Can you not pay bills? And if so, under what conditions? All these questions and more will be answered below. In fact, everything is easier than it seems. It is enough to carefully study the current legislation in order to get rid of issues related to taxes on cars. The only exception is the verification of the corresponding debt. It is not written into the law. Therefore, we will talk about such a moment in more detail.

Payment characteristics

Interested in transport tax? Vehicle tax rates play an important role in the proper assessment. But what is itlike this?

TC tax is an annual tax payment. It is charged to all owners of vehicles equipped with motors with rare exceptions. You have to pay annually.

Transport taxes in Russia are governed by regional laws. That is, the rates for it, as well as the categories of beneficiaries, are set separately in each city.

Terms of money transfer

Transport tax rates increased in 2019. Nevertheless, citizens must specify them depending on the place of registration of the car. You will have to pay differently for the same transport in different cities.

Today, it is necessary to transfer funds towards taxes for the vehicle before December 1, 2019. This principle applies to all cities of Russia. True, it applies only to individuals.

Organizations will also have to pay for the presence of motor vehicles in their ownership. In this case, the funds must be transferred to the state before February 5, 2019. You will not have to make advance payments for the corresponding accrual.

What they pay for

Tax on personal vehicles must be paid by almost every citizen who owns a vehicle. But why exactly do you need to transfer money to the state?

Today, citizens pay taxes on cars for any vehicle with a motor. Namely for:

• cars;
• trucks;
• buses (including minibuses);
• transport"on tracks";
• boats;
• court;
• planes;
• motorcycles;
• motor scooters.

But you don't have to pay for bicycles and hoverboards. These vehicles are tax free.

Exempt vehicles from taxation

Who is eligible for transport tax exemptions? It is difficult to give a definitive answer to such a question. The thing is that in Russia the payment under study is of a regional nature. And as already mentioned, beneficiaries on it are determined by local laws and by-laws. This means that somewhere there are beneficiaries, but somewhere they are not at all.

However, at the federal level there are categories of vehicles that are exempt from taxation. These include:

Vehicles with engine power up to 100 HP. pp. acquired through social services;

• cars equipped for disabled use;
• boats up to 5 "horses";
• passenger and cargo ships, if used for their intended purpose;
• agricultural vehicles involved in production;
• Federal Vehicles;
• transport of special services.

There is nothing difficult to remember about this. The main thing is to remember that ordinary citizens rarely fall under such benefits. And they have to look for legal ways to reduce auto taxes.

What you need to calculate the payment

Calculation of transport tax in the Russian Federation can beimplement differently. It all depends on the personal preferences of the person.

For example, you can independently perform simple mathematical operations to get the amount of payment for a car or other transport. But for this, a citizen needs to clarify some data.

These include:

• year of vehicle release;
• transport cost;
• number of months of vehicle ownership per year;
• engine power;
• tax rate for a particular car in the selected region.

That's it. You can also find out if anyone is en titled to car tax breaks. If all the data is received, you can proceed to the calculation of the corresponding tax charge.

Formulas for calculations

Calculating transport tax is not as difficult as it seems at first glance. It is enough to use the simplest formulas to implement the task.

Usually, in order to find out how much to pay for a car, you need to use this calculation method:

Vehicle tax=tax ratenumber of "horses" in the engine(number of months of ownership of the vehicle in a year / 12).

With the help of such a formula, a person can quickly and without significant problems understand how much he will have to pay in a given year for owning a vehicle with a motor. But that's not all.

The thing is, transportation can be luxurious. That is why it is necessary to clarify its value. For luxury vehicles, an advanced formula is usedtransport tax calculation. The rates for them will be exactly the same as for regular cars, but there will be a so-called multiplier.

So, to calculate how much to pay for a luxury vehicle, you just need to multiply the figure obtained by the previous formula by the multiplier.

Automatic calculations

But this is far from the only way out. A person wants to know and calculate the tax on transport? It is not necessary to know the rates and formulas for calculating the corresponding accrual. There is a special service on the Internet that, according to the initial data, helps to calculate taxes. And not just for cars.

It's about using a tax calculator. It can be found on many information resources, but it is best to use the service from the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation. It is official, which leads to timely data updates for further calculations.

