Why is the transport tax different in the regions?
Why do regions have different transport taxes?
Russian tax legislation provides the constituent entities of the federation with the freedom to independently establish the amounts of taxation of vehicles. Thus, at the same time there are 80 tax rates in force in our country. So for the VAZ 2105 the tax amount in 2013 varies depending on the region from 0 to 1600 rubles, and for the Peugeot 308 from 0 to 4200. We decided to find out where the numbers reach their minimum and maximum values.
In Russia, each federal subject determines the amount of transport tax independently. The only condition: the amount of tax collections in the region cannot exceed the all-Russian norm established by federal law by more than 10 times. We decided to review taxation for 2013 using the example of two cars - VAZ 2105 (engine power 64 hp) and Peugeot 308 (120 horsepower).
We will calculate the tax based on the fact that the cars are in our ownership throughout 2013. The formula for calculation is extremely simple: transport tax rate X engine power = tax amount.
Federal legislation stipulates the maximum rates. For cars with power up to 100 HP. With. the maximum rate is 25. In the range from 100 to 150 - 35. Based on this, for the VAZ 2105 the maximum annual tax will be 1600 rubles, and for the Peugeot 308 - 4200 rubles.
The maximum - 4,200 rubles - for a Peugeot 308 (and for other cars with engine power from 100 to 150 hp) is paid in St. Petersburg, Leningrad, Novgorod and Sakhalin regions, the republics of Tatarstan, Mari El and Bashkortostan. The last two established the maximum tax on Zhiguli cars - 1,600 rubles. St. Petersburg is “breathing down their necks” - here our “five” costs 1,536 rubles a year.
Owners of domestic cars live freely in the Sverdlovsk, Smolensk and Orenburg regions. In these regions, cars with power up to 100 hp. With. are not taxed. The amounts of fees from Peugeot owners here are at an average level - 1608, 1920 and 1800 rubles, respectively.
The Nenets and Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrugs, as well as the Chechen Republic, can boast of the most attractive tax system for car owners. Passenger cars here are taxed only starting from 150 liters. With. Thus, there is no need to wait for a receipt from the tax office for any of our cars.

What are the transport tax rates in the regions of Russia in 2019? Lawyer on ways to reduce taxes
Previously, when choosing a car, few buyers thought about the future transport tax. The amount of horsepower under the hood was of interest to the future car owner solely as a technical possibility of transport. But constant increases in tax rates have taught vehicle owners to think about the amount of tax. There will still be some, in light of the latest changes to the tax code since the beginning of 2019: tax rates have risen almost 2 times for all vehicle owners. Everyone knows that individuals pay taxes for their vehicles not in advance, but after the fact, a year later for the previous year of car ownership. Therefore, we, car owners, will feel the increase in the transport tax on our wallets especially acutely in 2019.
Transport tax cannot but worry car owners. When communicating with each other, vehicle owners wonder why the transport tax amounts are different in neighboring regions. Why are different amounts charged for identical cars based on technical characteristics in two neighboring regions? How is transport tax determined by region?
Federal and regional rates - what are the differences?
The mechanism for forming the transport tax is as follows: The State Duma of the Russian Federation adopted the basic law on transport tax at the federal level at the beginning of 2000, but defining it as regional, which is reflected in the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. That is, despite the fact that federal rates and payment rules have been established, the final decisive word remains with the regional authorities. They can change the rate, as the transport tax replenishes local regional budgets.
An interesting fact is that regional laws can increase the rate by no more than 10 times, it can be reduced, and a decision can be made on full or partial exemption from transport tax for individual citizens. That is why, in neighboring, bordering regions, vehicle owners are charged different amounts of tax. Economists and lawyers say it is difficult to say on what basis each region makes a particular decision. Some “rich” regions, with well-filled local budgets, raise rates. At the same time, “poor” regions, which seem to need money from the budget more, on the contrary, reduce rates for their residents. In other similar regions, transport taxation follows the opposite pattern.
