The government is in no hurry to encourage Russians to buy hybrids and electric vehicles
The idea of zeroing the transport tax rate for hybrid and electric cars is being discussed, but there are no decisions yet, Deputy Minister of Transport of the Russian Federation Nikolai Asaul told reporters. “Such proposals are made periodically, until such a decision has been made, since this will greatly affect the revenue base. Transport tax, as is known, is a source of replenishment of regional, first of all, budgets,” said the deputy minister, quoted by Interfax .
