From vehicle tax nobody will leave

The bill for the inclusion of the transport tax in the price of fuel has been criticized by the State Duma. The deputies considered the idea proposed by the Liberal Democratic Party unfinished and rejected it in the first reading. The bill, proposed by the deputies of the LDPR faction Igor Lebedev and Maxim Rohmistrovym, did not last longer than one reading. He called for the inclusion of the transport tax in the price of retail gas station. Thus, a motorist brought their contribution to the tax coffers directly during refueling. Accordingly, it would lead to an increase in fuel prices, which officials estimated would amount to 53 kopecks per 1 liter. The State Duma rejected the idea, citing the fact that he does not take into account many administrative matters. MPs noted that the sale of fuel and so is subject to excise taxes - the Liberal Democratic Party have offered to impose the tax already factored another top. In addition, assessors City Council expressed concern about those who buy the fuel is not to ride, but, for example, heating a country house. Why do these people have to pay for patches on the roads? Holders of "green" cars with hybrid, electric and other alternative engines, as well as owners of the trolleys and trams and at all would have been exempt from the tax burden. But they use the road equally with all. Another gap in the rejected draft was that taxes were levied only individuals. It is clear that enterprising motorists have begun to actively open their unincorporated business "cog and Shpuntik and refueled be on concessional terms. But the government does not waive the inclusion of the transport tax in the price of fuel. As reported recently, Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Ivanov, the system will be launched by 2011. He noted that in this matter, our country is based on the experience of other countries. For example, in Germany, motorists pay tax only to the actual travel, rather than air, if the car spends most of his time in the garage. In the U.S., more than 15 years, drivers, paying for fuel, seen on the receipt, which is the sum of money for the fuel went to taxes. Also, Ivanov said that would be imposed tolls on public roads, vehicles weighing more than 12 tons. As is known, and they cause major damage to the city and the countryside in particular routes. The heavier the car, the more damage the road surface. Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin has expressed support for the inclusion of the transport tax in the cost of fueling cars. He noted that the transition to a new system of taxation of motorists will be phased. The owners of powerful cars that do not put them on record because of high taxes, can breathe easy. Finally, they will be able to tie rates to their sports cars and only pay for road use and not for the fact of having such a voracious machine. Apparently, the reason such a dramatic rejection of the bill the Liberal Democratic Party lies in the fact that he ran across the road like documents which were already developed by the Ministry of Transport. The difference between them lies in the fact that the Ministry of Finance has not yet decided on the size of price increases for fuel. In addition, it is assumed that tax revenue from fuel will go not only to the regional budget for repair and construction of roads on which travel taxpayers, but also to the federal. Prior to changes in vehicle tax payment system is still far, but the fuel companies, apparently, has decided to prepare motorists for it. Since March, the price of fuel has increased by 7% and rising. Rising prices for gasoline, respectively entail inflation - increasing costs and other items. It turns out, even those who are far from the car problems, too, will add his three pennies to "maintain the roadway." According to the head of Moscow office of the Federation of Russia Sergey Kanaeva vehicle owners, vehicle tax payment system in our country long and hopelessly outdated. "We have been developing new systems since 2005 - he says. - Liberal Democratic Party proposed a bill very similar to our ideas. Now preparing a draft to change the payment system is engaged in vehicle tax of Economic Development. We have sent an appeal to Ms Nabiullina, which are interested in how much more expensive fuel. According to unconfirmed information, the figure ranges from 5.3 to 15 rubles per 1 liter. According to our calculations, the fuel must rise in price only by 53 kopecks. Electric transport and so pays tax on the consumption of electricity. And if people start to change to hybrid and electric cars, it will only benefit the environment. The main thing is that for those wishing to change seats on a "green" vehicles are not created obstacles. They can generally be exempt from vehicle tax - this will reduce the amount of harmful emissions. In general, we now have very bad environmental conditions, it makes sense to introduce a new tax - Environment. " Text: Olga Zabelkina.
