Each owner of real estate must pay for it in accordance with the tariffs and terms prescribed in the Tax Code. We will figure out whether there are benefits for pensioners on property tax and what are the features of the payment procedure.

Property tax - features for pensioners

In 2015, changes were made to the legislative framework, which led to a significant increase in the amount of the fee. This is due to taking into account the cost of housing according to the cadastre. Regarding the provision of benefits and the designation of groups that should not pay fees, nothing has changed. Therefore, today pensioners are exempted from paying property tax, more precisely, for one object.

The law does not limit the category of pensioners, therefore this rule applies to everyone who legally receives a pension, and not only according to their age. Indeed, in some cases, the security is provided ahead of schedule if the employee worked in the field of medicine, education, metallurgy, in a mine, etc.

Objects of taxation

So, in 2018, pensioners will need to pay property tax on all objects, except for one. These include:

• apartment or residential building;
• room;
• country house or residential type building up to 50 sq.m;
• garage;
• studios, galleries and other premises intended for creative work.

The object is subject to taxation, provided that the elderly person has title documents for it, and also if it is not used for profit, i.e. in commercial activities. If he owns only a share or a part, then it is for it that he is charged tariffs.

Category of property tax beneficiaries

Having dealt with the problem of how property tax is calculated for pensioners, we will find out if they have the opportunity to apply for benefits. The order and principles of requisitions are appointed at the federal level. But each region has the right to make amendments and additions in the direction of increase: to expand the lists of beneficiaries, to reduce bases or tariffs.

The state has fixed social subgroups, in relation to which pensioners are exempt from property tax :

• participants of the Second World War: heroes, veterans, prisoners, prisoners of concentration camps, partisans, SA servicemen or those who were in cities while holding the defense;
• heroes of the USSR and the Russian Federation;
• holders of the Order of Glory;
• liquidators and civilians affected by a radiation accident;
• disabled people of 1.2 groups and from childhood;
• participants and testers of nuclear weapons;
• military pensioners, subject to going on vacation "for length of service", as well as their relatives, who, after the death of the first, are entitled to payment "for the loss of the breadwinner";
• defenders of the interests of the country, who were in the military zone in Afghanistan.

Local authorities have the right to expand the list. In some areas, exemptions are granted to single mothers or families with many children. It is worth noting that if a pensioner falls under several categories, for example, being an "Afghan" has an award or received a group, the number of benefits does not increase. He still relies on the release of only one of his property.

Benefits for pensioners on property tax do not apply if it

the cadastral value is over 300 million rubles.

When is deduction used?

Tax benefits for pensioners on property tax are also provided in the form of a deduction. This implies that he has the ability to reduce the amount subject to tax. Today, deductions for pensioners correspond to the following parameters:

• room: you can reduce the amount of payment by subtracting the amount corresponding to 10 sq.m;
• apartment: 20 sq.m;
• house: 50 sq.m.

Final indicators need to be clarified with the local administration. They often change the standards upwards, expanding the capabilities of older people. For example, in the Yamalo-Nenets District, the base for paying for a private house can be reduced by an amount equivalent to 75 sq.m.

Thus, all pensioners are exempt from property tax (per unit) and can additionally apply a deduction. Having several types of real estate and commensurate the amount of their taxes, it is permissible to issue an exemption, for example, for a garage, and for an apartment, use a deduction if this method is more profitable.

The procedure for applying for benefits for pensioners

To receive exemption from property tax, pensioners need to visit the structural unit of the Federal Tax Service at the place of residence. You will need to fill out an application in which you indicate your data, describe the characteristics and location of the property (address), indicate the article of the Tax Code, according to which you can request the cancellation of the tariff for the specified object. You need to have documents with you that will be needed both to fill out the application and to provide the employee.

To cancel the personal property tax for pensioners, you must provide copies of the following documents to the employee:

• the passport;
• certificate issued by the Pension Fund;
• a contract or other confirmation of your right to own real estate;
• documentation for the object: cadastral passport, technical documentation;
• certificate of the beneficiary (on conferring the title of Hero, appointment of a group, etc. - if available).

Terms of transfer of information are limited on November, 1st. By submitting an application before this date, you can already receive an exemption for the current year. If a citizen does not provide such information, the Federal Tax Service will independently cancel the property tax for pensioners on one of the objects that it has.

