KIEV, Aug. 16 - The Ukrainian Association of Auto Importers and Dealers (VAAID) has called for the reduction of the vehicle recycling tax rate from UAH 5,500 to UAH 1,000 for passenger cars, and the association will propose postponing the term of the collection of the tax until January 1, 2014 (today – from September 1, 2013), VAAID Director General Oleh Nazarenko said.

He said that the proposals would be put into a draft law on the vehicle recycling tax being drawn up with the participation of VAAID.

"For example, in Germany the tax is EUR 100, and we want to bring the sum to the level of other countries," he said.
