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.
Filling out a transport tax return for legal entities
Organizations, regardless of their legal form, do not have to worry about receiving receipts. They have their own procedure, which consists of filling out a declaration. The company's accounting department itself calculates the amount of the fee payable, taking into account amendments to regulations.
The declaration contains several sections:
- Title page - all information about the legal entity will be entered on it.
- Section I - informs tax authorities about the payment amount that the organization is going to pay.
- Section II - indicates the procedure for calculating state duty.
If a company owns several cars, then there is no need to fill out separate declarations for each car. The document is submitted in one copy for all vehicles owned by the legal entity.
In addition, there are some features of filling out the declaration:
- The form can be filled out manually or printed.
- When choosing the manual filling method, it is prohibited to use pens with colored paste (green, red, etc.). The document is filled out using pens with blue, black or purple ink.
- Double-sided printing of the declaration is prohibited. Each section must be printed out on a separate sheet of paper. Each sheet must be numbered.
- It is not allowed to correct the data entered on the form using an eraser or a proofreader. However, if there is a need to correct old information, these changes must be certified by the applicants by their signature on the document.
- One character is entered into one cell. Space is also a symbol.
- If, when calculating the amount of the state duty, it is calculated in rubles and kopecks, the latter are not recorded. If the amount is below 50 kopecks, then it is not paid. If it is higher, then it is rounded to the nearest ruble (for example, if the total amount is 1800 rubles. 60 kopecks, then 1801 rubles are payable).
- All information is entered into the document in capital block letters.
You can learn more about how to fill out the declaration correctly in order to avoid significant errors in Order of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation dated December 5, 2021 No. ММВ-7-21/ [email protected] . The same order also contains a form attached, which can be downloaded directly from the legal document.
Payment Methods
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. In such a situation, the portal acts as an intermediary between citizens and the Federal Tax Service.

Often, receipts do not reach car owners, which is due to the negligence of tax inspectors, software failures or other reasons. Therefore, until December 1, citizens do not receive a notification containing payment details. If you fail to make a payment, large fines and penalties will be assessed, which negatively affects the finances of citizens. Therefore, it is possible to pay tax without a receipt. You can get the information you need in different ways:
- applying to the Federal Tax Service department with a passport, after which the inspection employee issues details and advises on methods of making payment;
- taxes are paid through the State Services website without entering details, but this requires an authorized personal account, and the “Federal Tax Service” section is initially selected, and then the free information service is ordered;

What happens for late payment?
Late payment of transport tax is punishable by special penalties. Even a small delay will cost you extra money and time to solve this problem.
What is the liability for overdue tax:
- accrual of penalties for each overdue day (Part 1 of Article 75 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation);
- deduction of debt from the debtor’s official income (salary, pension, unemployment benefits);
- a fine of 20 percent of the debt with a penalty;
- restriction of travel abroad of the Russian Federation - with a debt of 10 thousand rubles;
- arrest and seizure of property;
- withdrawal of funds - applies only to legal entities. persons
The initiators of such actions may be the tax service or the bailiff service. In some cases, the decision to impose liability in the form of seizure of cash and property is made by a judicial authority.
According to paragraph 2 of Art. 44 or clause 4 of Art. 57 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, a fine for transport tax can be charged only after the notification is received personally by the citizen.
If a notice is received and the amount of money is not transferred on time, the penalty is calculated using the following formula:
The amount of tax per one transport unit x the number of overdue days x 1/300 of the refinancing rate established by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation = penalty.

You can use government services on the website only after authorization. To do this, a new account is created, which is identified in the Pension Fund or Federal Tax Service department, as well as in other government agencies where you need to apply with a passport.

Selecting a payment method
There is no option to pay the fee on the site itself, so a third-party method is chosen. Through the State Services portal, transport tax is paid in the following ways:
- Bank card. To do this, indicate the basic details of the available plastic. Some banks charge a fee for this transaction.

How to get a receipt

It can be requested from Federal Tax Service employees during a personal visit to the department. Additionally, you can receive a receipt in electronic form on the website of the State Services or the Federal Tax Service, after which the document is printed.
Information contained in the receipt
After making the calculations, the Federal Tax Service sends a notification to the address of the car tax payer about the need to pay state duty and directly the receipt itself to the address where the car owner is registered. The notification must necessarily contain information about the body that sent the notification (full name of the government agency, reference data for communication), information about the car tax payer (full name, place of residence), the region in which the tax is collected, the amount payable , deadline for payment. In addition, at the end of the document there is a warning about penalties for non-fulfillment or late payment, indicating the interest rate of the penalty.

- Other details (BIK, KBK, KPP, OKTMO, etc.).

For example, if payment is made through a bank application, you can select the appropriate payment method, point your phone or tablet camera at the QR code, and all details are calculated automatically. You will only need to confirm the payment. When making a payment through a terminal equipped with a scanner, you need to bring the receipt to the scanner, directly bringing the code closer to it. The device reads the necessary information, including the payment amount. The owner of the car only needs to enter his TIN in the terminal. In some cases, the driver's license number and passport information may be requested.
