The Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Energy agreed the parameters for adjusting the damper on fuel. This is reported on the website of the Financial Ministry.
It is expected that the mechanism will start on May 1. Within its framework it is planned to reduce the indicative price of gasoline for 4 thousand rubles compared with the current rate until the end of 2021. In 2022, it is planned to reduce the price by 2.7 thousand rubles compared with the tax code installed in the Tax Code.
Also, from January 1 of next year, it is assumed to reduce the annual indexation of basic prices to calculate the damper on diesel fuel to 3 percent. From January 1, 2023, the indexation of the indicative price of gasoline by 3 percent will be conducted.
It is noted that the amendments are submitted to the Government. The costs of adjusting the damper mechanism from the budget will amount to 350 billion rubles.
Earlier, the first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on Budget and Taxes Mikhail Ochapov demanded that the Ministry of Energy and the Ministry of Finance evidence of the damper effectiveness. In particular, he requested the data that confirms the increase in the volume of processing production in the structure of the fuel market, a quantitative assessment of the deposit of the damper to the stabilization of fuel prices, as well as information on the presence of “super-profile” of oil companies – Demphere payers last year.
