In Russia, tax issues cause a lot of problems to the population. Someone does not have time to pay the state on time, someone is assigned the wrong payments, and some are faced with more serious situations. Some citizens think why the tax on an apartment / car / land does not come. And what if the corresponding tax notice was not delivered to the taxpayer? Is there any reason for concern? The answers to all these questions will be discovered later. In 2016-2017, the topic under study began to worry the bulk of the population. Therefore, it is necessary to consider it from all sides.
Taxes and notices
In Russia, it is customary to pay taxes on payment notifications. They are distributed by tax authorities in all regions of the Russian Federation. No exceptions!
The notification comes by mail, registered mail. It will indicate the type of tax payment, information about the taxpayer and the Federal Tax Service recipient, as well as tax data. It will also indicate how much to pay in a particular case.
But sometimes you have to wonder why the apartment tax does not come. Should I be afraid of this situation? And do you have to pay bills if they really haven’t come?
Mailing date
The first reason for the problem being studied is very common. Citizens want to pay the state as soon as possible, so they are waiting for payment notifications. But bills do not come. Then the question arises as to why this happens.
The thing is that the Federal Tax Service sends out payment notifications at a certain point. The bulk of taxes is annual payments. And they are paid at different time periods.
According to the law, the Federal Tax Service is obliged to notify the population of the need to deposit funds in the state treasury no later than 1 month before the deadline for payment of receipts. Accordingly, payments will only come at a certain time.
Today in Russia taxes on an apartment must be paid before December 1 (inclusive). It follows that before November 1, tax authorities are required to send a receipt. But why doesn’t the apartment tax come after the due date? And what to do in this case?
System crash
The first thing to do is calm down. Problems with tax notifications are common today. And if you know how to act, you can avoid many problems.
One of the reasons for the lack of tax payments is a system failure. Information about taxpayers is stored in a special database. With its help, employees of the Federal Tax Service distribute paychecks and monitor taxpayers.
A systemic failure can lead to the fact that some citizens simply do not send the appropriate receipts. But this does not exempt the population from responsibility for their property. Later it will be told about what to do if taxes have not arrived.
Problems in the mail
But this is only the beginning. In fact, there are many explanations why the apartment tax does not come. It all depends on the specific situation.
In some cases, this problem is caused by poor mail performance. As already mentioned, notifications from the Federal Tax Service come in the form of registered letters. Notifications of the need to receive them are sent by mail.
This service is not insured against failures and malfunctions. Sometimes payments:
- delivered to the wrong address;
- are lost;
- may be stolen.
But until November 1, you can not panic. As has already been emphasized, until this time, citizens can calmly wait for payment orders.
Registration
Why didn’t the taxes on the apartment come? Relevant notifications usually come to the citizen at the place of registration. If a person changes his place of residence, then all letters from the tax authorities may not arrive on time.
This phenomenon is associated with the fact that the Federal Tax Service introduces new data on the taxpayer. Therefore, it is possible that:
- taxes came at the old place of residence;
- A notification will be sent to the address of the new registration, but later.
In any case, it is recommended that when changing your place of residence inform the Federal Tax Service about your decision as soon as possible. And if a person is concerned about the lack of a payment for paying property tax, the tax service can always check the status of the mailing list and find out to which address the notification is sent.
New buildings
Why doesn't the tax on a new apartment come? Many citizens of the Russian Federation are moving to new buildings. They strive to change housing to a newer and better one. This step often leads to tax problems.
Residents of new buildings often complain that they do not receive relevant notifications. What to do in this case? And why is this so?
It's simple - the tax authorities simply do not have information about new housing. It takes some time to enter information about taxpayers and their property. Therefore, payments and receipts do not come. Later it will be told what to do in this case.
Website of the Federal Tax Service and "My Account"
Why didn’t the taxes on the apartment come? Since 2016, new laws have been in force in the Russian Federation regarding the notification of the population about debts. What is this about?
Now in the country you can receive notifications not only by mail, but also via the Internet. Do not come taxes on the apartment? Then you should remember whether the taxpayer has a “Personal Account” on the website of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation (nalog.ru). If the corresponding account is available, then a paper notification can not be expected. All taxes will be reported through the "My Account". There you can find data on tax payments, and details for payment. Even the payment will be able to print! Very comfortably!
Recalculations
Why do not taxes on the apartment come? Citizens often discuss this issue among themselves.
Notifications from the tax authorities may not come if the citizen does not need to pay. This happens infrequently. For example, if a person initially paid property tax with overpayment. The rest of the funds was set off in future payments, the Federal Tax Service recalculated. If the results showed that the tax for a given year was paid in full, then a notification will not be sent.
"Public services" - new problems for the population
Do not come taxes on the apartment? What to do? As already mentioned, this scenario is not rare. Citizens are often faced with the fact that tax notifications do not come to them. You will have to act taking into account the reasons for what happened.
