Calculation of customs payments. What cars are profitable to import under the new law Draft auto

On August 21, 2019, a round table was held and was attended by:
- new head of customs Maxim Nefedov link FB
- newly elected people's deputy Vladislav Krikliy
- Public organizations EURO AUTO SILA, etc.
- Representative of the President's Office (Ruslan Ryaboshapka),
- representatives of the Ministry of Economics
- A group of people's deputies who will represent the committees for the development and implementation of new rules for customs clearance.

How the round table ended

The round table on customs clearance for Eurobills ended, one might say, not particularly effectively, namely:

• in theory, customs can fine you, but technically not yet
• the police will be able to stop you only for a definitive reason, but they will not be able to check the timing or legality of the car's arrival at a foreign registration or fine
• the authorities promised when the new Verkhovna Rada will be released and immediately, as urgent laws will be adopted on the postponement of fines for eurobills
• during this transition period will be developed new law or modified 8487

What will be the new law on customs clearance

After the round table, new rhetoric came from the new government:

• in theory they will be able to possibly adopt a new law where there will be a flat tax rate depending on the year or car and the rate can start from 500 euros, but this option is unlikely
• the second option is more realistic, according to the authorities, they can reduce taxes and most likely they want to amend law 8487 and it is there that either the excise tax itself or the age coefficient can be removed and then taxes will be from 33% to 35%

While we live according to the old law and who has euro plates from August 22, it is better to leave a car in the garage and wait for the law to be extended.

What is the reaction of the authorities to EUROBLES

1. BORDER SERVICE
They operate in a regular mode, without any changes for the pass of EURONOMERS.
2. CUSTOMS
Apply penalties, which are spelled out in law 8488, from UAH 8500 to UAH 170,000, but only to those who will cross the border, and without a difference, on expired cars or without it.
Letters of happiness to those who have EUROBLES, but do not travel, will not be sent.
Those who have such a car burned out, stolen or cannot be restored after an accident, it is better to arm themselves with a serious package of documents so that the customs office would be able to confirm the force majeure circumstances and did not impose sanctions on the owner of the euro badge.
3. Police
According to the additions to Art. 35 of the Law "On Police", the police received a reason to stop EUROBLES in order to check the legality of his stay.
If it is discovered that the car is expired or is driven by a person, it was imported - a fine of 8500 UAH is provided. If they re-catch -17000 UAH and the confiscation of the car, plus deprivation of rights for a year
However, due to the fact that until the customs and police bases are merged, such fines will not be imposed. The maximum is a stop, warnings, clarifications and wishes of a happy journey.
If the car is cleared by customs, but has not yet been registered (on transit numbers), they are fined 170 UAH. Everything else is speculation or illegal actions.
4. POSITION OF AUTHORITY
The President introduced urgent bill 10462 on the postponement of the said sanctions until November 22.
During this time, the Office of the President, together with the working group, should work out a law on customs clearance.

Customs clearance of cars Euro 4, Euro 3 and below.

In the Rada on November 8, 2018, they voted for the law on customs clearance of eurobills, 250 deputies said yes to the new, but rather controversial, customs clearance of cars with foreign registration. And as the months of new customs clearance showed, this law did not solve the problem of customs clearance for Eurobills, since after the end of the grace period in customs clearance, Eurobills hung for a long pause, except for 10 volunteers per month who, in despair, are clearing their Eurobills at space rates.
This is not to say that taxes on euro plates are adequate, since on a car the cost of 1000 euros of taxes even in the transitional period (90 days) you had to pay at least 1500 euros, and if you have a large engine volume (from 3.5 diesel and from 3 liters gasoline), then taxes will definitely be too heavy.

Excise duty is calculated in euro plates according to the coefficients.

