From April 1, the recycling fee for cars imported from the EAEU will change

Earlier, the Ministry of Industry and Trade prepared a draft government resolution, published on the federal portal of regulatory legal acts. Discussion of the document will last until February 20. Amendments are being made to the current resolution No. 1291, which regulates the procedure for calculating the recycling fee. Interfax reports this with reference to the press service of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation.

“In order to equalize the terms of payment of the recycling fee for vehicles imported from the territory of the EAEU member states, the draft resolution proposes to extend the formula that is used to calculate the amount of the recycling fee to cars that are imported by private individuals,” the ministry noted.

The Ministry of Industry and Trade clarified that when calculating the recycling fee, the amount of indirect taxes paid by legal entities when importing cars produced in the EAEU countries into Russia will not be taken into account. According to the project, in 2025, 497 organizations and 90.6 thousand individuals imported vehicles from the EAEU to the Russian Federation.

Earlier it was reported that Russian drivers switched to self-repair of cars.
