Under Russian law, people who work for hire do not pay taxes on their wages - the employer does it for them. However, if you receive other income, or if you own certain types of property, you may need to fill out a tax return and pay taxes.
Instructions
Step 1
Find out if you have to pay taxes. Individual entrepreneurs, as well as business owners and individual practicing lawyers must pay taxes themselves. In addition, tax may be required from the one who sold the property that was in his ownership for less than 3 years, as well as from the owner of real estate, land or car, from the one who received a gift of significant value, and so on. In addition, in some cases, for example, when paying for education for oneself or a child, when buying a home, a person has the right to return part of the tax paid on wages, but this also requires contacting the tax office. In case you are not sure whether you have to pay taxes, contact the tax service - FTS - at your place of residence.
Step 2
If you still need to pay taxes, fill out the tax return. It can be downloaded from the FTS website, and then filled out in electronic form, printed and signed. In the declaration, indicate your passport data, income from which you want to pay tax, and other necessary information. Send the finished declaration by registered mail to the Federal Tax Service or take it there in person. When filling out the declaration for the first time, it is best to consult with a specialist of the Federal Tax Service. It is also important to comply with the deadlines - the declaration for the past year must be submitted no later than April 1 of the current year.
Step 3
Wait for the receipt from the tax office and pay for it. This can be done at any bank, for example, in Sberbank, special machines are installed to pay taxes and duties. You can also make a wire transfer from your bank account. If you are entitled to a tax deduction, the FTS itself will transfer money to you to the specified account.
Step 4
Check if you have tax arrears from previous years. To do this, go to the official website of the Federal Tax Service in the section on checking debts, enter your last name, first name and patronymic, region and individual tax number - TIN. The system will tell you if you need to pay any additional amounts and how to do it.