The legislative framework
The tax code is a kind of tax constitution. All the main provisions of the transport tax, the composition of taxpayers, rates, principles of calculation and the procedure for filing reports are reflected in Chapter 28 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. Repeatedly since the beginning of the 2000s, the federal law on transport tax has been changed and supplemented. The latest changes at the federal level entered into legal force in the middle of this year and affected almost all vehicle owners. At the same time, the car tax remained under the jurisdiction of regional authorities. Transport tax by region has been and will be accrued on the basis of several legislative documents: Federal Law No. 117 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation and local laws (regions, cities, territories).
What determines the amount of tax?
Regardless of who owns the vehicle, an individual or an organization, the tax is calculated using one method and one formula.
The amount of tax is affected by:
- transport tax rate approved by the region. Every year, local regional Dumas revise regulations regarding tax rates for transport taxes. They can continue to extend last year’s local law, or they can change it. The limiter in the direction of increase is 10 times the size. The federal rate cannot be increased more than 10 times;
- the amount of horsepower in a car. This information regarding each individual vehicle is available in its technical passport and vehicle certificate. In our country, at the same time as using the unit of measurement of engine power in “horses”, the documents indicate the international unit kW. For example, it is written as follows: 117/160 hp/kW. If you only know the power in kW, then you just need to multiply it by 1.35962, and you will find out the power of your car in horsepower, and the number must be rounded up. 117 kW * 1.35962 = 159.075 = 160 hp;
- vehicle ownership time. The amount of tax is affected by the number of months of ownership of the vehicle during the year, and in the calculation formula the year is equal to one.
Example No. 1 , Evgeniy Petrovich bought a car in February last year. Accordingly, he owned it for less than a year, namely 11 months a year. This means that the tax will be calculated using the formula:
regional tax rate * Engine power * 11 months.
Example No. 2 , Pyotr Evgenievich owned a car for a full calendar year, from January to December. Tax calculation for it will be made according to the formula:
regional tax rate * Engine power;
- increasing coefficient. It is not used for all vehicles, but only for those that cost more than 3 million rubles and are on the special list of expensive vehicles of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation. This is a kind of surcharge to the general transport tax for luxury.
Example No. 3 , Alexey Vladimirovich purchased an expensive car, which is on the “luxury” list of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, and owned it for less than a year, namely 4 months. The tax for his car will be calculated using the formula:
regional tax rate * Engine power * 4 months * Increasing factor.
Example No. 4 , Vladimir Alekseevich was the owner of a car from the list of luxurious and expensive cars according to the rating of the Ministry of Industry and Trade for a full calendar year. In the calculation formula, the year is equal to one, and therefore the calculation will proceed as follows:
regional tax rate * Engine power * Increasing factor.
Calculating your tax is easy. The easiest way for active Internet users is calculator sites for calculating various taxes, including transport taxes. It is worth paying attention to the information that is written before the calculation. As a rule, a free service gives an approximate, average result that requires clarification at the local tax office.

Table of transport tax rates by region for passenger vehicles in rubles per horsepower.
How can I find out the rate in my region?
Today, all taxpayers can be divided into two large groups:
- 1st group: people who actively benefit from modern technological progress. For these people there is no problem how to find out any information. In a couple of minutes they can find out everything from the price of a Madagascar cockroach to the distance between Mars and Mercury. These taxpayers can quickly and independently find and find out the tax rate in their region on the official website of the tax service, using electronic services for individuals. You only need to enter your data, the name of the tax (in our case it is transport tax), your region and the tax calculation period. In just a couple of minutes, the taxpayer will find out the size of tax rates in his region, depending on the amount of horsepower, for a certain period. And, at the same time, he will receive information about the legislative act of local significance on the basis of which the rate is set, its full name, number, date of approval;
- 2nd group: people from the past who do not trust “all your Internet, computers and cards.” For this group of people, there is only one way to obtain information about the rate in their region - a personal visit to the tax office at their place of registration. They do not take into account travel costs and wasted time, preferring this way of obtaining information. They believe that only from an inspector of the Federal Tax Service can they obtain reliable data. This opinion does exist.
Is it possible to reduce the tax amount?
There is a lot of controversy regarding ways to reduce the amount of tax. If we talk only about legal methods of reducing your car tax, then there are only three of them:
- If you are confused by the amount of tax on your car, maybe you should change it to a less powerful and cheaper alternative transport? The car, as they say, should be affordable. The fewer “horses”, the cheaper the tax. Isn't this the solution to the issue?