How to find out the amount of transport tax? To do this, it is recommended to proceed as follows:

1. Go to the website "Nalog.ru", and then switch to the block "Individuals".
2. Look into the "Services" subsection.
3. Click on the button labeled "Tax Calculator".
4. Specify parameters for calculations. Usually, this requires specifying the engine power of the vehicle, its luxury (if any), as well as the place of registration of movable property.
5. Press the "Calculate" button.

After the actions taken, a message will appear on the screen with the amount of tax payment for one or anotherperiod. Very convenient, especially considering that the online calculator works around the clock.

About rates

What do you need to know to calculate the transport tax? Bets on it. Without this information, it will be impossible to cope with the task. And the tax rate for the vehicle directly depends on the engine power.

Regions can set this indicator at a value of 1 ruble more per horsepower. For example, in Moscow, at the moment, a minimum rate of 12 rubles is applied to passenger vehicles, the maximum is 150 rubles.

More accurate data, as already mentioned, need to be clarified in a particular city. Vehicle tax rates will vary depending on where the vehicle is registered.

Important: you can register a vehicle not at the registration of the owner. Sometimes this trick turns out to be quite beneficial.

How to find out debt

Until what date should modern car owners pay transport tax, found out. And how can you find out the amount of the corresponding charges, while excluding independent calculations, as well as tax calculators?

The amount of tax for transport can be specified:

• through the tax office;
• in the multifunctional center;
• on "Public Services";
• through e-wallets;
• on the portal "Payment for public services";
• through third party websites.

The last trick is not popular. Usually, third-party verification web resources are reminded bythe service "Payment for public services" for its work. Only they are unreliable sources. Among them, scammers are increasingly common.

Important: a citizen can find out the exact amount of tax on a car from a tax notice.

About discounts and benefits

Who is eligible for transport tax exemptions? It is impossible to give an exact answer to this kind of question. The thing is that discounts and benefits are determined by regional legislation.

For example, in Moscow and the Moscow region, pensioners do not have any tax benefits on cars. They will be exempt from this payment on a general basis.

Usually, beneficiaries include:

• pensioners;
• large families;
• veterans;
• heroes of the USSR or RF;
• Cavalry of the Order of Glory;
• poor;
• disabled;
• military retirees.

As a rule, benefits can be expressed either by a complete exemption from taxation of one vehicle of a particular category, or by a discount of 20 to 50 percent.

More accurate data on tax credits for owning a vehicle should be clarified in a particular city. As a rule, no one cancels the transport tax for large families. But they can count on a small discount, although not everywhere.

About benefits

Suppose a person is eligible for car tax relief. What does he need to do to make it happen? Usually you need to contact the competent authority withapplication for benefits. Otherwise, the corresponding right will be forfeited. Discounts and tax exemptions for vehicles are indicative. And until a person announces their intention to use the proposed state bonuses, no one will provide them.

Usually, in order to apply for a discount or a complete exemption from vehicle tax, a citizen will need to:

1. Prepare documents (passport, TIN, application, STS) for further operation.
2. Contact your local tax office or multifunctional center to request a benefit.
3. Wait a while.

There is nothing incomprehensible or difficult about this. If a person has questions about the provision of tax benefits, it is better to seek clarification from the Federal Tax Service of a particular region.

Problems with receipts

Taxes on the transport of individuals we have studied. What else should every citizen remember? For example, that the absence of a payment notice does not exempt from liability for taxes. So, you still have to pay.

Usually notifications about the need to pay transport tax in Russia are sent out a month before the end of the date of money transfer. In our case - until November 1st. If after this date the payment has not arrived at the post office, you need to check the tax debt yourself. For example, on the website of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation or on "Gosuslugah".

It is worth noting that for some time now, users who have registered on "Gosuslugi" do not receive paper tax notices. According to the law of suchindividuals will be notified directly through the e-government website.

Payment Methods

How to know how much to pay transport tax? You can make calculations, or you can "punch" a person by TIN on "Gosuslug" or other web services. In the "Personal account of the taxpayer" tax accruals will be displayed in the "Accrued" section.

How can I contribute money towards the transport tax? The rates and rules for calculating it have already been studied. You can pay the receipt:

through cash desks of various financial institutions;

• using payment terminals;
• at ATMs;
• using the service "Payment for public services";
• through electronic payment systems;
