TAX ON REAL ESTATE. HOW WILL COUNT!

Deputy Finance Minister Sergei Shatalov sure that property taxes should be introduced as soon as possible. Mr. Shatalov said that the new levy on property owners will not simply the sum of property tax and land tax, the basis for calculating the new tax rate will fall unified real estate cadastre, which should prepare Rosreestr 2013. It was in 2013, the government will levy property taxes under the new scheme. At first it was proposed to collect property taxes based on market value of square meters. But, in this case would have suffered natives of the capital with low incomes. Later, Mr. Shatalov explained that property tax is progressive, adding that the luxury housing will be taxed differently than social. That is social justice will be achieved according to authorities. So how do you properly consider property taxes and how the new tax system may affect the market as a whole? Their opinions on this subject shared by experts and leaders of the leading construction companies and real estate agencies Khrustalev Alexander, CEO of "NDV-property", Igor Pinkevich, Chairman of the Board Group "Nastya", Yuri Khlestakov, CEO, the company "Russian House Property "Alex Demyanchuk, Managing Director," The first building trust, "Vladlen Voloshin, Director General," Veles Capital Development ". HOW WILL COUNT! In Russia there are flat rate tax, regardless of individual income tax rate of interest remains the same. At the same time the use of "flat" tax on real estate is not valid, says chief executive officer "NDV-Real Estate" Alexander Khrustalev, otherwise we will get disastrous results in the form of the mass of impoverished citizens. Thus, the measure of the authorities to implement this progressive tax on real estate is absolutely true. The tax rate on-cost housing should be increased. Agrees with him CEO, the company "Russian House of Real Estate" Yuri Khlestakov, because in it there is an element of injustice, even though all of this element in his view can never be excluded. The question is, what purpose poses a legislator at the start of the development of a project! Supports and Vladlen Voloshin, Director General of "Veles Capital Development", noting that this should happen in the long run. Mr. Voloshin adds that on the one hand, requires careful study of this issue, so that all the declared aspiration to make it socially thoughtful and fair to different segments of the population, on the other hand, you want good work to overcome resistance to change on the part of citizens, it is reasonable to increase fear tax burden, which may become unbearable for them. Alex Demyanchuk, Managing Director of "First of building trust," sure to revise the existing system of property taxation is necessary. A common international practice with a progressive tax rate shows that this tool can be quite effective for state purposes, and for processes of property management and protection of the interests of owners themselves. The progressive rate is, in general, fair, and the only fundamentally misguided policies would do the same for all taxes. Igor Pinkevich, Chairman of the Board Group "Nastya" takes the opposite view and believes that they should not touch our tax system to the full recovery of the housing market, which has affected and continues to influence the global economic crisis. But the main thing is not to reform until until fully recover the mortgage market. PROPERTY WILL truly burdened There is also a chance that the new system still will hit low-income people can afford, says Vladlen Voloshin, Director General of "Veles Capital Development". An example would be inheritance or, if you consider the subjects of the Russian Federation, bedroom apartment in downtown Moscow. In this case, people will be forced to move to less prestigious areas, which can be psychologically difficult moment. And one more thing can be called as minus adds Vladlen Voloshin, Director General of "Veles Capital Development": there is not considered the impact of new taxation system on the cost of living, which, in theory, should be increased, but no such plans. At the same time, the CEO of "NDV-Real Estate" Alexander Khrustalev arguing over issues of what should be the rate for the poor and middle class? What tax must pay the grandmother, who lives in the CAD in a relatively spacious apartment? On the one hand, we have a high market value of the object, on the other - very low income (pension). Therefore, the measure for the introduction of preferential rates for the poor be useful, but incomplete. For example, you can cancel the tax for certain sectors or categories of persons, or to impose a tax, which would not apply to certain properties under certain conditions, such as apartments, area 45 (or less) -70 meters for a family of several people. And for the wealthy people a new system will not fundamentally an adjustment, adds Igor Pinkevich, Chairman of the Board Group "Nastya". As it usually happens, there is plenty of opportunities to protect their interests. In other words, people with money will find