Legislative framework for transport tax
The basics of the transport tax are established in Chapter.
28 Tax Code of the Russian Federation. But being a regional tax, it is largely dependent on decisions made regarding it at the regional level. Regions are given the right to establish:
- Benefits.
Tax benefits are established in different forms. ConsultanPlus experts spoke in detail about all the varieties, and also suggested where to look for information in your region. Get trial access to K+ for free and go to the Ready-made solution.
- Rates with the possibility of increasing or decreasing them, splitting them, or linking them to the year of manufacture or the environmental class of the vehicle. There is a limit for bets on cars with a power of more than 150 hp. pp.: they change no more than 10 times compared to those given in the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. If a region has not established rates, those specified in the Tax Code of the Russian Federation are subject to application there.
- Procedure and deadlines for tax payment by legal entities.

Most regions of the Russian Federation have adopted corresponding laws. Each of them used their rights in their own way to clarify the procedure for applying transport tax, which is why there are significant differences in all 3 parameters in different regions. They are the largest in terms of bet values.
Important! Hint from ConsultantPlus If your region has not established its own rates, calculate the tax according to... (for more details, see K+).
From time to time, regions adjust their tax rates by amending the relevant laws. Changes can be of various kinds - from the introduction or cancellation of benefits to the replacement of rates (one, several or all existing ones).
Most regions of the Russian Federation adhere to the policy of maintaining rates. But changes in rates nevertheless occur.
Tables of transport tax rates for some regions in 2021, 2020 and 2021 related to passenger vehicles are given in the following sections of our article. They clearly reflect both the variety of bets and the changes that have occurred with the onset of 2021. Rates are indicated in rubles.
Regions with moderate transport taxes
Motorists in the Caucasus and Siberia also pay a relatively small transport tax. For example, in Chechnya, Dagestan, North Ossetia, Tomsk region, Khakassia, Tyva, Yakutia and Kemerovo, rates for low-power vehicles do not exceed 8 rubles, and for vehicles up to 150 horsepower they are no more than 15 rubles per force.

Increasing factor
Transport tax (2020) is calculated taking into account several characteristics, such as environmental class and date of issue. And when it comes to passenger cars, the calculations also use a so-called increasing factor, depending on the cost of the car. It is this coefficient, which greatly influences the 2021 transport tax, that must be taken into account. According to Federal Law No. 335-FZ dated November 27, 2017, when calculating the amount of the fee for passenger cars worth from 3 to 5 million rubles inclusive and not older than three years, a coefficient of 1.1 must be used.
Let us recall that previously three different coefficients were in effect:
- if the car was produced 2-3 years ago, the coefficient was 1.1;
- if the car is from 1 to 2 years old, the indicator is already 1.3;
- owners of cars less than 12 months old paid taking into account a coefficient of 1.5.
As you can see, the amendments do not allow for an increase in transport tax in 2021. On the contrary, some owners even benefit from them.

Example
In October 2021, Leonov, who lives in the Novosibirsk region, bought a Lada 21051 car. In September 2021, he received a notification from the Federal Tax Service to pay transport tax. How to calculate transport tax?
The initial data is presented in the table.
Power, hp | Duration of possession | The rate established for Novosibirsk and NSO in 2015-2016 (for vehicles with a capacity of up to 100 hp), rub. |
59 | Less than 1 year | 6 |
Solution Leonov needs to determine the category to which the transport belongs and the power. The information received must be compared with the rates in force in the Novosibirsk region in 2017. The calculation will be as follows: 59 × 6 × (3 / 12) = 88.5 rubles. Based on NSO Laws No. 280-OZ, No. 281-OZ, No. 370 and others, Leonov must pay transport tax for last year in the amount of 89 rubles.
This must be done no later than December 1, 2017. Also see “Deadline for payment of transport tax by individuals: a reminder for motorists.”