If a pensioner is the owner of only one property, you can not visit the Federal Tax Service, he will be automatically exempted from fees. If there are several, it is better to choose the one you need. If the procedure is not passed, the tax authorities will choose the most expensive object in terms of cost and it will be released for it. As you can see, the state in this situation is on the side of taxpayers.

Registration of deductions takes place according to an identical procedure and with a similar package of papers.

To issue a tax on the property of individuals, incl. benefits for pensioners, permissible for the past three years. For example, if a person is "Afghan" and has not applied for an appointment, even after retirement, he can apply for a refund of previously paid tax for the previous 36 months.

Tariffication and payment procedure

Property tax for pensioners in 2018 is charged according to the procedure prescribed for all individuals. Recall that the private owner is not required to provide data on their apartments or other objects, as well as calculate how much to pay for them. The Federal Tax Service receives all information regarding property rights from local authorities. After that, the tax authorities calculate tariffs according to the cadastral value. They send a receipt or notice to the individual. It contains the following information:

• object of taxation;
• amount payable per year;
• deadline for payment;
• the date of the notice;
• the issuing authority.

Payment of property tax by pensioners is carried out through a bank branch using the specified details. Despite the date set, you need to know that individuals must make a payment no later than October 1 of this year, if the reporting period is the last one. At the same time, the rule also applies that the notice cannot be received later than September 1, so that the person has at least a month to fulfill his obligation.

If the indicated amounts are not paid on time, they are summed up and indicated in the receipt for several periods.

conclusions

In order to receive a tax deduction or be completely exempt from property tax in 2018, pensioners need to contact the Federal Tax Service with the necessary package of documents. Now registration of these documents does not take much time and is not difficult.

Federal movable property tax relief becomes regional

How it was in 2017

Fixed assets of 1-2 depreciation groups were not subject to taxation (clause 8, clause 4, article 374 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, Classification of fixed assets, approved by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of 01.01.2002).

Objects of fixed assets of 3–10 depreciation groups, regardless of the date of their registration, were subject to taxation. However, in most cases, it was not necessary to include their cost in the tax base until 2018.

Since, in accordance with paragraph 25 of Article 381 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, a federal benefit was provided for movable property registered as fixed assets from January 1, 2013. The exception was movable fixed assets received during reorganization, liquidation, or from related parties.

For fixed assets of 1-2 depreciation groups, everything remains the same - they do not apply to taxation objects (clause 8, clause 4, article 374 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

And with regard to movable property included in other depreciation groups, and accepted for accounting since 2013, the taxation procedure is changing.

As early as January 1, 2017, Chapter 30 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation was supplemented by a new article 381.1, according to which the federal property tax exemption in respect of the property specified in paragraph 25 of Article 381 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation (movable property accepted for accounting from January 1, 2013), from 01/01/2018 is valid on the territory of the subject of the Russian Federation only subject to the adoption of the relevant law of the subject.

Amendments to the Tax Code of the Russian Federation were introduced by Federal Law No. 401-FZ of November 30, 2016.

Thus, from January 1, 2018, the decision on exemption from tax on movable property, accepted for accounting from January 1, 2013 and related to 3-10 depreciation groups, is made by the regional authorities.

Also, from January 1, 2018, Article 381.1 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation was supplemented by paragraph 2 (Federal Law of November 27, 2017 N 335-FZ). According to which the law of the subject has the right to establish additional tax benefits up to full exemption from tax in relation to:

• Property classified by the law of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation as innovative high-performance equipment;
• Movable property specified in paragraph 25 of Article 381 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, from the date of issue of which no more than 3 years have passed.

Many subjects of the Russian Federation did not consider it necessary to “extend” the benefit at the regional level. Therefore, legislators decided to limit the tax rate for such property for 2018.

If the regional law does not establish benefits for movable property specified in paragraph 25 of Article 381 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, tax rates for such property cannot exceed 1.1% in 2018 (paragraph 3.3 of Article 380 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation in a new edition).

Please note that in relation to movable property registered before January 1, 2013, as well as received as a result of reorganization, liquidation of legal entities, or from related parties, the benefit, as before, does not apply (clause 25 of article 381, article 381.1 of the Tax Code RF).

At the same time, the limitation of the tax rate (within 1.1%) also does not apply, i.e. such property is taxed in accordance with the generally established procedure (clause 3.3 of article 380 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation)

In some regions, in relation to preferential movable property, relevant laws have been adopted that allow not to pay tax in 2018, or pay at a rate lower than 1.1%.

