Each state that cares about its citizens creates special systems to ensure their worthy life. Such measures contribute to the implementation of legislative norms that reinforce social and economic human rights.
One such system is preferential privileges. Such measures are taken in relation to certain categories of citizens who really need such actions. At the same time, their subjective composition must be fixed at the legislative level. This is due to the fact that such an opportunity can be realized solely on a legal basis.
It is important to understand that not everyone has the right to benefits. Nowadays, there are certain groups of the population that are defined by the country as those that require protection from the state. This primarily concerns the material plan, since we live in a world where everything is based on economic relations. For some people, certain amounts and actions remain unbearable. Therefore, in order to simplify their lives, the state provided benefits.
If we talk about such people, then due attention must be paid to the category of military pensioners. Who is included in this group and what benefits they are entitled to is described in this article. Therefore, anyone who is faced with such a question will find it useful to familiarize themselves with this information.
Who are military pensioners
It is quite important to begin to determine directly with those people who are part of the subjective composition. This is necessary in order to determine who exactly has the right to receive preferential privileges under the law.
Thus, the current legal framework includes all military personnel who were dismissed due to retirement as military pensioners. That is, this category includes persons who have performed military service. At the same time, it becomes an obligatory fact that they worked in this area for a certain number of years and, due to the fact that such a period exceeded the minimum for entering legal rest, they were fired.
If speak about retirement age it is worth noting that a completely different system is applicable to this category of persons than to other citizens. In this situation, we are not talking about reaching a certain age. Here the fact of how many people stayed in military service is important. At the same time, the term directly depends on the type of activity and the type of work that the person performed.
Therefore, only such people can use the benefits provided to military pensioners in accordance with the law. No other person who does not have supporting documents confirming that he has received the corresponding rank and length of military service has the right to use any benefits provided by the state specifically for persons dismissed in connection with retirement.
Types (categories) of benefits for military pensioners
As we have already found out, privileges are granted to categories of people who are legally classified as military pensioners. The benefits for such individuals have a fairly wide range. Theoretically, they can be divided into several groups. In this case, the criterion here will directly be the sphere itself in which they will be used.
So, allocate:
- privileges provided in the tax system;
- for family members of entities recognized as military pensioners;
- preferential simplifications that are social in nature.
In addition to these three main categories, there are several more special benefits. So, a person who has the status of a military pensioner has certain benefits when hiring. If the employer has a certain vacancy that the person is suitable for, then he should take it, since pensioners of military service have priority when taking up the post. But at the same time, a prerequisite in this situation is that the person must be registered with the employment fund. Otherwise, such a simplification will not apply.
Benefits are also provided to military pensioners in the event that they have a desire to find a job in an institution where they previously served. The nuance is that such actions should be carried out no later than 3 months after the citizen was dismissed due to retirement. Also, with all this, the employer must provide the pensioner with a position that in no case can be lower than the one held by the person before leaving.
In addition, if in the structures where the pensioner works, for certain reasons, the staff is being reduced, then such a citizen has the privilege of preserving his workplace.
Benefits provided in the tax system
One of the most used simplification systems was the benefits of military pensioners on taxes. As you know, every citizen is obliged to periodically contribute to the country's benefit certain amounts to fill the state budget. Moreover, their size depends on what the person is doing and what his income is.
Therefore, pensioners in the military sphere are often interested in the question of whether they have certain simplifications in the field of taxable taxes. Yes, the legislation provides benefits in the system of mandatory payments for this category of persons.
Simplifications in this area can be divided into two categories:
- tax incentives for land;
- privileges for military pensioners in the system of transport taxation.
Each of them has its own characteristics, which are explained by the scope of their use.
Tax incentives for land
Every citizen who is a military pensioner has the right to use benefits if he has a land plot, which according to local cadastres should be taxed.
In accordance with the current legislative framework, every military pensioner has the right to reduce the amount of taxation. But such a process does not happen automatically, but requires certain actions on the part of the person. So, first of all, it is necessary to determine what constitutes the procedure for obtaining such a simplification. In this situation, each citizen is obliged to apply to a special authority, which determines his right to receive benefits.
Military pensioners must submit a special application. It indicates which particular land the scope of benefits applies to. In addition, you must provide a copy of the document, which indicates that the citizen has the status of a military pensioner.
In addition, it is quite important to determine exactly where to go. After all, not all bodies and authorities have the right to make decisions of this nature. In this situation, we are talking about the fact that each subject has its own powers, beyond which it does not have the right to go. Therefore, to obtain benefits for a military pensioner, all documents must be addressed to the state structure, which was his last place of work. Exclusively, this body has the right to consider issues regarding simplifications of land taxation.
Benefits for military pensioners in the transport tax system
This system is much more complicated than the previous one.This is due to the fact that land tax has a federal character, that is, it is applied throughout Russia equally. If we talk about taxation on vehicles, then this is a privilege of local governments.
The only thing that is provided for by the central authorities is a circle of entities that have the right to use such benefits. Thus, in accordance with the legislative framework, not all military pensioners have the right to use vehicle privileges. It is envisaged that only two groups of persons can realize this opportunity. These include:
- persons with disabilities who have received such status as a result of hostilities;
- military pensioners who have the title war veterans.
All other persons cannot use their position to simplify the system of taxation on vehicles.
