Overview
- The Industry and Trade Ministry submitted a revised decree moving the start of the recalculated utilization fee to December 1, 2025.
- The postponement is intended to cover buyers facing delivery lags, including those who purchased cars over 160 horsepower after the draft was published.
- Owners who already paid the fee under current tariffs will not be affected, and new buyers of foreign-made cars are advised to account for the pending changes.
- The draft bases the fee on engine type and displacement with a progressive power coefficient, while preserving preferential terms for private imports up to 160 horsepower.
- First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov says subsidies will limit any impact on domestic car prices and notes increased talks with new foreign partners.
