What benefits does an old-age pensioner have under the law?

In Russia, women retire early. The retirement age is 55 and 60 years for women and men respectively. After the person receives the status of a pensioner, a number of new opportunities open before him. The state took responsibility for supporting the above-mentioned population. Everyone needs to know what benefits an old-age pensioner has. Where and how can they be issued? Answering these questions, you can easily use the state bonuses for pensioners. They greatly facilitate life and reduce spending in certain spheres.

Types of benefits

It is important to pay attention to the fact that the benefits are different. Retired people can get help in the following areas:

• Social;
• Tax;
• Housing;
• Property;
• Financial;
• Medical;
• Material.

It turns out that people of retirement age can get help in almost all spheres of life of a modern citizen. But what exactly can you expect? What benefits does an old-age pensioner have?

Taxes

The most common state bonus is tax incentives. They usually completely free the elderly from certain tax payments. Some of the benefits in this area are set at the regional level, but most of them are federal.

The benefits for old-age pensioners are most often highlighted by the following:

• Property tax - full exemption from payment for 1 object in each category of real estate (room, house, cottage, apartment and so on);
• Transport tax - partial or complete exemption from payment for passenger cars of small capacity;
• Land tax - there are usually no benefits, in some regions the payment is released partially or completely.
• A deduction for land tax of 10,000 rubles - for all the elderly.

It is not difficult to guess that the design of this bonus takes place in the Federal Tax Service. How to properly get rid of taxes while being a pensioner, will be told later. To begin with, it is necessary to understand the state support of the elderly in full.

Housing issues

What benefits do old age pensioners use? The next category of state bonuses is housing. Usually, in order to receive appropriate support, a written notification must be submitted on the implementation of their rights in the Criminal Code.

What can be claimed in Russia after receiving the status of a pensioner? To date, this is:

• Discount on payment of utility services and rent (from 50% to 100%);
• Reimbursement of expenses for using a home telephone;
• Free emergency home phone installation;
• Help with gasification of the house (free connection outside the general queue);
• Exemption (from 80 years) or 50% discount (from 70 years) to pay for major repair services at home.

All this is guaranteed, as a rule, in all regions of the Russian Federation. But this is not all. Housing benefits on the above features do not end there.

Housing provision

The thing is that under certain circumstances, pensioners can get housing from the state. Not everyone can afford a free home. To date, it can be claimed:

• People who do not own any living space;
• Needy pensioners (official recognition is required);
• Persons who have special merits before the state (veterans, heroes and so on).

Accordingly, older people of medium income can not hope for free housing. Registration of this benefit is carried out in the city administration or in the housing chamber of the region.

Medicine

The next most important sphere of human life is medicine. In it the elderly are offered special bonuses.

Their bulk does not require any clearance. It is enough to have an identification card and a pension certificate with you.

What benefits do old age pensioners have in the field of medicine? Among them are:

• Free provision of medicines (by prescription);
• Treatment in sanatoria and health resorts (in directions) without payment;
• Free service in medical institutions out of turn;
• Maintenance in nursing homes and boarding houses without charging;
• The supply of dentures on a free basis.

As already mentioned, no registration of benefits is needed. When applying for medical help you just need to confirm your status as a pensioner.

Transport

Benefits put to old-age pensioners, often depend on where the family lives. Special attention should be paid to the transport sector.

The thing is that today in Russia they say about the abolition of transport privileges for pensioners. This measure was adopted in most regions. But in some cities older people have not been deprived of state bonuses in this area.

Older people are entitled to:

• Free use of public transport;
• The purchase of tickets for suburban transport out of turn;
• Travel on suburban vehicles without charging a fee (usually after 80 years).

It is important to take into account that per-route and ordinary taxi preferences (if any) do not apply.

Working citizens

The retirement age in Russia is quite early. Even after registration of the status of pensioners, the population tries to continue its activities. This helps not only to feel younger, but also contributes to the increase in pensions.

