The recent introduction of a recycling fee raises many questions and misunderstandings. Car owners are interested in substantive answers: is the fee obligatory for everyone or can someone avoid it, when does it have to be paid and is it possible to calculate the amount to be paid without outside help?

This article will help you understand everything important points related to the calculations and procedure for paying the recycling fee for a vehicle.

What is a vehicle recycling fee?

Law No. 89-FZ of June 24, 1998 “On production and consumption waste” provides for the mandatory contribution by citizens to the treasury of money representing recycling collection– this is an amount paid one-time to the state by almost all vehicle owners. This obligation was introduced in 2012 on the basis of Article 24-1 paragraph 1 of the above-mentioned law.

The recycling fee is a mandatory payment that is imposed on the buyer of a car in order to protect and protect the environment from the harmful effects of transport during its operation, and therefore indirectly protect the health and lives of citizens. Simply put, the money a car owner will pay when purchasing a vehicle today, later due date will be used for the safe disposal of the used car, subject to all established standards and technical conditions.

Who must pay the recycling fee?

In accordance with the same law, there are only two situations requiring you to pay for the disposal of a car:

• If the vehicle was brought into the country from abroad;
• If the previous owner of the vehicle did not pay the transport tax (evaded payment or was released for some reason), then this responsibility falls on the shoulders of the new owner of the car.

All of the above allows us to draw another important conclusion: the vehicle recycling fee is not paid by every subsequent owner, but only by the one who is the first on the territory Russian Federation fully sat behind the wheel. The fee is charged for specific car one and only time during the period of his life on the territory of the Russian Federation. And one more thing, if we are talking about cars domestic auto industry, then the recycling fee is paid by the manufacturer itself.

Who is exempt from paying the recycling fee?

There are cases provided for by legislative acts in accordance with which the owner is exempt from paying the fee:

• When the car is 30 years old or more. Venerable age must be supplemented by two more circumstances: (the car must not be used for commercial purposes; the frame, body and engine must be “original”).
• If the vehicle belongs to a consulate, a diplomatic mission on the territory of the Russian Federation, any international organizations, employees or members of their families.
• If a car owner, within the framework of the relevant program for the “voluntary resettlement of compatriots from abroad,” imports a car into the country as his personal property.

But the following legal aspect is very important here: if in the last two options the car is sold, then the buyer who purchased it will pay the fee for its disposal legally, since the car will immediately lose all privileges.

How to calculate the amount of the recycling fee?

It is not difficult to find out the amount you will need to contribute to the state on your own, and to do this you need to use the following formula - amount of recycling fee = base rate multiplied by the correction factor A:

The value of the “K” coefficient can be found in the “List of recycling fee amounts”, which is approved by the Government of the Russian Federation (No. 1291 of December 26, 2013). It depends on several factors:

• vehicle age;
• vehicle mass;
• vehicle dimensions;
• engine capacity.

The amount of the base rate “BS” is determined by the type and purpose of the vehicle:

• passenger cars – 20,000 rubles (without use for commercial purposes);
• trucks and buses - 150,000 rubles (also commercial passenger cars).

An example of calculating the amount of the recycling fee: you have a passenger car, the manufacturer is the Russian Federation, its age is a little more than 3 years, its weight is up to 2.5 tons. In this case, the correction factor will be equal to 0.88. The amount of the recycling fee will be 20,000 rubles 88 kopecks.

Where is the mark for payment of the recycling fee placed?

Evidence of payment of the fee must be recorded - it is necessary that there is a corresponding mark in the PTS; we strongly recommend that you pay attention to this when completing a car purchase/sale transaction. For this purpose, there is a special section in the vehicle passport for special marks.

The mark may not be marked for several reasons:

• The owner of the vehicle received the vehicle's passport earlier than September 1, 2012.
• a foreign-made car was imported into the Russian Federation before September 1, 2012.
• a foreign-made car was imported into the Russian Federation after September 1, 2012, but the owner did not pay the recycling fee.

Keep in mind that in cases where a recycling fee is not charged, a corresponding mark is placed in the vehicle passport indicating the reasons for exemption from payment; you cannot take the seller’s word for it without such a mark!

