📋 Tender Overview
The Ministry of Transport supported the introduction of separate legislative regulation of the activities of self-employed taxi drivers. This follows from the departments response, signed by Deputy Minister Alexei Shilo, to the bill of the deputy chairman of the State Duma committee for the protection of competition, representative of the United Russia faction Sergei Lisovsky. The document, which Izvestia has, notes that the law enforcement practice of the law On the organization of transportation of passengers and luggage by passenger taxis of the Russian Federation, adopted in 2022, showed that a number of its norms are redundant for citizens who are engaged in transportation in free time. main work time.
The introduction of separate regulation for such carriers seems appropriate both from the point of view of simplifying their entry into the legal field, and from the point of view of increasing tax collection, the deputy head of the Ministry of Transport said in his response.
At the same time, the department supports the concept of the bill, noting the need for its refinement. At the same time, the ministry asked the deputy to justify the feasibility of developing a separate law, rather than amending the current regulation on taxi regulation.
The bill, which Izvestia has at its disposal, proposes to introduce special regulation of the work of self-employed taxi drivers in private cars. In particular, it is planned to simplify registration - through an aggregator, without contacting the State Services and the MFC. In addition, for this category of carriers it is proposed to waive mandatory pre- and post-trip medical examinations, as well as requirements for car painting.
At the same time, the bill establishes basic requirements for individual carriers. They relate to driving experience, health status, absence of convictions for serious and especially serious crimes, as well as administrative violations in the field of traffic. In addition, drivers must have self-employed status and be included in the register of persons transporting passengers in private vehicles.
Industry representatives support the initiative, declaring the emergence of a market of carriers in the country who were unable to comply with the requirements of the current law and began to work in vain. However, some experts insist that the abolition of a number of requirements could lead to a weakening of controls and create risks for passenger safety.
