Tax on horsepower: what you need to know about it

The tax on horsepower, also calledtransport, represents an annual fee for the operation of a vehicle, the size of which depends on the capacity of the equipment. It refers to any devices that have an engine, whether it be a car, a bus, a motorcycle, a sailboat, a boat, a motor boat, a hydrocycle, a snowmobile or a mechanism moving by means of caterpillars. Tax is calculated depending on the capacity of the vehicle (a certain amount for each horsepower) and is mandatory for annual payment for each owner of motor vehicles.

At present, there are cars for almost everyone. The same applies to other equipment equipped with a gasoline or fuel engine. Russian law obliges everyone who has a vehicle to pay for it every year, but the tax is not the same for everyone - the more power an engine has, the more money you have to pay. To know the taxation is necessary for everyone who has a car or is going to buy it, because only so you can calculate the upcoming costs.

As already mentioned above, the amount that is mandatory for payment depends on the capacity of the equipment - the tax on horsepower was nicknamed so not in vain.

So, for today, rates are as follows (for convenience, here we will only talk about cars, the reader will be able to learn about other equipment from the Internet):

Cars, the taxation of 2013

Vehicle power (HP)	Tax rate (in rubles)
More than 250	150
225-250	75
200-225	60
175-200	45
150-175	38
125-150	30
100-125	20
up to 100	7

This amount is charged for each horsepower. To make the reader understand, several examples can be cited.

So, the owner of a car with a capacity of 300horsepower should annually give the state treasury 45 000 rubles, and a person whose car "gives out" only 70 horses will pay only 490 rubles. That's it, the engine power tax.

However, this table reflects data only for today, 2013. We must not forget that rates are changing all the time, and that's why it's recommended to follow the automobile news.

For example, the 2011 horsepower tax had very different data.

Cars, the taxation of 2011

Vehicle power (HP)	Tax rate (in rubles)
More than 250	100
200-250	75
150-200	50
100-150	35
45-100	25
up to 45	15

Well, next year the bet again promisesto change. In 2014, the tax on horsepower promises to grow by five rubles. It will remain unchanged only for cars with a capacity of 225 horses. But the government plans to introduce a new benefit - the tax is going to be canceled for owners of gas-powered machinery. The reason for this is the government's desire to support drivers trying to reduce pollution of the environment by exhaust gases. In addition, unlike gasoline, such fuel is a renewable resource and its use will significantly save natural oil reserves.

In addition to tax rates, it is desirable for all car owners to know about the conditions for exemption from taxation. The following citizens are exempt from payment:

1. Veterans of war.

2. Invalids of 1-2 groups.

3. One of the parents or guardians in a large family.

4. Owners of one car, the power of which does not exceed 70 horsepower.

There are other reasons for tax exemptions, which can be read by anyone willingly on the Internet.