If the passport is domestic car dated from September 1, 2012 to December 31, 2013, then the passport may contain a mark confirming that the manufacturer has assumed disposal obligations. The main thing here is to make sure that the manufacturer is included in the register of organizations that have accepted obligations to dispose of their own products. This information is publicly available on the website of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation. If there is still information about an exception, then pay attention to the date of this event.

When the passport does not contain any of the specified marks, but there are no grounds for exemption from paying the recycling fee for a specific car, it means that the previous owner avoided payment in an illegal way. In this case, if the deal has not yet been concluded, you should refuse it, or try to reduce the price by the amount of the fee, because in the future all obligations, including payment of the recycling fee, will fall on the shoulders of the new owner, i.e. You.

Penalties for failure to pay the recycling fee

The main problem is that until the fee is paid, the vehicle cannot be registered. Even if you have a vehicle passport in hand, it will not be considered registered.
Transit numbers are valid for only twenty days, in the future this is a fine in the amount of five hundred to eight hundred rubles initially, and punishment, up to deprivation driver's license for 3 months, with recheck and identifying the fact of non-payment. These fines are regulated by Article 12.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation and traffic police inspectors will be very happy to discover that you do not have a mark on payment of the recycling fee.

Refund if recycling fee is paid incorrectly

Anything can happen in the work of officials, including cases of erroneous demands for payment of certain fees. For example, the car manufacturer has already paid the fee or the previous owner of the car has fulfilled the obligations, or this or that executive obliged you to pay again to receive certain documents. The collection amount is quite large (for powerful and expensive foreign cars The recycling fee can reach up to 600 thousand rubles), so to get a refund you need to contact the organization that mistakenly charged you the recycling fee:

• For domestic cars– tax service;
• for imported cars - the customs authority.

The owner of the vehicle will need to fill out an application of the established form; as a rule, the form will be provided by the employees of the specified authority themselves.

In addition, you will need:

• a copy of the car owner's passport;
• original and copy of the vehicle passport;
• document confirming payment of the fee;
• a document indicating that a repeated erroneous payment was made.

The decision on whether the funds will be returned is made within a month. Refusal with a reason is also possible.

It is important not to waste time, because claims and applications are accepted only within three years from the date of payment.

There is no need to count on indexation or refund of commission fees, and if a positive decision is made, the amount will be transferred to the applicant’s bank account.

When deciding whether to buy a car domestic spaces, and outside the home country, it is necessary to take into account all the costs associated with such an acquisition.

One of the cost items is the mandatory payment of a recycling fee for imported vehicles or for vehicles for which the seller has not previously paid this fee.

What kind of payment this is and what payment procedure is established for it, you will find out by reading the materials in this article.

Payment type

A recycling fee is imposed on all cars on the territory of the Russian Federation from 01.09.2012. This fee is aimed at ensuring the environmental friendliness of subsequent disposal. Vehicle(TS).

The recycling fee is a mandatory payment and is charged once for each vehicle.

Any car owner needs to know that without the appropriate mark on the payment of the recycling fee in the passport () of the purchased car, it is impossible to register it with the traffic police.

Payers

Most car owners who purchased their car from scratch in Russia do not have to deal with the issue of paying a recycling fee, since for new cars this type The payment has already been made by the importer importing the vehicle or by the automaker.

If you belong to the category of drivers who prefer cars without mileage, when purchasing, you just need to make sure that the appropriate note about making a payment for disposal is entered in the vehicle title.

Those who make a purchase on the secondary car market, in addition to thoroughly checking the vehicle itself, should also carefully consider the accompanying documentation for the car of interest.

Pay attention to the date of issue of the passport of the purchased vehicle. If the PTS was issued before the Federal Law came into force, that is, until September 1, 2012, payment of the recycling fee will not be required.

The following categories of persons are legally defined who are not required to make a recycling fee for their private cars:

• migrants(compatriots living abroad, as well as refugees) importing their vehicles into Russia;
• diplomats(including family members) who have appropriate immunity;
• vintage car owners(over 30 years old) that have preserved or restored the original equipment of the car.

