Alcohol production license costs now 6 million rubles

In accordance with the new legislation, the cost of alcoholic licenses has grown on average twice, the newspaper RBC Daily recalls. For a license for the production, storage and supply of alcohol and strong alcohol, now you will have to pay 6 million rubles against 3 million last year, for a license for the production of wine - 500 thousand against 250 thousand rubles. The validity of licenses is five years.

But the license for the retail sale of alcohol is issued once a year and costs 40 thousand rubles. Previously, the size of the collection was determined by the regions, and it was an average of 20 thousand rubles.

Large producers of alcohol are not very worried about the rise in the cost of licenses. In Russian Alcohol, a license was issued last year, as well as at the inter -republican Winery.

The tax burden on the market increases, but this is unlikely to affect prices, experts say. “If 6 million rubles are counted for five years for each bottle of vodka, a penny is obtained,” commented Vadim Drobiz, head of the Center for Research of Federal and Regional Alcohol Markets.
