When does the car tax come? How to calculate car tax

Many know the famous phrase: "A car is not a luxury, but a vehicle." The modern world has slightly corrected this expression. A car is not just a vehicle, but a necessity in our mobile life. With this it is difficult not to agree.

Most citizens of the country either have their own transport available or are thinking about buying it. But the car will have to fork out, not only when it is purchased or regularly refueled at the station. It is also necessary to pay a substantial sum for taxes. How to be in this situation? When does the car tax come? How does it count, and can you do it yourself? How not to run into penalties? This will be discussed in this article.

When does the car tax come?

The transport tax is a state fee. Every car owner must pay it. The main question that arises in citizens: when should the tax on the car come? The due date is 1 October of the following year. Let us give an example. The receipt for tax on the car came for payment for 2016. Therefore, you need to pay before October 1, 2017. But when does the tax on the car come? As a rule, this happens in late summer or early in the autumn. The receipt for payment is sent by the Federal Collection Service. Notification comes by mail. The peculiarity is that the tax is calculated individually. It depends on the power of the car (the more "horses", the more you have to fork out) and the regional coefficient.

If there is no receipt ...

There are cases when the receipt does not come by mail. Many people in this case ask the question: why does not tax come to the car? Can not pay in this case? No, I still have to give money back. The problem is usually associated with technical failures of the automated tax service system. A driver who has not received a notice of payment shall be obliged to report to the territorial office independently and receive a receipt. Otherwise, fines and penalties will be charged.

What if the car was bought at the end of the year?

Often the people who purchased the vehicle at the end of the year, the following question arises: when does the tax on the car come after the purchase? In this case, the profile service may not send the receipt by mail. But you still need to pay. Part of the annual tax depends on the time of purchase. For example, a person bought a car in October. Until the end of the year there are 2.5 months left. Pay will need only a quarter of the total tax.

A car is a luxury?

A peculiar "luxury tax" was invented by our legislators. This applies to cars worth more than three million rubles. Owners of such cars are subject to increased transport charges. The figure can be increased three times compared to a car with an engine of similar power.

How do you know for yourself?

Many citizens want to know not only how to calculate the tax on the car, but also where to find out about it. "The Post of Russia" leaves a lot of criticism concerning the work of the department. Therefore, there are people who do not trust her very much. But there are other ways. So, you can learn about the transport tax in the following places:

1. On the service with the help of TIN. But we will not dwell on it in detail, since it allows us to know only about debts. That is, about the fees for which the payment deadline has expired. They are published after November. As a rule, fines and penalties have already been assessed on them.
2. "Personal account" of the taxpayer. This service allows you to know in advance about the amount of payment. So, you do not need to think about when a car tax comes in, and worry if there is no receipt.

"Personal account" of the taxpayer

Requires compulsory registration on the site of the Federal Tax Service. In addition, you will have to go there once in person to obtain a password. But let's say right away that it's worth the effort. After all, this step can save a lot of time in the future. On the official website of the tax service you need to specify the following data:

• INN;
• Last name;
• name;
• patronymic;
• Address under the passport;
• Phone number (optional);
• E-mail (also at will);
• Series and passport number.

After filling in all the fields, click "Apply". Registration is over. The system will form two applications automatically. You will have to print them out and bring them to the Tax Service. Of course, you can skip this step. Then the employees of the department will independently fill out all the forms. And it can take a lot longer. Remember that in the last week of each month, and also completely in January, April, July and October, the service is in chaos and emergency. At this time, the tax quarters are ending. Therefore, the department has a long queue. Accordingly, it is better to schedule a visit at another time.

After the application is submitted, the citizen receives a password from the "Personal account". Within a month it needs to be changed for safety. Otherwise, the "Personal Cabinet" will be blocked. Another feature - all information will appear only for three days. If after registration you find that there is no data, this does not mean that you were "exempted" from paying taxes. It just takes some time to form a personal database.

Why do I need a "My Account"?

The "personal cabinet" of the taxpayer allows:

1. Find out the necessary information.
2. Print a receipt for payment.
3. Pay tax on the car.

As for the last point, the service allows you to make payments through various payment systems: Sberbank, Kiwi, Webmoney, Gazprombank, etc.

The place of registration is an important factor in calculating the transport tax

From where the owner of the car is registered, the transport tax will depend. This is due to the fact that the traffic police must register a car in a particular region. Before this could not be done. Any number with the figure of another locality at a subconscious level was considered transit. After all, it was impossible to travel with him in the "home" region for longer than a certain time. Now everything has changed. The authorities finally recognized that Russia is not a fragmented feudal principality, but a single state. So now you can use the number with "any region".