However, if a car is purchased from a person belonging to one of the above groups, as well as in the case of unlawful evasion by the seller from making the appropriate payment, the subsequent owner will have to fulfill the obligation to pay the disposal fee.

Therefore, when starting to complete a purchase and sale transaction, carefully study the accompanying documentation for the vehicle being purchased, namely, pay attention to the special notes column in the title and inquire about the reasons for non-payment of the recycling fee.

Having discovered the problem in a timely manner, you can either refuse to complete the transaction or receive a discount in the amount of the upcoming costs of paying the disposal fee.

You will learn how not to make a mistake when choosing a used car and what to pay attention to when making a purchase by reading the following.

It should be noted that as of 01.01.2014 (No. 278-FZ), benefits for transport imported from the countries of the Customs Union, as well as for motor vehicles related to international transport, which previously fell under the procedure of a free customs zone in the Kaliningrad region, were canceled.

Future car owners should know in what cases they will have to pay the recycling fee themselves:

1. importation of a car purchased abroad;
2. purchasing a car from beneficiaries, exempt from paying the recycling fee;
3. acquisition from offenders who failed to comply with the requirement to pay the recycling fee in a timely manner.

In the first case, the payment is collected by the Federal Customs Service, and in the next two cases by the Federal Tax Service.

Payment calculation

If a car is required to pay a recycling fee, the payer should remember that the responsibility for calculating the fee and timely payment falls entirely on his shoulders.

The procedure for calculating and collecting recycling fees is established by the Government of the Russian Federation.

The video presents the amounts of recycling fees established in Russia for transport.

The amount of payment is determined based on the base rate and the characteristics of each individual vehicle (date of manufacture, weight, engine size, chassis).

The calculation comes down to calculating the product of the base rate (B) and the coefficient (K), depending on the parameters of a particular vehicle.

The rates and coefficients for calculating the recycling fee for all types of vehicles are presented in table form:

Calculator for individuals

Base rate (B) for passenger cars today amounts to 20,000 rubles.

The coefficient (K) for foreign cars imported for personal use, regardless of engine characteristics, is:

• for new cars – 0,1 ;
• for vehicles older than three years – 0,15 .

If documents that could confirm the year of manufacture of the car are lost, then the year of manufacture is determined by the VIN number of the car. The cut-off age of three years is counted from July 1 of the year of manufacture of the vehicle.

Based on the established multipliers, the recycling fee is:

• for a new car - 2000 rubles;
• for transport aged three years and older – 3000 rubles.

The payer calculates the payment amount himself and deposits the amount according to the established BCC (budget classification code) into the account Federal Treasury(FC).

Payment

It should be borne in mind that the procedure for paying the disposal fee in the event that a car is imported from abroad and in the case of purchasing a car for which the corresponding payment has not previously been made is different.

Import of foreign cars

If a car is imported from abroad by an individual, the recycling fee is collected by the Federal Customs Service (FCS).

Registration and payment must fit within the allotted time frame.

To undergo the procedure for complete customs clearance of the imported transport, the payer must appear at the customs authority at the place of residence with the following documents:

• PTS for the car being registered;
• copies of documents certifying the vehicle’s compliance with the data included in the recycling collection calculation
• car purchase agreement;
• copies of payment slips
• copy of power of attorney

After checking the accuracy of the calculation of the amount of disposal fee, as well as the receipt Money to the FC account, a note about payment is placed in the appropriate section of the PTS.

You can find out information about the payment procedure, as well as find out the BCC and bank details on the official website of the Federal Customs Service.

Purchasing a car without recycling fee

Collection from car manufacturers, as well as from individuals, who purchased a vehicle without previously paid salvage tax is carried out by the Federal Tax Service (FTS).

On the Federal Tax Service website there is a section “Recycling fee”, where you can find out the BCC, fill out the calculation of the recycling fee using the appropriate form, and also make an appointment with the tax authority in your region.

After 3 working days from the date of transfer of the disposal fee amount to the FC account, you must appear at the tax authority to confirm the accuracy of the transfer.

