Road tax for a motorcycle in Belarus. Road tax in Belarus

The mechanism for collecting road tolls in Belarus was initiated by deputies of the House of Representatives in 2014. True, according to their proposal, the size of the state duty should not exceed two basic ones. However, over the years, the amount charged has changed significantly, still remaining a sore point for many drivers.
In particular, car owners admit that refusal to undergo a timely inspection is directly related to high toll rates. Interestingly, this position is fully supported by Beltechosmotr.

Sparing words are confirmed by solid figures: if in 2015 1 million 705 thousand 640 cars passed technical inspection and received “vehicle approval for participation in road traffic”, then in 2016 - 1 million 542 thousand 422. “The reason is that car owners do not want to pay the so-called “road tax”, without which you will not pass a technical inspection,”— the press secretary of Beltechosmotr noted in a comment to Euroradio Tatiana Stepanova.

By the way, the inadequacy of the amount that needs to be paid today outraged even members of parliament.

— There is a proposal to “get rid of” both the technical inspection and everything, and make it a regular fee that the driver pays before going on the road. For example, if some conditional car owner did not drive in the winter and plans to go on the road in April, then he can go and pay this fee for a month, two, three or five and drive safely, says Chairman of the Commission on Industry, Fuel and Energy Complex, Transport and Communications of the House of Representatives Andrei Rybak.

The amount does not depend on which roads you plan to drive on, so there will be no toll roads for Belarusians. But what will technical control of “road toll” payment then look like?

— Options for technical implementation are still being studied,— the deputy admits. — I think this will be normal payment. And then control will be either through the traffic police, or through photographic recording, or through both at the same time... Well, it’s like today: you paid for car insurance, and don’t put any special stickers on the windshield - a traffic police officer stopped you and checked you.

Maybe if they decided to meet people’s demands, then the amount of this fee will be reduced? Alas, according to the deputy, “the amounts will remain the same.”

— This money is actually the only source for the road fund. Today we are faced with the task of not reducing costs on republican roads and repairing local roads. Task — make this fee more flexible and increase fees.

If in the 2017 budget it was planned to collect 322 million 750 thousand rubles" road tax", then in the draft budget for 2018 there is almost 3 million less.

In any case, the fact that you can pay the “road toll” monthly is already a relief. But you can’t expect changes to happen quickly.

— Now proposals have actually been prepared for consideration by the president. If all goes well, a decree will be prepared to initiate this process. Next, it will be necessary to make certain changes to the Code of Administrative Offences, to the Procedural and Administrative Code. It will take some time to bring the legislation into compliance,” notes the interlocutor.

Meanwhile, in some regions of Belarus, employees of the State Traffic Inspectorate, transport police and the Beltechosmotr Unitary Enterprise are preparing to check drivers’ documents at the time of timely technical inspection. According to the publication "Evening Bobruisk", from November 21 until the end of the month, the autumn ten-day "State Technical Inspection" will be held on the roads of the Mogilev region.

First of all, they will stop cars without a characteristic sticker on them. windshield about the passed technical inspection. Drivers without a technical inspection will be fined from 23 to 69 rubles. If you are caught doing the same thing for the second time in a year, the punishment will be from 46 to 115 rubles.

For four years now, car owners have been required to pay a state fee to obtain permission for a vehicle to participate in road traffic, which is popularly called “ transport tax" or "road toll". Some drivers, in order to avoid large financial expenses, easily forget about this requirement of Belarusian legislation, but still get behind the wheel. How much do unauthorized trips cost? The BB correspondent was looking for answers to this and other questions.

Number one

This state fee is a priority payment before going to the inspection station. As reported by the press service of the Tax and Duty Inspectorate of the Vitebsk Region, its rate and amount depend on the category of the payer (individual or organization), type, maximum permitted weight, year of manufacture of the vehicle, and the size of the base unit.

Payment amount for individuals– owners passenger car vary from 3 to 11 base values.

It turns out that if the permitted maximum weight of a car is up to 1.5 tons, you will have to pay 73.5 rubles, from 1.5 to 2 tons - 147 rubles, from 2 to 3 tons - 196 rubles, more than 3 tons - 269.5 rubles.

According to the legislation of Belarus, separate categories citizens can pay state duty with a 50% discount from the basic tariff.