According to bill 8487, there are several basic factors.
In the first 90 days, the so-called transition period, there was a 50% discount only on excise duty one of the three taxes, the next 90 days there will be no discount.
We also have coefficients:

• excise duty price coefficient for diesel 75 euros for engines up to 3500 cubic meters. cm and more, which is 150 euros, and for gasoline up to 3000 cc. - 50 euros, more than 3000 cc - 100 euro,
• car age coefficient (measured in years),
• engine displacement (measured in liters),
• it is also possible that there will be a special coefficient for cars over 15 years old in the amount of the base rate of 15.

Example of calculating excise duty only.
Petrol:
We multiply 50 euros by the age of the car 10 years old and by the volume of 1.6 = 800 euros of excise tax.
Diesel:
We multiply 75 euros by the age of the car 10 years and by the volume of 1.6 = 1200 euros of excise tax.
As we wrote, in addition to the excise tax, there is also a duty and VAT, and now let's calculate the entire amount of taxes on a car.
For example, a car with a 1.6 diesel engine, which is 10 years old and costs 3,000 euros, will be calculated using the following formula:
➡ 10% duty - from 3000 euros = 300 euros
➡ excise tax 75 multiplied by 10 years and multiplied by 1, 6 = 1200 (50% discount - 600 euros in the first 90 days)
➡ VAT (3000 + 300 + 1200)% 20 = 900 euros
Total taxes - 2,400 euros.
If we apply a 50% discount on excise tax, then taxes will be 1680 EURO.
If you need to calculate the amount of taxes for customs clearance of a car according to the law of Eurobills, then we have made a new one for you
According to the new formula for cars over 15 years old, we will get not very interesting figures, since the coefficients were left at the same level and only if the car is older than 15, the coefficient remains the same, everything is also 15. For example, we calculate a car with the following parameters: 2000 with volume 2.0 diesel and cost 1000 euros.
➡ 10% duty - from 1000 euros = 100 euros
➡ excise of the base rate 75 multiplied by 2 and the base rate for age 15 = 2250 euros (50% discount - 1125 euros in the first 90 days)
➡ VAT (1000 + 100 +2250)% 20 = 670 euros
Total taxes - 3188 euros.
If we apply a 50% discount on excise tax, then taxes will be 1670 EURO.
And this is the foundation for the basic rates (50, 75 euros) of excise tax under the law of Eurobels. This is just a mockery of common sense, the longer the problem with euro plates is not solved, the more difficult our ecology will be. Here is a small digression on ecology in Ukraine: with ecology everything is very normal, how did you all see the new priuses from our cops and how do you think we got them? We got these eco-friendly cars thanks to Japan, which bought a part of the harmful emissions into the atmosphere from Ukraine by barter, thanks to which we got this “ecological miracle”.
Changes that were rejected by voting in the Verkhovna Rada of 11/08/18

• extension of the proposed new excise tax model to all vehicles;
• narrowing the VAT tax base for goods that are introduced by excluding duties and excise from the price of the goods (important: excise and duty will not be removed as a tax, they will simply be removed from the VAT deduction base, which will not greatly reduce space tax rates);
• VAT exemption for vehicles imported new and used until 2019 (inclusive), except for vehicles originating from a country recognized by the occupying state, as well as those that have been produced for more than 10 years at the time of import;
• abolition of excise duty on trucks, bodies and motorcycles;
• application of a 50% excise tax discount for combatants (YUZHANINA ARGUMENTED THIS TO THAT THERE IS A POWER OF ATTORNEY IN UKRAINE AND THEREFORE WILL NOT CONTROL WHO IS THE REAL OWNER OF THESE CARS);
• replacement of the age coefficient with the ECO coefficient, that is, the conformity of the car with the European environmental standard and establishing it in absolute values;
• application to the age coefficient when calculating a reduction coefficient of 0.7 or even excluding it from the formula;
• continuation until 2020 (inclusive) VAT exemption for vehicles equipped with electric motors;
• taxation of hybrid vehicles at the excise rate for electric vehicles.

Now we can move from good news to bad news, namely, to fines for the delayed stay of a car at a foreign registration in Ukraine.

What will be the control and new fines under the law on customs clearance of cars 8488?