The payer must have a number of documents with him:

• completed recycling fee calculation form;
• PTS for the car being registered;
• copies of documents certifying the vehicle’s compliance with the data included in the recycling collection calculation(vehicle chassis type approval, certificate of conformity, safety certificate, technical examination report, shipping documentation);
• contract of sale(for individuals who purchased a vehicle);
• copies of payment slips, confirming the fact of depositing funds under the corresponding BCC.
• copy of power of attorney, if the payer acts through a proxy.

When preparing documents for a self-assembled car, you should submit to the tax authorities copies of the vehicle registration certificate on the basis of which the new vehicle was created. In this situation, the payment amount is calculated as the difference between the amount to be paid and the previously paid amounts of the disposal fee.

After checking the accuracy of the calculation made, as well as the receipt of funds into the FC account, a note about payment is placed in the appropriate section of the PTS.

If you have paid an incorrectly calculated disposal fee, you will either have to pay the missing amount or fill out an application for the return of excess funds.

conclusions

1. When purchasing another car, make sure to pay the recycling fee., checking the presence of a mark in the corresponding section of the PTS.
2. Please note the date issuance of PTS , if the document is dated earlier than 09/01/2012 everything is in order - payment of a recycling fee is not required.
3. Failure to pay the recycling fee entails the traffic police’s refusal to register the vehicle.. In turn, according to Art. 12.1. Administrative Code of the Russian Federation, driving a vehicle that has not passed state registration is punishable by a fine of 500-800 rubles, and for the next violation the car owner will be fined 5000 rubles or deprive driver's license for a period of up to three months.

If you still have questions related to paying the recycling fee or have any controversial situations with representatives of the law, contact our legal experts for clarification.

Protection of the environment, as well as life and health of people from the harmful effects of vehicle operation - important aspects provision environmental safety.

To accomplish this task, current legislation obliges buyers or manufacturers of wheeled vehicles imported or manufactured in the Russian Federation to pay a recycling fee. The funds received as a collection are subsequently spent on recycling cars in accordance with environmental standards.

On April 1, 2018, the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation “On amendments to the list of types and categories of wheeled vehicles (chassis) and their trailers for which a recycling fee is paid, as well as the amount of the recycling fee” comes into force.

Mainly, the changes will affect the following aspects:

• increasing the coefficients for calculating the recycling fee;
• revision of the list of vehicles in respect of which a recycling fee is collected;
• indexation of calculation coefficients;
• entering calculation coefficients for vehicles produced in 2017;
• exclusion of the “Trailers” section (a section concerning trailers released into circulation in the Russian Federation of category O4 has been added).

How will recycling fee rates in Russia change from April 1, 2018?

According to the above Resolution, the recycling fee for passenger cars and freight transport will be promoted. Indexation of rates is related to the current state of the market in the field of issues related to environmental protection and recycling of vehicles, in particular.

The tax on new cars with an engine capacity of up to one liter will increase by 16.2%, up to two liters - by 90%, and up to three liters - by 49.3%. For cars with an engine capacity of more than three liters, the rate will not increase. For electric vehicles, the fee will increase by 14.8%.

Rates are set separately for new cars built on a 2017 chassis. For them, the old coefficients continue to apply until the end of 2018

Truck tractors are included in a separate section. For example, for tractors older than three years with gross weight 12-20 tons, the coefficient will be twice as high as for other trucks of the same age and carrying capacity).

Of course, changes in recycling fee rates raise concerns related to rising prices for cars and commercial vehicles foreign production. However, many foreign car manufacturers claim that they do not plan to increase prices for their models until the end of 2018. This information was confirmed by representatives of Hyundai, Nissan, Ford and many others.

The information is provided in accordance with the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation “On amendments to the list of types and categories of wheeled vehicles (chassis) and trailers for them, in respect of which a recycling fee is paid, as well as the size of the recycling fee.”

The amount of the recycling fee payable in relation to wheeled vehicles (chassis) and trailers for them, for which a new vehicle passport is issued or a new electronic passport is issued, which are manufactured (completed) on the basis of wheeled vehicles (chassis) or trailers for them, in respect of which a recycling fee was previously paid, is determined as the difference between the amount of the recycling fee payable in relation to such wheeled vehicles and their trailers, and the amount of the recycling fee previously paid in relation to wheeled vehicles (chassis) or their trailers, on the basis of which the completion was carried out.

