More and more often, citizens are interested in who is exempt from paying property tax. This topic is actually extremely relevant. After all, property tax is an important payment. If it is not produced with the property, you can be left homeless.

But there are tax breaks in Russia. You also need to know about them. After all, no one wants to give extra money. And just like that, pay off bills that don't really need to be paid, too. Who can claim exemption from property tax? What should Russian citizens know about this payment in general? All this will be discussed later.

Property tax is…

First of all, it is worth understanding what kind of collection we are talking about. The fact is that not all citizens pay property tax. It is payable only to those who own certain property. More specifically, real estate. More precisely, property tax is charged for:

• apartments;
• rooms;
• at home;
• dachas;
• buildings;
• shares in the specified properties.

When a person is the owner of the listed property, he will have to pay property tax annually. Organizations also make the same payment.

Due date

Who is exempt from paying property tax? This payment will have to be paid before a certain date. Some believe that beneficiaries are given a reprieve. This is an incorrect statement. Beneficiaries (their full list will be presented below) are completely exempt from the specified payment. It is inappropriate to speak of a delay in this case.

Thus, citizens who are subject to property tax must pay the state before December 1 in 2016. After this date, pen alties will begin to accrue. As a result, there will be debt. It has already been said that no one can get a deferred payment. Only full tax exemption. But who and under what circumstances is en titled to such bonuses from the state?

Ambiguity

The answer to this question is not as easy as it seems. The matter is that the property tax is a payment which is regulated at the regional level. And in Russia, it is allowed to designate certain categories of beneficiaries who are given discounts on this fee. Also, cities have the right to independently establish a list of those who may not pay for their property.

That's why quite often recommend all the featurescheck the payment in the administration of a particular locality or in the tax inspectorates of certain regions. Despite this, there are generally accepted beneficiaries. These are persons exempt from paying property tax in all regions of Russia. Who do they include? And who can be called a beneficiary at all?

Pensioners

So, the first category of persons are pensioners. In Russia they are considered eternal beneficiaries. Fully exempt from property tax. It is important to understand what is meant here by persons who, by age, have retired.

In Russia, men become pensioners at 60, and women at 55. It is after these age limits that you can claim your property benefits. The bonus applies to both employed and unemployed. The main thing is to receive pension payments in the prescribed manner.

Privileges are provided for all types of property. Only one benefit is provided for each type of property. This means that a pensioner may not pay only for one apartment, one house, one cottage and one room, which he has in private ownership if there are several similar real estate objects. The tax credit is automatically granted for more expensive property. Or a pensioner (any other beneficiary) himself declares which property is subject to benefits.

Heroes

The next category of persons is most often found among pensioners. Heroes are completely exempt from property taxRussian Federation. Also here can be attributed Heroes of the Soviet Union. These are categories of the population, which, like pensioners, are called permanent beneficiaries.

True, you will have to report your status to the tax office. And provide proof that the citizen is indeed a hero. Otherwise, no one will exempt him from property tax. Families of these categories of citizens do not have any bonuses in relation to the payment of property contributions.

Disabled people

What's next? Who else is eligible for full exemption from the studied tax? In fact, there are a lot of beneficiaries. Some categories of citizens do not even suspect that they may not pay for their property. For example, beneficiaries are people with disabilities since childhood. This category of persons also includes people with disabilities who have the 1st or 2nd disability group.

They are granted exemption from the fee only after contacting the tax office with a relevant application and a medical certificate confirming the state of he alth of a citizen. It follows that not all disabled people are beneficiaries. People who belong to the 3rd group will pay the tax in full, unless otherwise provided at the regional level. This fact must be taken into account by every citizen. Disabled people from childhood will always be exempt from the specified payment, regardless of the group received.

Veterans

Veterans of the Great Patriotic War and people who participated in the civil war are the next facesexempt from property taxes. These categories of citizens are less and less common in the regions. In addition to veterans, one can also single out people who were awarded the Order of Glory of three degrees. The cavalry is also exempt from the payment under study. And without fail. Regions cannot collect property tax from the specified categories of citizens. These beneficiaries are federal. This means that you can only add to the list of persons who are exempt from property tax.

Military

What other people might not make this payment? Military personnel are exempt from paying property tax. But only under certain circumstances. In what cases is the military en titled to an exemption from paying tax on existing property? Today it is:

• Discharged military who have served at least 20 years.
• Participants in the liquidation of military facilities.
• Participants in the war in Afghanistan and fighting in other hot spots.
• Parents and wives of the military who died in the line of duty.
• People who have tested especially dangerous weapons (thermonuclear or nuclear).
• Military families who lost their breadwinner.

Accordingly, not all military personnel are en titled to benefits regarding property payments. Only people with a certain length of service (conscripts included here) can qualify for property tax exemption.

Individuals

Who else is exempt from paying property tax? The thing isthat some individuals may also not make the specified payment. But under certain circumstances. To date, among the beneficiaries are:

1. Persons who work in the creative field. Then for the property that is used for labor, you can not pay. These include libraries, studios, studios, galleries and museums.
2. People who had radiation sickness. This also includes those who became disabled as a result of exercises, tests and other work related to nuclear installations. And any. For example, victims of Chernobyl may not pay for property.
3. All individuals with small outbuildings. An exemption is granted when it comes to real estate that does not exceed 50 square meters in area.

These are the rules that apply in Russia in 2016. All these facts should be known to everyone. Otherwise, he may make an extra payment. But that's not all the important information.

Children

Are children exempt from paying property tax? This question is of concern to many parents. And it causes huge controversy in all regions of the country. After all, if the property has an owner, he must pay for the property. How to be with children? Minors are partially exempt from property tax. Payments in their names will come. But their legal representatives must pay. Non-payment threatens with debt and a large fine. Therefore, it is worth remembering that in relation to propertychildren do not have any tax benefits. As adults, they will have to pay for their own property.

Other beneficiaries

When else can there be a 0% property tax rate? All previously listed categories of citizens are federal beneficiaries. They, as already mentioned, will always be exempt from the said payment. But what other scenarios could there be? Among those who may not pay property tax, it is quite common to single out:

• poor;
• large children;
• disabled of all groups.

Most often these categories of persons are regional, or, as they are also called, local beneficiaries. Heroes of the Russian Federation and all previously listed categories of persons, as emphasized, will still receive exemption from property tax.

Organizations

Also, some organizations are eligible for the study benefit. In which cases? Since 2015, these opportunities have been provided:

1. For all movable property registered since 2013. The property tax exemption code in this case is 2010257.
2. All property, which is taken into account in the balance of the company-participant of the SEZ. The declaration will have to indicate the code 2010258.

All other property is fully taxed. These are the rules that are in force on the territory of the Russian Federation in 2016. From now on, it is clear who is exempt from paying property tax.
