Car utilisation fees to change in Belarus starting today

4 февраля 2016

In accordance with a decree by the Council of Ministers, which is due to come into force today, car utilisation fees for individuals will see more than an eight-fold increase. The decision was made under the law of the Union State, as well as to equalise the position of individuals and car dealers. The tax will not depend on the country from which vehicle is imported.

Those importing a car for personal use will have to pay about 5 million rubles for vehicles not older than three years and more than 7 million for cars over three years old. The tax is to be paid in Belarusian rubles.