Information on rates and benefits for all property taxes in any region can be found on the Tax Service website - you need to select the type of tax, tax period and your region.
Let us remind you that for organizations and individuals who pay transport tax 2021, payment deadlines are different. Legal entities independently calculate the amounts. In some regions, organizations pay advance payments 3 times a year (for each quarter), and at the end of the period they pay up to the full amount, in others they pay once for the entire year. Specific deadlines are set by regional authorities.
As for citizens, payment of transport tax in 2020 is carried out on the basis of notifications that come from the Federal Tax Service. Based on Art. 363 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, the deadline for payment for owners - individuals - is December 1 of the year following the expired tax period.
Another point that owners should be aware of. The vehicle ownership period does not always coincide with the calendar year. Sometimes a car or truck will be repossessed for a shorter period of time, such as six months. In this case, you will have to pay less, since the final amount directly depends on the length of ownership of the vehicle in months. And you need to know that if you bought a car after the 15th of the month, then the amount of the fee will be calculated only from the next month, and if before the 15th, then from the month of purchase. For those who sold the car, a different rule applies: if the car is sold after the 15th, the former owner pays a fee for the whole month, if the car is sold before the 15th, you will not have to pay anything.
If the car is stolen, the owner also has the right not to pay for it (Article 358 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). At the same time, as the Federal Tax Service explained in Letter No. BS-4-21/ [email protected] , the owner must present a certificate of theft or other documents from law enforcement agencies. In addition, it is permissible to provide a certificate or a resolution to initiate a criminal case, as well as refer to information about the theft of a vehicle from court orders, rulings or decisions that have entered into force.
If the car was not found, and the criminal case regarding the theft was closed, the owner must contact the traffic police with an application to deregister the vehicle. Otherwise, he will have to pay for his car again, the Federal Tax Service clarified.
Calculation
TN is calculated according to the rules of Article 362 of the Tax Code and regional laws.
Formula to calculate the HP of a car based on horsepower:
sum = number of l. With. * rate * t/y (t – number of months of ownership, y – number of months in a year) * k (increasing factor).
Examples
Example 1.
Let's take the general rate for a car with a 100 hp engine. With.
If you own the car for 11 months out of a full year, the calculation will be as follows:
100 l. With. * 2.5 * (11/12) = 229.16 rubles.
Example 2.
Let's say you live in the Krasnoyarsk Territory and own a BMW X5 x Drive 30 d diesel 2993 cm3 (cost 4,750,000) with an engine power of 235 hp. With. (173 kW), year of manufacture 2021 (tax paid in 2019). Holding period is 4 months out of the taxable period (1 year).
The machine is expensive, which means you need to multiply the result by a multiplying factor:
- 1.1 – coefficient for a car worth 3-5 million (year of manufacture from 2 to 3 years).
- 1.3 – 3-5 million (year of production from 1 to 2 years).
- 1.5 – 3-5 million (less than a year).
- 2 – 5-10 million (less than 5 years).
- 3 – 10-15 million (less than 10 years).
- 3 – more than 15 million (less than 20 years).
The calculation of the fuel pump for a car based on horsepower and with a multiplying factor will be as follows:
235 (number of hp) * 51 (rate in the Krasnoyarsk Territory) * (4 months / 12 months) = 3595.5.
3595.5 * 1.3 (increasing factor) = 4674.15.
What online calculators are it convenient to calculate this on?
On the Internet you can find several calculators that will automatically calculate the transport tax on a car by region, horsepower and other parameters. You just need to enter some information about the car into the fields.
- Nalog.ru.
You need to enter:- year of issue;
number of months of vehicle ownership;
- type of vehicle;
- engine power;
- right to benefits (read about transport tax benefits here);
- region.

General characteristics of regional taxes
The key feature that characterizes this taxation group is the budget level. In other words, regional taxes and fees include all budget payments that are credited directly to the treasury of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation (region, autonomous district, federal city).
That is, regional taxes and fees are the main revenue part of the region’s budget. These proceeds are redirected to the implementation of socially significant programs and events. Also, some part of the funds received may be redirected to the treasury of the municipality in the form of subsidies, subventions and other transfers.
It is important to note that all regional taxes are established at the federal level, but the specifics of their application are detailed by the legislators of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Let's explain in simple words. Tax obligations at all levels are enshrined in the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. That is, the general rules for applying taxation are outlined at the federal level. For example, the maximum rates, calculation procedure, rules for applying deductions and benefits are approved by the Government of the Russian Federation. But categories of taxpayers, privileges and benefits for regional taxes are established and canceled at the level of a specific subject of Russia. For example, the regional government can introduce additional benefits for certain fees, introduce exemptions for certain categories of taxpayers, and reduce or increase the tax rate several times.
