Alexander Shulakov

Alexander Shulakov is a co-founder of ASPvending, a company that develops vending stations in tourist infrastructure and transportation hubs in Russia. He has raised concerns about the inequitable nature of the trade tax imposed on vending machines compared to traditional retail stores, arguing that the tax structure disproportionately affects the vending industry. Shulakov emphasizes the need for a fairer taxation system that recognizes the unique challenges faced by vending operators, especially in light of rising operational costs and limited product offerings.
