Many of us have a car in use and know that the law provides for a special tax to own it. It is called transport. As in most taxes, it provides exceptions and benefits for certain types of technical means and for certain categories of citizens. If we consider the article of the law on transport tax, then there are no speeches about the benefits. But there is a reservation. Its meaning lies in the fact that the authorities in the regions have the right to introduce tax incentives for transport tax. Most of the subjects of the Russian Federation have realized this opportunity. Typically, transport tax benefits are established for certain categories of people. They are veterans of the Great Patriotic War, fighting, heroes of the USSR and Russia, invalids of the first and second groups, and others. In addition, exemption from payment of tax have some modes of transport. An example is a low-power transport. Each region has the right to impose certain benefits on the payment of transport tax. The generalized list for tax indulgence is not present. If you have any questions about whether you are entering the category that is covered by the transport tax benefits, you should study the law of the region where your vehicle is registered .
What tax is not paid for
The law prescribes a time, which indicates which vehicles do not fall under the payment of tax. This boat is oar and motor with an engine no more powerful than five horsepower, a car for the disabled, cars with a capacity of up to a hundred horsepower, received with the help of social protection agencies, fishing vessels: sea and river. Also, if your car is wanted, and you showed it to the document issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, then you are also exempt from tax.
Features when obtaining benefits
If we consider the resolution on the exemption for transport tax by region, the characteristic feature will be that in most cases the benefits are given to one car with a capacity not exceeding two hundred horsepower. If you own two cars, then one of them must be paid in any case. Choose for payment the one in which there is less horsepower. The second car will get under privileges under the transport tax. The same will work properly if you fall into Two or three categories of individuals at once, who are eligible for benefits. An example is the situation where one and the same person is a disabled veteran and one of the parents in a large family. He can receive benefits as a parent or as a disabled person. If you do not have documents for benefits from the beginning of the year, but, for example, from the middle, then for the time when you were not considered a beneficiary, you have to pay the tax in full.
How to get benefits for transport tax
To do this, you should contact the inspection of the region where your car is registered. You write a statement that you have the right to receive benefits (specify the basis) on the vehicle (specify the machine data). To the application, attach copies of documents that confirm your right to tax relief. You can send the documents by mail or be taken personally.