Linking the coefficient to the place of registration of the car could lead to the development of the following scenario: the traffic police departments in regions with a "reduced formula" would be overwhelmed with requests from all over the country to register the machines there. Therefore, the police went on a trick. In our country the coefficient is applied at the place of residence of the owner. Of course, a person can be registered in any city. However, life difficulties often "force" him to register at the place of real residence.

How can I reduce the transport tax?

There are two legitimate ways:

• To be registered in another region with a lowered coefficient. This is for those who are not afraid of personal difficulties associated with the consequences. For example, applying to social protection at the place of registration.
• Rewrite the car to another person living in a region with a lower tax coefficient.

Examples of tax differences for a car (data for 2015)

Now, more on how to calculate the tax on the car. First as an example, let's take a car with a capacity of up to 100 liters. from. For such a vehicle, the rates are as follows: Moscow - 12 rubles. For 1 liter. With., Crimea - 5, Altai Territory - 10, Bashkiria - 25. Suppose, our car has an engine of 90 "horses" under the hood. From where the owner lives, the amount of tax will depend. So, the receipt for payment for barnaulttsa will be: 90 * 10 = 900 rubles. For the inhabitant of Bashkiria the sum will be 2.5 times more - 2250. For Crimea, on the contrary, it is less twice - 450 per year.

How much do you have to pay if the car is more powerful? Let's say the engine power is 101-150 liters. from. In this case, the cost will be as follows: Moscow - 25 rubles per liter. With., Crimea - 7, Altai Territory - 20, Bashkiria - 35. For cars from 151 to 200 and from 201 to 250 also have their own individual coefficients. The difference is just huge. Compare, for example, the transport tax in Bashkiria and Crimea on a car of 150 "horses":

• 150 * 7 = 1050 rubles.
• 150 * 35 = 5250 rubles.

That is, for a resident of Crimea, the tax will be 5 times less than for a person registered in Bashkiria. Hence the conclusion - the territorial coefficient strongly determines the amount of payment.

Benefits for the disabled

For people with physical disabilities, the car tax is reduced: people with disabilities need to pay less than ordinary citizens. They are granted benefits. They are installed in each region independently. Ideally, if a person uses special cars for the disabled. According to the code, they are not taxed at all.

Benefits for pensioners

They are also installed individually depending on the region. For example, a pensioner of the Republic of Khakassia does not pay taxes on cars up to 150 liters. from. In Dagestan, only 50% discount is given for the same capacity. In the Amur region, a pensioner does not pay for his car to 100 liters. from.

Who else has the right to benefits?

The categories of beneficiaries and the sizes in each particular case are set by the regional authorities. But, as a rule, they include:

1. Participants in hostilities.
2. Large families.
3. Owners of various government awards.
4. Families with disabled children.
5. Liquidators of the consequences of the Chernobyl disaster, others affected by it.

In addition, in some regions the tax is not paid for cars of low power.

Pros and cons of registering for another person

One of the legitimate ways to reduce the transport tax is to "give" a car to the grandfather who lives in Chukotka. Then instead of 18 thousand you can give the state less than four. Of course, the discount is palpable. But it is important to know and be prepared for the consequences of such a "gift". To the underwater stones of such a transaction include the following nuances:

• The relative turned out to be dishonest and sold the car to another person.
• The bailiffs "arrested" the car for non-payment of loan obligations.
• The relative died suddenly. After that, transport can go to direct heirs, etc.

It will be impossible to prove anything in court, since it is impossible to declare the fictitiousness of such a transaction with a relative. Otherwise, you can get under the lens of the investigative authorities for willful evasion of taxes. So you need to think carefully and weigh everything: is it worth saving 10 thousand rubles a year and risking the cost of a car that costs a million?

Change of place of registration

The second way to reduce the transport tax is to register in another place. Well, if the region with a lower coefficient has its own real estate. If not - it is necessary to look for friends or relatives who will prescribe. However, in this case it can cause some life difficulties:

1. Judicial fines and orders come at the place of residence. Often their owner does not always know about them, if they are far from their registration. This leads to various fines and penalties for non-payment of debt under court orders.
2. There are cases when registration in another region makes life difficult. For example, when you apply for a new job. The legislator allowed to settle for any firm within the Russian Federation without various temporary permits. Before this was not. However, employers in an overabundance of labor are trying to reinsure. They take employees from their "own" region. Also, problems can arise with different benefits and payments.

Results

So, now we know when the tax on the car comes. We will repeat the information: the receipt is sent at the end of summer - beginning of autumn. We also found out why the tax on the car does not come, how to calculate it independently, how to legally reduce it and whether it should be done. We hope that the article will benefit many motorists and citizens interested in this issue. The main thing to remember about: in order to calculate the transportation tax yourself, it is necessary to know the regional coefficient and the right to benefits.
