The federal tax authorities have started sending reminders to vehicle owners that they must pay road tax before December 1, 2022.
Depending on the region, the amount of the transport tax on the same car differs considerably. For example, the lowest taxes are paid in Ingushetia, and the highest in Moscow, the Moscow region and St. Petersburg.
In Ingushetia for Lada Granta with a 90 hp engine. you need to pay only 450 rubles (5 rubles for 1 hp), and in Moscow the owner will pay 1080 rubles for the same car (12 rubles for 1 hp).
The transport tax is of great importance for the budgets of the regions. Annually, almost 200 billion rubles are collected from motorists. A comparable amount comes annually from the budget and from excise duties on fuel.
Keep in mind that excise duties on fuel would replace the accrued transport tax (according to the principle “the more you drive, the more you pay”), but the transport tax has not been abolished.
Also, owners of “luxury” cars should not forget that this year the threshold of the “luxury tax” (increased rate of the transport tax) was raised from 3 million to 10 million rubles. As a result, many cars are no longer considered luxury and are subject to increased road tax.
But you don’t have to calculate how much you have to pay for a car – you will find the amount of the accrued transport tax on the taxpayer’s personal account or on the receipt, which will appear in your mailbox shortly. Please note, late payment of tax will incur interest for each day of delay.