Categories of wheeled vehicles (chassis) and trailers for them correspond to the classification established technical regulations Customs Union "On the safety of wheeled vehicles."

The size of the recycling fee for the category (type) of a wheeled vehicle (chassis) or its trailer is equal to the product of the base rate and the coefficient provided for a specific position.

In the absence of documentary evidence of the date of manufacture, which is the date of manufacture of the wheeled vehicle (chassis) or trailer for it, the year of manufacture is determined by the manufacture code specified in identification number a wheeled vehicle (chassis) or a trailer for it, with the 3-year period calculated starting from July 1 of the year of manufacture. The date of payment of the recycling fee is understood as the date indicated in the payment document confirming payment of the recycling fee.

The base rate for calculating the amount of the recycling fee is 20,000 rubles.

The base rate for calculating the amount of the recycling fee is 150,000 rubles.

The amount of the recycling fee payable in relation to wheeled vehicles (chassis) and trailers for them imported into the customs territory of the Russian Federation and placed under the customs regime of temporary import in accordance with Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated March 11, 2003 N 147 "On additional measures of state support for Russian road transport, intended for international transport", calculated using a coefficient of 0.25."

The coefficients for calculating the amount of the recycling fee for vehicles manufactured on the basis of vehicle chassis produced in 2017 are applied until December 31, 2018 inclusive.

The recycling fee for vehicles was introduced in Russia not so long ago.

For this reason, drivers have a lot of questions - what is a recycling fee, when does it need to be paid, who is exempt from paying, and whether or not they can independently calculate the amount of the fee.

The answers to all these questions can be found in this article.

Citizens of the Russian Federation are required to pay the recycling fee immediately when purchasing a car.. The rule is established by the law on consumer and industrial waste, Article No. 89-FZ, introduced in 2012.

According to the law, the recycling fee is a one-time payment directed to the state.

It is collected from buyers of vehicles and is used to ensure the environmental safety of the environment, as well as the protection of human health and life from the adverse effects of transport operation.

In other words, the funds received as a disposal fee during the purchase of a car will then be used for its disposal, which will fully comply with all established environmental standards.

Who is responsible for paying the recycling fee?

When answering the question of who pays the recycling fee and in what situations, the following information can be given. According to modern legislation, citizens of the Russian Federation are required to pay a recycling fee in two main cases:

1. In the process of buying a car from abroad. This could be the purchase of a vehicle in Japan and its subsequent independent delivery to the territory of the Russian Federation.
2. Purchasing a vehicle from persons previously exempt by law from paying a recycling fee or those who have not paid it in the manner prescribed by law.

The recycling fee is charged once for the entire life of the vehicle. The manufacturer pays for it if it is Russian auto industry or one of the owners.

There are several situations in which you will not need to pay a recycling fee. The following statutory circumstances may be noted here:

In the process of purchasing a vehicle from individuals indicated in the last two points, a recycling fee will be automatically charged to the buyer.

The amount of the fee can be calculated using the following formula - ∑US = BS × K.

These designations can be deciphered as follows:

1. ∑US – total collection amount.
2. BS – basic base rate.
3. K – coefficient for calculating the amount based on the List of recycling fee amounts. The list was approved by special Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 1291 dated December 26, 2013.

The standard base rate can be determined in direct relation to the category of vehicle purchased.

This includes passenger vehicles for special non-commercial purposes, the fee for which is 20 thousand rubles, as well as commercial cars and trucks and buses. In this case, the disposal fee will be 150 thousand rubles.

The calculation of the recycling fee directly depends on the year of manufacture of the vehicle. It also matters Common parameters– weight, size and displacement of the engine.

The calculation coefficient for Russian passenger vehicles older than 3 years and weighing less than 2.5 tons will be equal to 0.88. Based on this, we can conclude that the amount of the fee will be equal to 20,088 rubles.

A note regarding payment of the recycling fee is recorded in the section with “special notes” of the vehicle passport.