Now, a non-resident will be able to relatively freely bring in only one euroblack, and the second only after paying a financial guarantee. The amount of the guarantee must be equal to the amount of customs payments for the car.
Also, a person who brought a car to Ukraine in transit or temporary import mode cannot disassemble or give the car for commercial use. For example, if the police record the use of a non-cleared car in a taxi, then the violator will be fined UAH 8,500, and if the violation is re-recorded, the fine will be UAH 170,000. and deprivation of rights for a year, as well as confiscation of a car at the expense of the offender.


Also, change the amounts of fines for exceeding the period of stay in the customs territory of Ukraine in transit mode and in temporary import mode.

For those who nevertheless decided to clear a car through customs in 2019, the question immediately arises - from which country is it better to clear a car through customs?

As a rule, a car enthusiast has 2 choices: a car from the USA or a car from Europe. Let's take a quick look at these possibilities.
If your budget is up to $ 6,000, then this is definitely Europe, and if your budget is larger, then, of course, it is better to bring a car from America, since in America the prices for a car are much lower than in Europe. Basically, broken cars float from the States, since the cost of broken cars is very attractive and the amount of taxes is also small.
If you are interested in a car from the USA, then read our buying instructions and. There you will find detailed instructions from choosing a car in America to registering it already in Ukraine.
Also, we have not bypassed amateurs European cars and wrote a buying guide and. I am sure that on the entire Ukrainian Internet you will not find detailed articles on the topic of cars from Europe and cars from the USA with 9000 and 12000 characters without spaces.

So if you thought about the issue of customs clearance of a car, then now is the time to realize your desires.

But there are a couple of points to consider. The car must comply with an environmental standard of at least Euro 2.
Also, if you do not have time to choose a car or go to Europe for it, we can help you not only clear the car through customs, but also drive the car you like from Europe to order.

What changes in the law on customs clearance await motorists in 2019?

A significant change in the legislation on customs clearance of electric vehicles in Ukraine, according to the new law on electric vehicles, you pay an excise tax of 1 euro for one kW / hour, and if your documents are incorrectly drawn up and you cannot prove your country of origin, then you pay a fee.

Raising the retirement age, budget maneuvers ... Do you think these are all the ways to replenish the treasury that Russian officials have come up with recently? Of course not! The latest idea to replenish the budget by 20 billion rubles a year belongs to the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia, which decided to make that kind of money in the used car market. Officials suggested introducing the institute of car dealers and conducting all transactions of purchase and sale of used cars exclusively through them.

What happened?

The Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia announced the creation of auctions for the sale and purchase of used cars. The deals will be carried out by licensed and accredited dealers, and the sale of cars from hand to hand will be completely prohibited. As the journalists found out, officials are already developing a relevant bill and will soon submit it to the public and colleagues from the Cabinet. The initiative is aimed at bringing the used car market out of the shadows in order to replenish the budget. The profit that officials want to get from their venture at the start of the project is estimated at at least 20 billion rubles a year. Where will this money come from?

Did you sell your car? Share with your budget and dealer!

As the journalists of the Izvestia newspaper were told in the NTI Avtonet, under whose control the Ministry of Industry and Trade is going to implement its project, any transaction carried out through new system, will be subject to automatic taxation. The company estimates the total turnover of the used car market in Russia at 3 trillion rubles per year. Since there are no effective tools to control the payment of taxes in this case, many transactions go through "all" - sellers do not pay taxes.

After the transfer of all transactions to the auto auction platform, the budget will be able to receive all due taxes and deductions. Of course, the services of the dealers themselves will also not be free for car owners. After all, such specialists will have a state certificate to participate in the auction. In fact, these will be intermediaries between sellers and buyers, and motorists will not be able to do without their services. If this procedure is approved, it will be possible to register the car with the traffic police only if there are relevant documents from dealers.

