Taxation of individuals is reduced to taxeson income and property taxes. In the section of the tax code, which deals with the taxation of natural persons, issues of tax reporting are discussed.
Income tax
Every working citizen is obliged to paythe state a percentage of its salary. So it is accepted all over the world. Turning to the history and world practice of applying income tax, its purpose has always been to ensure that the state treasury receives more contributions from financially secured citizens and less from the poor. In Russia today, the taxation of individuals is conducted in such a way that you can not say that the income tax has such a feature (13% of almost any income is the same for all). During the existence of the Soviet Union, despite the fact that all were considered equal and there were no rich people (that is, they did not officially recognize that there is such a stratum of the population), a law was passed that exempted workers from such a tax. Today we are back almost to what we left.
And there's nothing to be done, the expenses of the stateare so great (military, social payments, debts) that the tax collections are not enough. To this extent, civilized, developed countries also resort. This is partly why they are considered so.
Today the taxation of individuals in the Russian Federationoriented more or less on the opportunities of citizens. There is a car - pay a transport tax; there is an apartment - property tax. You earn well - replenish the treasury. You earn badly - pay anyway.
The ratio of wages and taxes today is setin percentages. The higher the salary, the greater the amount of tax deductions from the salary in the account of this type of tax (income tax). The law also provides for various possibilities to reduce this amount. These include tax deductions (available to certain categories of citizens, single mothers, for example). Here, among the possibilities for reducing the tax, there is also a return (if it has been spent heavily on serious needs, for example, housing), costs associated with entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship is now actively encouraged by the state, part of the spent will come back, however, many documents will have to be collected.
Taxation of individualsthe moment of adoption of the basic laws, of which the modern tax system has developed. This happened throughout the 90-ies: from disparate laws, we gradually came to the tax code.
Under the RF Tax Code, almost all types of income (one-time and permanent) are taxed. But there are some types of income that constitute an exception to the rules - these are benefits, pensions, compensation.
Taxation of property of individuals
If you have anya vehicle (even a hydrocycle) you are required to pay a transport tax. The body that registered your transport will submit information to the tax, and from there you will receive a receipt with the calculated amount of tax.
Residential and non-residential buildings (except for gardensites) that are in your property are also taxed. It is calculated in tax according to statutory rates and in the form of a receipt for payment, sooner or later it will come to you. Some categories of citizens are freed from it (pensioners, families of dead servicemen, victims of radiation, disabled, heroes of the USSR).
