Real estate tax for pensioners. Do retirees pay tax on real estate?

Today we will consider such a burning topic as the property tax for pensioners. And in general everything that concerns the system of taxation in respect of the elderly. This issue is extremely important. And he worries about the majority of the population. It's no secret that people who have gone on a well-deserved rest have certain privileges in Russia. But do they act in relation to real estate, property and property?

Do I have to pay

In general, if some tax notices come to your address, they really need to be paid. Not always, but often. The fact is that the property tax for pensioners can be conditionally divided into several categories of persons. And very often many payments have no exceptions to the elderly.

What does it mean? It's very simple: when a payment comes, it should be paid for. But remember, if you have a privilege or exemption from payment, according to the rules established in the region, you will have to report them to the tax authorities. Otherwise, you can pay and do not know that you are charging a fee illegally. What are the taxes on real estate? Who can not pay them?

Eternal Perks

To begin with, very often the property tax for pensioners has a place to be unpaid. After all, many elderly people simply belong in parallel to one of the mandatory categories of beneficiaries, who are generally exempted from paying the majority of contributions to real estate and property.

Most often, they are invalids of groups 1 and 2. Such citizens are completely exempted from making money to the state treasury for real estate. Therefore, this fact must be taken into account. Further, organizations involved in the transportation and transportation of persons with disabilities. Large families are also often exempt from property taxes. Veterans and heroes of the Soviet Union are regular beneficiaries. In the end, the participants in the armed actions belong to this category of persons.

Do retirees pay tax on real estate? If they are from one of the above categories, then no. This is 100%. But all the other cases will have to be considered on an individual basis.

Transport

Transport tax is a huge issue for many. Sometimes many taxpayers try to avoid him. Please note that this is a regional payment. So, the exact rules for it will be established exclusively in each subject of their own.

But nobody forgets about old people. They are exempt from the transport tax in all regions only if they have a means of transportation with a low-powered engine (from 70 to 150 horsepower, see the exact information in your region). Otherwise, you have to pay.

But not the whole amount. The real estate tax for pensioners allows you to get a discount on transport from 90 to 50%. Most often, older people pay only half of the payment. The privilege applies only to one car. If the elderly citizen owns two vehicles, you can choose only one for the discount. And the second payment is paid in full.

Earth

The next question, which interests many, is whether pensioners pay the so-called land tax. In Russia, there are uniform rules for all taxpayers. What does it mean?

It's simple: pensioners are compulsorily and fully paid annual fees for the land they own. No discounts or features. Although in some regions, pensioners may be allowed not to pay it. This practice is extremely rare, you can say, it does not have a place to be. Thus, the payment of real estate tax by pensioners, in the case of land, is made in full.

Property

The next question that interests many is the property tax. It's called "real estate" from citizens. This term is usually used for apartments, houses and other dwellings.

Little is known, but the payment of real estate tax is not made by pensioners. In general, nowhere, not in one subject of the Russian Federation. Only payments will still come to your address year after year. Until you claim your rights and benefits. So the property tax does not pay pensioners at all. Therefore, many citizens re-write their apartments to the elderly - this is a legitimate way to evade the payment of tax. All according to the law.

Sales

What if the citizen who went on a well-deserved rest decided to sell some of his property? The tax from the sale of real estate to pensioners is laid. Moreover, there are no exceptions for them.

What does it mean? If you receive income from the sale (or any other process), you will have to pay 13% of the profits to the state budget. And it does not matter whether a pensioner is working or not. The fact remains. So, when it comes to sales taxes, you will have to fully pay all receipts. Without discounts and exceptions. These are the rules.

Where and how to contact

The real estate tax for pensioners (Moscow and other regions of the country) is supposed to be paid, as you see, almost always. Nevertheless, if you have the right to a privilege or full exemption, as already said, you will have to state this. Otherwise, you will continue to be demanded of money. And it's not really good. The appeal is extremely simple - it is enough to bring some documents to the tax authority in your region and wait for the result. Present:

• Application for benefits (with only one selected);
• Documents confirming the right to a discount;
• Certificates of disability (if any);
• The passport of the citizen of the Russian Federation;
• SNILS;
• TIN (desirable);
• Pension certificate ;
• Documents on the right of ownership (+ PTA for transport);
• Military ticket (for servicemen who took part in hostilities).

If, for some reason, you paid taxes on real estate, when you had the opportunity to refuse this payment, there is a registration of a refund. True, only for the last 3 years. Contact for the operation is necessary to the tax service in your city. The documents you need are listed above. But they will have to be supplemented. Than? Attach to the list also all declarations, as well as paid payments. The bank details of the account are useful, where you will need to transfer funds. There is nothing difficult in this. The main thing is always to contact the tax inspectorate if your rights have been violated. After some time, you will be refunded the money paid. This process, as a rule, does not take much time.
