How to find out how much a title for a car costs? Tax calculation parameters, amount and method of payment of state duty

The concept of the subject

For motor vehicles, the duty is charged:

• for registering a car;
• for issuing a Russian and/or international driving license;
• for issuing documents, including duplicates of documents;
• for issuing license plates, including transit plates;
• for making changes to the vehicle passport.

Payers of state duty are:

• individuals who are owners of movable property;
• legal entities whose balance sheet contains movable property registered in accordance with the established procedure.

The amount of state duty collected for performing any actions is established by Article 333.33 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

Payment of the fee is made by property owners before contacting the traffic police or other organizations.

Reasons for replacing a document

So, the vehicle title is the main document required for:

• car registration;
• sales, donations, inheritance, rent, etc.;
• issuing an MTPL insurance policy.

The absence of a PTS does not allow the owner to perform these actions. If the document is missing for some reason, then you need to obtain a duplicate.

A duplicate PTS is issued for the following reasons:

• The original document was lost by the owner. Many car owners carry their title with them, which leads to its loss;
• the original PTS was stolen;
• the document has become unusable due to wear and other factors. The information specified in the document cannot be read;
• There are no free fields in the vehicle passport to indicate the registration data of the new car owner when the owner of the movable property changes.

Changes are made to the PTS (that is, the document is not replaced with a duplicate, and additional information is indicated in special marks), under the following circumstances:

• making any changes to the design of road transport. For example, when replacing an engine, installing xenon headlights, and so on;
• when changing the surname or changing the address of the owner.

If necessary, the PTS can be replaced at the registration department of the traffic police after providing the following documents:

• a written statement indicating the reasons for changing the title. The application can be submitted directly to the traffic police (on a first-come, first-served basis or by appointment) or online through the government services website;
• passport of the car owner or passport of the representative of the car owner. If an application is submitted by a representative, a written power of attorney is additionally required;

If the owner of the car is an individual, then the power of attorney is certified by a notary. If the owner of the car is a legal entity, then the power of attorney is signed by the manager.

• registration certificate for the car, issued after registration with the traffic police;
• a copy of the PTS (if preserved) in case of loss or theft of the document and the original vehicle passport in all other cases;
• a valid compulsory car insurance policy;
• a receipt confirming the advance payment of the state duty in accordance with the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

Causes

A vehicle passport is the main document for a car, containing all technical information about it and information about the owner (including previous ones).

When performing any legal actions with a car, all information specified in the PTS must match the real car and the owner’s data. Therefore, it is important, when changing the vehicle or driver’s data, to make appropriate changes to the passport.

Changes are made to the vehicle passport in the following cases:

• when changing the owner's surname;
• when the owner of the car changes;
• change of place of registration;
• when painting a car or changing its components (replacing a body, engine, etc.).

As soon as any of the above has happened, you should collect a package of documents and go to your district traffic police department.

You need to provide:

1. Passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation (if there are changes, it must contain new data);
2. PTS;
3. STS;
4. MTPL policy (current);
5. A document on the basis of which changes are made (if a change of name - a certificate, marriage or divorce certificate; if a change of owner - a purchase and sale agreement, gift, etc.);
6. In case of changes in parts or design of the car, an expert opinion and inspection by inspection staff are required
7. Statement.

As for the application that is attached to the package of documents, it is better to write it in advance, so as not to make mistakes later and not waste extra time at the department.

A sample application can be obtained from the official website of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate. In the application, the main thing is to correctly enter all your data and the data on the vehicle, and also indicate the reason for the changes being made - a change in the owner’s data, a change of owner, or changes to the design of the car.

It is worth considering that when changing registration, in addition to changes in the PTS, the driver will also have to register the car at the new address.

If the changes made to the PTS do not concern the owner’s passport data, everything can be processed if you have a driver’s license instead of a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation.

The process itself will not take much time and in the best case you will receive your PTS on the same day, although sometimes the procedure can take up to 30 days.