- In order to save your budget, you may be advised to register your vehicle in another region with lower tax rates. There are regions with low transport taxes, and perhaps they will be neighboring your region. Such an action is not prohibited by law. A significant disadvantage of such an event will always be transportation costs for any future actions with the car. Perhaps this saving option is suitable for someone.
- Obtaining preferential taxation. Perhaps you belong to a preferential category of citizens approved by your regional laws or to federal beneficiaries. You should find out about this at your local Federal Tax Service and take advantage of the benefit.
Preferential taxation
In addition to federal benefit recipients, a local composition of taxpayer-beneficiaries is formed in each individual subject of the Federation. As a rule, the list of persons completely exempt from transport tax is small. It consists of the most vulnerable categories of persons and citizens who have special merits to the Fatherland.
Local authorities give discounts on car taxes to some categories of citizens. For example, combat veterans who own vehicles living in the Kurgan region receive a 70% discount, and in the Jewish Autonomous Region - only 30%.
But beneficiaries should remember that the benefit itself will not appear, and they need to prove their involvement in it. It is necessary to contact the branch of the tax service at the place of registration with an application for a benefit on the payment of transport tax. The applicant will also be required to provide a certain package of documents certifying the right to apply to the tax authority (his passport, TIN), documents for the car for which the application is being made (PTS, STS) and a document on the basis of which the benefit can be applied (certificate, certificate) .
Conclusion
Many vehicle owners are interested in: “Which region has the lowest transport tax?” And on what basis are regional laws regarding this tax adopted? Why are different amounts of tax charged on cars of the same power in neighboring regions? Where is the logic? We can say that for car owners the “luck” factor comes into play: where the owner and the car are registered, and what law on the rate the regional authorities will adopt.
And it is important to remember that these local laws are revised annually. No one can predict whether they will be extended with the same rates or new ones will be established. The most favorable tax conditions in 2019 for car owners exist in the Republic of Sakha, Tyva, Chechnya, Crimea; Transbaikal and Chukotka Territories; Nenets and Jewish Autonomous Okrug, as well as in the Murmansk, Magadan and Omsk regions.
For those car owners whose car is not a luxury, but a means of transportation, who are concerned about the size of the transport tax, we can advise you to have a car in accordance with your income and calculate the possible tax in advance before purchasing.
For those who purchase luxurious, expensive cars for their own pleasure and self-expression, the topic of tax burden is not interesting in principle. You have to pay for pleasure, and they know it.
We wish all motorists a successful smooth road!
Regions with the highest and lowest transport taxes: why is there such a difference?
The answer to the question why the transport tax is different in the regions lies in the principles of its formation. There are two components:
- the base rate, which is set at the federal level (Chapter 28 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation);
- correction coefficients that are used in the constituent entities of the Federation.
General principles
The main thing that determines the basic amount of transport tax is engine power.
You can get more information from the tax office
Additional characteristics are:
- type of vehicle (car, truck);
- age of the car;
- Country of Origin;
- time of ownership of the vehicle within the current tax period.
A separate category is vehicles costing more than 3,000,000 rubles. For them, when calculating the tax, an increasing coefficient is applied (clause 1 of Article 358 of the Tax Code).
Why are the amounts different?
Each region, territory, republic can independently set the coefficients by which the base tariff rate is multiplied. They have the right to designate categories of cars and car owners entitled to benefits.
Pensioners receive discounts on transport tax
Federal authorities limit the maximum value of the regions’ “appetites”. Thus, the general rule is: the regional rate cannot exceed the federal rate by more than ten times. The maximum bet amounts for specific vehicle parameters are also specified.
Also, the degree of “preference” or even exemption from tax can be influenced not only by the engine power, but also by the “old age” of the car and the fact whether it is domestic. The establishment of benefits may depend not only on the car, but also on the category of car owners.
Regions with the highest taxes
According to the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, in 2019, several regions prescribed the highest possible rate for cars with an engine rating of less than 100 “horses”. It is 25 rubles per “horse”.
