According to The Hollywood Reporter, the regulator has introduced new regulations for accounting for movie theaters, which the government hopes will significantly increase tax collection. According to the approved rules, all distributors are required to update the software with which they are implemented tickets and accounting calculations are made in order to bring it to a single state standard. All cinemas in the country that fail to do so within a certain period are threatened with license revocation.
