As stated in the explanatory note, the draft federal law ... "was developed in order to reduce excess taxation by abolishing the collection of transport tax in the Russian Federation."
“The main injustice of the transport tax is that it is calculated depending on the power of the vehicle's engine, and not on the period of its operation and other characteristics.
As a result, this tax is paid equally by those who drive a car every day and those who use it only occasionally, ”the document says.
In August, it was reported that Andrei Baryshev, a member of the State Duma Committee on Control and Regulation, introduced a bill to the lower house of parliament to abolish the transport tax from 2021.
Earlier, the editor-in-chief of Za Rulem, Maxim Kadakov, assessed in an interview with Nation News the proposal of State Duma deputy Vasily Vlasov to abolish the transport tax on domestic cars.