- Republic of Bashkortostan;
- Republic of Tatarstan (for legal entities);
- Vologda Region;
- Kursk region.
24 rubles per 1 hp. Users of low-power cars in St. Petersburg will pay.
The base rate is the same for everyone, and the difference is determined by regional laws
Payment of a tariff of 20 rubles or more is also established in:
- Komi Republic (for certain categories);
- Vladimir region;
- Voronezh region;
- Penza region (for cars under 15 years of age);
- Tambov region.
The corresponding level of tariffs also applies to more powerful machines. In those regions where the limit coefficient is established, it is:
- up to 150 hp – 35;
- up to 200 hp - 50;
- up to 250 hp – 75;
- more than 250 hp – 150 rubles.
Lowest Rate Areas
You won't pay tax on cars with less than 100 horsepower under the hood if you live in:
- Kabardino-Balkarian Republic (for cars 10 years old and older);
- Orenburg region;
- Sverdlovsk region.
Transport tax benefits apply only to certain persons
Only five rubles per 1 hp. pay in:
- Republic of Ingushetia;
- Krasnoyarsk region;
- Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug (Yugra);
- Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol.
In these same regions, the owner of cars with a capacity of up to 150 horsepower will pay only 7 rubles per “horse” (with the exception of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, where the rate is 14.5 rubles).
The tax depends on the type of car, year of manufacture, engine size
It is curious that for this category of cars in Kabardino-Balkaria and the Orenburg region (where there is no tax on low-power cars) the coefficient is set at 15 rubles, and in the Sverdlovsk region - 9.4 rubles. In the Orenburg region, for cars with a capacity of more than 150 “horses”, the maximum possible rates are assigned.
You can save a lot on tax by owning a super-powerful car (more than 250 hp):
- Republic of Ingushetia - only 40 rubles per “horse”;
- Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) - 60;
- Primorsky Krai - 45 rubles for cars older than 10 years;
- Magadan region - 45;
- Nenets Autonomous Okrug - 50;
- In the Republic of Crimea - 50, but in Sevastopol - 100 rubles.
There is a common belief that car owners in the Chechen Republic do not pay transport tax at all or pay a meager amount. Available official data for 2019 refute this myth.
Tariffs in this region, although lower than the national average, are not the lowest - from 7 rubles for cars with a power of less than 100 hp. up to 91 rubles for the most powerful cars. So the question of why there is a small transport tax in Chechnya has already lost its relevance.
What categories of citizens are entitled to discounts?
There are two categories of benefits:
- federal;
- regional.
Many will be interested in reading the tax code to clarify the information.
The list of beneficiaries established at the state level is not subject to revision in the regions and includes:
- owners of cars with engine power less than 70 horsepower;
- one of the parents in a large family;
- participants of the Great Patriotic War;
- Heroes of the Soviet Union;
- Heroes of Russia;
- holders of the Orders of Glory of all degrees;
- disabled people and pensioners of the wars in Afghanistan, Chechnya and other military conflicts;
- disabled people of group 2;
- those who transport incapacitated citizens in their cars;
- one of the parents of a disabled child;
- exposed to nuclear radiation.
Regional benefits are different in each territory and are assigned or canceled almost every year. Therefore, you should contact your local administration for current lists.
Conclusion
The amount of transport tax consists of many components, which is why transport tax differs in regions. You will see the exact amount after the end of the tax period in your personal account on the Federal Tax Service website or in a notification sent by mail.
What kind of car do you have and how much are you paying for it?

Oleg Pakholkov: “Transport tax is legalized robbery”
“A Just Russia has more than once taken the initiative to abolish the transport tax, which unfairly equalizes all motorists without exception,” says State Duma deputy Oleg Pakholkov. – Why should a pensioner who goes to his dacha several times in the summer in an old Moskvich, but does not use the car the rest of the time, have to pay tax for the entire calendar year? Is it possible to compare such a motorist with avid racers or large companies involved in cargo transportation throughout the country?
We proposed an honest approach - to introduce excise taxes on fuel. How it works in reality: the driver poured 20 liters of gasoline into the tank, paid at the cash register at the gas station (the cost of one liter already includes the tax component, that is, the excise tax). How much fuel I spent - how much taxes I paid. Not a penny more! If you don’t want to leave the garage for six months, that’s your right. And for this you should not be charged three skins in the form of transport tax. This is true!
