Many people know the famous catchphrase: "A car is not a luxury, but a means of transportation." The modern world has slightly corrected this expression. A car is not just a means of transportation, but a necessity in our mobile life. It's hard to disagree with this.

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

When does the car tax come?

Transport tax is a government duty. It must be paid by every car owner. The main question that arises among citizens: when should the car tax come? Payment term - up to 1October next year. Let's take an example. The receipt for the tax on the car came for payment for 2016. Therefore, you need to pay before October 1, 2017. But when does the car tax come? As a rule, this happens at the end of summer or at the very beginning of autumn. A receipt for payment is sent by the Federal Service for Collections. 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 times when the receipt does not arrive in the mail. Many people in this case ask the question: why does not the car tax come? Can I not pay in this case? No, you still have to pay back. The problem is usually associated with technical failures of the automated system of the tax service. A driver who has not received a notification of payment is obliged to independently appear at the territorial service and receive a receipt. Otherwise, fines and pen alties will be charged.

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

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

A car is a luxury?

Our legislators came up with a kind of "luxury tax". This applies to cars worth more than three million rubles. Owners of such vehicles are subject to increased transport fees. The figure can increase three times compared to a car with an engine of similar power.

How to find out for yourself?

Many citizens want to know not only how to calculate car tax, but also where to find out about it. Russian Post leaves a lot of complaints regarding the work of the department. Therefore, there are people who do not really trust her. But there are other ways. So, you can find out about transport tax in the following places:

1. On the service using the TIN. But we will not dwell on it in more detail, since it allows you to find out only about debts. That is, about fees that have expired due dates for payment. They are published after November. As a rule, fines and pen alties have already been accrued on them.
2. "Personal account" of the taxpayer. This service allows you to know in advance about the amount of payment. So, you don't have to think about when the tax on the car comes, and worry if there is no receipt.

"Personal account" of the taxpayer

Requires mandatory registration on the website of the Federal Tax Service. In addition, you will have to go there in person to receive the password once. But let's just say that it's worth the effort. After all, such a step can save a lot of time in the future. On the official website of the tax service, you must specify the followingdata:

• TIN;
• surname;
• name;
• patronymic;
• passport address;
• phone number (optional);
• email (also optional);
• series and passport number.

After filling in all the fields, click "Apply". Registration has ended. The system will generate two applications automatically. All you have to do is print them out and bring them to the IRS. Of course, this step can be skipped. Then the employees of the department will fill out all the forms on their own. And that can take a lot longer. Remember that in the last week of each month, and also throughout January, April, July and October, the service is chaotic and rushed. This is the end of the tax quarters. Therefore, there are long queues in the department. Accordingly, it is better to schedule a visit at a different time.

After submitting the application, the citizen receives a password from the "Personal Account". Within a month, it must be changed for safety. Otherwise, the "Personal Account" will be blocked. Another feature is that all information will appear only within three days. If, after registration, you find that there is no data, this does not mean that you have been “exempted” from paying taxes. It just takes some time to form a personal base.

Why do I need a "Personal Account"?

"Personal account" of the taxpayer allows:

1. Find out the necessary information.
2. Print a receipt forpayment.
3. Pay car tax.

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

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

The transport tax will depend on where the owner of the car is registered. This is due to the fact that the traffic police is obliged to register a car in a particular region. Previously, this could not be done. Any number with a number from another area on 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. Therefore, now you can use the number with "any region".

Linking the coefficient to the place of car registration could lead to the development of the following scenario: traffic police departments in regions with a “lowered formula” would be inundated with requests from all over the country to register cars there. So the police went to the 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's difficulties often "force" him to register at the place of real residence.

How can I reduce the transport tax?

There are two legal ways:

• Register in another region with a reduced coefficient. This is for those who are not afraid of the personal difficulties associated withconsequences. For example, contacting social security at the place of registration.
• Rewrite the car to another person living in a region with a lower tax rate.

Examples of car tax difference (2015 data)

Now more about how to calculate car tax. First, as an example, take a car with a capacity of up to 100 hp. With. For such a vehicle, the rates are as follows: Moscow - 12 rubles. for 1 liter s., Crimea - 5, Altai Territory - 10, Bashkiria - 25. Suppose our car has an engine of 90 "horses" under the hood. The amount of tax will depend on where the owner lives. So, a receipt for payment for a Barnaul citizen will be: 9010 \u003d 900 rubles. For a resident of Bashkiria, the amount will be 2.5 times more - 2250. For the Crimea, on the contrary, it will be half as much - 450 per year.

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

• 1507=RUB 1050
• 15035=RUB 5250

T. 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 the payment.

Disability Benefits

Forfor people with physical disabilities, the car tax is reduced: disabled people need to pay less than ordinary citizens. They are given 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 subject to any fees 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. With. In Dagestan, a discount of only 50% is provided for the same capacity. In the Amur Region, a pensioner does not pay for his car up to 100 liters. s.

Who else is eligible?

Categories of beneficiaries and sizes in each case are established by regional authorities. But, as a rule, these include:

1. Combatants.
2. Large families.
3. Owners of various government awards.
4. Families with disabled children.
5. Liquidators of the consequences of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, other persons affected by it.

In addition, in some regions, the tax is not paid for small cars.

Pros and cons of registering as another person

One of the legitimate ways to reduce the transport tax is to “give” a car to a grandfather who lives in Chukotka. Then, instead of 18 thousand, it will be possible to give the state less than four. Of course, the discount is significant. But it is important to know and be prepared for the consequences of such a “gift”. To underwaterstones of such a deal include the following nuances:

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

It will be impossible to prove anything in court, because it is impossible to declare the fictitiousness of such a deal with a relative. Otherwise, you can get under the lens of the investigating authorities for deliberate tax evasion. 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 elsewhere. It is good if the region with a reduced coefficient has its own real estate. If not, you need to look for friends or relatives who will prescribe. However, in this case, it may cause some life difficulties:

1. Judicial fines and rulings come at the place of registration. Often their owner does not always know about them if he is far from his registration. This leads to various fines and pen alties for non-payment of the debt under court orders.
2. There are times when registering in another region makes life difficult. For example, when applying for a new job. The legislator allowed to get a job at any company within the Russian Federation without various temporary permits. This was not the case before. However, employers in the face of an overabundance of labor are trying to play it safe. They accept employees from "their" region. Also, problems may arise with various benefits and payments.

Results

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