Property tax: what to do if you count too much

Here are the references

If you see that there is a large amount in the payment, check the receipt. To do this, go to the website www.nalog.ru… In the “Service” section, find the “Tax Calculator” tab. Fill in all the required fields (region where the property is located, tax period, cadastral number). Are the numbers in the payment system and on the website the same? Most likely, an error in the cadastral value of the property. The size of the tax now depends on it. Go to the Rosreestr website and find out how your property was evaluated.

You will need the “State Cadastral Valuation Data Fund” section. By specifying the cadastral number, you will see all the information about the change in value. Please note that by law it can be revised once every 4 years. The exception is the cities of federal significance, in such settlements, a revaluation is possible once every two years.

The price can change for various reasons, for example, a metro station or a railway platform was built near your house. This has improved transport links, which means that the cost per square meter has increased. Nothing of the kind happened, but the cadastral value increased? It can be challenged.

Looking for the truth

The grounds for the dispute are incorrect initial data about the object, which were taken into account during the assessment. For example, the wrong material of the walls of the house, the height of the ceilings are indicated. Another reason – the cadastral value is higher than the market value, this cannot be. In order to correct the error, it will be necessary to conduct an independent examination. It is paid. Next, you have to contact the commission to challenge the cadastral valuation. This can be done in person (the addresses are on the Rosreestr website), by mail or through the MFC. You must provide:

– an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate on the cadastral value of the object;

– a copy of the title or title document for the property;

– a report on the assessment of the market value;

– statement.

If the error is confirmed

In the case when it turns out that the cadastral value is overestimated, the tax will be recalculated for the entire period during which the incorrect estimate was used.

By the way, if we are talking about an apartment building, then if an inaccuracy is found in relation to one object, a recalculation is carried out for the entire building. Sometimes it turns out that the estimate is underestimated. In this case, the previously charged tax is not recalculated, but the changes are taken into account in the future.

Note

All capital real estate objects are taken into account in tax notices: apartments, rooms, houses, garages. But all owners are entitled to a deduction – the number of meters, which is not taxed. The room is 10 sq. m, in an apartment of 20 sq. m, in the house – 50 sq. m. It is not worth postponing payment, since penalties will be charged for each day of delay.
