Fixed assets are considered to be a part of the property used as means of labor in the production of products or services or for the management of the organization for a period exceeding 12 months. The problem of investing in fixed assets is manifested in the development of investment activities, in the lack and high cost of the necessary sources of investment, in the need for the implementation of economic projects and programs, in the choice and making of effective investment decisions aimed at the reproduction of fixed assets in agriculture in Russia. The increase in the cost of fixed assets will be followed by an increase in payments in the form of the property tax to the budget. The increase in profits will also entail an increase in the amounts charged to businesses as taxes. In this case, there is a direct interest of the state. Thus, the expansion of the opportunities for an investment tax credit for the renewal of fixed assets will allow not only to increase payments to the budget but also to form its own source of investment activity at the enterprise in the form of a depreciation reserve.
