More About Transport Tax In Russia

In order to avoid paying a fine for late payment of the transport tax, which must be paid annually, it is necessary to know how the transportation tax is calculated .

Transport tax, one of the types of regional taxes, is charged to the owner for the period of registration of the vehicle - the object of taxation. Even if the car is sold, but re-registered, the receipt for payment will come to the one for whom the vehicle is registered. In this case, the incomplete month is equated to the full one. This does not apply to stolen vehicles, the owner of which has submitted a document on hijacking to the tax authorities on time. The time for payment of the transport tax begins upon receipt of the relevant notification. This does not apply to legal entities - they must file the declaration themselves. Usually such notification comes not later than a month before the date of payment of the transport tax, the terms of which are established by regional legislators. The table of fines of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate of 2012 stipulates penalties for late payment of the transport tax.

To accurately calculate the transport tax, you need to know the age of the car. The years are accrued starting from January 1, the year following the year of issue. The number of horsepower is also taken into account. In this case, the amount of tax is equal to the tax rate multiplied by the number of "horses" (sum = rate x number of hp). If the car was equipped with a more powerful engine, the owner submits an application for making changes at the place of registration of the car.

However, given the changes, an avalanche hit the motorists, you should expect innovations in this area. A bill has already been prepared to raise the tax for old, non-environmentally friendly cars. In the case of entry into force, owners of vehicles older than 15 years will pay three times as much as the rest. It is assumed that this way the fleet of Russia will be updated. Minpromtorg proposed a gradual increase in the tax, taking into account the age and ecological class of the car. For example, cars of a class lower than the "euro-3" will receive 1.5 tax. Class "euro-3" under the changes will not fall. Owners of Euro-4 class cars will be entitled to a lower coefficient (-0.7). The age itself will be measured five years. Less than five years - 1, up to 10 years - 1.75, over 10 - 2, more than 15 - the coefficient will be 3.
