Lawyer reminded Russians of the accrual of penalties for non-payment of taxes

From December 3, citizens who have not paid housing and car taxes on time will start to receive penalties for overdue payment. This was announced by tax lawyer, head of the law enforcement center in Moscow and Moscow region Alexander Khaminsky.

The lawyer explained that the deadline for payment of property tax comes much later than the end of the reporting year. In view of this, Russians can accidentally or deliberately forget about their tax obligations for 11 months.

"Delinquency begins to be calculated from December 3, this year from the first Tuesday of the month. Given the level of digitalization of the tax service, it will not be difficult for FTS employees to identify any delinquent taxpayer," Khaminsky pointed out in a conversation with RIA Novosti, specifying that December 1 is included in the payment deadline.

The expert explained that at the beginning the debtor will be sent a demand for tax payment. In the absence of transfer within the period specified in it, an application will be filed with the court to recover the unpaid money. At the same time, in most cases, the court will rule in favor of the taxpayers, the lawyer pointed out.

After the court with the taxpayer will begin to communicate with the bailiffs, they can arrest bank accounts, prohibit travel abroad, as well as impose a ban on alienation of property. In addition, the citizen will be obliged to pay the state penalties in the amount of 1/300 of the debt, multiplied by the key rate of the Central Bank, and the enforcement fee of 7% of the collection.

Earlier, November 26, the press service of the Ministry of Finance reported that the agency considers it appropriate to introduce amendments, according to which the tax authorities will be able to collect debts from individuals without a trial. Annually, more than 95% (4.5 million) of administrative cases considered by the courts relate to the collection of tax payments, the ministry said.
