Reducing the tax burden will lead to a sharp improvement in business profitability in the country. As the experience of 2016 (reduction in ERUs) shows, part of the profit will be redistributed to increase the income of employees and increase their salaries. Another source of growth in nominal salaries is a reduction in taxation of employees' salaries; in the first year of the launch of the reform, it will lead to an additional 15% increase in their income. Under the conditions of taxation of citizens' incomes at a rate of 4%, there will be a sharp transition of most salaries to the legal plane. Salary payments in the form of a cache will remain in the “illegal” part of the economy for internal payments, but its level will decrease in proportion to the reduction in the shadow economy.

 Generating profits, the economy will enter the investment phase of growth. As the statistics of 2004-2016 show, the profit of enterprises is the main investment resource. During this period, 55-75% of capital investments came from profit. At the same time, investments will be directed not only into fixed assets and intangible assets, but also into human capital. According to estimates by Ameline Group, the investment nature of economic development can generate a demand for labor of 500,000 jobs per year. This will increase competition in the labor market and, consequently, increase the average wage in the country.

The capital investments, taking into account the inflow of foreign investments, may return to the level of 2007 - 30% of GDP.
