Car tax is a compulsory payment for owners of vehicles, which is gratuitous. It is regional because its size and procedure for payment is regulated by the legislation of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

The tax on cars is calculated taking into account the following information:

1. Tax rate. It is established at the federal level, but the subjects of the Russian Federation have the right to increase it up to 10 times. The rate will depend on the engine size, the year of production of the car and the environmental class to which it belongs.
2. The tax base. Under the action of the tax get vehicles equipped with an engine. It is important to consider the number of horsepower, information about which is contained in the TCP.
3. Period of ownership. It is calculated in months, and is directly related to the calculation of car tax.
4. Coefficient of increase. Applies to cars whose value is more than 3 million rubles.

So, the formula for calculating the transport tax:

Tax amount = tax rate * tax base * (holding period / 12) * increase factor.
