How to reduce transport tax

Choose a car with low power. If you are choosing between a car with a power of 150 and 180 horsepower, it is better to choose the first option. For the first car, the rate for each horsepower is 3.5 rubles, for the second – 5 rubles.

Give up an expensive car. If the car is more expensive than 3 million rubles, the tax office will add an increasing factor. Another option is to find a car that the tax office did not include in the list of expensive ones.

Register your car in a region with a low rate. Here are examples of bets on cars from 150 to 200 horsepower:

Region Rate per 1 hp, rub.
Moscow 50
Penza region 45
Tyumen region 38
The Republic of Dagestan 35
Sverdlovsk region 32,7

Features of payment of transport tax

Every vehicle owner must pay transport tax in 2021 .

Please note that we are talking specifically about the owners, and not about persons using cars by proxy.

This article will not discuss in detail the calculation of transport tax. In short, its size depends only on the car’s engine, or more precisely on its power (measured in horsepower). To find the tax amount, you should multiply the engine power (in hp) by the transport tax rate established for a particular region.

How to calculate transport tax?

In addition, there are a number of benefits that allow you to reduce the amount of transport tax. Tax benefits are also established individually for each subject of the Russian Federation.

Note. In any case, the tax is calculated by the tax office, so there is no need to calculate it yourself.

What happens if you don't pay

Ignore the request. If you do not pay, the Federal Tax Service will record the debts and send a demand for payment within three months. The document will indicate the date by which the tax must be paid. According to the law, an individual has 8 working days to do this. If you don’t pay tax for another two months, the money will be debited from your bank account by a court decision unilaterally.

It happens that by mistake the tax receipt does not arrive. This doesn't mean you don't need to pay. Check the accruals on the Autotax website or in your personal account on nalog.ru. If there are no notifications there either, you will have to contact the tax office at your place of residence and submit an application on the tax reporting form KND 1153006 “Notification of the availability of property or vehicles.”

In 2021, taxes must be paid by December 1st. If you have not received a notification or requirement by December 1, 2021, contact the tax office.

Hide property. If the tax office finds out that the owner has hidden the fact of owning the car, they will still be required to pay and will add 20% to the tax amount.
