Unlawful use of recycling fee benefits (following inspections by the State Control Committee)
In the Mogilev region, cases of unlawful use of recycling fee benefits for the import of trucks have been identified.
The State Control Committee of the Mogilev Region has established that 5 of the 18 inspected private business entities unlawfully used recycling fee benefits when importing vehicles into the republic in 2025.
These benefits are provided to carriers to upgrade their freight vehicles and encourage the export of domestic products. A condition for receiving the benefits is that the vehicles be used exclusively for international carriage during one year after import. Entities that violated this requirement also used imported vehicles for domestic carriages during this period.
The amount of misused benefits reached almost 300 thousand rubles.