Among them is the Moscow region. Law of October 3, 2017 No. 159/2017-OZ for the period 2018 - 2020 a zero tax rate has been set for movable property accepted by the organization from January 1, 2013 for registration as fixed assets. The law lists exceptions established by the Tax Code of the Russian Federation for which the 0% rate does not apply: objects registered as a result of the reorganization of legal entities, when transferring property between related parties, etc.

And companies located in St. Petersburg, in 2018, apply the benefit only to movable property, from the date of issue of which no more than 3 years have passed (Law of St. Petersburg dated November 29, 2017 No. 785-129).

Therefore, in relation to movable property of 3 - -10 depreciation groups, issued and accepted for accounting in 2013-2014, the benefit is not applied in 2018. Since the region has not set its own tax rate, a preferential maximum rate of 1.1% will apply to such property.

No amendments were made to the Law of the City of Moscow dated 05.11.2003 N 64 “On the tax on property of organizations”, allowing the application of the exemption under paragraph 25 of Article 381 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation in 2018. Consequently, for Moscow organizations, movable property of 3-10 depreciation groups, registered since 2013, is now subject to property tax at a maximum preferential rate of 1.1%.

Thus, since 2018, property tax payments on movable fixed assets have increased if your region has not established a relief.

The maximum tax rate for movable property accepted for accounting from January 1, 2013 is 1.1%. When applying the benefits in 2018, it is necessary to carefully study the law of your subject of the Russian Federation on corporate property tax.

The benefit for energy-efficient facilities is also “transferred” to the regions

On January 1, 2018, amendments to Art. 381.1 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, introduced by the Federal Law of September 30, 2017 N 286-FZ. "Thanks" to them, the benefit provided for by paragraph 21 of Article 381 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation (objects with high energy efficiency) is at the mercy of the regions. Those. if the constituent entity of the Russian Federation has not established the possibility of applying benefits in relation to these objects by the relevant law, from 01/01/2018 they are taxed in the generally established manner.

Calculation of property tax on real estate

Features of calculating the amounts of tax and advance payments, if the tax base is determined as the cadastral value of real estate, are given in paragraph 12 of Article 378.2 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

From January 1, 2018, the specifics of determining the tax base, calculating and paying tax in respect of individual real estate objects of organizations, if their cadastral value is determined during the year, have been clarified .

We are talking about the real estate of foreign organizations that do not operate in Russia through permanent representative offices and the real estate of foreign organizations that are not related to their activities in Russia through permanent representative offices. And also about residential buildings and residential premises that are not accounted for on the balance sheet as fixed assets in accordance with PBU 6/01.

If the cadastral value of the said real estate was determined during the year, then the tax base and the calculation of the amount of tax (advance payment) for the current year in respect of these objects is determined based on the cadastral value established on the date of entry into the USRN of information that is the basis for determining the cadastral value of such object.

The tax return for 2017 is submitted in a new form

Starting from the submission of the declaration for 2017, organizations need to use a new form for the declaration and calculation of the advance payment, as well as new procedures for filling out reports and formats for submitting documents in electronic form, approved. Order of the Federal Tax Service of Russia dated March 31, 2017 N ММВ-7-21/ [email protected]

Recall that for the reporting periods of 2017, organizations could submit calculations for advance tax payments as in the form, approved. Order of the Federal Tax Service of Russia dated March 31, 2017 N ММВ-7-21/ [email protected], and according to the old form, approved. by order of the Federal Tax Service of Russia dated November 24, 2011 N ММВ-7-11/895 (letter of the Federal Tax Service of Russia dated June 23, 2017 N BS-4-21/12076).

So, the main changes in 2018 are related to the abolition of the federal exemption for movable property. Now the authorities of each subject independently decide whether to tax the specified assets of companies or not.

The tax on the property of citizens is a big scam, because this tax is contrary to the Constitution of Russia. Why should a citizen pay someone for his already paid property? It's not a lease, it's a property.

Should a person in principle pay property tax at market value every year, and what does this tax actually mean? If a person has acquired this or that property as private property and immediately paid the seller the full amount, then he (the buyer) becomes the sole legal owner of this property. If the buyer of real estate used a bank loan to purchase real estate, then until the full repayment of the loan, the acquired property practically belongs to the bank. But if, nevertheless, a person has acquired real estate and paid his own money in full for it, then, in accordance with Article 35 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the right of private property is protected by law, and everyone has the right to own, own, use it, both individually and jointly with others!