The future operator of the auto-auction industry platform NTI "Avtonet" commented on the situation as follows:

The whole initiative of this project comes down to bringing new services to the market. And auto auction activity in this context turns out to be a fundamentally new product, we are talking about secondary market car sales. If in 2017 the volume of the used car market amounted to about 3 trillion rubles, then the expected potential tax revenues will amount to 20 billion rubles per year. Among the pluses: the transition of a significant volume of sales of used cars from a shadow zone to a transparent one, an improvement in the environmental situation due to control over the technical condition of the cars sold, a decrease in the number of accidents and fatal accidents due to control of the level of safety of equipment.

Deal without the right to choose

The Ministry of Industry and Trade told reporters that while there is no final version of the bill, the general scheme of the auto auction industry is being worked out. Officials want to oblige citizens to use a special electronic auction platform (or several such platforms), through which the sale of cars to dealers will take place. After that, anyone can buy a used car only from a dealer. There will be no direct transactions between owners and buyers.

True, officials are confident that they are on guard for the interests of citizens, and not only want to make money on a used car. Among the advantages, in particular, are named:

• transparent market price for the buyer;
• a fair estimate of the residual value for the seller;
• convenient and safe deal with official dealer instead of a risky sale or purchase with an unknown citizen.

Well, as you know, you have to pay for everything good. True, experts already fear that the innovation will kill competition and create a state monopoly on the used car market.

Back to the past or the Japanese experience

It turns out that the idea of ​​officials was pushed by Japan. In March, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Alexander Morozov, together with a Russian delegation, visited the Land of the Rising Sun, where he got acquainted with the experience of organizing car auctions. As a result, the parties agreed on further cooperation with the aim of "further borrowing the best foreign practices in this area."

In Japan, you can sell a used car only through a special auction. The owner of the car has the right to establish at the beginning of the auction the price limit corresponding to the market price. But trading starts with a minimum amount. The car can only be purchased by Japanese dealers who have paid the annual auction fee. Dealers raise the price until one of them wins. If the owner does not like the price, he has the right to refuse the deal.

It is noteworthy that this system is also not new to Russia. In the USSR, cars were bought and sold through specialized second-hand shops, which also acted as intermediaries. Without a certificate from such a store, the car could not be registered. Enterprising merchants set up a real business on this. Since the clearance through the store took a long time and only a certain number of transactions were allowed per day, certificates were simply sold. The cost was calculated as a percentage of the price of the car and was quite substantial.

Experts note that state regulation of the secondary car market is long overdue, but it is necessary to create transparent conditions for all parties. And also to develop such a mechanism that will give citizens the right to choose and will not significantly affect the cost of cars.

On the official Internet portal of legal information on September 26, 2018, the final version of Order No. 399 of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was published "On approval of the Rules for state registration of motor vehicles and trailers to them in the State Security Inspectorate road traffic…» , which replaces the registration rules approved by order no. 1001 ten years ago.

The order will enter into force on October 6 this year, thereby putting on the shelf the outdated registration rules in force since 2008. It should be noted that the first attempt to make global updates to the registration actions failed, the first version of the order remained on paper due to the fact that during its consideration in the legislation many nuances have changed, which the document did not take into account. Therefore, it was necessary to make adjustments and work out the second version of the order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. We have already written about it in detail on the pages of our website:

Today, on the eve of the October changes in vehicle registration in the country, we decided to go through the main theses of an important regulatory draft order that is about to become law for motorists for many years to come.

Source: YouTube channel Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia

Despite the vastness of the document, in which all the subtleties of registration of auto and motor vehicles, as well as trailers for them, are described in detail on 27 pages in a new way, the main updates can be grouped in the following areas:

Change in registration actions for installing a new engine on a car;

Changing the storage time of license plates;

Yes, too, nothing bad. When selling a car for a new owner, no additional documents for the engine will also be needed. Information about the new motor is entered into the TCP, if there are no questions. What questions may the inspector have? For example, the inspector will definitely check:

if there is an engine on the wanted list;

whether its marking (VIN) has been changed;

whether the design of the car has changed (for example, if you install a more powerful power unit rather than identical, this would already be considered a design change.)

