Much has already been written about the transport tax that car owners will have to pay instead of state duty. Tax rates have also been published. But questions still remain. On the portal “SB. Belarus Today”, Chairman of the Standing Committee on Budget and Finance of the Parliamentary Assembly of the National Assembly of the Republic of Belarus Lyudmila Nizhevich and deputy Sergei Stelmashonok answered some questions using examples.
Do I need to undergo a technical inspection?
Hello, I insured my car in December 2021, do I need to undergo a technical inspection, or can I drive with an old ticket?
You can safely drive until your insurance expires.
| Answers on questions:

- The inspection ticket has been canceled - all you need is a diagnostic card.
- In 2021, technical inspections are carried out by inspection operators accredited by the Russian Union of Auto Insurers (RUA). All inspection stations will receive accreditation.
- From 08/09/2012, after a technical inspection, a Diagnostic Card will be issued instead of a technical inspection coupon. In 2018, it is planned to switch to an electronic diagnostic card.
- Starting from 2021, a car owner can undergo a technical inspection not only at the place of his immediate residence, but also in any other region of Russia.
- Inspection operators must be connected to a unified automated information system for inspection (otherwise known as UAIS TO). Information on each vehicle that has passed the technical inspection must be transferred to the UAIS TO within 24 hours.
Control over technical inspection in 2021 has decreased significantly. In the first half of the year, many motorists simply stopped undergoing technical inspection, because... insurance companies often sold MTPL policies without monitoring the presence of a maintenance coupon. Recent changes to the Law have also left loopholes for those who cannot (or do not want) to undergo an inspection. As a result, in the 1st half of 2021, the number of accidents due to the technical condition of cars in Russia increased sharply - by almost 30% compared to the 1st half of 2021. The number of deaths in such accidents has increased by 53 people!
The cost of passing a technical inspection will increase from January 2021. The Federal Law “On Technical Inspection of Vehicles...” comes into force.
Now the inspection coupon becomes a mandatory document when purchasing an MTPL policy, but this rule does not apply to cars that are not yet 3 years old, in which case the car does not need to have this coupon.
For cars older than 3 years, from January 1, 2021, it is possible to purchase a new OSAGO policy only if you have a technical inspection coupon, which, as you know, expires no more than 6 months before the expiration of the insurance policy.
Also, from January 1, 2018, State Traffic Inspectorate employees will not check whether the driver has State Traffic Safety Inspectorate tickets during traffic supervision.
In accordance with the law, it is quite enough for DSP employees to check only the presence of an MTPL insurance policy, which indicates that the car is not only insured, but also technically sound.
Valid technical inspection coupons issued before August 1, 2018 (new and old) can be accepted by insurance companies for concluding MTPL contracts until August 1, 2018.
If you didn't pass the inspection in 2020, how much should you pay in 2021?
Next year, individuals who will have vehicles registered as of July 1, 2021 and who have not paid the state duty for the admission of vehicles to participate in traffic before January 1, 2021, will have to make an advance payment in the amount of one base fee no later than December 15, 2021 value (based on its size as of January 1, 2021) for each vehicle. For a trailer, caravan trailer and motorcycle – 20 rubles. In 2022, depending on the actual period of ownership of the vehicle in 2021, you will need to pay extra. Final tax payment for 2021 is due by the vehicle owner no later than November 15, 2022.
Example . The VAZ-2106 car was produced and registered in 1992. Its permissible weight is no more than 1.5 tons. The owner of the car is a pensioner, a WWII veteran or a disabled person of group I or II, who has a valid driver’s license. If he has not paid the state duty by 01/01/2021, the calculation and payment of transport tax will be carried out in the following order.
The transport tax on such a car will be 30 rubles 50 kopecks (according to the established rates and the 50% exemption provided for by the Tax Code for 2021). In this case, until December 15, 2021, the car owner will have to pay an advance in the amount of the base amount. An additional payment of 1 ruble 50 kopecks must be made no later than November 15, 2022 based on a notice from the tax office sent to the car owner before September 1, 2022.
Diagnostic card
diagnostic card - a document drawn up based on the results of a technical inspection of a vehicle and its additional equipment. A document document is an A4 sheet of paper, which contains information about all the tested components and assemblies of the vehicle in the form of a table. This information was also entered into the DC, but the document itself was not handed over to the car owner.