These are veterans of the Great Patriotic War, disabled people of group I or II with a medical certificate of health confirming their fitness to drive motor vehicles.

There is also an exemption from payment for vehicles specially equipped for use by people with disabilities, and cars received (purchased) through labor, employment and social protection authorities. The list of beneficiaries among legal entities is more extensive.

Payment documents are processed separately for each vehicle, noted in the regional tax authorities. The receipt is presented to the employees of the Beltechosmotr Unitary Enterprise.

What are we paying for?

The relevant information is contained in the law on the republican budget for 2018, published on the National Legal Portal. This year, subventions were allocated from the Republican Road Fund to the consolidated budgets of the regions and Minsk, including the Vitebsk region in the amount of 21,980,535 rubles.

The amount is allocated for construction, reconstruction, major and current repairs of local highways and payment of interest on loans received for these purposes in accordance with legislative acts.

By the way, many countries around the world pay a similar fee. For example, in the USA it is included in the price of fuel (approximately 15% of the cost). In Russia, the transport tax is tied to the power of the car. In Kazakhstan it is calculated based on engine volume. In Denmark, when registering a car, the driver pays 105% of the cost of the car. But it should be noted that in some European countries roads are toll. And this partially solves the issue related to financing the repair of the highway.

Calculations

One acquaintance has been riding for almost six months without a technical inspection only because he has not paid the state fee.

“I started counting, and the amount turned out to be impressive,” he said. – So, the transport fee for my iron horse will be as much as 539 rubles. This is in two years, since the car is less than ten years old and weighs more than 3 tons. Plus, pay for a technical inspection, for which you need to prepare the car, for example, undergo preventive diagnostics at a service station. And, of course, we must not forget about insurance.

Total: you need to pay about 1,000 rubles. Really, a lot? This amount will make a hole in the family budget. But so far I’ve been lucky, I’ve never caught the eye of the State Traffic Inspectorate.

By the way, there are other citizens who also avoid paying state duty, considering it unfair that they use personal transport seasonally, but pay for the whole year.

The number of cars that undergo regular maintenance is decreasing every year.

According to the branch of UE "Beltekhosmot" in the Vitebsk region, the number of cars that regularly undergo technical control decreases every year.

According to the head of the branch of the Beltechosmotr unitary enterprise in the Vitebsk region Wilhelm Kiszkowski, the peak of those wishing to obtain permission to participate in road traffic was observed on the eve of the introduction of a mandatory transport tax.

So, in 2012, more than 202 thousand car owners acquired it, in 2013 - over 203 thousand. Then their number began to decline. In 2017, 166,529 cars in our region underwent technical inspection, which is almost 16 thousand less than in 2016, and minus almost 35 thousand compared to 2015. This year, 116,357 vehicles received approval over 9 months.

By the way, inspection stations have a uniform standard for vehicle inspection. As Vilhelm Vilhelmovich said, they check the condition of the engine, wheels and tires, operation braking systems, steering, external lights, windshield wipers, etc.

If a malfunction is detected, the driver receives diagnostic card, in which the identified shortcomings are included, and the car is sent for re-inspection.

For the technical inspection itself, the fee is charged according to the tariffs of the diagnostic station. You will also have to pay an additional 0.3 of the base amount for vehicle identification, registration and permit registration.

Which is more profitable?

Should I pay a fine or state fee? As the head of the department for agitation and propaganda of the State Traffic Inspectorate of the Internal Affairs Directorate of the regional executive committee said Alexander Kazyuchits, the punishment for driving without a technical inspection is provided for in Part 5 of Art. 18.12 of the Code of Administrative Offences.

For driving a vehicle that has not passed state inspection, the fine ranges from 1 to 3 basic units.

In case of repeated violation within a year - up to 5 BV. It turns out that for the first “hit” you need to pay 24.5 rubles. This, of course, is more profitable than paying a state fee and undergoing a technical inspection.

But there is another side to the coin: you can receive a fine several times a month. In this case, the motorist will most likely regret that he avoided the inspection station.

By the way, on the website of RUE “Beltekhosmot” there is a database that contains information about all cars that have passed the inspection procedure. Information is updated daily on business days and is valid only at the time the results are received. The description states: the information received is for reference only and cannot be used to confirm any fact of legal significance.

