АSTS: an opportunity to reduce the administrative and tax burden for microbusiness

Your expert, Events Of The International Women's Union
In recent years, Russian businesses have been operating under constantly changing legislation, rising mandatory payments, and increasing administrative burden. For many small companies and individual entrepreneurs, the choice of a tax system has become not just a matter of convenience, but one of the key factors of financial sustainability. One tool that deserves special attention is the Automated Simplified Taxation System (АSTS). What is АSTS? The Automated Simplified Taxation System is a special tax regime introduced as an experiment by Federal Law No. 17‑FZ of February 25, 2022.

Diplomacy within the family: the art of negotiation with the main opponent, a teenager

Diplomacy within the family: the art of negotiation with the main opponent, a teenager

, Events Of The International Women's Union
In our professional work, we often use the concepts of "crisis intervention", "search for consensus" and "de-escalation of conflict". At the negotiating tables, in "hot" moments, these skills really help to find a mutual solution. But returning home, many of us successful and powerful women suddenly discover that the most difficult negotiator is our own child, who sometimes throws ultimatums on the table or silently slams the door of the room.
