Deputies from the faction Fair Russia – Patriots – For Truth have submitted to the government a bill aimed at abolishing the transport tax for participants in a special military operation, commonly referred to as SVO. This information comes from a document cited by TASS. The proposal is part of a broader legislative effort to adjust tax obligations for individuals who have served in the operation and to provide financial relief in line with their service commitments.
Under the draft, individuals taking part in the operation would be exempt from the transport tax on vehicles with engine power up to 150 horsepower. The relief would also apply to watercraft such as motorboats with engine power up to 20 horsepower and to motorcycles and scooters with engine power up to 35 horsepower. The intention is to reduce the tax burden on equipment typically used by participants in their daily lives and for work purposes, recognizing the potential financial strain associated with owning and maintaining such vehicles.
In addition, the document proposes that SVO participants who have three or more dependent minor children would be fully exempt from transport taxes on cars and buses. This provision reflects a focus on families, aiming to support those who carry additional dependents while they serve and after their service ends. The proposal to expand exemptions for larger families signals an emphasis on social protection alongside defense-related policy, as reported by news agencies such as TASS.
Separately, former State Duma Deputy Yaroslav Nilov spoke with a correspondent from a news outlet about the idea of introducing a blacklist in Russia for courier workers who violate traffic rules or display rude conduct on the job. Nilov suggested that such a list could help improve behavior and accountability in the courier sector. This statement illustrates how lawmakers sometimes connect traffic policy with broader issues of road safety and professional conduct, as reported in the media.
