Document overview

Rules have been established for calculating and collecting fees for negative impacts on the environment.

The types of negative impacts for which fees are charged have been determined. These are emissions of pollutants into the air from stationary sources, discharges of pollutants into water bodies, and waste disposal.

Legal entities and individual entrepreneurs engaged in economic or other activities on the territory of Russia, the continental shelf and in the exclusive economic zone of Russia are required to pay a fee if this activity has a negative impact on the environment. An exception is made for entities carrying out activities only at facilities that have minimal negative impact on the environment (category IV facilities).

Payment for the disposal of waste (except for municipal solid waste) is paid by the legal entity and individual entrepreneur during whose activities the waste was generated. Payments for the disposal of municipal solid waste are paid by the regional operators (operators) for the management of municipal solid waste involved in their disposal.

To encourage business entities to reduce their negative impact on the environment and implement the best available technologies, it is envisaged to apply incentive coefficients to payment rates. Also, the actual costs incurred for measures to reduce the negative impact on the environment are deducted from the fee amount.

Control over the calculation of fees is entrusted to Rosprirodnadzor.
