Property tax - the controversy continues

Already in 2012, may impose a tax on real estate in the 12 pilot regions. This position was voiced at meetings of the Ministry of Economic Development, as reported by the head of the evaluation of real estate Rosreestra Alex Shteynikov. Throughout this tax is intended to introduce in 2013. Taxable objects in the mass re-written, the method of cadastral valuation is, it remains only to come up with a tax rate and can be sent fiscal kvitochki taxpayers. What is really threatening the owners of expensive and not very real estate? Written about it many times, and I want to say that the main bugbear - "will pay ten times more!" - Not true. Analysts' Investkafe "headed by Yuri Kochetkov tried to make out details of the threat posed by a new tax. First, the tax would replace the three old sales tax, property taxes of legal persons, natural persons and a land tax. At the same time falling revenues should not be. That is all that will underpay businesses - will be for them to give the citizens. Now as to why the company will pay less, and more citizens. The thing is the uniformity of the land (that is, close to the market) valuation. From the perspective of the market, real estate people per square kilometer. meter costs much more than the property of a plant. Earlier was the cost of BTI, it is actually expensive, which is still, where there is an object and its surroundings. The growth of payments to citizens will not be dozens of times, but quite noticeable. Secondly, according to Alexei Shteynikova, evaluation will be conducted separately for land and buildings separately to, and not on the concept of a single object. The reason is that the agencies have not been able to form a single object in the inventory of "land + buildings on it" because of the inconsistencies of legal rights. "Who wins here? Benefit those who have real estate in expensive places, but there is a large land area. Generally speaking, a strong benefit to the owner of the office on the 21st floor of the complex in the heart of Moscow, for which there is simply no land (hence, no payment). Who will pay tax on it? Anyone who owns vacant lots in downtown. Or on the ruble / Novorizhke ", - says Yuri Kochetkov, an analyst" Investkafe. " Third, it is assumed that the tax will be exempted from the poor and owners of small properties. If the authorities do not change the decision, it will split property in order to "jump" from the tax. If it persists, then all the rest of the citizens will pay a bit more, because we have the principle nevypadeniya revenues from the budget. Fourth, it is assumed that the inventory estimate can be challenged on the basis of past transactions for the object. Of course, if the transaction is not a sham and does not pass on artificially low price. For citizens, this means the need to keep themselves in contracts on past transactions or transactions with the closest analogues. In the case of excessive inventory estimate it will be the only way to bring down his tax, as the system of appeals courts and in the next couple of years has not worked. Accordingly, when a tax on real estate tax payments will have to consider when investing in real estate. Even with a very liberal tax rate to 0.5% of the market value of these half-percent per year to spoil the expected return from an object, say, rent. In conclusion, Yuri Kochetkov lists the main danger to the citizens, who still bears the tax: the inventory estimates could fall have already been eliminated / demolished / reconstructed facilities, which, however, were written for you. The tax on these items will be sent to you without fail. In the registry of objects can contain excessive information about your objects. For example, the old size of the area before you even gave his share to his aunt. Kvitochek will come to you, not my aunt. If an object is in common ownership, it is quite possible that each of dolevschikov will tax the entire object. This is a technical error, but it is quite likely. Cadastral valuation will be significantly overestimated, as the assessment data will be used on the proposals of similar objects in a few numbers. Objects can be in the market for years, but the model will be focused on them. The only way to fend off such an assessment - to have data on actual transactions.
