Transport tax declaration (Russia)
According to the tax code of the Russian Federation, vehicles are subject to transport tax.
The tax period for transport tax is one year. At the end of the tax period, a company must report a transport tax declaration.
The transport tax declaration should be submitted to the tax authority where the vehicle is located. In this case, code 260 should be entered for the at place of attribute. However, the greatest taxpayers can submit declarations to the tax authority where the organization is registered as a greatest taxpayer. In this case, code 216 should be entered for the at place of attribute.
The tax base for the calculation of transport tax is one of the following criteria:
Engine power, measured in horsepower
Jet thrust, measured in kilograms of the power
Gross tonnage, measured in vessel tons
The transport tax calculation includes all fixed assets of the Vehicle asset type for which the fixed asset record contains a transport tax code. If the fixed asset is written off or sold during the accounting period, the tax calculation uses data for the month when legal registration and removal from the register occurred.
This article explains how to perform the following tasks:
Set up transport tax
Here is an overview of the steps for setting up transport tax:
[Assign tax allowances to a sales tax code as a reduction of the tax rate -and-a-reduction-of-the-tax-amount](#assign-tax-allowances-to-a-sales-tax-code-as-a-reduction-of-the-tax-rate-and-a-reduction-of-the tax amount)
Optional: Set up company divisions, their registration reason codes (KPP), and their OKTMO codes
Set up the organization's locations and assign them to company divisions
Set up transport tax codes and rates
Go to Tax > Indirect taxes > Sales tax > Sales tax codes.
Create a sales tax code.
In the Type of tax field, select Transport tax.
Specify the settlement period and the ledger posting group.
On the Action Pane, on the Sales tax code tab, in the Sales tax code group, select Values to open the Sales tax code values page.
The transport tax rate depends on the type and power of the vehicle. In the Lower Limit and Upper Limit fields, enter lower and upper limits for the power interval. Then, in the Value field, specify the tax rate for the specified interval.
In some cases, the transport tax rate also depends on the actual useful life of the vehicle. To define the tax rate so that it's based on the vehicle's lifetime, on the Action Pane, on the Transport tax tab, in the Transport tax group, select By lifetime. In the Minimum limit and Maximum limit fields, enter the lower and upper limits for the lifetime. Then, in the Tax value field, specify the tax rate for the specified interval.
Set up budget revenue codes for transport tax
Go to Cash and bank management > Setup > Payment order setup > Budget revenue classification.
Create a budget revenue code for transport tax.
Assign a budget revenue code to a sales tax code
Go to Fixed assets (Russia) > Setup > Tax reporting > Sales tax relations.
Create a record.
In the Type of tax field, select Transport tax.
In the Code field, select the sales tax code for the transport tax.
In the Budget revenue code field, select the budget revenue code that corresponds to the selected sales tax code.
Set up tax allowances
Go to Fixed assets (Russia) > Setup > Tax reporting > Tax allowances.
Create a record.
Set the following values for the tax allowance.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Privilege | Enter the tax allowance code. |
| Type of tax | Select Transport tax. |
| Benefit type | Select the type of tax allowance. The following values are applicable to transport tax allowances: Exemption from tax, Reduction of tax rate, Reduction of tax amount, and Tax deduction. |
| Name | Enter the name of the tax allowance. |
| Allowance value | Define the tax allowance value, depending on type of tax allowance that you selected in the Benefit type field: |
| Article number, Clause, and Sub-clause | Define the article number, clause, and sub-clause of the law in accordance with which the corresponding tax allowance is granted. |
Exemption from tax: Don't define the allowance value, because exemption from tax is always considered 100 percent, and the tax amount is 0 (zero).
Reduction of tax rate: Define the percentage of the tax rate reduction. For example, if the tax rate is 10 percent, and the allowance value is 2 percent, the reduced tax rate is 8 percent.
Reduction of tax amount: Define the amount, in the local currency, that is reducing the calculated tax amount for each asset.
Assign tax allowances to a sales tax code as a reduction of the tax rate and a reduction of the tax amount
Go to Fixed assets (Russia) > Setup > Tax reporting > Sales tax relations.
Select the record for the sales tax code.
In the Allowance by reduction of rate and Allowance by reduction of tax fields, select the appropriate tax allowances, if they are applicable to the sales tax code.
Set up transport tax increasing factor groups and values
The amount of transport tax should be increased for expensive vehicle models that are defined by the Ministry of Production and Trade in an informational letter and annually reviewed. The coefficient that must be considered depends on both the number of years that have passed since the vehicle's year of manufacture and the cost of vehicle. For example, for a vehicle that costs between 3 million and 5 million rubles, if less than one year has passed since its year of manufacture, the increasing coefficient is 1.5.
Go to Fixed asset (Russia) > Setup > Tax reporting > Transport tax increasing factor groups.
Create a group.
On the Transport tax increasing factor values FastTab, define the following increasing factor values.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| From date | Enter the date when the factor value starts to apply. |
| Upper lifetime | Enter the upper limit of the lifetime from manufacture that the factor value applies to. |
| Factor | Enter the increasing factor. |
Set up the territory code (OKTMO code) for the legal entity
Go to Organization administration > Organizations > Legal entities.
On the Addresses FastTab, select More options > Advanced.
On the Manage addresses page, on the Registration ID FastTab, create a line.

Set up the organization's locations and assign them to company divisions
If the organization has realty objects that are located in territories that differ from the organization's main location, or if the organization has separate subdivisions, you should set up organization locations and assign them to company divisions.
Go to Fixed assets (Russia) > Setup > Location.
Select an existing location, or create a new location.
On the General FastTab, in the Separate division ID field, select the company division that you created in the previous procedure.
Note: For vehicles that are registered in territories that differ from the organization's main location, the tax authority that transport tax is reported to is defined as the tax authority that has the same OKTMO code as the separate division that is associated with the vehicle location. For information about how to associate a fixed asset with a location, see the Specify the location of the vehicle section later in this article.
If the Separate division ID field is left blank, the location is the same as the location of the organization's head office.
Set up Fixed assets parameters for posting transport tax
Go to Fixed assets (Russia) > Setup > Parameters.
On the Number sequences tab, for the Assessed tax registers journal number reference, select a number sequence for the tax register.
On the Tax reporting tab, in the Transport tax section, in the Sales tax code field, select the default sales tax code for transport tax.
