Experts spoke about the peculiarities of paying property and car taxes

The statutory deadline for the payment of property taxes of individuals is approaching: property tax, transportation tax and land tax. Partners of Wellborn Legacy consulting agency Marina Vlasenko and Alina Nuzhdina told Izvestia on November 23 about the specifics of tax payment.

They reminded that property taxes must be paid by December 1 of the year following the reporting year, but in 2024 December 1 is a holiday, so the deadline for tax payment is postponed to December 2, 2024.

At the same time, tax legislation provides for favorable categories of taxpayers who are exempt from paying property taxes. For example, disabled persons of groups I and II, servicemen or former servicemen with a total length of service of 20 years or more, and others. The list of preferential categories of taxpayers is listed in Article 407 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, the experts clarified.

"If the tax payment deadline is violated, the following negative consequences arise: it is possible to accrue a fine from 20 to 40% of the amount of unpaid tax, also for each day of delay penalties are accrued in the amount of 1/300 of the refinancing rate of the Central Bank, for November 2024 the refinancing rate is 21%," - said the agency.

The amount of tax payable is calculated by the tax authority. The taxpayer pays property taxes on the basis of tax notices, which are sent by the tax authority to taxpayers before November 1. If the taxpayer is connected to the personal account of the taxpayer and personal account on the portal of state and municipal services, the tax notice is sent through these services. Otherwise, the tax notice is sent by registered mail. If the amount of tax is less than 300 rubles, the tax notice is not sent, the experts added.

Tax can be paid in several ways: through the service "Personal cabinet of the taxpayer", on the portal of state services, in branches of the Russian Post, through the mobile application "Taxes FL", as well as through the service "Payment of taxes and duties".

"The Tax Code provides that the payment of tax can be made for a third person. For this purpose in the payment order, which is sent to the bank, it is necessary to indicate the identification number of the taxpayer, for whom the funds are transferred," - explained in the agency.

Earlier, on November 8, it was reported that in Russia they propose to introduce a separate tax deduction for physical fitness and recreational services and thus remove them from the general social, which can be obtained from spending on health and education. With such a proposal to the head of the Ministry of Sport Mikhail Degtyarev appealed to the State Duma deputy from the faction "United Russia", deputy chairman of the Committee on Security Anatoly Vyborny.
