150 horsepower. How to calculate car tax by horsepower

In Russia, owners of all types of vehicles, except agricultural ones, are required to pay transport tax annually.

These payments cover the costs of road repairs and maintenance, and also pay for damage to the environment.

The law introduced a unified scale of transport tax on horses, but the Tax Code allows regions to increase and decrease rates at their discretion.

Although horsepower is no longer the official unit of measurement of engine power in the Russian Federation, it is still used when calculating the insurance premium for compulsory motor liability insurance and the transport tax rate.

People themselves are also accustomed to this measurement. At the same time, many are concerned about the question of why the transport tax depends on engine power.

The logic of legislators is clear. The more powerful the car, the larger it is, and accordingly, it creates an increased load on the road surface.

Since repair costs are compensated by taxes, their amount for owners of more powerful vehicles should be more significant.

Engine power is usually measured in horsepower. 1 l. With. shows the power required to lift a 75 kg load to a height of 1 m in 1 s.

Usually this indicator is measured in kW, but the value of l. With. varies in some countries. In Russia, 1 horsepower is equal to 735.5 watts.

There are several methods to determine the horsepower of a vehicle engine:

If you have documents for the car, you need to look at them for the engine serial number. Then you should add the last 6 digits in pairs and divide the result by 8.5. The resulting value is the number of horses.
You can look for a service center that has units for calculating engine power. They allow you to set the value to 100% accurate.
Knowing the power in kW, you should multiply it by 1.35962.
You can divide the car's power by 0.735, but the result will not be as accurate as in the previous case.

The law does not establish a uniform procedure for calculating the number of horsepower, so measurements may be difficult. The tax office recommends rounding the resulting value to two decimal places.

The rate according to the Tax Code depends on the number of litres. With.

Detailed table of transport tax by engine power, current for 2019:

Type of vehicle	Engine power, l. With.	Tax rate, rub. for 1 l. With.
Cars	up to 100	2,5
	100,1 — 150	3,5
	150,1 — 200	5
	200,1 — 250	7,5
	from 250.1	15
Trucks	up to 100	2,5
	100,1 — 150	4
	150,1 — 200	5
	200,1 — 250	6,5
	from 250.1	8,5
Motorcycle/scooter	up to 20	1
	20,1 — 35	2
	from 35.1	5
Bus	up to 200	5
Bus	from 200.1	10
Snowmobile/motosled	up to 50	2,5
Snowmobile/motosled	from 50.1	5
Speedboat/motor boat	up to 100	10
Speedboat/motor boat	from 100.1	20
Jet ski	up to 100	25
Jet ski	from 100.1	50
Yacht and other sailing-motor vessels	up to 100	20
Yacht and other sailing-motor vessels	from 100.1	40
Airplane/helicopter and other powered vessels	with 1 l. With. — 25
Non-propelled vessel	With 1 ton gross tonnage - 20
Airplane with jet engine	with 1 kg of traction force – 20
Other vehicles without engine	from 1 unit TS – 200

Thus, the transport tax varies depending on the engine power: the greater it is, the higher the rate.

For example, the tax on cars and trucks changes every 50 horsepower. If the rate is 150 l. With. equals 5, then for 170 horses it is the same, but for 200 horses it will already be higher.

For other types of transport, there are most often only 2 tax rates - one for engine power up to 100 hp. s., the other - for a power of more than 100 hp. With.

If we consider what the transport tax is for 150 horses in different regions, it turns out that in some regions of the Russian Federation it is zero, and in others it reaches 25 rubles. for 1 l. With.

This variation is explained by current legislation. Regional authorities have the right, at their discretion, to reduce or increase the rate tenfold.

For example, for cars with engines up to 100 hp. With. The tax rate in the Perm Territory, Vologda Region, Bashkiria and Sakhalin is a maximum of 25 rubles.

In the Kaluga, Kaliningrad, Tomsk regions, Khakassia and North Ossetia, this figure is significantly lower - 5-6 rubles.

In the Khanty-Mansi and Nenets Autonomous Okrugs, as well as in Chechnya, the tax rate is zero for vehicles with an engine power of up to 150 horses.

How to calculate the amount of payments?

Vehicle owners do not need to calculate the amount of tax - the Federal Tax Service will do this for them.

Federal Law No. 52 of 04/02/14 requires citizens to independently register their vehicles, which are subsequently subject to tax. Otherwise, the car owner faces a fine.

Another situation with legal entities. Their law obliges them to independently calculate their transport tax and submit data to the Federal Tax Service in a timely manner.

It is not difficult to make such calculations: you need to clarify the tax rate at the place of registration, and then simply multiply it by the number of horses in the car.

Transport tax is levied on all vehicles equipped with engines.

However, there are exceptions to this rule. The Tax Code of the Russian Federation clearly defines until how many horses the transport tax is not paid.

It is not charged for cars with a power of up to 100 horses, purchased with the assistance of social services, and motor boats with a power of no more than 5 horses.

Regardless of the number of l. pp., vessels used by industrial enterprises for fishing and transporting goods, as well as agricultural machinery, are not taxed.

In many regions, a zero tax rate also applies to cars converted for the needs of disabled people, and for cars of large families.

Hello. Please tell me, I am a combat veteran, registered in Moscow. I have a VOLVO S80 car. 204 hp I know that I don't pay tax up to 200 hp. Will I pay the full car tax or will there be any discounts for me? Thanks in advance.

Ford Kuga engine, or rather, the engines that are offered on crossovers today will delight anyone with their variety. The manufacturer decided to install 4 types of engines on the Russian version of the Ford Kuga. This is a naturally aspirated petrol from the Duratec series with a working volume of 2.5 liters. Two EcoBoost turbo engines with a volume of 1.6 liters, but of different power 150 and 182 hp. Plus Duratorq 2.0 diesel. Today we will tell you more about all these Ford Kuga engines.

