Funny tax

The term of payment of the transport tax was postponed on April 1 from next year. Capital motorists will be able to pay the transport tax later. According to the First Deputy Head of the Department of Economic Policy and Development of the capital Valery Zharov, taxpayers-organization will pay tax no later than February 5 of the year, and individuals will have to pay bloody people no later than April 1. Corresponding amendments to the Law "On Transport Tax" were adopted at yesterday's meeting of the Moscow City Duma.

“I, right, is a little embarrassed by a similar date - on April 1 - in view of the established stereotypes in our society,” said MGD deputy Alexander Krutov. “It would be better to transfer the deadlines to the Yuryev day, but I think there will be no particular difference for people.”

Nevertheless, Valery Zharov explained that the establishment of a later tax payment is made so that the tax service is able to provide a notification after the year. According to him, earlier taxpayers had to receive a notification of tax paying no later than June 1. However, in the case of registration or re -registration of the vehicle in the second half of the year, difficulties arose with the execution of tax documents. "There was a complexity of additional tax notifications," Valery Zharov explained.

In order not to burden the life of car owners, the capital's authorities decided to refuse to introduce reporting periods and advance payments for taxpayers-organizational. According to Valery Zharov, "a similar step could only lead to a significant increase in the number of reporting and payment documents and would not have a significant impact on the uniform receipt of the transport tax during the year."

Capital motorists have another reason to rejoice. By the will of chance, at the last moment, one was excluded from the amendments, threatening to shake the nervous system of car owners with an engine of less than 70 hp. According to the current legislation, individuals falling under this category are not subject to taxation. If the amendment had been adopted, then in the best spirit of the bureaucratic bureaucracy such car owners would still be sent a notification of tax payment. The last, according to the plan, would have to write a response to exemption from payment due to their preferential status.

To whom exactly the same extraordinary idea came to mind, they did not establish at the meeting, however, the purpose of such a “correspondence” of citizens with tax authorities, as it turned out, would be the identification of the exact number of this category of car owners. “But indeed, now they have nothing to be sent. They are all in us in the computer database, ”Valery Zharov agreed embarrassedly.