The diagnostic card contains a conclusion about the non-compliance or compliance of the vehicle with mandatory vehicle safety requirements.
a diagnostic card containing a conclusion about the possibility of operating a vehicle must inform about the validity period of such a conclusion, the period from the date of issue of the document until the day no later than which the owner of the vehicle (or his representative) is obliged to apply for the next technical inspection.
The diagnostic card, which contains a conclusion about the impossibility of operating the vehicle, contains a list of identified faults that do not meet mandatory safety requirements, which the car owner must eliminate within 20 days.
The diagnostic card is certified by the signature of the technical expert who checked the technical condition of the vehicle; it contains the surname, initials and signature of the specialist who made the decision to issue the diagnostic card. The technical inspection operator and the expert bear full responsibility for issuing a diagnostic card, as well as for compliance with other requirements established by federal legislation.
The diagnostic card is drawn up in writing in duplicate and in the form of an electronic document. The recreation center is assigned a unique number by which it can be identified. One copy of the diagnostic card, drawn up in writing, is issued to the owner of the vehicle (or his representative), the other is kept by the technical inspection operator for at least 3 years. the diagnostic card, compiled in the form of an electronic document, is sent to the unified automated information system for technical inspection (UAISTO) and is stored there for 5 years. The diagnostic card is a document of strict reporting.
If during the validity period of a diagnostic card containing information about the vehicle’s compliance with mandatory safety requirements, the owner of the vehicle has changed (purchase of ownership, receipt of economic or operational management, etc.), this diagnostic card is considered valid until the expiration of the specified there is a deadline in it.
The form of the diagnostic card is approved by the government of the Russian Federation, the rules for filling out the diagnostic card are approved by the authorized federal executive body.
In case of damage or loss of the diagnostic card during its validity period, a corresponding duplicate is issued by any inspection operator upon application of the vehicle owner (or his representative) based on the information contained in the EAISTO. A duplicate is issued to the applicant on the day of application. Issuance of a diagnostic card, and replacement of a lost or unusable one, is subject to a state fee of 300 rubles.
The diagnostic card does not need to be constantly carried with you in the car. The traffic police inspector does not have the right to demand it from the car owner, it is only needed to conclude a compulsory motor liability insurance agreement. a diagnostic card confirms the vehicle’s admission to participate in road traffic not only on the territory of the Russian Federation, but also beyond its borders, in accordance with international treaties of the Russian Federation.
Are there any benefits for tax payers?
Vehicles for which the permit to participate in road traffic has not yet expired, for the issuance of which the state fee has been paid (for the period of validity of the permit), are exempt from transport tax. Also, cars deregistered before July 1, 2021 will be exempt from tax.
If a person is in a difficult life situation and can confirm this, he can also be fully or partially exempt from paying tax on vehicles that are not used for business. This right will be given to local Councils of Deputies or (on their instructions) executive and administrative bodies.

DISCOUNT UP TO 50%
Veterans of the Great Patriotic War, disabled people of group I or II, persons who have reached the generally established retirement age, or persons entitled to an old-age pension with a reduction in the generally established retirement age will receive a 50% tax discount. A valid driver's license of the appropriate category is required.
There is also a 25% discount for disabled people of group III, again, if they have a valid driver’s license of the appropriate category.
There are other special categories of vehicles that are not recognized as subject to taxation, in other words, the owners of which will not have to pay transport tax. This applies to owners of cars that were manufactured no later than 1991 or for which there is no information about the year of manufacture. Owners of electric vehicles will also be lucky. But for them, the benefit will only work until December 31, 2025.
Questions about filling out a diagnostic card. Rules for filling out the diagnostic maintenance card
As expected, the inspection procedure and the inspection procedure itself are gradually being refined and refined. Previously, a diagnostic card was supposed to be issued only if the car did not pass inspection. Now a diagnostic card must be issued to every car owner who applies for a maintenance service.
The rules for filling out a diagnostic card when passing a technical inspection, published on January 17, 2021, will be of interest to car owners. We remind you that from January 1, 2021, technical inspections are carried out according to new legislation. Now everyone will receive a diagnostic card, and not just those whose car did not pass the inspection, as previously announced.
