balkaria - 3.3% each.
Tariffs will increase higher than in most other regions in the Kemerovo region - by 5.9%, in the Tyumen region - by 5.4%, in the Primorsky Territory - by 5%, in the Irkutsk and Sverdlovsk regions also by 5%. The average index in the Moscow region will increase by 4%, in the Leningrad region - by 3.8%.
It is believed that the index is formed taking into account the characteristics of the public utilities sector of the region, and therefore may differ by region. According to Svetlana Razvorotneva, executive director of the NP Housing and Communal Services Control, the index is simply adjusted to the payment capabilities of the population. “All of our tariff regulation has nothing to do with economic calculations and solving problems of improving the quality of services. The logic is simple. From those who can take more, for example, from Muscovites and St. Petersburg, they increase it,” the expert commented.
Monitoring the correctness of accruals
It is not difficult to check the correctness of the charges: the cost of utilities for July 2017 must be divided by the cost of services for December 2016 (provided that consumption volumes remain the same) and multiplied by 100%. In fact, the payment growth rate should not exceed the marginal index.
As reported to RIA Novosti by the Federal Antimonopoly Service, no violations of the procedure for approving limit indexes and the procedure for agreeing on exceeding the index in the region by more than the maximum permissible deviation were identified in the first half of 2017. Information on changing the amount of citizens' fees for utility services will be available only after August 5.
Tariffs for the population are not economically justified. The difference in the cost of heat and electricity is reimbursed from local budgets. In addition, citizens whose expenses for housing and communal services exceed 22% (the maximum allowable costs for paying for housing and communal services) of the total family income can count on receiving subsidies.
If the consumer believes that utility bills have been calculated incorrectly, he can contact his management company or HOA, as well as the local State Housing Inspectorate, which monitors the correct calculation of utility bills and compliance with the requirements for the provision of services in homes. To check the correctness of the charges, the consumer can also contact the prosecutor’s office and the Federal Antimonopoly Service.
Unified housing and communal services system
Since July, all housing and communal enterprises must post information in the state information system Housing and communal services (GIS housing and communal services). The system needs to include information about public utility facilities, tariffs, activities of resource suppliers and management companies. This is a kind of single platform where you can find information about your home, the work of the management company, accrued payments, and debts.
Already now, consumers can, through the GIS Housing and Communal Services, contact government agencies with an application to conduct an inspection regarding management company or resource supply organization. From January 1, 2018, companies will bear administrative responsibility if they do not post the necessary information or the data turns out to be incorrect.
Meanwhile, business has repeatedly criticized the GIS housing and communal services. Thus, the chairman of the board of one of the largest energy companies in the country, Inter RAO, Boris Kovalchuk noted that the system often fails, which makes it impossible to enter information or correct errors in the entered data.