In addition, if we talk about interest rates, then it is worth noting that they are regional in nature. Local authorities, depending on what situation they have in the region, establish percentage simplifications of the full amount of taxation.
Benefits for family members of entities that are military pensioners
It is quite important to understand that not only the persons themselves who have received the status of military pensioners have the right to simplifications. The legislation provides that family members of such citizens also have certain benefits. If we talk about who is on the list of family members, then at the legislative level this category includes a wife, widow, daughter, son, single mother.
Benefits are given to wives of military pensioners in cases provided for by law. So, such persons have the right, in the event of a reduction in staff in the organization, to remain in their workplace first. In addition, it is important to determine that children of the military who retired due to termination of service are also granted certain benefits. First of all, this applies to preschool and school education. Each child in this situation must be enrolled for one month in a school or kindergarten. It should be noted that there is absolutely no difference on what organizational basis such an institution was created.
The benefits of the widow of a military pensioner also have certain characteristics. So, every woman who lost her husband during the period of service, has the right to receive a monthly pension. In addition, in the event of the death of a military man during his service, his family has the right to receive one-time monetary compensation.
Social benefits
What are the benefits for military pensioners in the social sphere? In principle, it is generally accepted that this particular area of life requires the greatest protection. Therefore, the state provides a fairly wide range of privileges in this area.
Today to social benefits character include:
- free treatment;
- health improvement at resorts and sanatoriums;
- free transportation.
If we talk about treatment, this category of people has the right to use free medical care. That is, all state-type establishments should serve military pensioners. Moreover, the latter should not pay, since such a right is enshrined in law. In addition, this possibility is fixed at the national level, that is, local authorities are not entitled to introduce any restrictions.
Military pensioners are also entitled to the free provision of medical services in institutions of a health resort type. Benefits 2014 provide that this category of employees can use military resorts and resorts. That is, here, of course, we are not talking about private institutions.This system includes exclusively state structures, and only those that have military status. In addition, it is worth noting that you can only use this opportunity once a year. Each subsequent time should be paid directly by the former military.
If we talk about the benefits that military pensioners have, it is worth noting one of the most commonly used systems. In this case, we are talking about travel in public transport. Thus, the law provides that all persons who have retired on a military pension are entitled to use such vehicles for free. Moreover, the number of trips is not limited by anything. The journey itself is subject to the provision of a license to the driver or the conductor who arranges the journey.
Benefits for military pensioners in Moscow
It is quite important to decide on the benefits laid down by law to residents of the capital, since a huge number of people who belong to this category live here.
First of all, it is worth noting that most of the benefits in Moscow are used on the same basis as throughout the country. That is, social simplifications, travel, free treatment - all these benefits will have exactly the same parameters as in other regions. But it is worth noting that in Moscow there are certain rules that apply exclusively in the capital.
Benefits to military pensioners for housing and communal services are provided exclusively to the circle of people who live within Moscow. Thus, the law establishes that when paying for housing and communal services, citizens who have the status of a military pensioner are granted a discount of 50%. That is, such persons pay only half of all the amounts that are charged to them by the relevant services.
But in this case, it is necessary to take into account certain nuances. So, besides the fact that a person must have the status of a pensioner of military service, it is necessary that the retirement age be reached. That is, even if such a title was granted after long service and it is sufficient for retirement, then benefits for paying utility bills will not be provided until the citizen is a certain number of years old. To date, this age is provided for by law. For women, it is fifty-five years old, and for men it is sixty.
Benefits for pensioners of military service from Ukraine
Quite often, a question has recently arisen about what benefits are for military pensioners who have arrived from a neighboring country. First of all, it is worth noting that this area is not regulated in detail by legislation. Therefore, it is necessary to draw conclusions from general norms.
Privileges for military pensioners of Ukraine can be provided only in individual cases. First of all, this applies to situations when a citizen of another state was serving in the Soviet Union. In this case, the legislation of Russia provides that all persons who have the status of a military pensioner of the USSR use the benefits on the territory of our state. That is, in the event that a citizen who arrived from Ukraine became a military pensioner before 1991, he has every right to use all of the above benefits.
If we talk about those people who retired after the collapse of the USSR, as a result of which each country became independent, then this rule does not apply. This is due to the fact that in Ukraine, the military is granted the title of pensioner in accordance with other laws and rules. Accordingly, they can use the benefits on their territory. Upon entering Russia, all benefits cease to apply, since the laws of our country do not provide any privileges in this regard for foreign citizens.
The practical significance of benefits for citizens
Privileges for military pensioners become the basis for fixing the practical basis of the state’s concern for their citizens. Their system can significantly reduce the material costs of the category of people who have completed military service and have now retired. This phenomenon is not only internal in nature. Each individual country has its own rules for this account.
The benefits that military pensioners have are spoken directly in the laws themselves. As a rule, all of them are federal in nature and operate the same throughout Russia. But it is worth noting that in some situations, local authorities still have the opportunity to adjust such rights, but only in favor of improving them.
The most commonly used tax incentives are military retirees. They can significantly reduce the amount of mandatory payments. Moreover, the procedure for securing such an opportunity is quite simple, which allows everyone to use it without much effort.
It is erroneous to state that utility benefits are provided to military pensioners throughout the country. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Only the capital introduced such rules. In all other regions, such a rule does not apply.
