The leader of the public organization “Auto Euro Power” Oleg Yaroshevich expressed his protest in an original way against the adoption of Yuzhanina’s laws without the amendments he initiated. The activist burned his customs-unregistered Range Rover. https://www.facebook.com/AESUkraine/videos/288601518657329/
Oleg Yaroshevich explained that he promised to burn his car with Euro plates if the law №8487 on customs clearance does not consider the requirements of “Auto Euro Power”. Let’s remind that the organization demanded to remove the age coefficient from the excise calculation formula. Thus, it was emphasized that it would now be more profitable to destroy the car with Euro plates than to clear it under the new excise duties.
By the way, the car had allegedly Ukrainian AES numbers on it, but they are most likely not real. We will not comment on this act, we will only say that this Range Rover is not that old (2009-2012 years). That is, it meets Euro-5 standards and can be cleared even now! In this case, the amount of excise under the new rules is influenced not only by age but also by the significant engine capacity of the SUV. By the way, the current preferential excise does not apply to cars due to the large (4.4-5.0 L) engine capacity.
