Previously presented proposal of the government to increase tax on automobiles with the volume of 3 l. has been a subject of disputes and critics in mass media and social networks. Nur Otan, a parliament faction held a meeting on 4 October. Y. Dossayev, the ministry of economy and budget planning was invited to take participation in this meeting.
- Why does the government version of the law not include tax increase for expensive cars? We support the tax rate revision for transport vehicles with engine capacity of 3th -4 th. cubic cm and would like to propose: to increase a tax rate up to 130 MCI for automobiles with engine capacity of 4 th.-5 th. cubic cm, and to increase a tax rate up to 200 MCI for automobiles with engine capacity of more than5 th. cubic cm. In order to protect interests of ordinary people of our country, owners of automobiles which are not expensive and those who have second hand automobiles, we propose to applay all the new rates to automobiles bought on or after 1 January 2014. That is the automobiles previously bought should not be subject to the new rates,” N. Nigmatullin said.
