«We believe that the damper mechanism, which has been working in recent years, is effective, it works correctly and successfully," Deputy Finance Minister Alexei Sazanov told TASS.
The issue, apparently, arose in connection with the proposal to calculate the damper after fuel shipments based on transactions on the stock exchange, and not on the fact of its sales.In other words, oil companies receive payments if they supply fuel to Russia at a price not higher than a certain level. If this level is exceeded, no amounts will be issued.
According to the Ministry of Finance for September of this year, the state budget pays oil companies a dampener of 30.5 billion rubles. In August, they amounted to 80.4 billion rubles.
