Astrakhan residents were reminded what to do if the apartment tax did not come

Russians must pay property taxes for 2025 no later than December 1, 2026. The Federal Tax Service is already sending out notices, but some apartment owners may not receive the usual paper letter. This does not always mean that the tax is not charged.

First of all, the notification should be searched in the personal account of the taxpayer on the website of the Federal Tax Service or on the portal "State Services". If the document is sent electronically, a paper letter may not come. At the same time, the tax payment period remains the same.

There are other reasons for the lack of notification. For example, the owner can be completely exempt from tax due to the benefit. The document is also not sent in individual cases when the total amount of charges is less than 300 rubles or there are enough funds on a single tax account to repay them.

If the notification is not in any of the electronic services, you should contact the tax office. This can be done in person, through the website of the FTS or MFC. Specialists will help find out the reason and, if necessary, get a document for payment.

A separate rule applies to property owners who have never received notifications or paid tax on their apartment. If they do not have benefits, such an object must be independently reported to the FTS. For failure to fulfill this obligation, a fine of 20% of the unpaid tax is provided.

Pensioners are exempt from property tax in respect of one apartment, one residential building and one garage or car place, subject to the conditions set. If a pensioner has two apartments, the benefit applies only to one of them, and the second tax will have to pay.

You can pay accruals through the personal account of the Federal Tax Service, "State Services", a banking application or a bank branch. If you do not make money before December 1, inclusive, from the next day, penalties will begin to accrue on the debt.
