To avoid paying a fine for late payment of the transport tax, which must be paid annually, it is necessary to know how transportation tax calculation.

Transport tax, one of the types of regionaltaxes, accrues to the owner for the period of registration of the vehicle - the object of taxation. Even if the car is sold, but re-registered, the receipt for payment will come to the one for whom the vehicle is registered. In this case, the incomplete month is equated to the full one. This does not apply to stolen vehicles, the owner of which submitted a document on hijacking to the tax authorities on time. The time for payment of the transport tax begins upon receipt of the relevant notification. This does not apply to legal entities - they are required to file the declaration themselves. Usually such notification comes not later than a month before the date of payment of the transport tax, the terms of which are established by regional legislators. Table of fines of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate of 2012 stipulates penalties for late payment of the transport tax.

For the exact calculation of the transport taxyou need to know the age of the car. The accrual of years is made starting from January 1, the year following the year of issue. The number of horsepower is also taken into account. In this case, the amount of tax is equal to the tax rate multiplied by the number of "horses" (sum = rate × number of hp). If the car was equipped with a more powerful engine, the owner submits an application for making changes at the place of registration of the car.

However, given the changes, the avalanche that collapsedon motorists, it is necessary to wait for innovations and in this area. A bill has already been prepared to raise the tax for old, non-environmentally friendly cars. In the event of entry into force, owners of vehicles older than 15 years will pay three times as much as the rest. It is assumed that this way the fleet of Russia will be updated. Minpromtorg proposed a gradual increase in the tax, taking into account the age and ecological class of the car. For example, cars of a class lower than the "euro-3" will receive 1.5 tax. Class "euro-3" under the changes will not fall. Owners of Euro-4 class cars will be entitled to a lower coefficient (-0.7). The age itself will be measured five years. Less than five years - 1, up to 10 years - 1.75, over 10 - 2, more than 15 - the coefficient will be 3.