Working pensioners have the right to state support. They may require:

• Tax deductions for certain transactions;
• Leave without pay at a convenient time (duration depends on the status of the pensioner);
• Recalculation of pension once a year;
• Free upgrading or retraining at the employer's expense;
• Accrual of pension points for the period of work.

Non-working pensioners also have the right to a tax deduction, but only if more than 3 years have passed since the dismissal. Otherwise, this opportunity for individuals who do not deduct personal income tax (13%) is lost.

Legal assistance

Old age is a period when citizens often need legal support. Services of an experienced lawyer can not be called cheap. Therefore, the state decided to provide free legal support to the elderly.

She relies on the following persons who have gone on a well-deserved rest:

• Veterans of wars and labor;
• The poor;
• People living in social service organizations;
• Polytrepressed;
• Incompetent.

All the rest will have to pay for the services of a lawyer. There is nothing surprising or unusual in this.

Address and material assistance

What benefits are offered to old-age pensioners? The elderly people of the Russian Federation can receive material or targeted assistance. For this, it is necessary to apply with appropriate application to social services.

Targeted assistance can be expressed by:

• Clothing;
• Money;
• Shoes;
• Products;
• Furniture;
• Objects for home and life.

The targeted and material assistance is only for needy pensioners. The amount of payments will vary. The only thing that can be said with certainty is that material support should provide the pensioner with the subsistence minimum of the region.

Financial sphere

All citizens of the Russian Federation at a certain age are given a pension. Older pensioners will receive benefits after the person is officially recognized as elderly. To date, the availability of his job does not affect the receipt of most state bonuses.

Financial benefits old people in Russia also receive. Among them are:

• Exemption from personal income support;
• Receiving a pension;
• Increase in the insurance part of pension payments at a certain age.

As has already been said, under certain circumstances and need, citizens will help ensure a subsistence level in the region.

Deep old age

It is clear, what kind of benefits on taxes to old-age pensioners are provided in Russia. At the age of 80, new horizons open up for the elderly. What is it about?

At this age, usually citizens can count on:

• Registration of care for themselves - the caregiver accrue work experience and pay 1,200 rubles a month;
• Full exemption from payment for major repairs;
• Increase in the insurance part of the pension by 2 times (occurs automatically).

Care is formalized in the FIU. If a citizen takes care of a pensioner, he can not conduct labor activity. But, as it was already said, he will still earn his seniority and pension points anyway.

For registration of care it is necessary to bring:

• statement;
• Passports of the parties;
• pensioner's ID;
• SUNLS of a carer and a pensioner.

You can take care of a pensioner as relatives (you will need documents confirming the relationship), and completely strangers.

We make tax breaks

Now it is clear what benefits an old-age pensioner has. All listed state bonuses are offered to the entire elderly population. How to apply for tax benefits?

To do this, you need to apply to the Federal Tax Service at the place of registration. With a pensioner should bring:

• A request for exemption from tax;
• pensioner's ID;
• passport;
• TIN (if any);
• Documents on ownership of transport / real estate.

After examining the papers, the Federal Tax Service will free the pensioner from taxes. In order for the changes to take effect from the year of the citizen's application, a written request must be submitted before November 1. Otherwise, the tax will be released from the next tax period.

Deductions

Also pay attention to the registration of tax deductions. They are provided to all working citizens, who contribute 13% of personal income tax to the state treasury. Pensioners receive this support in accordance with general rules.

With them they should bring:

• A request for a deduction;
• identification;
• Certificates of residence;
• Work record book;
• Information on income (usually in the form of 2-NDFL);
• A tax return;
• Documents-grounds for obtaining a deduction (mortgage agreement, sales agreement and so on);
• Account details, to which to transfer money.

After detailed consideration of the request, pensioners can wait for a response from the Federal Tax Service regarding the provision of a deduction. If done correctly, the money will be credited to the account in about 1.5-2 months. It is clear, what kind of benefits pensioner has in his old age.
