'Double' Surprise for Road-Users

The Minister of Finance told about a "road tax".

No fines will be covered by failure to pay for the permit to participate in the road traffic. But it will be sanctioned - it is offered to pay the fee at double rate.

Minister of Finance of Belarus Maksim Yermalovich stated that on Belarus 1 TV channel.

He says that the "road tax" will not be considered as a tax, "it will be the payment for the permit to participate in the road traffic"; it will not be tied to the MOT Test.

- It completely excludes any fines for failure to pay this fee. However, non-payment involves liability and sanctions.

Maksim Yermalovich informs that the minimum payment period is one month. A citizen should use the United Payment and Information Space and then gets the right to drive a vehicle, that is, to use the road infrastructure. The amount of the fee will be calculated automatically by the system and will be based on data about a vehicle. Corresponding structures and all state bodies involved will receive the payment information, auto.tut.by informs.

- The control will be exercised. If some facts of non-payment are revealed, the fee will be paid at double rate - as for an individual. The control system remains and provides a completely new order, new level, including the use of photographic and video evidence, which control over vehicles without the paid fee.

It will be recalled that it's the fourth year when Belarusians pay fee for the permit to participate in the road traffic. It is based on weight of a vehicle and does not depend on brand or manufacture year. It is paid before the MOT Test. In this regard many drivers ignore the MOT Test despite fines.

In this regard, the principle "the more you drive, the more you pay" is being developed. The sum of the state fee remains, while if you pay if for a year at once, there will be a discount - around 80% of the "road tax".

The road tax will be determined until next February 1.
