The procedure for applying tax rate benefits. Tax benefits: concept, types

The Department of Finance of the City of Moscow on the procedure for applying the corporate property tax benefit provided for in paragraph 1 of Article 4.1 of the Moscow City Law No. 64 dated November 5, 2003 “On the corporate property tax” reports the following.

I. On the issue of applying tax benefits to real estate with an area of ​​less than 300 square meters. meters.

Tax benefit in terms of reducing the tax base by the cadastral value of 300 sq. meters of area of ​​real estate per taxpayer in relation to one object, at the taxpayer's choice, also applies to the owner of real estate with a real estate area of ​​less than 300 square meters. meters. In this case, in relation to such real estate, the tax base is assumed to be zero.

This benefit is provided in respect of one piece of real estate at the taxpayer's choice. In accordance with paragraph 1 of Article 378.2 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, the types of real estate recognized as an object of taxation include, in particular, individual premises in administrative, business and shopping centers. Thus, if the taxpayer owns two or more premises in one or more administrative, business and shopping centers with a total area of ​​less than 300 square meters. meters, he has the right to apply this benefit only in relation to one of the premises of his choice.

II. Regarding the conditions for applying the tax benefit in question.

In accordance with Article 11 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, the institutions, concepts and terms of civil, family and other branches of legislation of the Russian Federation used in the Tax Code of the Russian Federation are applied in the meaning in which they are used in these branches of legislation, unless otherwise provided herein Code.

Since the Tax Code of the Russian Federation does not contain the concept of “small business entity,” when determining the right to apply the benefit, it is necessary to be guided by the criteria for classifying business entities as small and micro enterprises established by Article 4 of the Federal Law of July 24, 2007 No. 209-FZ “On the Development of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises.” entrepreneurship".

At the same time, according to paragraph 4 of the said article of the federal law, the category of a small or medium-sized enterprise is changed only if the limit values ​​of the average number of employees and revenue from the sale of goods (work, services) for the previous calendar year are higher or lower than the limit values ​​​​established by law within two calendar years following one after another.

Taking into account the procedure for changing the category of a small business entity, as well as the fact that the condition for granting the tax benefit in question in the current financial year is the average number of employees of the taxpayer for the previous tax period, we consider it sufficient to request documents confirming the average number of employees for the tax period.

In this case, the determination of the average number of employees can be carried out in the manner prescribed by subparagraph 15 of paragraph 3 of Article 346.12 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation for the application of the simplified taxation system.

In addition, this indicator is reflected in information on the average number of employees for the previous calendar year, which, in accordance with Article 80 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, is submitted by the organization (individual entrepreneur who attracted employees during the specified period) to the tax authority no later than January 20 of the current year, and in in case of creation (reorganization) of an organization - no later than the 20th day of the month following the month in which the organization was created (reorganized).

III. Regarding the issue of determining the three calendar years preceding the tax period in which the tax base is subject to reduction.

According to paragraph 3 of Article 6.1 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, a calendar year is not any period of time consisting of 12 consecutive months. Taking into account that the tax period for corporate property tax is a calendar year, the three calendar years preceding the tax period are defined as the three calendar years that preceded the calendar year in which the taxpayer plans to use the corporate property tax benefit. For example, for a taxpayer who plans to use the specified benefit in 2014 (or for a separate quarter of 2014), the three previous calendar years are 2011, 2012 and 2013.

Tax benefits allow taxpayers to reduce their obligations to the budget, or provide the opportunity for complete tax exemption, but subject to certain circumstances. The main purpose of the tax benefit is to create tax preferences for certain entities in order to stimulate their economic growth. When the conditions for tax breaks are introduced by legal acts, the conditions for their application are also provided. In the article we will consider the types of tax benefits for legal entities and individuals, as well as the procedure for their establishment and application.

Conditions for providing tax benefits

Important! One of the principles for providing tax benefits is the principle of mass participation. That is, the benefit should not be provided to one single taxpayer; the right to the benefit should be granted to a certain group of taxpayers (organizations, entrepreneurs, individuals) that are united according to some homogeneous characteristics.

Tax benefits apply to the following tax groups:

  • federal taxes;
  • regional taxes;
  • local taxes of various types, the procedure for application of which is established by local authorities of municipalities.

Types of tax benefits

If a tax benefit is provided for by the provisions of the Tax Code, then it is valid in each region of the Russian Federation. Local authorities cannot make their own adjustments to the tax preferences established by the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. There are the following types of tax benefits:

  1. Complete exemption from tax liability. This relief has a limited scope. An example of this benefit is the imposition of VAT on canteens at educational institutions. The cost of products used to feed students of the institution are not included in the tax base when calculating VAT.
  2. Reducing tax through deductions or introducing a limit. For example, transport tax on a truck. Truck owners are allowed to reduce their tax burden through payments they make to the Platon system.
  3. Tax credit.