Why doesn’t the apartment tax come in? 2016 is a period when citizens faced some changes in the law. They led to the fact that now, under certain circumstances, payments will not come by mail. This is possible if the taxpayer is registered on state websites related to tax services. One of them, as we have already found out, is nalog.ru.
But that is not all. Citizens registered at the State Service will also not receive notifications by mail. It is they who often wonder why the apartment tax does not come.
To such citizens, all information is sent over the Internet. You can find data on debts in the "My Account" on the "State Services". In this case, paper payments are allowed to be printed independently, but it is no longer possible to receive them by mail.
Why does not the tax on a privatized apartment come? Most likely, the person has a profile on the "State Services". Even if the user has not used his account for a long time, they will still be sent notifications precisely through the state portal.The only right decision is to regain access to the profile and study the information in the "My Account".
Absolute freedom
The situation in which taxes on the apartment do not come has become clearer. Based on the foregoing, we can conclude that there are a lot of reasons for this phenomenon.
The next scenario is exemption from apartment tax. Persons with property tax benefits do not receive notice within the time period established by the state.
Who is exempt from the study payment? Today it is:
- elderly people (retirement age);
- veterans;
- disabled people (1 or 2 groups, as well as disabled people from childhood);
- heroes of the country;
- persons engaged in creativity in the object of taxation.
All these categories of citizens do not need to think why the apartment tax does not come. They do not need to make this payment. So the Federal Tax Service will not notify about taxes.
To pay or not?
Perhaps all known situations with the absence of tax notifications have already been studied. But how to behave to the taxpayer? And do you need to think about paying taxes if there are no receipts?
As already mentioned, the lack of payment does not relieve the taxpayer of tax liability. It follows that the money should be transferred to the state treasury. Only without a receipt is this problematic. That is why you need to know how to act in a particular case.
Call
You can find out why taxes on the apartment do not come by making a call to the tax office at your place of residence. This method is used in practice quite often. Especially among those who do not know when it is planned to send out payment orders.
They will tell you exactly on the phone why the notification did not come. Also, a citizen will be able to clarify when it is planned to send receipts for certain taxes. This will help you understand how to proceed. For example, you can wait for a payment or search for it on the Internet in "My Accounts". Or forget about paying taxes for the apartment.
We go to the tax
It should only be taken into account that employees of the Federal Tax Service do not always provide the necessary information by telephone. Typically, tax officials report system failures and notification status. But more accurate information will have to be clarified personally.
A citizen should take an identification card with him (it is better that it be a passport) and SNILS. It is not necessary to present the TIN, but if the taxpayer has this document, you can take it with you.
With a personal visit to the Federal Tax Service, it will be possible not only to find out about the status of the notification mailing, but also to receive a receipt for paying tax even if there are profiles on the website of the Federal Tax Service and the State Service. Employees of the service at the request of the taxpayer are required to print and issue the appropriate payment. A citizen will be able to make a tax in any way convenient for him. For example, through a payment terminal located in the Federal Tax Service.
Limitation of actions
Need to pay apartment tax? Didn’t receive a receipt? Some people are advised to just wait. Even tax officials sometimes say that you can just wait for a tax receipt. But the payment does not come either the next year or another year. Sometimes you can meet people who have not received relevant notifications for 5-10 years. And you can’t get them in any way - either in person at the Federal Tax Service, either by mail or on the Internet.
Such cases do happen. And if employees of the Federal Tax Service say “Wait,” you must first try to find a payment system in “My Accounts” on nalog.ru and gosuslugi.ru. If this did not work out, then it is really necessary to wait and from time to time to contact the tax authorities at registration with a request to print property tax payments.
These payments have a limitation period. Regardless of why the apartment tax does not come, a citizen must pay bills on time. Otherwise, debt will begin to follow him.Even if problems with payment did not occur through the fault of the taxpayer.
The statute of limitations for taxes is 3 years. This means that without timely payment of bills, the Federal Tax Service will be able to demand tax funds from a citizen for the last 36 months.
In other words, if a person does not pay 6 years, then you can claim funds only for the last 3 years. The remaining debt simply burns out. And to recover it does not work.
Summary
Now it’s clear what to do if an apartment tax receipt does not come. And the most common scenarios are also known. The taxpayer should not panic. He will have to figure out the reasons for the lack of notice of payment of property tax. And after that, think about how to act.
In any case, it is recommended that, in the absence of tax notifications, proceed as follows:
- Call the tax office and find out when the distribution of property tax payments is planned.
- Ask if there were any technical issues with the newsletters.
- Check accounts on the website of the Federal Tax Service and on the portal "State Services". Most likely, tax information will be found here.
- Wait for November 1st.
- Come to the Federal Tax Service and ask to print a paycheck to pay tax.
