How to pay land tax to individuals and legal entities?

Transport tax is paid by all car owners. The size of the payment depends on the characteristics of the car, and is therefore calculated individually for each taxpayer. Citizens do not make payments on their own, so they receive ready-to-pay receipts from the Federal Tax Service. Different methods are used for payment, but not everyone knows how to pay transport tax through State Services. This method has many advantages, since you do not need to leave your home and there is no commission.

When is the fee paid?

Individuals who have a car receive ready-made receipts from Federal Tax Service employees. To ensure that the calculations are correct, they can use special online calculators. The receipt contains the following information:

personal data of the payer;
the amount that must be paid to pay the fee;
debt and penalties;
the deadline by which payment must be made.

Attention! Individual entrepreneurs, like individuals, do not have to independently calculate the fee and submit declarations, unlike companies.

Tax notices are sent to citizens at the end of summer, but no later than a month before the deadline for making payments. Therefore, the last documents are sent before November 1st. If citizens have not received the document by the end of December, they can contact the tax office to obtain the document or details.

If a citizen uses his personal account on the Federal Tax Service website, he does not receive notifications. The same applies to real estate tax for an apartment or other property, so you will have to receive notifications and details through this account. Car owners are required to pay the tax by December 1 of each year. Otherwise, fines and penalties will be assessed.

Tax payment methods for legal entities

Legal entities are subject to the most stringent requirements for payment of tax payments. And for this there is only one possible way to do this - a non-cash transfer of the amount to the budget to the tax authorities from a bank account. If a legal entity has several valid bank accounts, money can be transferred from any of them.

To make a payment to pay a tax assessment, you must have a payment order. This document is filled out according to general requirements. It displays the following information:

Code, name and address of the Federal Tax Service;
Taxable period;
company tax identification number;
Date of payment and purpose of payment.

A legal entity can create a payment order directly on the official website of the tax authority by going to the appropriate section. During the preparation of this document, he needs to indicate the data and details himself, or select from the drop-down list if this option is available. If the client-bank program is installed on your work computer, you can carry out a payment transaction without leaving the threshold of your own home. As a rule, banks provide this opportunity to legal entities whose activities are directly related to those of a large organization.

If you do not have a current account, this procedure will not be possible. In particular, this applies to the situation when an individual pays a fee for a legal entity. Cash payments for tax repayment are accepted only from ordinary citizens. Even if a bank employee accepts the receipt, the deposited amount is unlikely to be taken into account by tax authorities as tax revenue.

Nuances

But this requirement has a small exception, the essence of which is that if the organization is at the stage of closure and the current account is declared invalid by a court order. But at the same time, there are open debts to the tax service; only the liquidator can pay debts on the land plot. Moreover, it must be officially appointed. In this case, the legal entity will also have to contact the tax authority to get the payment credited to repay the existing debt.

Enterprises and organizations, as well as individuals, are obliged to transfer funds to the budget of the entity on whose territory the land plot in their ownership is located. If there are 2 or more plots that are located in different parts of the city, the money must be transferred to the appropriate branches of the tax service.

Legal entities are the only category of taxpayers for whom a quarterly procedure for making payments has been established. That is, a receipt will be sent to legal entities 4 times a year. Their total amount = the tax amount established for them. You need to know that in addition to paying tax on a land plot, legal entities have another immediate task - preparing and timely filing a tax return.

This document displays the amounts of advance payments made and the final tax. Information on the calculation of these indicators, which is used by tax officials, is also provided.

Citizens who need to pay taxes can use different methods:

State Services Portal. If you identify your account, you can view all taxes, debts and make payments on the website. You can pay property tax for individuals online through State Services, as well as pay transport, land taxes and other taxes.

Federal Tax Service website. Typically, citizens prefer to pay the transport fee on the tax office website. To do this, you need to register and log in to the site, and you will first have to come to the service branch to receive a login and password. Obtaining information about the tax amount is quite simple, since it is reflected in your personal account. Payment documentation is also generated here, and taxes can also be paid.

To do this, select the tab that allows you to pay taxes or fines. You can easily find a receipt using your Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), as well as using a barcode, details or QR. A receipt confirming timely payment will remain attached.
Yandex.Money or other services. Some sites charge a large commission, so before paying out money, it is recommended to make sure that the chosen service is profitable.
Personal visit to a bank or Federal Tax Service branch. Such methods are suitable for people who do not save time, and therefore are willing to allocate approximately 30 minutes or several hours, since in these organizations a significant queue often forms.
Using ATMs. To make a payment, you need to insert a card into the device, as well as provide the correct details, which can be viewed on the notification received from the Federal Tax Service.

The choice of a specific method depends on the wishes and capabilities of the taxpayer.