In addition to a good set of engines, it is worth noting the gearboxes with which the Ford Kuga engines are combined. So the diesel engine is combined only with a 6-speed PowerShift automatic transmission and, of course, 4x4 all-wheel drive. The naturally aspirated 2.5-liter engine is sold with a 6-speed automatic transmission, but this is not a “PowerShift”, but an automatic transmission from the 6F35 series. Front-wheel drive with a 2.5-liter engine. The 4x2 version is also equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission and a 1.6-liter turbo engine with a power of 150 hp.

Further more detailed characteristics of Ford Kuga engines second generation. All of them are united by a 4-cylinder in-line configuration, two camshafts in the gas distribution mechanism (DOHC), but otherwise the engines have nothing in common. Naturally, the dynamics and fuel consumption of Kuga engines in real life may differ from the factory values, but we will trust the manufacturer.

Ford Kuga engine 2.5 petrol Duratec I4

Working volume – 2488 cm3
Cylinder diameter – 89 mm
Piston stroke – 100 mm
Power hp – 150 at 6000 rpm

Maximum speed – 185 kilometers per hour
Fuel consumption in the city – 11.2 liters
Fuel consumption in the combined cycle – 8.1 liters
Fuel consumption on the highway – 6.1 liters

It is worth noting that the same engine in the USA produces almost 170 horsepower, the question arises why in Russia there is only 150 hp, the answer is quite simple. The manufacturer specially derated the Ford Kuga 2.5 liter engine. up to 150 horses, so that buyers do not have to pay increased taxes. Actually, structurally, this motor differs little from its overseas counterpart, the only difference is in the software of the electronic engine control unit (brains). That is, with a little “chip tuning” you can get a more powerful engine.

The diesel engine of the Ford Kuga will not please you with hurricane dynamics, but it is a very economical engine with high torque.

Main for now Ford Focus 3 engine, this is a naturally-aspirated petrol unit of the Duratec series; in the ST version, a powerful turbocharged EcoBoost engine with a volume of 2 liters (249 hp) is installed. The restyled version of the Ford Focus III will most likely receive an Ecoboost engine with a volume of only 1 liter and a power of 125 horses as a base one.

Today we will take a closer look at the characteristics of the Ford Focus 3 engines. Let's start with perhaps the most powerful EcoBoost 2.0 turbo engine. We offer a photo of this power unit for clarity.

Engine Ford Focus 3 “Ecoboost” 2.0 has an all-aluminum cylinder head, the cylinder block itself is made of the same metal, there are 16 valves per 4 cylinders. This is a classic DOHC, with two camshafts. A timing chain is used as a timing drive. At 249 hp. the torque is 360 Nm, which allows the Ford Focus III ST to accelerate to the first hundred in 6.5 seconds. All these indicators are achieved thanks to direct fuel injection and, of course, turbocharging. Detailed characteristics of the Focus ST engine are below.

EcoBoost 2.0 engine specifications (249)

Working volume – 2.0 liters
Horsepower – 249
Power kW – 184
Compression ratio – 9.3:1
Torque – 360 Nm at 1750 rpm
Maximum speed – 248 kilometers per hour
Acceleration to the first hundred – 6.5 seconds
Fuel consumption in the combined cycle – 7.2 liters

By the way, the ST version with this engine can be not only a 5-door hatch, but also a station wagon.

Atmospheric Focus 3 engines of the Duratec family presented in Russia in four power options: 85, 105, 125 and 150 horsepower. Moreover, the first three have the same volume of 1.6 liters, the last is the most powerful 2 liter. The lowest power unit of 85 horses installed only on Ford Focus hatchback, in the cheapest configuration. This motor has total 8 valves, hence the low power, the rest of the engines are 16 valves. By the way, Focus engines with a power of 105 and 125 horses Duratec Ti-VCT have variable valve timing and 2-liter direct injection. The characteristics of the engines (and photos of the 2 liter one) are below.

Fuel consumption in the combined cycle - 6.7 (manual transmission) 6.4 (automatic transmission) liters

Well, now the main question, timing chain or belt in a Ford Focus 3 engine. Let's sort it out in order. The engine has a working volume 2 liters with a power of 150 horses costs a chain in the timing drive. But the entire line of Ford Focus 3 engines has a displacement of 1.6 liters timing belt is worth. So, if there is an extraneous rustling noise coming from under the hood, it is better to check the condition of the belt, since its breakage does not bode well for you.

Most car enthusiasts nowadays are interested in the issue of not only increasing gasoline prices and the cost of cars, but also the amount of car tax. It is no secret that in the world and in Russia in particular, there has been a trend towards the use of more economical and less powerful cars, because the size depends directly on the engine size. We have already written about the features payment of transport tax in Russia and its calculation. Now let's talk about the changes that await car enthusiasts in 2019.

Will there be a vehicle tax increase in 2019?

From January 1, 2013, the tax on high-power vehicles was increased, thanks to the corresponding amendments made to. This means that for cars with engine power from 410 hp. With. and a year of manufacture later than 2001, the rate increased from 15 to 300 rubles. for each horsepower, and for scooters and motorcycles with an engine power of 150 hp or more. With. - from 5 to 25 rub. But in reality, the rates have increased much more: regions are allowed to increase them up to 10 times.

On the other hand, this increase in the tax on motor vehicles did not affect ordinary motorists, because there are only 20,000 cars of this class in Russia, 7,000 of which are registered in Moscow and another 1,000 in the Moscow region.

As for 2019, the Government has decided not to increase the transport tax in the new year.
