Order of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 1361-r of September 25, 2002

Approval is given to the Concept of Developing Insurance Business in the Russian Federation. The Concept is aimed at forming an effective system of insurance protection for individual and corporate proprietary interests in the Russian Federation.
One of the basic guidelines for the development of mandatory insurance is the introduction of mandatory insurance for the objects susceptible to significant risks and damages, the citizens and bodies corporate that can be exposed to a significant loss resulting from natural disasters, accidents and calamities. Firs of all, it is the insurance of liability of owners of vehicles, the insurance of production facilities against man-made accidents, property insurance against fires and natural disasters, the large-scale accident harm insurance relating to hazardous cargo carriage.
The priority guidelines for the development of voluntary personal insurance are life insurance and pension insurance.
In the field of taxation additional privileges are in the pipeline:
- the inclusion in the social tax deductible sum of the citizens' insurance expenses relating to their insuring the most vital proprietary interests (relating to life and health, to possessing, enjoying and disposing of residential premises and household items);
- the extension of the list of organisations' expenses relating to the various types of liability insurance included in the costs accepted as deductible in the corporate profit tax calculations.
