The head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade spoke about a new recycling fee
The Ministry of Industry and Trade may index the recycling tax after AvtoVAZ’s appeal, which could lead to an increase in prices for foreign cars, as reported by various publications, including Gazeta.ru and No Limits.
The head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov said that he is ready to consider proposals to index (increase) the recycling fee for cars.
We must study this issue. Colleagues must formulate the industry’s position, and then we at the ministry and in the government will consider it. I have heard that the industry is proposing to index the recycling fee, but I would like to see real concrete proposals.
Denis Manturov
Earlier, AvtoVAZ President Maxim Sokolov accused Chinese auto companies of unfairly competing with Lada: they «punch» recycling fee by providing discounts exceeding its size.
In addition, there was confirmation that prices for foreign cars have risen sharply.
