Gasoline taxes in the appendage

The State Duma is considering the inclusion of the transport tax in the price of fuel. Motorists are concerned that because of that gasoline prices will rise even faster. The State Duma is considering amendments to the Tax Code, under which the vehicle tax will be included in the price of fuel. Have put forward this idea think it's fair to those who have little rides, and to those who breaks the road. This is great news for those who travel by car only on weekends or only during warm weather. And just for motorcyclists, "season" which lasts a maximum of six months. Particularly pleased to be secured for people who have long languished in the garage of the powerful "machines of the day off." Now Russian motorists pay the vehicle tax based on engine power, and in every region of the individual bids. The last rate increase occurred at the beginning of this year. Prior to that, recent changes in transport tax had been in 2003. In Moscow, for each horsepower car with an engine capacity of more than 125 liters. with. began to charge at 1,5 times more money. For motors rated at more than 70 liters. with. and less than 100 liters. with. levy 7 rubles for each horse, from 100 to 125 hp. with. - 20 rubles, from 125 to 150 hp. with. - 30 rubles, from 150 to 175 liters. with. - From 38 rubles, from 175 to 200 hp. with. - 45 rubles, from 200 to 225 liters. with. - 60 rubles, from 225 to 250 hp. with. - 75 rubles, and finally, owners of cars with engine capacity exceeding 250 liters. with. shell out for 150 rubles per 1 liter. with .. This is not the first initiative from the government to link the cost of fuel and transport taxes. Such ideas were put forward before, for example, the party leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky. And finally passed from words to concrete solutions. True, it is unclear exactly how the final version will look the relevant paragraph in the Tax Code. After all, knowing how in our country start "for health", and what it usually ends, there is reason for concern. Perhaps another reason for such an idea is a backward system of collecting vehicle tax. Many car owners do not come in time notification of its payment, or coming, but very late and assessed a penny. You can, of course, independently come to the tax authority and try to palm off as an honest man of his money. But it is hampered by two factors: long queues at these institutions, and a visual signal of the tax, they say, wait for notification by mail. According to some experts, the value of taxed fuel will increase by 50-60 cents. But a member of the Committee on Budget and Taxes Sergey Chizhov besieged so optimistic. In turn, officials are freed from hard thinking about changes in tax rates on transportation. Indeed, almost every car tax increase or an attempt is accompanied by noisy protests. And in the case of innovation, motorists in their rallies will not tarnish the honor of the State Duma, and the fuel companies. A year ago in Russia is considering the possibility of replacing vehicle tax on the excise tax to be charged with the vendors of fuel in the region. As planned by officials in Volgograd, the companies that sell fuel, had to pay a new tax to the local budget. But the oil industry and so pay the excise tax from the sale of fuel. Moreover, if a company is registered in Moscow, and hers refinery located in Volgograd, the tax would be divided in unequal shares between the two regional budgets. On the proposed scheme as Volgograd deputies tax goes to the budget of the region, where fuel is sold and can be spent, for example, the maintenance of the road network. The Government rejected this project as a complicating tax administration. It is not clear how the benefits will be considered for veterans and the disabled. Than they would have to start some "social fuel card, which will always carry with me. Not to mention the countless lines for paperwork to obtain these cherished privileges. Just do not forget about those who buy the fuel is not the purpose of filling the car, and, for example, for heating the house or garage. But now, apparently, rising gasoline prices will monitor closely. The last time gasoline prices were down in 2007 after the government on the initiative of former Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov, chided fuel companies. Then was seen decline in fuel by as much as 2.1 rubles! But since then, prices have not only gradually returned to previous levels, but significantly exceeded it.