How long can you keep your license plate under the new vehicle registration rules?

Everything here is simple and transparent. Under the new rules, it will be up to 360 days. According to current regulations, when changing a car, a driver can retain a license plate for 180 days. *

* The term will be automatically extended for those car owners who keep the number in the traffic police at the time the order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs comes into force.

Introduction of electronic vehicle passports (EPTS) into circulation

Despite the fact that the "electrification" of the PTS is proceeding with a creak, soon the EPTS will begin to be used everywhere. And then the Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (399) arrived in time, and everything was laid out on the shelves in it.

How do I get an EPTS?

When buying a new car from a dealer (when importing a car from abroad), an electronic vehicle passport will be automatically issued for it. From November 1, 2019, the issuance of traditional paper PTSs will be discontinued.

Do I need to change the old paper TCP for a new electronic one?

Not. Although, if desired, a voluntary replacement for the electronic version is provided.

What if the car belongs to several owners? What will be the sequence of actions now? How to share a car?

Now you can go in two ways:

First- all owners come to the traffic police and write a statement (in simple written form) about their consent to register the car to one of the heirs.

Second way(if a collective visit to the traffic police is impossible) - a notarized consent of the owners (heirs or partners) to register the car for one of them is drawn up. Upon arrival at the traffic police, he will show a documented consent and register the car for himself.

No disputes and abuse between relatives. This is also settled.

Moreover, the same algorithm of actions is also applicable to owners who are not relatives. For example, a situation when a car was bought by a joint.

How to register a car without a passport?

Indeed, now it is possible, which is spelled out in the order. The new order involves the registration of a car with a temporary identity card. A temporary identity card is a document (form 2P) temporarily issued for the period of issuing a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation with a validity period of 2 months and the possibility of extension. In other words, an analogue of a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation, issued in exchange for a lost or stolen identity card.

Question: The car passed the examination in the traffic police, that it is not a criminal one, will it be necessary to pass it again when buying such a car?

The headache of thousands and thousands of law-abiding car owners who bought a "controversial" car (there was a non-factory welding of the area around the VIN number, the identification number is rusted, one or more VIN digits are not readable) will become a thing of the past from October this year.

Similar conclusions and data from examinations, photographs of documents and controversial elements of the car will be entered into a single Federal information system Traffic police. Thus, having a common database throughout the country, the new car owner will not need to undergo a lengthy examination, during which the car will be unavailable to the owner. It will be enough for the inspector to turn to the computer base.

Both buying and selling a car is a rather serious process. Both of these events are closely related - one buys, the other sells. And, unfortunately, there are enough scammers in the automotive market, the danger of running into them exists not only for the buyer, but also for the seller. And with the introduction of new rules for the transfer of ownership of a car, which simplified this procedure, it should be paid to the sale of cars Special attention... Today we will talk about how to properly and safely sell a car according to the new rules.

Selling a car is usually slow. First you need to find "your" buyer. Before putting up a car for sale, whether it is an Internet site or car market, produce the so-called pre-sale preparation, which includes minor repairs, replacement of consumables, painting parts, getting rid of rust stains, washing the body and engine, cleaning the interior, etc.

In addition, it is necessary to prepare and morally - to find the official reason for the sale. In any case, the buyer will be interested in why the car is being sold, and it is necessary to find an answer that does not raise any special suspicions. Although here it all depends on the buyer - someone is interested in appearance, and someone will carefully listen to the engine noise. During the sale process, many times you will have to show the car to no avail and go to the diagnostics at the expense of a potential buyer.