The absence of such a mark is possible only in two main cases:

1. OPTS for a car Russian production was issued earlier than 09/01/2012 or for a foreign car imported into Russia before the designated date. In these cases, there is no need to worry, since the obligation to pay the fee does not apply to such vehicles.
2. Purchasing a foreign-made vehicle abroad and then independently importing it into Russia. In this case, the obligation to pay the fee rests with the buyer, as the person who imports the car into the Russian Federation.

A special mark must be placed in the passport of a vehicle for which a recycling fee is charged. It outlines the grounds for complete exemption from paying the recycling fee.

This is the answer to the question of what it means to mark the recycling fee on the PTS.

If PTS is on Russian car was issued to the driver in the period from 09/01/2012 to December 31, 2013 inclusive, the document, instead of a mark confirming payment of the recycling fee, may contain information regarding the acceptance of obligations for the recycling fee.

In this case, you will need to make sure that at the time the document was issued, the manufacturer was not excluded from the official register of companies that assumed obligations to dispose of products.

This information can be obtained on the official website of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation. Here Special attention you need to pay attention to the section “date of exclusion from the register”.

If the PTS does not contain a note regarding payment of the recycling fee without legal grounds, it can only indicate that the previous owner for some reason avoided this procedure.

In this case, the obligation to pay automatically falls on the buyer. If you discover that the fee has not been paid, it is better to refuse the transaction or try to reduce the cost of the car being sold.

Fines for non-payment of fees

It is impossible to register a car without pre-paying the recycling fee.. Even if you have an official passport, the car will be considered not to have gone through the registration process in the manner prescribed by law.

Move to similar car allowed only for 20 days. That's how much according to the rules Road traffic Russia has transit numbers.

After this period, driving a car that has not been registered, in accordance with Article 12.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, the driver will be subject to a fine of 500 to 800 rubles, depending on the year from which payment was not made.

If, after a fine has been imposed, the driver violates this right again, he may be deprived of his driver's license for up to 90 days.

There are certain situations in which the recycling fee may be refunded. This primarily concerns erroneous payment of the fee.

For example, a person pays a fee after it was previously paid by the manufacturing company or the previous owner of the car. If such a factor is detected, you will need to contact the organization that accepted the collection.

There can be two main options:

1. Customs organizations - for vehicles brought from other countries.
2. Tax office - for Russian cars.

In order to receive the erroneously paid funds back, you will need to fill out a special application regarding the return of the recycling fee for wheeled vehicles and chassis. The form is provided by customs officers themselves, as well as tax inspectors.

In addition to a well-written application, you will need to provide copies of the following documents:

• passports of vehicle owners. Here you will need to submit copies of the main pages;
• PTS – original and copy;
• receipt for payment of the recycling fee - cash receipt order or official payment order;
• A document must be provided that confirms that the collection of the fee was erroneous.

The decision regarding the return of the fee or the official refusal of its full refund is made on average within 30 days. A full refund can be made within three years from the date of payment.

It should be remembered that the amount of deposited funds is not indexed and can be returned without taking into account accrued commission payments. Refunds are made by transferring funds to the applicant's account.

Many drivers are wondering if there is a recycling fee for semi-trailers in 2019. The answer to this question is provided by Resolution 81 of 02/06/2016, which states the mandatory payment of a recycling fee in relation to cars and trailers intended for them.

The resolution approved the rules and conditions for collection, payment, calculation and recovery established by law recycling fee. Similar fees are subject to self-propelled vehicles and different categories of trailers for them.

Conclusion

The assigned recycling fee for cars in Russia is paid by the owner of the car independently. In this case, you need to rely on account numbers to pay the fee.

This information is brought to the attention of payers from the Federal Customs Service of Russia, the Federal Tax Service of Russia, and can be found on the official websites of these organizations. Immediately upon receipt of payment in Vehicle title a special stamp is affixed regarding the amount of the fee paid.

If charges for recycling are not provided, special marks are placed on the passport form regarding the basis for non-payment of the fee.

September 1, 2012 was the day when a fee for the recycling of motor vehicle units was established in Russia. Today, the introduction and application of this excise tax is an integral part of the purchase and sale procedure not only for cars, but also for various types of special equipment. In this article we will talk about what a recycling fee is, what the entry that is considered a special mark means, how it is calculated and whose responsibility is to pay it.

