If the car burned down during hostilities, it must somehow be removed from...

Affects

It is better to deregister a car that is unusable or lost because:

1. if the car is expensive (it cost from 2,437,500 hryvnias) and it is no more than five years old, then you have to pay tax on the vehicle, which is actually no longer owned;

2. if the car remained in the occupied territory and it was not deregistered, even in the event of theft or its use for criminal purposes, you still remain its owner and may be subject to investigation;

3. if your license plates or the car as a whole will be used on the roads of Ukraine, then all fines will have to be paid to you;

4. it is beneficial for some enterprises that have such cars on their balance sheet to avoid additional taxation.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs explained that if the vehicle burned down or remained in the occupied territory, or was damaged so seriously that it cannot be restored, the owner of the car should contact the nearest service center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and order the service of scrapping the vehicle.