Important! Methods of increasing the period for paying taxes, such as deferment or installments, do not constitute a full-fledged tax benefit. But it allows taxpayers to rearrange the schedule of payment of tax obligations to the budget. At the same time, the total amount of tax (debt to the budget) will remain unchanged.

How tax exemption occurs:

  • the taxpayer is provided with tax holidays that have a certain period;
  • tax amnesties are carried out, in which the debtor is forgiven penalties and fines, and the principal tax debt is partially written off;
  • taxation occurs at a reduced interest rate.

Tax benefits for individuals

For individuals, all types of tax benefits can only be applied in the following cases:

  • an individual has a certain status of a beneficiary, belongs to a certain category of citizens (for example, disabled people);
  • an individual’s income is not subject to income tax;
  • an individual spends money for certain purposes, which allows him to return tax on this amount;
  • An individual owns an object of movable or immovable property that is not subject to taxation (Read also article ⇒).

Types of tax benefits for individuals

Tax benefits for individuals are provided for by the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. Among them are:

  1. Tax deductions. This type of tax benefit allows you to avoid paying tax on an amount that is allocated for certain purposes, provided that payment has already been made. This happens as follows. An individual pays certain needs that fall under the specified category, after which he presents a supporting document and his income is exempt from income tax. There are 3 types of tax deductions: standard, social and property. Standard ones are provided to all individuals who receive income and have children. It is provided monthly and its amount depends on the status of the child and parent. Social deductions are provided for expenses incurred by an individual for study, treatment, etc. These deductions have a limit on the amount. Property deductions are provided when purchasing a home, as well as when selling cars and real estate. When purchasing a home, the taxpayer receives a tax refund, and when selling, he will be exempt from paying tax on the income received.
  2. Property tax benefit. An individual who owns any property is required to pay tax on it. However, in certain cases, real estate may be removed from the list of taxable objects. Property taxes include: premises tax, car tax and land tax. Any premises, including residential premises, owned by an individual must be taxed. However, if the owner of the premises has a certain status, then he is exempt from paying tax. The car tax is set by local authorities, and an individual is exempt from paying the tax if his car does not meet certain characteristics (load capacity, horsepower, etc.). All land plots are subject to land tax, but if certain conditions are met, an individual is exempt from paying this tax.

Important! Tax benefits are provided both on a permanent basis, for a limited period of time, while the circumstances that caused these benefits remain in effect.

Who can receive a tax benefit for a legal entity?

In order for a legal entity to pay taxes on benefits, you will need to contact the tax office for their registration. The procedure will be as follows:

  1. Collect the necessary documents and submit them to the tax office at the place of registration.
  2. When applying, fill out an application for a certain benefit, which indicates the form of ownership. The application and documents are submitted on behalf of the director, founder, deputy or chief accountant.
  3. Expect a decision within 10-15 days.

Important! A company can change its type of activity and choose a simplified taxation system or another special regime. In this case, they will be able to receive complete exemption from certain taxes.

Documents required to obtain tax benefits

When applying to the tax office to receive a tax benefit, in addition to the application, you will need to prepare the following documents:

  • OGRN certificate;
  • Director's passport;
  • Declarations for the last tax period;
  • Reports on the company's recent activities;
  • Constituent documents;
  • Certificate of ownership of the property;
  • Documents confirming the right to deduction.

How to apply for a tax benefit for an individual

To receive a tax benefit, an individual must contact the tax office. Excluding standard deductions, their receipt is formalized by the employer by submitting an application and documents confirming the right to deduction.

To receive a benefit, you will need to provide a package of documents to the tax office, which will depend on which category of benefit recipients the individual belongs to. Among the documents are the following:

  • passport;
  • pensioner's certificate;
  • certificate of family composition;

Thus, receiving tax benefits by legal entities and individuals is a right, not an obligation, and their registration does not present any particular difficulties.

They apply to many categories of citizens, such as disabled people and WWII participants, young and large families, disabled people or families raising a disabled person.

5. Investment tax deductions, which are provided to individuals who have individual investment accounts and positive financial results for a certain payment period. This deduction corresponds to the amount that was contributed for the previous financial year. But the amount of this benefit should not exceed 400,000 rubles. To receive this assistance, you need to submit a 3-NDFL declaration to the tax authority. The payment period is one tax year.

This benefit can be obtained by lawyers, intellectual property owners, notaries and persons engaged in entrepreneurial activities. These categories can receive a benefit in the amount of 20% of the income they receive.

7. To receive this investment deduction, you need to apply to a tax agent, providing him with a declaration in form 3-NDFL. The taxpayer must do all this by April 30. And by June 15 he will receive the desired amount.

To obtain it, you need to contact the Ministry of Taxes of the Russian Federation and submit the relevant documents indicating that tax payments were made in another state. Taxes will not be collected from such a person again in the Russian Federation.
