Improvement of preferential treatment of entrepreneurial activity as an instrument of territorial development

The article considers the legal regulation of preferential regimes in the Arctic zone and the Far Eastern Federal District. In the work, the author sets out the doctrinal concept of preferential treatment. A legal analysis of the regulatory framework for preferential regimes in the Far East and the Arctic zone was carried out. A gap in legislation has been identified: in order to launch a single preferential treatment for business throughout the Far East and the Arctic, all municipalities of the Arctic zone should be equalized by privileges in order to obtain a certain benefit for economic entities of the country. It was concluded that by introducing economic instruments (preferential treatment) in certain territories of the country, internal and external investors can be attracted for the development of the country’s economy and, therefore, it is necessary to adopt a comprehensive federal law for the legal regulation of public relations.
