The Verkhovna Rada registered a draft law No. 7466-2, which provides for an increase in the cost of customs clearance of cars up to 8 times. Currently, the document submitted by the Servants of the People, headed by the People's Deputy Maryan Zablotsky, is being considered in the relevant committee..

The document proposes to increase the exclusivity coefficient for customs clearance of luxury cars to "

Such, according to the bill, can be considered cars that are subject to the payment of an annual transport tax.. The list of such vehicles is published annually by the Ministry of Economy.. In practice, these are vehicles under the age of 5 years worth up to UAH 2.437 million.

According to the authors of the document, an 8-fold increase in taxes on luxury cars partially compensates for the social injustice inherent in the proposed customs clearance formula..

In fact, the bill is an alternative to the Cabinet.

However, specialists from the Automotive Market Research Institute analyzed this bill and predicted that although the likelihood of the project being approved as a separate document is low, the proposed norm may be partially taken into account when considering the main bill in the committee..

Let us recall that the bill of the Cabinet of Ministers No. 7466 dated 15. 06. 2022 provides for the possibility of customs clearance of a car in a smartphone online, without the requirement to visit institutions and organizations. It will be enough to enter the VIN-code of the car and download copies of documents, and payments will be calculated automatically according to the established formula. The amount of a single payment will be affected only by the technical characteristics of the car. Certification becomes optional, you can also register the car in the "

Advantages: reduced bureaucracy, convenience and speed. Level playing field for business and predictability of payments. Elimination of corruption schemes for determining the customs value. Cancellation of the pension fund fee and excise tax on the import of electric vehicles.

Disadvantages: the tax calculation formula contains social injustice, when you have to pay 5-10% of the cost for importing new and more expensive cars, and more than 60% for importing older and cheaper cars. In addition, some provisions are contrary to the norms and requirements of EU legislation..

Risks: the law will be effective only in combination with a fair formula for calculating customs duties. If the accepted rates are high for the most popular segment of used cars (worth up to $8,000), the impact on the car market will be minimal, since import volumes will be insignificant..

Acceptance rate: high. The concept of customs clearance of a car in a smartphone has every chance of becoming a real mechanism. It is implemented by the Ministry of Digital Transformation, the system is supported by the President, which means that there is political will to adopt the bill.

In addition, there is a possibility of adoption of the draft law No. 7466-1 dated 30. 06. 2022. Initiators: Alexander Kovalchuk, Getmantsev Daniil.

The main changes concern the formula for calculating customs payments. The cost of customs clearance for individuals and legal entities is proposed to be different. So, for customs clearance of cars older than 3 years, firms will have to pay more.

Advantages: it is useful to clarify that the concept of customs value for a car is canceled until the end of 2027 or Ukraine's entry into the European Union. After all, it is with this norm that problems may arise in the process of European integration of Ukraine..

Disadvantages: different approach to the calculation of payments for legal and physical means creates social injustice and inequality of taxpayers. Most Ukrainians abroad buy cars worth up to $8,000, customs clearance of which will be cheaper for individuals. This will create an import scheme for the so-called " (This is when a large truck of expensive goods is allegedly transported by individuals at a rate per each. That is, 20 “jackets” involved in the scheme contribute to the duty-free transportation of a whole truckload of goods).

As you know, from July 1, the Verkhovna Rada returned duties and taxes on the import and customs clearance of cars. This was done due to the alleged abuse of the "

After the abolition of benefits for customs clearance of cars, the budget received 663 million hryvnias in two weeks. 5020 cars were delivered.

At the same time, after the abolition of free customs clearance, the Verkhovna Rada registered more than 10 draft "

In particular, the Servant of the People offers to return preferential customs clearance of a car no more than 2 million hryvnia and not for everyone..

It is proposed to release for the period of martial law and two years after its completion, cars for combatants (one car per person), as well as individuals and companies that have lost vehicles due to Russian aggression, in the amount of lost vehicles, and to limit the cost of transport.

In addition, vehicles for which preliminary customs declarations were submitted before July 1 will be temporarily exempted from customs payments for 30 days.. Benefits will apply to foreign cars, the cost of which does not exceed 10 thousand euros (except for cars originating from Russia or Belarus). That is, more expensive cars under the new law, if adopted, will not fall - they still have to be customs in full.
