activities, which implementation

and reporting is a positive step for the development of small businesses. They
detail the procedure governing the transition to a simplified tax system and
the refusal of the simplified tax system, establish procedures for determining
income, the application rates of the single tax, regulate the procedure for
obtaining the certificate of single tax payer, the order of the single tax
