They went into effect this week. On October 29, updated rules for paying scrap duty came into force in Russia, the rates of which for imported cars increased from August 1. Russians who import cars for resale also risk paying this fee in the amount of more than 800 thousand rubles. From August 1, the recycling rate for a car with an engine capacity of 2 to 3 liters increased to 844 thousand rubles, for a vehicle with an engine capacity of 3 to 3.5 liters - to 970 thousand rubles, and for a vehicle with an engine capacity of more than 3.5 liters, 5 liters – up to 1.25 million rubles. If a car is imported into the territory of a Customs Union country by an individual, then for cars with an engine capacity of up to 3 liters and electric vehicles there is a preferential rate of only 3,400 rubles. Not everyone can receive such a benefit. If it turns out that a car purchased by a private individual abroad and registered in his name in Russia was resold by him within 12 months from the date of initial registration, this will be considered a commercial activity. Now, when buying a car, you can lose 844 thousand rubles. Details about the new rules car In this case, you will have to pay the difference in the recycling fee for individuals or legal entities: For a car with an engine capacity of up to 1 liter, the difference will be 77,800 rubles; For a car with an engine capacity of 1-2 liters - 302,600 rubles; For a car with an engine capacity of 2-3 liters - 841,400 rubles; For an electric car - 356,600 rubles. There is another trap: the same surcharge is due to the fact that within 12 months from the date of registration of the first car, he imported into the country and registered another car. According to the law, it is considered that a car is imported not for personal, but for commercial purposes. Failure to pay the fee is grounds for cancellation of the electronic PTS, that is, operation of the vehicle will become impossible.