Thus, according to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, every person has the right to private property! Real estate also belongs to the category of private property and is protected by the Law on Private Property! Therefore, a completely logical question arises about the legitimacy of imposing a real estate tax that is contrary to the Constitution of the Russian Federation! If it is private property, then why should the person who legally owns it still have to pay real estate tax?!

The introduction of a property tax actually means the abolition of private ownership of it

If the property owner fails to pay property tax for some time, the state takes away this property from the private owner! If this is so, then it turns out that real estate is state property, not private, and the citizen only rents it from the state! Real estate tax in the Russian Federation is expected to be introduced up to 2% of the market value of real estate.

If this is the case, then a person does not have to pay the market value of the property, but only a fee to the state for the use of the property in the amount of one percent of its market value. But in this case there can be no question of private property in general and private property in immovable property. Otherwise, there is a direct violation of the Constitution of the Russian Federation.

And it is people who are well aware of the anti-constitutionality of the real estate tax who are now deliberately pursuing it through the State Duma of the Russian Federation and the relevant institutions of power in Russia. And they do it with only one goal - to turn the ordinary inhabitants of the country into slaves!

Solution

This problem, as the guarantor of the Constitution, is obliged to solve the president! This does not require much effort. He simply does not have to sign the corresponding law. Otherwise, citizens should not pay this tax without prior notice and fill up the courts with lawsuits.

Expected Result

Our task is to understand what is happening, and to explain what is understood to acquaintances, friends, relatives, to make the right decisions based on correct information. Knowing that the property tax is unconstitutional, and bringing this knowledge to a greater number of people, we will contribute to the formation of the correct understanding, which will be expressed in the relevant requirements - not a relaxation of the property tax, but its complete abolition!

It will be better for all citizens of Russia!

However, last year the decision to maintain the benefit was left to the discretion of the regional authorities: they were asked to decide whether to keep this benefit in their territories from 2018 or not. But so far, not a single region has made a decision to maintain the benefits. Only Tatarstan has prepared a relevant bill, says Vasily Markov, director of Deloitte, and some regions have already publicly announced that they will not keep the benefit, for example, the Chelyabinsk region. As a result, a modernization tax will be introduced for most companies from 2018.

The actual refusal of the regions to keep the benefit has become a real headache for business, complains the head of the tax department of a large international company. The regional authorities receive a lot of complaints - mainly from industrialists, the federal official confirms. Igor Surin, chairman of the board of directors of the Russkaya Kozha group, drew the attention of Vladimir Putin to the problem on Thursday (quote by Interfax): “All new equipment should be exempt from tax for at least three years, and let the regions decide the rest.”

The President instructed to work out the issue. Perhaps we will find a mechanism by which the regions will be interested in maintaining the benefit for the first three years, Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich suggested.

But the Ministry of Economic Development decided to go further and completely cancel such a tax from 2018: that is, to exclude movable property as an object of taxation altogether. This was reported to Vedomosti by the Minister of Economic Development Maxim Oreshkin. He proposes not to provide benefits, but to change the very principle of calculating the tax base. The abolition of the tax may affect all movable property of companies, an employee of the Ministry of Economic Development explains.

Vladimir Putin President of Russian Federation

Well, you can't cancel. It's destimulating. Well, why do we need this? People do not purchase equipment, and there is nothing, there is no development, and there is no personal income tax, no income tax. What for? Please work it out.

Against - the Ministry of Finance, two federal officials say. He believes that the complete abolition of the tax will lead to a reduction in the income of the regions and therefore the benefit should be valid only in those regions that approve it. The decision to transfer to the regions the right to establish or not to establish a benefit is correct, Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said yesterday (quoted by TASS). But it is necessary to set up a mechanism so that the tax does not interfere with the modernization of production, he admitted.

In Russia, the tax burden on investments in modernization reaches 20% against 7-9% in Europe, the Ministry of Finance recognized in 2012. After the introduction of the exemption, many companies updated their funds, says the chairman of the board of directors of a large industrial holding. Cancellation of benefits for individual companies will lead to huge costs. In 2015, the benefit saved businesses 110.8 billion rubles, according to the data of the Federal Tax Service. More than half of all shortfalls in income fell on 10 regions: they received less than 60 billion rubles. Of these, 25.6 billion rubles. - Moscow (1.7% of its income). Only in 11 regions the losses from benefits exceed 2 billion rubles, in another 12 - 1 billion. In 2018, the tax can provide an additional 130-150 billion rubles. regional budgets, Siluanov estimated.

