The government decided on the rate of utilization of environmental data collection, which is introduced in relation to a wide range of consumer goods. For example, the collection of gadgets levied for processing in 4,5%
«Izvestia” acquainted with the first category of goods, which will introduce environmental recycling fee, provided adopted in December Law “On Production and Consumption Waste”. Environmental taxes will be charged on the basis of cost of goods – rates range from 1.5% to 4.5% (depending on the category). Suppliers can not yet assess how exactly they will have to raise prices after the introduction of the new collection.
According to the draft government decree, which prepared the Ministry of Natural Resources, the highest rate – 4.5% – the environmental tax will be imposed on manufacturers and importers All electrical devices, including computers, cell phones, photo and video equipment and household appliances. More specifically – under “equipment, computer, electronic and optical” in the project understood “including computers and peripherals, communications equipment, photo and video cameras, navigation devices, watches and other products.” Under the electrical equipment “mean” including batteries, incandescent lamps, household electrical appliances (refrigerators and freezers, washing machines, cookers, irons and electric kettles, electric motors, generators, transformers and other products) ».
In addition to electronics, the collection has spread into seven categories of goods: ‘Paper and paper products “(cardboard, forms, notebooks, wallpaper and so on.),” Rubber and plastic “(tires, tires, inner tubes, tubes and profiles Plastic / rubber, linoleum, packaging and so on.), “metallic mineral products” (glassware, mirrors, ceramics, glass, mirrors, etc.), “Oil lubricating oil”, “basic metals” (profiles, corners, wire , rails, etc.), “ready-made metal products, except machinery and equipment” (metalwork, tools, knives, metal, etc.), “Wood and products of wood and cork, except furniture; articles of straw and plaiting materials “(sleepers, beams, parquet, wooden containers and so on.). All of them received the collection rate 1,5%.
Environmental (recycling) collection – this additional fiscal burden to the operating since 1992 for negative impact on the environment (now applies to cars: 20 thousand. rubles to several hundred thousand, depending on the type of vehicle). Extended version of the collection under control RPN will be required to pay the manufacturers and importers in output or import it into the territory of the Russian Federation. RPN will be obliged to inform the taxpayers information about payment and indicate the account on their website. Lists of goods subject to a fee the government plans to complement every 3 years. Pay a fee, according to the materials Ministry of Natural Resources, will be required in 2015 to 15 October 2015 (for 9 months of 2015); in 2016 – before February 1, 2016 (October, November, December 2015); since 2017 – a year to 15 April of the year following the reporting period.
In the explanatory memorandum in connection with the calculation of rates of collecting the MEP refers to the experience of other countries. The Office notes that the fees for disposal necessary for the country’s transition to a “green economy».
«It is important to reduce the amount of waste filling the budget, harmonization of regulatory legal relations with OECD and WTO, reducing energy and resource consumption. The share of environmental taxes in the structure of tax revenues of 2008-2009 ranged from 4.3% in the US and Canada to 9-10% in Denmark, the Netherlands, Japan and Israel, “- said in a memorandum. Ministry of Natural Resources also cites the example of the introduction of recycling fees in CIS countries: Armenia rates range from 0.3% to 3% for 26 species of local and 29 species of imported products; Belarus – 0.3% (for PCs and laptops) to 3% (for mobile phones).
According to the Department of Information Technology of Moscow, compared with the August prices from September to November, an increase of electronics averaged 11%; Further, from November to December 2014, prices of electronics grew on average by 30%. PCs November and December rose 52.6%, the price of laptops rose by 47.7%, to smartphones – 12% on TVs – 50%.
– The increase in prices due to this new project is inevitable – suppliers will be forced to raise prices, – says Anton Guskov, Director of Public Relations Association of trading companies and manufacturers of consumer electronic and computer equipment, which includes all the major players in the market of household appliances (Phillips, IBM, HP, «Eldorado “” M. Video “, etc.). – The law, signed by the president, the rate should be charged based on the cost of disposing of the unit or product. The project is the Ministry of Environment, in turn, this law is contrary. He proposes to charge a percentage of the cost of the device, not the cost of disposal. For example, a refrigerator premium brand dispose of worth as much as a cheap and Russian.
To get away from paying tax, manufacturers or importers of the goods themselves must unite and finance the construction of the necessary infrastructure for recycling (ie inventories or IGC) otherwise they will have to pay tax, in December explained “Izvestia” the head of the state environmental supervision RPN Natalia Sokolova. Total amount of the budget from the collection of the tax in 2015 is planned at 30 billion rubles (in 2016 – 20 billion rubles, in 2017 – 14 billion rubles). Moreover, the Ministry expects 400 million in tax revenues from the creation of new jobs (scheduled annual increase of 10 thousand.). Thus, the ministry plans to pull out of the waste recycling industry losses – in 2013 they amounted to 1.32 billion rubles.
The total cost required to struggle with municipal solid waste, the state is estimated at 40 times the expected revenue from the collection – about 1.8 trillion rubles. Ministry of Natural Resources also points out that “a significant increase was inappropriate, as it will lead … to a significant increase in prices for goods and services for the population».
«With the development of recycling capacities annual revenues to the federal budget from environmental charge will be reduced” – predicts the ministry.