a way to reduce their tax burden. For vulnerable segments of the population is likely to worsen the situation we are in for even greater social stratification, which can cause social tension. In the same direction says CEO, the company "Russian House of Real Estate" Yuri Khlestakov. It is important to determine the "direction of impact," ie, with the injustice that causes righteous anger, what it is: the fact that poor people pay a lot or a little rich?, Then you need to divide the population into rich and poor, to do so only on the basis of the availability of any property, already seen as unfair. You can not go through PP Sharikov ".. all take and share!". We must not forget the middle class, which at all levels of government so call to revitalize, create, protect, help, etc., which in the case of incorrect decisions can "get more than anyone else," and can lead to a reduction of the class and an increase in number of poor. Unfortunately, it is impossible to predict the implications of these proposals, so as not (or do we not know about them), the actual figures, methods and technologies to realize high quality and true theory, says CEO, the company "Russian House Property "Jury Khlestakov. While it is extremely difficult and confusing process of creating a single register of real estate with a market price, by the way the market price is not constant but varies depending on whether the market itself, but in addition a detailed quality, because the house does not say that he "elite ". Here may lie the greatest injustice in the future law. Any tax changes in our society has traditionally viewed with great skepticism and irony, says Alexei Demyanchuk, Managing Director of "First of building trust." But if developers will approach the mind of well-defined and differentiated tax rates, it might be a good market regulator and motivational tool for effective management and property management. The law should certainly take into account the interests of the citizens actually living in their apartments and houses. Rental business out of the shadows go underground in Russia since the renaissance of the market economy and to this day real estate investments are considered the most liquid and stable, I'm sure Alex Demyanchuk, Managing Director of "First of building trust," so the acquisition of property in order to maintain or preserve its capital multiplying the trend. Investment and rental business will just consider the size of this tax in the expectations of profitability. Unfortunately, the recent purchase of real estate investment with a view to being hailed as something that somehow immoral. CEO, the company "Russian House of Real Estate" Yuri Khlestakov is nothing wrong in not seeing, and are always happy to give advice to friends about it. And it is true that investors have driven prices up in Moscow unreachable heights, today it is a fair price, they are governed by supply and demand. Directly dependent on the tax rate on real estate market activity, and no, although indirectly, of course, is present. Is primary in this regard the demand for the product (apartment, rental, etc.), and it can only be in a favorable economic and political situation, then people have children and buy a flat. For example, in the Tambov region Morshansk. also build housing, but those who have the option to buy it, there is one. Because salary 6000 rubles per month, while utilities 3000, from other regions are "warm" place buyers "do not drive a stick", hence the lack of demand and low prices caused by cheap land, cheap labor and building materials located "under their feet," cites the example of the Director-General, the company "Russian House of Real Estate" Yuri Khlestakov. If the tax rate is very high, it can lead to serious loss of (if not an end) investment purchases, said General Director of "NDV-Real Estate" Alexander Khrustalev. On the other hand, this may entail a rise in rents, as landlord, will likely include tax in the rent. Agrees and Alex Demyanchuk, Managing Director of "First of building trust," a progressive tax rate will be a kind of market regulator "of investors and investor" will make them more effectively manage real estate, for example, quickly begin to take acquired housing. This, in turn, will cause some increase in supply in the rental market and increasing demand for finished apartments for sale and furnishing of new buildings. "The first building trust," sees in this positive trend for the industry and opportunities for advancement of the company, as even at the present moment offers a flat "turnkey". Besides, if we are discussing the tax will be at the level of European standards, then talk about reducing the demand for investment housing in cities like St. Petersburg and Moscow do not have to. On this occasion also expressed CEO, the company "Russian House of Real Estate" Yuri Khlestakov: "If it is accepted by an excessive rate of property tax, the first of what will happen is that people who got any miracle second property for example, receiving an inheritance, and such a sufficiently large number