If you look into history, you can find that the problem of recycling began to worry humanity a long time ago. For example, Queen Elizabeth the First more than 400 years ago (1588) provided tax breaks for those people who collected old rags in London and transferred it for recycling for subsequent paper production. Although why go far - most recently, when people were more attached to the land, had at least personal plots, everyone clearly understood how unacceptable it is to pollute the land with harmful waste.
Today, almost all cities are surrounded by a dense ring of landfills. It is believed, for example, that every American generates about 2 kg of various garbage every day. In this case, the biggest problem is that landfills are filled with so-called e-garbage, which appears after the disposal of obsolete electronic devices. Soon, certain parts of modern cars will appear among him. Therefore, in many countries, and in Russia in particular, a recycling tax on cars has been introduced, which is a source of financing processing operations. It is designed to make the environmental situation better, because such a large item as a machine cannot be efficiently recycled by nature alone.
Utilization fee rates are different for different states. For example, in Europe they amount to about one hundred euros and are paid when purchasing a car. In our country, during the period 2010-2011, when carrying out the program, exchanges of old cars for new ones, the owner of an old car paid 3 thousand rubles for disposal and received a discount of 50 thousand rubles. to a new car.
Today, the rates of utilization fee are determined in the decree number 870, adopted in 2012 (August 30). To calculate the fee, information is taken about the owner of the vehicle, as well as the data of the car itself - make, release date, model, type of transport, VIN, engine displacement, engine number and type, vehicle weight in tons. For each particular machine, a base rate and a correction factor are set. For example, the rates of the utilization fee for cars imported for personal use, regardless of engine size, are set with a coefficient of 0.1 (0.15 for machines that have a production date more than 3 years ago) to the base rate, which is 20,000 rubles .
And for dump trucks with a gross weight of more than 350 tons, they have a coefficient of 37 (40) at a base rate of 150,000 rubles.
The car utilization fee is collected from the manufacturers (if they do not submit an application for safe disposal in the future to the Ministry of Industry and Trade), from those who enter the car and those who bought the car from a person who did not pay the fee. Immigrants, diplomatic missions, persons importing cars from the countries of the Customs Union , etc. are exempted from it. The rates of the utilization fee do not apply to certain types of cars. For example, for those that are over 30 years old, the original body, engine, frame are imported into our country for their own use.