At the beginning of October this year, the Prime Minister of Belarus Sergey Rumas stated: “The duty on maintenance will be waived, but it will not be included in the cost of fuel.”

As previously planned, drivers will pay for the right to access road traffic through the ERIP system for a period of one month. Thus, according to the authorities, justice will be restored to those people who do not use a car all year round.

The new scheme can start operating from July 1, 2019, the Prime Minister said. Comparing the ERIP database with the photo-recording and technical inspection databases will help resolve the issue with duty defaulters.

“And then those who have not paid for admission to the movement will pay double,”– added Sergei Rumas.

Final choice

- I sold my car last year.– said the former car enthusiast. – I had an old Mazda, the engine of which was a little malfunctioning, the body was even rusty in places. In this condition the car would never pass inspection. My wallet did not allow me to make the appropriate repairs, pay the state duty and maintenance. But he didn’t take the risk of driving a “trough” that was unsafe for others and sold it. Today, for me personally, it is more profitable to travel by public transport or walk.

Unfortunately, not all drivers share a similar opinion and continue to drive faulty cars.

As a result, road accidents, sometimes even fatal, stated Alexander Kazyuchits. And the reason for this is not the amount of that very state duty. And the conscience of drivers, each of whom should remember that the price of leaving a car that has not passed the appropriate test technical condition, equal to human life...

The press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs reported that respondents supported the new draft law. The main innovation is penalty point system. Points will be awarded for committing administrative offenses against traffic safety and transport operation. Also, the list of offenses for which points will be awarded will be expanded. not provided.

The new system will be built in such a way that points will be awarded based on the person’s administrative offense, if the sanction of the violated article provided:

• A fine of up to 3 basic units or the offense was recorded by automatically operating technical means with photo and video recording functions. 1 point
• Fine up to 5 basic units - 2 points
• Fine up to 10 basic units - 3 points
• A fine of more than 10 basic units or deprivation of the right to drive a vehicle - 4 points

However, scoring not provided for committing administrative offenses, which are provided for in Part 6.8 of Art. 18.12, Art. 18.20, part 5 art. 18.22 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Republic of Belarus.

Penalty points are taken into account and are awarded during a year preceding the day of commission of the last administrative offense entailing the accrual of penalty points.

Kit 15 or more points entails termination of the right to drive a vehicle for a period for 6 months.

You can get acquainted with the number of penalty points using mobile application, which is developed by the internal affairs bodies.

Also, the majority of respondents agreed that needs to be replaced“perpetual” driving licenses, thereby creating a level playing field for all drivers. The issues of passing exams in a car with automatic transmission were discussed.

This bill is planned submit for consideration to Parliament, all that remains is to make the necessary adjustments to the document.

Motorcyclists get ready

The law amends the article entitled “Failure to comply with the requirements of regulatory signals, violation of the rules for transporting passengers or other traffic regulations.” Now, riding a moped, a motorcycle on one wheel, as well as driving when the driver does not hold the steering wheel or does not keep his feet on the pedals will entail a fine of from 5 to 10 basic units With deprivation of rights vehicle management term up to 6 months or without deprivation.

Also, the actions of the driver, which forced other participants traffic changing speed, direction or taking other measures to ensure traffic safety is subject to a fine t 5 to 20 base units with deprivation of control TS up to 2 years or without such deprivation.

More changes:

WITH January 31, 2018 In 2009, some changes came into force in the administrative code that relate to traffic rules.

The article was changed. 18.17 Code of Administrative Offences. It states that now in the event of an accident, when only damage to the property of the vehicle occurs, then liability arises for specific points of the traffic rules, non-compliance with which is the cause of such a road accident.

Canceled responsibility for forgotten documents confirming the right to drive a vehicle.

Attentively!

Due to the new changes, it will be possible to pay the fine within 1 month (previously 5 days), if you decide to pay such a fine on the spot (if you do not pay in term - collection increases by 2 base values)

If a fine is imposed, more will not be confiscated driver's license ticket.

Article 18.19 - now for repeated driving of a vehicle within a year by a person who does not have the right to do so administrative arrest for up to 15 days.

