Tax exemption rules for pensioners

The regular payment of taxes by the elderly negatively affects the full existence, as it takes a significant part of the income. The current regulatory legal acts contain information on various benefits for persons who have reached advanced years.

It is important to understand that a pensioner can be either completely exempt from paying taxes or contribute funds to the state treasury on preferential terms.

Legislative regulation of the issue

Retirees are exempt from certain taxes. But not always the conditions are set out in the same way in all legislative acts.

So, at the federal level no privileges are provided for pensioners in terms of paying land tax.

BUT article 395 of the Tax Code regulates that some older people (small indigenous people of certain areas) may not pay.

Local government also entitled to make adjustments.

Federal legislation establishes relief for pensioners in the form of exemption from payment.

Contributions for transport

The regulation of this tax is made by the authorities of the region in which the vehicle is to be registered.

Federal law does not provide pensioners with any privileges in a particular case.

We must not forget about situations, exempting from payment, even if the regional authorities did not think about such a relief, for example:

1. A car is a means of transportation for a disabled person.
2. The purchase of transport was made by social protection. In this case, the maximum power value should not exceed 100 hp.
3. Owning several types of transport allows you to count on exemption from paying a contribution to the budget regarding one of them .

To clarify the question of whether there are benefits that can be used, the pensioner must contact the tax office in accordance with the address of residence.

To the ground

The legislation states that if a citizen belongs to the indigenous peoples whose place of residence is the North, Siberia and the Far East, and the use of the land plot is aimed at preserving and developing the habitual foundations of life and housekeeping, then there can be no question of any land tax .

Income

A military pensioner can use the right to free round-trip travel on any type of transport if he needs to get to a hospital or other specialized medical institution.

A military man who retired due to the length of service that allows him to go to an early retirement, but who continued to perform his job duties, has the right to receive in the event of the purchase / sale of a property. In this case, the following restrictions apply: 2 million rubles, if there is a purchase, 3 million rubles, if credit funds are involved in the acquisition, 1 million rubles, if the former military sold his own real estate.

But the obligations that have arisen in accordance with the land or transport tax will have to be fulfilled on general terms.

The tax on the income of an individual is not levied on a military pensioner when it comes to such sources as: pensions, material assistance or payment for a ticket to a medical sanatorium by a former employer.

labor veterans

Land plots can be provided, subject to the submission of the necessary package of papers to the housing committee and the fulfillment following conditions:

• there is no property in the property;
• existing housing conditions are not enough for a normal existence;
• the presence of official registration in the territory of the subject of the Russian Federation for at least 5 years.

In accordance with the Tax Code, land and property taxes are classified as local, that is, funds contributed by citizens go to the local treasury.

Therefore, information about who pays them and in what sequence or not should be contained in local regulations governing the situation in a particular region or region.

Property calculated based on the price of the object in accordance with the cadastre. Payment should be made only after the end of the tax period, which is a calendar year.

A labor veteran like any other owner land plot pays tax liabilities. True, the municipal government also has the right to regulate the issue of granting benefits, so the tax base is often subject to reduction.

The functions of regional tax authorities include explanatory work among the population. The employee of the service must state as clearly as possible the information on how and where payment can be made, provide clarifications, if any, and notify of responsibility, in case of admission of debts.

In accordance with federal law, land tax may not be paid the following labor veterans:

• and the USSR;
• disabled people who are completely restricted in movement;
• disabled people of the 2nd group, if one was assigned to them before 2004;
• disabled children;
• war veterans;
• citizens affected in Chernobyl.

The "lonely" title of Labor Veteran does not confer any tax liability benefits.

Not a single federal law contains information that exempts hard-working citizens from paying property tax. But, as part of some regional programs, you can find information about social assistance.

The basic principle is to reduce the taxable amount. An applicant for a benefit must meet certain requirements: permanent registration, absence of any business process, etc.

Detailed and reliable information about the benefits, requirements, completeness and procedure for submitting documents is best obtained from the tax service in accordance with the place of permanent residence.
