How to pay property tax for individuals? A similar question from year to year begins to worry many citizens. Especially those who are poorly versed in taxes and their closure. In fact, coping with the task is not so difficult. Especially if you prepare in advance for upcoming operations, as well as thoroughly study the legislative framework on the relevant topic. Even a teenager, if desired, will be able to contribute money to the state treasury against the tax for his property.
What are they paying for?
The first question that arises among citizens is what exactly you have to pay for. In general, for any property owned. For example, for a car. Only under the concept of "property tax" falls mainly on real estate. There is a transport tax for cars.
It is worth paying attention to the fact that the charges, which will be discussed later, will be carried out for:
- rooms;
- apartments;
- houses;
- garages;
- construction in progress;
- any other buildings and structures.
Land, although it is also real estate, is not included in the concept of "property". To pay for land there is a separate payment. It is called land tax.
For what period are charged
The property tax of individuals in 2017 is paid for 2016. That is, accruals will be made for the previous tax period. This rule applies to all taxes.
In other words, if in 2018 a citizen purchased an apartment, you will only need to pay for it in 2019. And so on. If a citizen received a property tax for individuals in the past period, you need to give a payment to the former owner of the property - this is his responsibility.
When notified
It is worth paying attention to the fact that today in Russia there is an ambiguous situation with tax notifications. This is due to the fact that citizens registered at Gosuslugi will receive only electronic alerts. And those who do not have an ESIA profile are paper, by mail.
In general, the receipt of payment of property tax for individuals is sent to the citizen one month before the deadline for making the relevant payment. And not later. Therefore, do not sound the alarm too early. First you need to understand how much you need to pay property tax.
Terms of payment
The period of payment of property tax for individuals gives citizens a lot of problems. Some do not know until what point the accrual of the Federal Tax Service will not be considered overdue.
Today, it is necessary to pay tax until December 1, 2018. If until this time a citizen does not conduct a transaction, he will have to face certain consequences. And, the longer the funds don’t arrive, the more you will eventually have to pay. The property tax of individuals in 2017 also needed to be “closed” before the beginning of December.
No deferrals are provided for citizens. You will have to either pay the bills or come to terms with the negative consequences of the resulting debt. Although, they can be avoided by showing enough attention to their tax responsibilities.
Consequences of delay
Untimely payment of property tax on individuals can cause certain problems in the life of a citizen. And as practice shows, the greater the debt, the more serious the consequences.
For example, a defaulter will be charged a fine. She will grow every day.A penalty is charged in the amount of 1/300 of the refinancing rate in the Russian Federation. This is approximately 10% of the initial tax charge per year.
A large tax debt (over 10,000 rubles) leads to the seizure of property. Moreover, a person may be prohibited from traveling outside the country. True, you can avoid fines and penalties. But for this you have to try. In modern realities, you will have to be fully responsible for your actions.
Charge age
The timing of the tax on property of individuals in Russia found out. And how much money will have to be paid into the state treasury, too. Is it possible not to pay?
Yes, but at your own peril and risk. Taxes have the so-called limitation period. As soon as it expires, charges in the form of fines and taxes burn out.
Today it is 3 years. This means that there is no need to pay taxes and fines accrued more than 36 months ago. The countdown starts from the very beginning if government authorities have discovered any property or found the debtor's place of residence.
As already mentioned, in the conditions of modern capabilities and technologies, running away from taxes and fines is problematic. Hiding will take a very long time. In fact, this is not possible.
