Today, the basic rate for salvage in Russia is 20,000 rubles. But if in certain cases for new cars a coefficient of 0.17 is applied, and for used cars (cars older than 3 years are considered such) – 0.26, then “yuriki” and “ipeshniks” pay hundreds of thousands of “wooden” to the treasury, depending not only on the age, but also on the technical characteristics of the machine. Why? Because they import foreign cars for commercial purposes.

To save on recycling costs, many companies that decide to make extra money by reselling imported cars use “private dealers”. But the FCS revealed this cunning plan and went into battle. According to Gazeta.ru, they now check at customs how many cars a particular citizen has already imported, and if this number seems suspiciously high to them, they charge him waste tax as a legal entity.

What do lawyers think of this? The situation is ambiguous. Legally, the number of cars imported by one citizen is not limited. But since such standards do not exist, the regulator is guided by the decision of the Supreme Court Plenum No. 49 of November 26, 2019, which states that “the importation of more than two cars during the year can be considered systematic”. However, according to lawyers, this does not equate to entrepreneurial activity. So – what luck. And if you’re unlucky, the only way to get justice is to go to court.

In general, be that as it may, but “commercial” salvage costs have already accumulated. And now? It is unlikely that there will be fewer imported cars. On the contrary, they will increase significantly in price, since the tax for the end buyer will be “laid” in the cost of the car.