The most painful cancellation of the tax will be for manufacturing, oil and gas, infrastructure companies, including telecoms, says Markov. The more companies buy new equipment, the higher the tax will be, he notes. The problems will also affect financial statements, the expert warns: in international financial reporting standards, property tax is considered the cost of an asset and reduces EBITDA, unlike other taxes. As a result, the cancellation of the benefit will lead to an increase in product prices, as well as a reduction in investment in modernization, an employee of the infrastructure company warns.

The proposal of the Ministry of Economic Development will solve many business problems, says KPMG partner Nina Gulis. Many companies were counting on benefits, but now their tax burden will increase, she warns. This is a huge blow, because of which the entire strategy will have to be revised, the tax manager of the company supports, “they tried to explain this to the governors, but the regional authorities offer to build something else and reduce the rate on this property.” But for those who are already in 2014-2015. updated his fund, it's too big an expense, he says. You can change the legal address to regions that will retain the benefit, but there are many pitfalls, for example, whether there was a tax goal in such a re-registration, Markov warns. The tax authorities may charge additional tax.

The abolition of the tax and the problem with restrictions on the application of benefits will be solved, Gulis believes. Now it does not apply to property that the company has transferred to a dependent organization. But many specifically purchased equipment from affiliated structures, as it is cheaper and safer.

For the past 10 years, the regions have been plagued by federal tax policies, pointed out S&P analyst Karen Vartapetov, and federal incentives almost always had a negative impact on regional budgets. Changing the rules for introducing benefits will give the regions another opportunity to compete with their neighbors for attracting businesses, but not everyone will be able to introduce benefits. According to the Accounts Chamber, at the beginning of June, the total budget deficit of 38 regions reached 55.3 billion rubles. There is a risk that the Ministry of Finance will put pressure on the regions, the official fears: first pay off budget loans, and then return the benefit.

Changes in taxation conditions encourage organizations to renew fixed assets.

Taxi and car sharing are an important part of passenger transportation, as these services unload the city from cars. “Taxi has turned from a semi-criminal sphere into a real modern industry of the city, which employs about 100,000 workers. And in terms of the quality of services, it is not inferior to the leading cities of the world,” he said at a meeting with representatives of the capital's taxi and car sharing companies.

In the next year or two, the number of taxis will increase by another 15-20 thousand cars, and there will be about 70 thousand operating taxis in Moscow. According to investors' forecasts, the fleet of carsharing cars will triple in the near future.

Benefits for development

According to Sergei Sobyanin, in 2018, Moscow will retain full benefits for the tax on movable property of organizations. “This year we will cancel it completely, and with the help of the association, public organizations, entrepreneurs, we will work out a scheme that would really stimulate the renewal of rolling stock and equipment in subsequent years. And this year we will simply cancel this tax,” he said.

An effective mechanism for providing this benefit is planned to be developed during 2018. The bill will be considered at the next meeting of the Presidium of the Government of Moscow and submitted to the deputies of the Moscow City Duma.

Until 2013, movable property (including taxi cars) was subject to corporate property tax. In order to stimulate the renewal of fixed assets from 2013 to 2017, the Tax Code of the Russian Federation completely exempted all movable property registered as fixed assets from January 1, 2013 from tax.

Since 2018, this benefit has been abolished at the federal level. However, the constituent entities of the Russian Federation have the right to independently determine the time and extent of its preservation. If such a decision is not made, then the rate of tax on movable property is 1.1 percent.

The Moscow Government received over 20 official applications from major business associations and individual enterprises of the capital. Entrepreneurs asked to keep the benefit, which is a serious incentive for the renewal of fixed assets of enterprises.

taxi house

The Mayor of Moscow met with representatives of taxi and car sharing companies, as well as aggregators, at the Taxi House (Architektor Vlasov Street, 55). It opened in October 2017 on the basis of the City-Mobil office. This is a professional club for taxi drivers, where they can relax, chat with colleagues, get advice or get a job.

In the lobby of the Taxi House there is an opportunity to watch videos, play chess and table football. In the kitchen corner you can warm up lunch or dinner, and in the medical office you can go through a pre-trip inspection. There is also a lecture hall, rooms for negotiations and legal consultations.

