To support the regions, a cost recovery mechanism has been introduced for the development of the infrastructure of the zones. As part of it, expenses were compensated for St. Petersburg, as well as Moscow, Moscow, Lipetsk, and Ivanovo regions. At the same time, the expenses of the budget of the Russian Federation are covered by tax deductions paid by enterprises operating in these zones. Compensation for the Saint Petersburg SEZ in 2024 alone amounted to 2.1 billion rubles, while resident enterprises replenished the federal treasury with more than 8 billion in taxes paid.
