The Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation proposed to reduce the list of technological equipment, upon import of which VAT is not paid.

The draft of the relevant government decree has been published on a single portal for posting draft laws.

Recall that the list of technological equipment (including components and spare parts for it), analogues of which are not manufactured in the Russian Federation, the import of which is not subject to VAT, was approved by government Decree No. 372 dated 30.04.2009 (with amendments and additions).

Now the Ministry proposes to exclude it from this list.:

  • apparatus for distillation or distillation (HS code 8419 40 000 9);
  • machines for liquefying air or gases (HS code 8419 60 000 0);
  • equipment and devices for filtering or purifying air (HS code 8421 39 200 1);
  • equipment and devices for filtering or purifying liquids or gases (HS Code 8421 39 800 6)
  • equipment for filling, sealing bottles, cans, closing boxes, bags or other containers, for sealing or labeling them (HS code 8422 30 000 1);
  • elevators and continuous conveyors for goods or materials, other: belt type (HS code 8428 33 000 0);
  • machines for extrusion of artificial textile materials (HS code 8444 00 100 0).

As explained in the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the listed items should be excluded due to the presence of analogues of these products in the Register of Russian Industrial Products, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated 17.07.2015 No. 719.
