Auto tax is levied on the citizen for whom the car is registered. This collection is carried out in order to compensate for losses incurred by the vehicle to the roadbed. The transport tax for large families who live in the Russian Federation has a leniency. But are all tax benefits provided for all large families? In this we will try to understand the article.
What does the car tax depend on?
Transport taxation depends on the following criteria:
- cost (a special coefficient for luxury is applied to expensive cars);
- year of issue;
- environmental class;
- power characteristics.
The sizes and benefits of the transport tax for large families are assigned independently by the subjects of the Russian Federation. There is also a mandatory general tax rate for all regions of the country. In practice, it turns out that the amount of payment for different regions, but for the same machines, is significantly different, it depends on the difference in the welfare of the regions.
Categories of large families
A large family is a family in which there are three or more minor children under the age of sixteen. Age restrictions can vary up to 18 years, and in some regions up to 23 years, provided that children continue to study.
Regions are entitled to determine the status of a large family on their own. This is influenced by the standard of living and population density of a particular subject. At the same time, it is required to confirm it every year at the local social security office. In many areas of life, the state supports large families by providing a number of benefits. Transport tax is no exception.
Today it is very rare to see a large family without their own car. For many young parents, a car is not only a means of transportation, but also a way to earn money. Therefore, for such categories of citizens, a special taxation procedure arises.
Features of taxation of large families
This tax is not federal, but regional; therefore, citizens who have the opportunity to receive a benefit are determined by the region. It turns out that there is simply no clear definition of transport tax benefits for large families. Each family should itself find out in the local tax service about the privilege for which it has the right to apply.
In some regions, in accordance with certain requirements, a large family, or rather parents, guardians, adoptive parents, receive full exemption from the transport tax. There are entities in which parents with many children are entitled to receive only partial benefits, and in some regions there is no relief at all and these citizens are taxed in full.
If you know for sure that you live in a region where large families are exempted from the transport tax at the legislative level, then you should consider submitting a list of documents to the tax service of your region. But do not forget that the list of documents provided, depending on the subject of the Russian Federation, varies significantly. Therefore, listing this list does not make sense.
The required package of documents is recommended to be specified in the tax office of your region, since some require a certificate of family income, the second require the provision of a technical expert opinion on the vehicle,and for the third, it’s enough to provide information on the composition of the family and the birth certificate of the children.
Social Auto Taxation
Regardless of the region where the family lives, the car received by parents with many children from the social service for free is not taxed. In other words, with such a machine, the large family is automatically exempted from the transport tax in full.
It is worth noting that in Russia cars equipped for the disabled are also not subject to this tax. But this privilege is valid only for cars. This means that a family in which there is a vehicle equipped for a disabled person is automatically exempt from tax.
Features of the transport tax for large families in Moscow
To receive exemption from transport tax in Moscow and the Moscow Region, you must have from three minor children. In this case, only one vehicle is exempt from tax. Also in the Moscow region for vehicles there is a limit on the power of the power unit, which is two hundred and fifty horsepower.
Car tax benefits in St. Petersburg
Many people ask what kind of transport tax benefits for large families are in St. Petersburg? In the Leningrad Region, families in which three or more children are raised can hope for such an indulgence. In this case, only one family member (parent, guardian, adoptive parent) is exempted from this tax. The amendment also applies: the engine power of a family vehicle should not exceed one hundred and fifty horsepower.
Information about the regions according to the Federal Tax Service
In Russia, eighty-five regions, in thirty-six regions, large families are not exempt from tax at all, in thirty-seven regions only one parent is completely exempted from paying this tax, in eight regions a large family, more precisely, one of its members, is only half exempted from tax.
In the Krasnoyarsk Territory, the transport tax exemption is ninety percent of the tax amount; in other entities, the payment of this tax for this category of citizens remains partial.
According to the Federal Tax Service of Russia, the requirements for the power of a power unit differ depending on the region. At the same time, it is explained that in four regions there were no restrictions at all on the engine power of the car. In Kursk, for example, only cars whose brands are made in Russia (both trucks and cars) fall under this exemption. In Novgorod, cars with less than twenty seats are eligible for preferential conditions.
In Russia, as a rule, a large family is considered the family in which three or more children are brought up. But there are regions where a family is considered to be large if five or more minor children live and raise in this family. An example of such a subject is the Kostroma region.
There are also age restrictions for children. In some subjects, only children under eighteen years of age are counted, in others up to twenty-three, and in some up to twenty-four years. Here are the areas that allow children up to twenty-three years of age to receive benefits:
- Oryol;
- Novosibirsk;
- Kemerovo;
- Perm Territory;
- Irkutsk;
- Pskov.
Basically, in Russia, a large family receives a vehicle tax exemption for only one car. Exceptions include southern entities. An example is Krasnodar, where the discount can be obtained immediately on two vehicles.
In some regions, these families have special requirements. In Omsk, for example, only a mother who is awarded the Maternal Glory medal can count on such a benefit.In the Stavropol Territory, only the parent who lives with his children can expect a lower tax payment.
In many regions of the country, families are exempt from tax in full. Such families can be low-income families that have a document confirming their status. You can get such a certificate at your local social security office. But counting on this privilege can only be for a family whose average monthly income does not exceed the subsistence minimum established in this subject.
How to draw up a transport tax for large families?
This issue can be resolved by the local tax office. It is recommended that all supporting documents confirming the status of a large family be updated before contacting this institution. After that, you should personally come to the authorized body or send your authorized representative there with the power of attorney correctly drawn up for him, or contact this organization by calling on the official website of the IFTS. After preparing a package of documents, hand them along with the application and receive a response from officials confirming the provision of tax benefits.