The recycling fee (US) is special kind excise tax the need to introduce which is reflected in the Law “On Production and Consumption Waste” No. 89 (clause 1, article 24-1).

It is presented in the form of a one-time payment aimed at guaranteed recycling of the car after destruction.

This means that the state thereby takes care of environment, obliging the manufacturer or buyer to pay in advance for future work on vehicle disposal.

ATTENTION! In the vehicle passport, in the “Special notes” field, there must be an entry indicating payment of this fee.

However, the lack of this information may not always be a cause for concern. There may be several reasons for non-payment of the fee:

• Russian passport or imported car was issued before September 1, 2012. There is no need to pay this payment when purchasing and owning such a vehicle.
• The car is imported into the Russian Federation from abroad by the buyer. He is also responsible for paying the fee.

There is another reason that does not occur so often. The previous owner was somehow able to bypass the need to pay the fee. In turn, this responsibility falls on the buyer, since information about the existence of a collection debt will be checked during registration.

You may also encounter a situation where a new PTS to replace the recycled one. This is done when there are already a lot of entries in the old passport and new ones simply do not fit.

Who should pay and how much?

The question of who is responsible for paying this fee comes down to how the car was purchased and ended up in Russia.

Eg, An ordinary citizen purchasing a vehicle must pay the fee in the following cases:

1. When importing a car from outside the country and further going through all procedures related to import.
2. By purchasing a car from a person who has avoided this contribution by circumventing the law, or from someone exempt from paying the tax (for example, a consulate or a foreign company).

The amount of the fee is equal to the base rate multiplied by a coefficient that consists of a number of parameters.

REFERENCE! The Government of the Russian Federation issued Decree No. 1291 dated December 26, 2013, which contains all the information about the recycling fee.

Today in Russia the amount of the basic tax rate is:

• 20 thousand rubles – for cars passenger type used for personal purposes;
• 150 thousand rubles – for commercial vehicles and special equipment.

Since the beginning of 2014, a recycling fee has been mandatory for all other types of transport, including ATVs, which has definitely also led to an increase in prices for them. You need to make sure that after payment the PTS is stamped with a recycling stamp.

What is the responsibility if it is not paid?

Certain groups of individuals and organizations are also exempt from paying the tax:

• diplomatic missions and foreign companies, as well as their employees and family members;
• persons participating in special programs, for example, resettlement of compatriots from abroad, and their vehicles;
• owners of vehicles manufactured more than 30 years ago and retaining the original load-bearing parts of the body.

If you do not belong to one of these categories of citizens, and the recycling fee is not paid for some reason, you may experience serious problems. The first and most important problem will be the impossibility of registering a vehicle.

You will still have to pay the tax, and delaying the solution to this problem is fraught with penalties, and upon repeated detection and deprivation of the right to drive a car for up to 90 days, in accordance with Article 12.1 of the Code on administrative offenses RF.

Is it possible to return it back in case of an error?

We can talk about restoring the recycling fee only in cases where this payment was made due to an error, for example, in the case of a repeated payment. Of course, such situations are rare, but they should be talked about.

To receive funds, you must submit an application to the relevant authorities that received the fee, namely:

1. Customs service - in cases of imported vehicles.
2. Tax office - for Russian cars.

IMPORTANT! A citizen of the Russian Federation is given 3 years to apply for an erroneously paid tax payment.

The owner of the car must have a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation, a title for the vehicle, a document with proof of payment for the fee by the previous owner and a receipt. It would be a good idea to prepare copies of these documents in advance. You can receive and fill out a refund form on site. You should expect a response to your application within a month.

Mark “Recycling obligations accepted”

In PTS issued from September 1, 2012 to December 31, 2013, you can find the marks “Disposal obligations accepted” with the corresponding register number, which do not need to be decrypted. This entry states that the manufacturer assumes responsibility for recycling of this car, and accordingly, the buyer no longer has to make this payment separately.

In this situation, it is necessary to check whether the given manufacturer is included in the register of companies involved in recycling. If the company that accepted liability is no longer a member this list, the car owner should keep in mind that problems will arise when registering the vehicle with the traffic police.
