What is land tax for individuals?

Land tax is a tax levied on individuals who own land plots on the right of ownership, the right of permanent (perpetual) use or the right of lifelong inheritable possession.

The tax is not levied on individuals in relation to land plots held by them under the right of free use or transferred to them under a lease agreement.

Land plots of the following categories are not subject to taxation:

included in the common property of an apartment building
limited in circulation in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation, which are occupied by especially valuable objects of cultural heritage of the peoples of the Russian Federation, objects included in the World Heritage List, historical and cultural reserves, objects of archaeological heritage, museum-reserves

Land tax belongs to the category of local taxes and, as a result, rates are established by regulatory legal acts of representative bodies of municipalities.

Who doesn't pay land tax

Individuals and organizations leasing land plots or owning them under the right of free, fixed-term use.

In addition, the Tax Code contains a closed list of taxpayers exempt from land tax. The list includes religious organizations (in relation to sites under church and charitable buildings); public organizations of disabled people (in relation to sites used for statutory activities); any enterprises in relation to land occupied by public public roads and a number of other categories. This list is valid in all areas without exception.

In addition, each municipality has the right to additionally establish its own benefits.

Don’t be afraid to close this tab; all transactions through the online service are automatically saved in history.

Having a printer nearby, you can immediately print out a receipt, which will be no different from the document offered at the box office.

Service fee

Land tax refers to payments that are not subject to Sberbank commission upon payment. This is the advantage of such payments through this banking institution. The speed of the procedure is minimal.

When to transfer money

Taxpayer organizations transfer land tax no later than March 1 of the year following the tax period.

Automatically generate a tax payment invoice based on the data from the declaration and submit reports via the Internet

Municipalities may introduce reporting periods for land tax. These are the first, second and third quarters, respectively. In areas where reporting periods have been introduced, companies must make advance payments throughout the year. The amount of such payment is one fourth of the cadastral value as of January 1, multiplied by the rate. Advance payments must be made no later than the last day of the month following the reporting period. When paying the final tax amount, advance payments made during the year must be taken into account. Municipalities that have introduced reporting periods have the right to exempt certain categories of taxpayer organizations from advance payments.

Taxpayers - individuals (including individual entrepreneurs) do not make advance payments for land tax. They only remit the total tax amount stated in the notice. The deadline for payment of land tax by individuals is specified directly in the Tax Code of the Russian Federation - no later than December 1 of the year following the expiration (regardless of the subject of the Russian Federation).

In addition, individuals (including individual entrepreneurs) can voluntarily make the so-called single tax payment of an individual. To do this, you simply need to transfer a certain amount to the appropriate Federal Treasury account. The money will be written off to fulfill the obligation to pay “property” taxes, including land tax. The inspection itself will decide how to offset the funds: against upcoming payments or towards payment of arrears.

At a bank branch

For those who are not comfortable with innovative technologies, you can pay land tax not through Sberbank Online, but at a bank branch. The calculation will take a little longer than in the methods described above.

To make a payment, you need to go to the nearest bank branch and contact the cashier. The transaction can be made using a bank card or cash. To work, the cashier will need the payer's passport, a tax receipt and a bank card or an amount of cash corresponding to the amount of the tax. If you do not have a receipt, you can find it on the official website of the Federal Tax Service.
