MOSCOW, December 15 Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to explore the possibility of establishing a longer transition period for paying the recycling fee for cars purchased before the new regulations came into force.
The head of the A Just Russia party, Sergei Mironov, said that after the adoption of new norms, some people fell into a trap. They ordered the car before the innovations, and increased the recycling fee while the car was on the way. The deputy proposed extending the transition period.
«The law does not have retroactive force, so you need to think about it, of course… Thank you for drawing attention to this. The law does not have retroactive force, therefore, if the purchase and sale transaction itself took place before the introduction of this new fee, then, Of course, we shouldn’t impose additional taxes on people,” Putin said during a meeting with the leadership of the State Duma and faction leaders.
Mironov also said that the State Duma Committee on Industry supports the proposal, and all factions know about it.
