Which cars are not subject to vehicle tax?

27.06.2022 /

If you want to buy a car, then be prepared for the fact that this pleasure will cost you quite a lot. In addition to the costs of refueling, routine repairs and the purchase of spare parts, you will have to bear many other costs:

  • registration of obligatory OSAGO insurance;
  • payment of fines - no matter how hard the driver tries to adhere to the rules of the road, traffic police inspectors will always be able to detect violations;
  • annual technical inspection;
  • purchase of necessary accessories - a fire extinguisher and first aid kit, which have a limited shelf life;
  • payment for travel on toll roads - there are quite a lot of them in Russia, and we have already written about many of them on Vodi.su.

And of course, we should not forget about the transport tax, which is paid by all vehicle owners in Russia. We also talked earlier on the pages of our autoportal that the amount of transport tax can be significantly reduced. Many motorists are interested in the question - is it possible not to pay transport tax at all? Are there any cars that are not taxed?

Let's try to understand this issue.

Which cars are not subject to vehicle tax?

Who Can't Pay Transport Tax?

The requirements of the tax authorities have become much tougher in recent years. So, in many regions of Russia, until recently, a regional law was in force, according to which vehicles manufactured more than 25 years ago and with an engine power of not more than 100 horsepower were exempt from paying tax.

Unfortunately, this rule has been abolished since January 1, 2010. That is, today you are obliged to pay tax according to the existing scheme - the rate is calculated based on the engine power. This includes not only cars, but also other types of mechanical transport:

  • motorcycles, scooters;
  • motor boats, sea or river vessels;
  • agricultural machinery;
  • aviation.

Therefore, it will be much more profitable to hand over auto junk under the recycling program than to pay rather high amounts for it annually to regional budgets.

There is also a list of categories of citizens clearly established by law that are exempt from paying TN. This list can be found in article 358 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

Firstly, TN may not be paid by persons with disabilities who, through various social protection funds, have been issued vehicles specially equipped to drive people with disabilities. At the same time, the power of such a vehicle should not be more than 100 horsepower.

Secondly, VAT is not charged on motor boats with an engine of less than 5 hp. power. Owners of fishing and passenger river or sea vessels, as well as aircraft, do not pay it, provided that they are used clearly for their intended purpose:

  • transportation of goods;
  • transportation of passengers.

Thirdly, farmers and agricultural enterprises that use the equipment they have on their balance sheets for the production and transportation of agricultural products are exempted from TN. That is, if, for example, you are an officially registered farmer and use your tractor or truck to transport products to markets or processing plants, then you do not need to pay TN.

Various federal executive bodies do not pay taxes for their transport, where the military or equivalent service is legally provided: the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, etc.

Owners of vehicles that are stolen and are on the wanted list are also exempt from paying TN. That is, if it so happened that your car was stolen and you received all the relevant certificates from the police, then you can not pay the tax. Although, this is not the strongest consolation in this situation.

Well, you can select some regions of the Russian Federation, where you can not pay transport tax for cars.

Unfortunately, there are only three such regions:

  • Orenburg region - there is no legally established TN for cars with a power of up to 100 hp;
  • Nenets Autonomous Okrug - owners of vehicles with an engine power up to 150 hp are exempted from HP;
  • Kabardino-Balkaria - tax is not paid for vehicles up to 100 hp over 10 years old.

Thus, if you have relatives in these constituent entities of the Russian Federation, register your cars on them and legally exempt yourself from paying TN. Also, we previously considered on Vodi.su ways to legally not pay or, at least, to reduce the annual amount of TN as much as possible.

Regions with the lowest TH rate

There are also a number of regions where TN rates are very low and there is differentiation. you have to pay as much as the owners of the new Gelendvagens pay.

The lowest taxes for cars with an engine up to 100 hp:

  • Ingushetia - 5 rubles;
  • Kaliningrad and the region - 2,5 rubles;
  • Krasnoyarsk Territory - 5 rubles;
  • Sverdlovsk region - 2,5 rubles;
  • Tomsk region - 5 rubles.

More than 20 rubles per hp you will have to pay in the following areas: Vologda, Voronezh, Nizhny Novgorod regions, Perm Territory, Tatarstan, St. Petersburg.

It is worth saying that we used the data for 2015-2016. It is simply physically impossible to study all the data on the regions of Russia, especially since in recent years, due to the crisis in the economy, the authorities are trying to raise tariffs and taxes in all spheres of life. Therefore, it will not be a surprise if it turns out that taxes will be increased by a new order of the Government of the Russian Federation or each individual subject of the Russian Federation.
