For people with disabilities, modern legislation provides for various benefits. Disabled people of the 2nd group are exempted from paying some taxes.
Do people with disabilities of 2 groups have benefits for real estate tax?
Disabled people of group 2 are people with disabilities who have certain physical pathologies or mental disorders. As a rule, serious diseases lead to such a disability group, which do not allow a person to work fully and significantly reduce the quality of life.
All types of benefits that such people can use are spelled out in modern legislation. For example, people with disabilities are entitled to free travel in public transport, and benefits for utility bills have been established. People belonging to this category may not pay property tax. This type of payment is calculated annually. The amount of taxes is determined at the municipal level. Each municipality has its own rules. The interest rate may differ slightly, and both the cadastral and market value of the property can be taken into account. Disabled persons of group 2 are exempt from property tax.
What you need to do to avoid paying tax
It is important to understand that a condition for obtaining a benefit must be that a disabled person has ownership of real estate or part of it. If a person is registered in an apartment or house, but is not the owner, he will be denied benefits. When a disabled person owns part of an apartment, the benefit will only apply to the part that belongs to him.
Disabled persons of group 2 are exempt from paying taxes on residential real estate (apartments, private houses), as well as garages. If we are talking about premises used for commercial purposes, there are no benefits. When a person with a disability has several apartments, the tax exemption will only apply to one apartment or, for example, a garage.
To receive benefits, you need to have on hand all the documents confirming the presence of a disability. With these documents, you should contact the tax office at your place of residence, write an application for cancellation of invoicing. Next, you need to wait for a decision. It usually takes several days to process the information. A disabled person of group 2 must receive a notice of the provision of benefits by mail or upon subsequent personal contact.