But when a real buyer who is really ready to buy a car has been found, and the selling price has been specifically determined and agreed upon by both parties, it is time to deal with the legal side of the issue, in which, just the same, legislative changes have been made. The officials decided to simplify the purchase and sale procedure for motorists by reducing bureaucratic delays. Now, when selling a car, it is not necessary to deregister it, which is an undoubted advantage for the seller... But at the same time, the risks of the buyer increase, who can discover some problems with the car only at the moment when he puts it on record with the nearest traffic police, which means that the property is already his property, and these problems cannot be avoided. According to a simplified scheme for selling a car, all actions with registration are performed only by the buyer(and he now has 10 whole days for this) - the seller has absolutely nothing to do with it. The seller's business is only to find this buyer, make a deal with him, get money and hand over documents and keys. The rest of the actions fall on the shoulders of the acquiring side. Thus, when selling a car, it is no longer required to deregister it, it is only necessary to conclude a legally competent agreement on its sale.

​

The car sale and purchase agreement is the most important legal document that defines the relationship between the seller and the buyer regarding the vehicle, and on the basis of which the ownership is transferred from one owner to another. Many people use outdated contract forms, while according to the new rules, its form should be slightly changed. If you use old forms, you can draw up a contract incorrectly, then it simply loses its legal force, and this is fraught with troubles and problems for both the buyer and the seller.

The agreement is drawn up between the parties in a simple written / printed form, in duplicate. Neither a notary, nor anywhere else, does not need to certify such a document.

The contract for the sale of a car under the new rules specifies:

• The locality where the contract is drawn up, the date of its drawing up.
• Data of the parties, their passport data, registration data.
• Subject of purchase and sale: the car itself, where it is indicated full specifications, according to the vehicle passport (model name, engine, body and chassis numbers, color, year of manufacture, l / s, kW, carrying capacity, etc.)
• Vehicle identification numbers and passport data.
• Full cost car, it is indicated in numbers and words.
• The state number and data of the car registration certificate can be entered as a separate clause in the contract at the request of the seller or the buyer, but are not mandatory. Requirement in mandatory it is not legal to indicate these data in the contract by the traffic police inspectors who process the re-registration of the vehicle.

When drawing up a contract, it is important to be guided by the principle of completeness of information; it must be exhaustive and not allowing any interpretation.

As for the physical execution of the purchase and sale agreement, its approximate form can be downloaded just below in this article. Most often, they leave the form as it is, just fill in the necessary lines. But you can download the form in a format where there is editing, and add certain important and significant points. As a rule, one of the parties will arrange the forms. As a tip: having downloaded the form, it is best to fill it out immediately, on a computer, and completely - on one side and on the other. Different filling of the contract is not allowed, it can be filled in:

• On a computer (fully printed).
• By hand (filling in the data in the left lines with a ballpoint, capillary blue pen, filling in a color other than blue (for example, black, red) is not allowed).

You need to fill out the document either in the first or second way. That is, you cannot, for example, print the data of one side on a computer, bring it to the other side, and she, in turn, will fill in her data by hand. It shouldn't be like that. It is best to make the agreement in full in printed form, where only the signatures will be affixed with a pen. If the lines of the agreement are filled in by hand, then it is necessary to start writing from the very beginning of the line, and put a dash at the end in order to exclude any "additions" by unscrupulous parties. Also, when filling out a document with a pen, no blots and "clerical errors" are allowed.

We draw up an act of acceptance and transfer of the vehicle

It is also recommended to draw up an act of acceptance and transfer of the car between the parties, where the data of the seller (transmitting party) and the buyer (receiving party), vehicle identification data are duplicated, and the place ( locality) and date of transmission. It is also important to indicate in the act the fact of transfer of documents for the car and keys from it to the buyer. Both parties sign this act, in duplicate, for the seller it is a confirmation document that he really transferred the property along with the keys and documents, and did not just take money for the car. This action will protect the seller in the event of unreasonable claims being presented to him.

Of course, you can do without the act of transferring the object of sale. But then such clauses should be entered into the purchase and sale agreement itself, where lines like "the car handed over" and "the car took over" will appear separately. It is also advisable to include a clause stating that new owner received a set of keys and documents. There are enough fraudsters on the part of buyers, so it is better to secure yourself with such clauses in the contract, or with a separate act. Ideally, you can also invite witnesses to the transfer of the car, who are not interested in this transaction.

