My dear apartment
Let us recall that in most regions the tax onReal estate is now tied not to the inventory value of the property, but to the cadastral value. And therefore the amounts in the payment orders have grown noticeably. True, a deduction is also provided. What is it? These are square meters that are not subject to tax. If you own a room, then 10 square meters will not be taken into account. The area of an apartment is reduced by 20 square meters in calculations, and a house or summer cottage - by 50 square meters. The number of owners does not matter. If there are two apartments, the deduction applies to both. Real estate tax is now charged not only on the house and apartment, but also on a parking space, a summer cottage, all buildings, including unfinished ones, that are on the site. The law provides for benefits. The full list of categories of citizens who can count on them is on the website www.nalog.ru. But it is worth paying attention to the fact that only one property is exempt from tax. Let's say a pensioner has two apartments. The budget will have to pay only for one.

Unpleasant news
Changes to the law come into force this yeartax legislation. When selling real estate that has been owned for less than five years, you must transfer 13% of the transaction amount to the state (applies to square meters acquired after January 1, 2016). Previously, only those who sold houses and apartments that were owned for less than three years had to fork out. Those who received real estate by inheritance, became the owner after privatization, or received square meters under a life-long maintenance agreement are exempt from tax. In this case, the period during which the seller owned the property does not matter.
Error issued
In addition to the property tax, there is also a land tax.and transport taxes. Information about them is included in the receipt that comes to the owner. After receiving the notification, check whether all the property has been accounted for. If, for example, you forgot about the car, then you need to inform the tax office about the shortage. If you do not provide information, a fine of 20% of the amount that should have been paid will be imposed. And sometimes the tax is charged on an apartment or car that was sold long ago. In this case, you need to write an application to the tax office. Review the notification. Its second part is the application form. It indicates the number of the document sent to you, the address of the inspection. The completed application can be sent by mail. You need to attach copies of documents confirming your words, for example, a sales contract. You can also visit the tax office in person.
Payments online
The easiest way to track your debtthrough the personal account of the tax inspectorate. To open it, you will have to visit the district office once, where they will give you a password and login. You must take your passport and TIN with you. In your personal account, you can not only find out about debts, but also pay them using a card. Don't trust this method of transferring money? Print out the receipt and pay it at the bank. In your personal account, you can file a claim for an incorrectly calculated tax or for a forgotten car. By the way, knowing the TIN, it is easy to find out if there is a debt on payments to the budget in the Yandex.Money system. Is part of the property registered to a minor? This means that he was assigned a TIN. But you cannot find out the number through electronic systems. To do this, you will still have to go to the district inspectorate.