Another caveat is that changes must be made to the car’s passport within 10 days after the reason for this occurs, otherwise the owner will face fines for driving with an invalid title.

But in order for your papers to be accepted for making changes to the PTS, you must attach a receipt for payment of the fee for traffic police services.

The owner of the car has the opportunity to obtain a duplicate of the vehicle passport, in which case this is not considered a replacement. This is due to the fact that the document will be marked accordingly, and the reason for issuing the new form will also be indicated.

The payer has the right to independently choose the most convenient method of paying the state duty. The payment method does not affect the final result (receipt of a duplicate PTS).

Is it possible to pay with a discount?

The car enthusiast has the opportunity to pay the state duty with a discount of 30% of the fee. Only persons who have registered on the State Services portal and make payments using the official website will be able to use it. The algorithm of actions will look like this:

2. Go through the authorization process;
3. Click on “Service Catalog”;
4. Go to the “Transport” tab;
5. Select the line “Vehicle registration”;

The receipt must be printed, but essentially it is not necessary to present it, since traffic police officers have the technical ability to check the payment for services through a single electronic database.

How should organizations pay?

Legal entities can pay state fees in two ways:

1. From the company's current account. After the payment is made, the servicing bank issues a payment order, which indicates the details of the recipient and payer, the purpose of the payment and the amount.
2. In cash at a bank branch. To pay in cash you will need:
   an expenditure order issued by the accounting department of the enterprise and confirming the intended purpose of the funds received;
3. power of attorney for payment from the head of the company.

After paying in cash, the authorized person receives a bank check, additionally confirming payment of the duty. All three specified documents are provided to the traffic police.

Failure to pay the state fee when replacing the PTS and performing other actions at the traffic police is a legal basis for receiving a refusal to provide the service, that is, the absence of a receipt will not allow the PTS to be replaced if necessary.

Where you can see the date of issue of the PTS is shown in the article: where to look at the date of issue of the PTS.

How to pay

Payment for government services is available in several ways:

• at the cash desk of any bank;

• via terminal;
• in online banks, etc.

The main difference is payment in cash or non-cash. The second option is dangerous because a check without a wet stamp may not be accepted at the traffic police department, despite modern money circulation technologies.

Therefore, just in case, find out this in advance at your branch, so that you don’t have to go to banks with an online payment receipt to get a stamp.

Online

2. On the official website of the traffic police. To make a payment, you also need to register on the site. After this, you need to select “Car owners” in the “Traffic participants” section.

   
   Next, on the page that opens, click on the third item (change registration data):

   
   But you can’t directly pay the fee through the traffic police website, so it redirects to the State portal class=”aligncenter” width=”500″ height=”502″[/img] And then, as in point 1

3. Through Sberbank. This bank has its own system for making online transactions. To do this, you need to have a Sberbank card and register (log in) at online.sberbank.ru. Next, select the “Transfers and Payments” item and find in it the state duty for the traffic police (the names of the points may vary slightly depending on the region). Follow the prompts on the screen and enter the traffic police details correctly. Next, enter your details and the amount of state duty. Confirm the payment via SMS and receive an electronic receipt, which should be printed.
4. Through other banks and online resources. At the moment, there are many online platforms for making payment of state fees, and you can choose any one at your discretion.

Cash

Cash payment for state duty is carried out in:

• cash desk of any bank;
• traffic police office;
• Sberbank terminal;
• at the Russian post office.

To pay the state duty at the bank's cash desk, you must present your passport and name the type of state duty (sometimes it is better to have the details of your traffic police department with you).

The operator will enter all the data and issue a receipt. If you have already printed out the receipt, simply give it to the operator along with the money, he will stamp it with payment.

To pay at the traffic police department, you must have a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation with you. Most often, inspections install payment terminals through which you can deposit money for the service. There will be clear instructions on the screen for making a payment.
