The Ecology and Natural Resources Ministry of Ukraine has proposed cancelling the adjusting coefficients for the basic rate of the vehicle recycling tax: UAH 5.500 for passenger cars and UAH 11,000 for the rest of the vehicles, Interfax reports.
The draft law on amendments to the Tax Code of Ukraine on the cancelation of the coefficients to the ecological tax was posted on the ministry’s Web site on Wednesday.
The ministry also proposes expanding the law on environmental protection with a clause under which 100% of the recycling tax is sent to the environmental protection fund.
In addition, the bill proposes excluding the obligatory availability of the ecological management system certified under ISO 1400 standards or similar national standards at vehicle dismantling centers.
The document also proposes restricting state oversight in the area of vehicle recycling to one executive power body – the Ecology and Natural Resources Ministry.