You should take care of the sale and the TCP. Taking care of the compliance of this document with the rules falls entirely on the shoulders of the seller, as on the actual owner of the car. The most important thing before the direct sale and conclusion of the contract is to make sure that there is enough space in the vehicle's passport to make another entry indicating a change in the owner of the car. If there is no place, and, therefore, it will be impossible to make this entry, then the traffic police will refuse to re-register the car to a new person. Only the owner can make a new passport for the car, and the previous owner is the owner before re-registration, even if a sale agreement is signed and the object is directly transferred to the new owner. If the traffic police refuse to register the buyer who purchased the property, the latter will still be forced to contact the seller to make a new title. So these problems cannot be avoided. Therefore, the place in the vehicle passport should be taken care of in advance. If not, apply for a new one. If there is, then there is nothing to worry about.

If the seller or buyer is a third party

There are also some special cases of buying and selling a car. These are cases where the buyer or seller is only a third party in the transaction. That is, either one or the other (and maybe both) are acting on behalf of someone else.

In this case, the presence of such a document as a power of attorney is required. And not just a power of attorney, but a notarized one. If the seller of the car is not its owner, then you should take care of issuing a power of attorney in advance, where the real owner will give the person the right to make any legal transactions on his behalf with vehicle including its sale. The owner of the property must personally issue such a document with a notary. If the vehicle's passport contains one full name, and the seller's passport contains another, then, in the absence of such a power of attorney, the sale transaction will be considered invalid.

The buyer, who subsequently will not be the owner of the car, should also acquire a power of attorney from the future owner, on whose behalf he acts. The full name of the buyer is entered into the purchase and sale agreement on the part of the buyer, but in the passport of the vehicle - the full name of the new owner of the car, on which it will be registered.

Is it profitable or not? After reducing the excise tax on the import of used cars from other countries, this issue is very actively discussed by motorists and auto business specialists.

The adoption of bill No. 3251, which lowers excise taxes on the import of used cars, very much aroused the automotive community. Auto business professionals began to actively discuss how the rate cut would turn out to be for the Ukrainian car market, and ordinary people surf European auto sites in search of a suitable car.

Bets and Limits

The new law establishes the following rates of excise duty:

For vehicles with an engine up to 1,000 cc. cm excise rates are reduced to: 0.102 euros per 1 cubic cm (the current rate is 1.09-1.44 euros, depending on the year of manufacture of the car);

With an engine up to 1,500 cc - € 0.063 (now € 1.37-1.76);

With an engine up to 2,200 cc - € 0.267 (now € 1.64-2.44);

With an engine up to 3,000 cc up to € 0.276 (now € 2.21-4.99);

With an engine over 3,000 cc - 2.209 euros (now 3.33-4.99 euros).

As you can see, the excise tax is really significantly reduced, for example, for customs clearance of a car with an engine volume of 2 liters. the excise tax will be 534 euros instead of 4,882 euros.

However, there are some restrictions in the law, which are designed to prevent speculation on the part of "gray" auto businessmen. In order to be able to use the "freebie", you need the car to match environmental standards"Euro-5" was produced after 2010 (inclusive) and was not released on the territory of a country recognized as an occupying state or an aggressor state in relation to Ukraine (read - Russia).

You also need to remember that only one car can be delivered within 365 days. If the owner wants to sell the car during this period, the government will have to pay the difference between the new and old tariffs.

Another important limitation is that the law is in effect until the end of 2018, so there is not much time left for “ferrying”.

Is it profitable or not?

Despite the fact that the excise tax is indeed reduced in some cases by tens of times, the benefit from buying a car “from there” after calculations and comparisons is not so significant. In addition to all official payments, the buyer must also take into account the payment for the services of "ferrymen", that is, people who will help find and check the car and deliver the car from the seller's site to the border. And some dealers for 5-10% of the cost of the car will also deal with the registration of all documents at the customs and in the service centers of the traffic police.