Also in Article 18.13 it was proposed not to deprive people of rights for repeated speed violations, but in the second reading of the bill there was an initiative to maintain the old norm. That is, for speeding from 20 to 30 km/h and from 30 or more km/h, committed repeatedly within a year - threatens with deprivation of rights to drive a vehicle.

About technical inspection and registration

The Council of Ministers of the Republic of Belarus dated December 6, 2017 No. 933 adopted a resolution that amends the regulations on the admission of vehicles to participation. It contains a list of cases when an employee of the Beltechosmotr Unitary Enterprise transfers a mark to the certificate of technical inspection. The mark is transferred in the following cases:

• issuance of a duplicate vehicle registration certificate
• making changes to the vehicle registration certificate
• issuance of a new inspection certificate
• state registration of a vehicle by the new owner during the period of validity of the permit for admission of the vehicle to participate in road traffic

From July 1, 2018, electronic PTS will be introduced

WITH January 1, 2018 entered into force Agreement on the Customs Code of the Eurasian Economic Union.

In the territory customs union electronic PTS is introduced.

What is this?

Electronic passport technical means(PTS) - the same PTS that you have in your hands in paper form, only the “new” one will be stored in the database, and you get access to it at any time. This introduction has been planned for a long time; back in 2014 there was an initiative to introduce it, but this will only be implemented in the summer of 2018.

What is it for?

The electronic form is very convenient; you don’t have to take a paper form of PTS with you all the time before driving your car. This makes life much easier. The traffic police officer no longer needs to demand from you, and you, in turn, will not give him a passport for the technical equipment. Now you just need to go to the database and look at everything about the car: model, make, owner of the car, what accidents there were, information about technical inspection, as well as the mileage of the car. With the introduction of this innovation, it will be impossible to fake a PTS and to rewind the mileage (as unscrupulous car owners like to do in order to sell the car at a higher price).

What about the old PTS?

Nothing is known about this yet. Most likely, the paper version will not be canceled yet, but there will be an electronic version in the form we are familiar with. A gradual transition to the new standard is planned; people need to get used to it.

Who will have access?

The owner of the vehicle, traffic police officers and authorized bodies will have access to the system. Now the history of your car will become transparent and understandable both for you and for the officer who stopped you.

Unconfirmed changes

Now it says that if a driver exceeds the speed limit by 40 or more km/h, this will result in a fine in the amount of 7 to 15 basic values. It is very important here that the mention of repeated violation and liability in the form of deprivation of rights has disappeared.
They want to equalize the responsibility recorded using photographic evidence and that of a traffic police officer for exceeding the speed limit.
Also, for failure to comply with the requirements of traffic control signals, violation of the rules for transporting passengers will be applied not only to drivers, but also to persons who do not have the right to drive a vehicle
Remain responsible for traffic violation resulting in minor injuries - necessary request of the victim to initiate an administrative procedure.

Table of road tax rates in Belarus in 2019. The size of the recycling fee and which cars are subject to this tax.

By paying transport tax in Belarus, the car owner receives the right to become a participant in the country's road traffic. Neither physical nor legal entities states do not have the right to travel in vehicles unless the toll has been paid. Depending on the characteristics of the car, the deductible amount may vary.

Everyone who uses vehicles is required to pay road tax in Belarus. This type of taxation was created in order to maintain the country's highways in good condition. Without paying the car tax, you will not be able to pass another mandatory stage of admission to driving on state highways - state technical inspection. It will be carried out only after presentation of a tax payment document.

In Belarus they pay more taxes on salaries than in the USA, but less than in Germany

For example, if you need to pay transport tax on a tractor, the calculation will be made based on the weight of this type of vehicle. You can calculate the amount of tax using a calculator, which can be found on the Internet on the website of the tax office and related resources.

Recycling collection

Since thousands of vehicles from abroad are imported into the Republic of Belarus every year, it is worth remembering that there is also a recycling fee in Belarus.

It does not matter which country the vehicle is imported from, those who import it must pay a scrap fee, which will go to the state treasury. In the future, it is used to recycle machines that are no longer in use.

A recycling fee was introduced in 2014. They do not pay it upon import:

• cars that are more than 30 years old and all their main spare parts are original;
• The vehicle is made in Belarus.
