Aim
The support measures foreseen in the present order are aimed mainly at increasing of the employment of Narva residents.
The new measures are aimed just to facilitate the emergence of a large number of jobs in a relatively short time, while the scope of activities of the enterprises can be both traditional and new for the city of Narva.
The order of support for entrepreneurs creating new jobs approved by the Resolution of the Narva City Council no. 9 from 11.03.2010.
Who is supported:
Foreign entrepreneurs– the branches of foreign enterprises, registered in the Commercial Register of Estonia; the companies, entered into the Commercial Register of Estonia, in which more than 50% is held by individuals or juridical persons, who are not the subjects of law in Estonia.
Entrepreneurs from the other towns of Estonia– the non-foreign entrepreneurs, who are the subjects of law in Estonia and whose location site and enterprises are not situated in the administrative territory of the city of Narva.
Local entrepreneurs – the entrepreneurs, whose location site or the enterprises, through which they perform their activity, are situated in the administrative territory of the city of Narva, and who are not the foreign entrepreneurs or the entrepreneurs from the other towns of Estonia.
General principles of support (1/2)1. All supporting measures, foreseen by the present order, are provided only in case of creating new jobs for the registered residents of Narva. The persons hired within the scope of the measures must remain the residents of Narva, according to the register of population, for at least the entire period of support.2. The jobs created by an entrepreneur through the acquisition or takeover of another business or part of it are not considered as new jobs. 3. In assessing of the newly created jobs all the enterprises associated with the entrepreneur are considered as a whole.4. All the measures come into effect only when at least 10 new jobs are created for the registered residents of Narva. The exception is for rent-free providing of the industrial premises and equipment for the start-up entrepreneurs.5. The economic principle of providing the support is based on the rule that the support provided for each individual company should depend on the additional income, which the local self-government receives as a result of creating new jobs, and should not exceed the size of this income.
General principles of support (2/2)
6. In those cases, where a long-term impact is observed and where a multiplication effect is strong, the amount of support is maximal. And vice versa – it is less in those cases, where the jobs are created, but the effect is short-term or the multiplication effect is negligible.7. Those supporting measures, which foresee the direct monetary expenditures from the budget (cash benefits, mediator payment, compensation for utility costs), are performed only after the city budget receives the income tax for the accounting period from this enterprise, in minimal amount not less than the value of the monetary support. The actual amount of support is determined on the basis of the actual amount of the income tax payment into the city budget, in proportion to the rates set out by the measures and in accordance with a plan that a businessman has provided before the accounting period.8. The main control method for the performance of the measures and the practical tool for determining the amount of support is the analysis of the Tax Department data on the change in the listed number of workers registered in Narva and the value of the income tax generated by them in the period preceding the application for the support and within the duration of the measures.