If you are going to search for, drive and register a car on your own, then you will need money to stay abroad for several days while you choose a car. If you go by car, add the cost of gasoline for your car and the one you are going to buy, and money for the accommodation of a partner who will lead one of the cars on the way back to Ukraine.

The "ferrymen" interviewed by us estimate their services for the selection of a car at European sites and its delivery to the border at 1000 US dollars, if the process does not take longer than 5 days. Usually this period is enough to find the car the customer needs and deliver it to the border.

Entertaining math

For example, let's take three cars of different classes and calculate whether their purchase abroad has now become more profitable than in Ukraine.

Let's start small, in the truest sense of the word, a little car - Smart ForTwo, especially since now these machines are gaining popularity due to their economy and small size.

On the website mobile.de we will choose a car that suits us: year of production after 2010, gasoline, volume - up to 1 liter, no damage.

To calculate all the necessary payments, you can use the customs clearance calculator "in a new way" on one of the automotive sites.

As you can see, in addition to customs payments, you also need to pay 111 euros to the pension fund. We also add to this the necessary payments to the traffic police for registering a car - approximately 720 UAH. and $ 800 for a ferryman (if the buyer's requirements for a car are clearly formulated, then a discount can be made for driving such a car).

After recalculation in hryvnia, we get the final cost of the car "on the numbers" 148 232 hry.

To understand the benefits of a purchase, let's look at the prices for customs cleared Smart ForTwo on a popular internet site in Ukraine:

The average purchase price (we are considering the cheapest offers) will amount to UAH 188 thousand. Add to this the registration with the traffic police and a 3% payment to the pension fund - the total amount will be UAH 194,360, and the difference between Smart from the German site and from Ukraine is UAH 46,128. (1647 euros), that is, half of its price "there".

Without a doubt, buying such a car in Europe is much more profitable than in Ukraine.

The second candidate for the acquisition is the popular in our country Fabia c diesel engine volume of 1.6 liters.

Calculations show that a ready-to-use car will cost the buyer 191 480 hry., and the Ukrainian offers of such cars start from UAH 221 343, however, in our sale diesel Fabia of 2010 can be found only with a 1.4-liter engine.

After registration and all fees, a car bought in Ukraine will cost at least UAH 228 703. The difference will be UAH 37,223. (1329 euros). In this case, the benefit is slightly less, but nevertheless, it is quite significant.

And if more expensive?

The third candidate is the classics of the premium segment, Bmw x5 from gasoline engine volume of 3 liters.

"Used" premium crossover from Germany will cost the new owner 940 200 UAH In the case of a purchase in Ukraine, you can count on the minimum cost of UAH 833 405.

But in this case, the difference is in the opposite direction. German variant purchases are more expensive than Ukrainian ones by UAH 106,795. (3814 euros)! Although, under the new law, customs clearance of such a car will be almost 7,000 euros cheaper, nevertheless, in Ukraine, you can find offers much more profitable.

To buy or not to buy?

It is difficult to draw an unambiguous conclusion. If you are going to buy a budget car with a small engine displacement, then the savings in relation to its price will be quite significant. If your desires and capabilities lean towards the premium segment, then you should carefully weigh the pros and cons and first of all carefully consider all offers from Ukrainian sellers.

Also, do not forget about the very process of importing a car to Ukraine. If you decide to use the services of an intermediary, try to find a person who has already helped your acquaintances or friends in this kind of business. Of course, you can try your luck and go on a trip for a car on your own - this way you can better control all expenses and check the condition of the car that you liked.

What will happen to car prices in Ukraine?

Despite the fears of representatives of the Ukrainian auto business and car owners who were going to sell their personal cars, used prices will not go down in the near future. First, as we have seen when comparing prices, only a certain segment of cars - inexpensive and with a small engine capacity - can get cheaper. Secondly, and this main argument, the new owners will be able to sell the imported cars only in a year, so in the near future the cars will definitely not get cheaper.
