How to find out debts on taxes

Citizens of the Russian Federation are required to pay a lot of different taxes, it is quite difficult to sort out independently. Sooner or later, everyone is confronted with the question of how to find out debts on taxes. There are several ways to do this.

Notifications by mail

All taxpayers are sent a tax notice to the address at the place of registration . And its form was changed in 2012. From now on, various types of taxes (transport, land, property) are reflected in one document. The content of the same letter remained the same: the type of tax payable, its amount and terms of payment.

Plus postal notifications is a receipt sent with them, on which you can pay taxes and fees. You do not have to go to the tax office or look for ways to print the document. However, this method of warning has many drawbacks. First, it is rather unreliable: letters can simply not reach the addressee. For example, they can be taken out of the mailbox, and in this case it is practically impossible to prove that the message was not received. Secondly, when you change your place of residence, notifications will arrive at the old address. Thirdly, a letter from the tax can be sent too late, and the addressee simply does not have time to pay taxes on time. Meanwhile, non-payment of such leads to the accrual of penalties. And although by law the citizen is not required to pay a fine in the event that the notice was not sent on time, in practice the courts often take the side of the tax.
