In Russia, the inspection will rise in price, and that’s why

The Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) made a proposal to increase minimal tariffs since 2026. This is explained by the new tax legislation, according to which inspection operators are now required to pay VAT in the provision of their services. The corresponding draft amendments to the departmental order regulating the methodology for calculating the amount of fees for conducting a technical inspection was published on the federal portal of draft regulatory legal acts, Kommersant drew attention to it.

The tax, which from November 1, 2024 must pay operators, will be laid in the basic cost of a technical inspection and write down in the FAS methodology. Tariffs for 2026 will be approved until December 20 of this year. So, the minimum tariff for then cars will be increased from 913 to 1,500 rubles, and for minibuses (category M2) – from 1560 to 2570 rubles.

The main inspection will rise in price for trucks weighing more than 12 tons (category N3): the minimum price increases from 1960 to 3230 rubles. The operators themselves supported the proposal of the FAS.

It is worth noting that from January 1, 2025, the inspection for owners of passenger cars has already risen in price as part of the annual indexation. For owners of cars, the price increased by 7.3-7.5 percent, depending on the region, while in some regions the tariff is already higher than that which the FAS offers. For example, in the Amur Region, car owners pay from 1.69 thousand rubles, and in the Krasnodar Territory – 1.56 thousand rubles.

Otherwise, in Russia, the initial cost of the service is a little more than a thousand rubles, and if the amendments are adopted, it will increase by 50 percent.
