The Finance Ministry has not yet decided on the source of the filling of road funds

The Ministry of Finance has not yet decided to replace lost income sources of the federal road fund, but did not see the need to tie them to any tax, because we are talking about compensation from the budget, and not the rate increase, said the agency "Prime" Deputy Finance Minister Sergei Shatalov . The Russian government has instructed the Finance Ministry to finalize the question about the sources of the formation of the road fund. Energy Minister Alexander Novak reported earlier that we have considered the possibility to use it for filling not only the excise tax, but other taxes, in particular the mining tax. "There was such a version, but has not yet taken any decision," - said Shatalov. According to him, the issue is finally resolved in August, that is, towards the end of the process of preparing a draft budget for next year.