and often the property allows them to make ends meet, will get rid of it, just buy it nobody will! "Igor Pinkevich, Chairman of the Board Group" Nastya, "says:" the volume of purchases Housing investment will not change. The property was, is and will be an attractive area for investment. " He adds that, as a rule, these investments are not held to the "last of my money" and increased taxation on housing is unlikely to significantly affect demand. In his view, the new law will affect more on market rental housing, which is out of the shadows go underground. Apparently, the category of people who give shelter will get the most progressive taxation. The owners of several apartments will be forced to restructure their apartments in the property to relatives, will increase the cost of the rental housing, which again will affect vulnerable populations. With the introduction of a progressive scale of attractiveness of real estate as a type of investment should go down, I'm sure Vladlen Voloshin, Director General of "Veles Capital Development", but not essential, because the category of people who have the opportunity for such operations, refers to the well-off. New tax system: pros and cons Vladlen Voloshin, Director General of "Veles Capital Development" evaluate the proposed system of taxation and to identify their strengths and weaknesses. "We do not know the amount of tax that pays now - it's more or less" - asks Vladlen Voloshin, Director General of "Veles Capital Development". The government claims that innovations will make the distribution of the tax burden more equitably between the categories of people with different income levels. When the owners of social housing does not expect any increase in taxes. Will be developed progressive rates of tax on real estate. This is a plus. It is true it would be as easy as possible, or even remove the tax burden from property privatized as a single dwelling, it would protect the poorest segments of the population, suggests Alex Demyanchuk, Managing Director of "First of building trust." The tax generally must be entered on a certain threshold, while the rate should be in direct proportion to the number of owners. If, for example, the couple bought an apartment at the market price on an equal basis, the value of real estate should be divided in half and be taxed on half the amount at a lower rate. Unconditionally should not be taxed flats under a mortgage encumbrance, as the government gets its share of the profit tax by the banks themselves. There is also a positive aspect of care may include an inventory approach to determining the value of the property to the market, making the market more transparent, adds the Director General of "Veles Capital Development". On the other hand, by 2013 it is planned to form a unified register of real estate. The question arises: who and how will evaluate? The method of mass valuation has not been developed and, in many respects, there are risks of failure to a desired result. This is a minus. The first thing we must begin, in the opinion, the general director of company "Russian House of Real Estate" Yuri inspector general, is to create preconditions for the legalization of voluntary real transaction prices, then we get a real taxable tax base. This will calculate the tax rate. There is a definite hook in determining the starting amount of the tax assessment, adds Alexey Demyanchuk, Managing Director of "First of building trust - adequate only be considered a tax on the purchase price, but not always in the sales contracts reflect an adequate market value. In the long-term changes in taxation should lead to the declaration of the actual purchase price, the government should encourage citizens to be honest. Further scale after passing the threshold price of the property tax must also be differentiated from a certain step. Igor Pinkevich, Chairman of the Board Group "Nastya," begins with the fact that taxes are not fair. But it is a civilized way taxes are properly resolve problems or complex economic problems of the state. If the introduction of the new law will be resolved at least one significant issue for the country, such as labor migration, for which you want to tax property in the capital was several times higher than in regions where there is a need for labor, we can say that all not in vain. He did not think the current system of property taxation ideal, but it has a right to exist. And if the goal of the reform increased the cash inflows to the Treasury, that it not be better simply to increase the tax rate, rather than spend a lot of money on efforts to reform. Changes in taxation are reasonable, but only if competent implementation of this project, summarizes Vladlen Voloshin, Director General of "Veles Capital Development". So, the real estate tax should be sensitive to the owners only in the context of the "luxury tax". Another advantage of the real estate tax would be the natural regulation "speculative," that will help stabilize housing prices, adds Alexey Demyanchuk, Managing Director of "First of building trust."