What happened in the end cannot be called anything other than fraud and robbery. United Russia adopted a law to increase excise taxes (in 2011 - by 1 ruble, in 2012 - by 2, in 2013 - by 3 rubles), but did not abolish the previous transport tax.
Now, perhaps, the most interesting thing is the numbers. The Ministry of Finance, immediately after approving the increase in fuel excise taxes in the summer of 2010, announced the amount by which it was supposed to enrich itself at the expense of Russian motorists - 200 billion rubles in 2011, 370 billion in 2012 and 500 billion in 2013. Total – 1 trillion 70 billion rubles.
There are about 24 million motorists in Russia. A simple calculation shows that in three years everyone will lose 44,500 rubles. Don’t forget that this is in addition to the transport tax, which has not yet been abolished.
The record was restored manually because not all records could be restored after restoring the deleted page.
Good day to all, motorists and those who dream of becoming one!
Just the other day, in a lively discussion, I had the imprudence to mention that in Russia there are regions with a complete absence of taxes for old cars.
The incredulous people, of course, demanded evidence - but it’s a pity, since I made this conclusion thanks to one logbook with an old Muscovite 401. The owner of this dinosaur did not pay taxes and boasted that his region allowed it. Well, I can only be happy for him, but unfortunately, I didn’t add his car to my bookmarks or my feed, so it’s now impossible to “poke” the link. What's possible? Ooooh, a lot of things - after all, we have the almighty Google! It will definitely help me find more information on this matter.
So, first we should clarify why different places in Russia have different transport taxes.
Everything is very simple - each region has its own laws. No, of course, they adhere to the same recommendations and dominant legislative acts from the highest levels, but in some ways they may differ significantly. And taxes and benefits are one of the most serious differences. Thanks again to Google for the information - in some regions, liquidators of the Mayak and Chernobyl accidents, and in some places even large families, are exempt from paying transport tax. There are also benefits for relatives of war veterans, pensioners, etc., but this is not as interesting as the benefits for the average person. Now I will list the most interesting subjects of the Russian Federation in this regard. Perhaps this information will be one of the factors that influenced a change of place of residence, if one was planned)))
Please note - in some regions, even despite the “discount” on the tax on old cars, the price for 1 hp. is still higher than in others, where there are no benefits, but 1 hp. it's very cheap. I am simply providing a list showing the constituent entities of the Russian Federation that offer benefits for having a car of a certain age or capacity. The article is NOT FROM THE INTERNET, compiled by me personally based on data from some sites.
So, regions where the transport tax is 0 rubles. under certain conditions:

And here is a quote about benefits:
“To receive a benefit, you need to contact the tax office at your place of permanent residence (the place of registration of your vehicle does not matter). To do this, an application is sent to the inspectorate. It should indicate that you are entitled to a benefit (give on what basis) and indicate information on the car that will be benefited (its name, license plate number, etc.). The application must be accompanied by copies of all documents that confirm your right to benefits (for example, a combat veteran’s certificate). You have the right to take the application and all documents to the inspection in person or send it by mail (preferably registered with acknowledgment of receipt).”
I hope that the information will be useful to a wide range of people. Share this post with your readers, because I would like to hear more opinions, because the information may be inaccurate, and I personally did not live in these regions - write everything you know about transport tax benefits! Let's figure it out together =)
Residents of Karachay-Cherkessia are interested in: why in some regions owners of cars up to 70 hp. tax notices have not arrived, but in others, including the Karachay-Cherkess Republic, do you have to pay tax for these cars?
The answer is in Art. 356 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. Benefits that exempt owners of cars up to 70 hp from paying transport tax. may be established by the laws of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation for a certain tax period at the place of residence of the owners of such vehicles.
Information on the relevant laws of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and the conditions for applying tax benefits can be found in the section “Reference information on rates and benefits for property taxes” on the website of the Federal Tax Service of Russia.
Thus, the question of the grounds for tax exemption for such car owners falls within the competence of state authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.