Call center employees help taxi drivers get a job, answer questions about current orders, and assist in resolving disputes.

Up to 150 drivers, employees of the City-Mobil company, visit Dom Taxi every day.

Taxi houses are planned to open in other districts of Moscow.

Moscow Taxi Standard

The revival of taxis - affordable, inexpensive and safe - is one of the key areas for modernizing the capital's transport system.

Over the past seven years, the Moscow standard for taxi transportation has been created. It includes the use of yellow cars with yellow license plates. Taxis have the right to travel in designated lanes for public transport.

You can order a car using mobile aggregators and other applications. In addition, the standard provides for affordable prices and short delivery times, as well as the simplicity and affordability of starting your own business in the field of taxi transportation.

A convenient procedure for issuing permits for taxi activities was introduced in 2011. From July 1, 2013, permits can only be obtained for cars with a yellow body color.

Thus, from July 1, 2018, all 100 percent of taxis with permits issued in Moscow will be yellow.

Since November 14, 2013, the design of yellow license plates has been simplified. You can get them when you first contact the traffic police.

Since April 1, 2014, the procedure for issuing permits has been completely transferred to electronic form - through the official portal of the Mayor and the Government of Moscow website.

Now in Moscow there are 46.8 thousand permits for taxi activities, 90 percent of taxi cars are yellow. According to the forecasts of the Department of Transportation, 15.5 thousand new taxis will take to the streets of the city in 2018. The number of valid permits (taking into account the withdrawal from the market of some carriers) will increase to 55,000.

In addition, according to the Department of Transport, there are between 15,000 and 20,000 taxi drivers in Moscow who have received permits in the Moscow Region.

Every day Moscow taxi transports more than 760 thousand passengers (about 280 million people a year).

The average cost of a taxi ride is 460 rubles (average time 20 minutes, average distance 10.6 kilometers).

The average taxi delivery time on a working day is five to seven minutes. This indicator is one of the best in the world.

More than one thousand legal entities and over four thousand individual entrepreneurs conduct taxi business in Moscow. More than 100 thousand people work in the industry.

The Moscow government supports companies that purchase cars on credit or leasing. Since 2012, 156 organizations have received subsidies totaling over 500 million rubles. In total, 19.4 thousand taxi cars were purchased under the subsidy program.

For comfortable boarding and disembarking of passengers in the capital, 419 taxi ranks for 1,453 parking spaces are equipped, including 180 parking lots for 640 parking spaces in the paid parking area. There are automated taxi lines at railway stations.

During 2018, it is planned to organize another 40 taxi ranks for more than 100 parking spaces, including in the Central District of the capital (near the Ulitsa 1905 Goda metro station, Luzhkov Bridge, the White Gardens business center, near the Kvartet I ” on Lesnaya Street, D.N. Mendeleev Russian University of Chemical Technology), in the North-Eastern District (near the Jewish Museum and Tolerance Center, at the entrance to the Ostankino Estate Museum, VDNKh and other places popular with citizens and guests of the capital).

Illegal carriers

The share of the illegal segment in taxis is no more than 10-13 percent. In order to reduce this number, raids are regularly carried out together with the traffic police.

Since 2013, mobile teams have identified more than 26,000 violations. More than 13,000 vehicles were sent to specialized parking lots, which were engaged in illegal transportation.

best taxi driver

In 2017, for the first time, an official competition for the best taxi driver was held in Moscow. The winners were representatives of three companies. They demonstrated the best driving skills, knowledge of the city and traffic rules. The competition included two stages: theoretical and practical. During the first, drivers proved that they knew the city thoroughly, the latest changes in traffic rules, and were able to provide first aid. Participants who passed to the second stage of the competition had to demonstrate driving skills. On a special track, the drivers performed the exercises "arrival in the box", "parallel parking", "overall corridor", "snake" and others.

At the World Cup

On the eve of the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup, voluntary accreditation of taxi companies was organized. It was received by six companies for 766 vehicles. Mandatory requirements were imposed on carriers: no unpaid fines, yellow cars no older than three years, equipped with an identification lamp, a color scheme and a yellow state registration plate.

More than 450 passenger taxis worked at the Spartak stadium during the matches. Cars transported 1360 passengers (10 volunteers free of charge).

Voluntary accreditation of taxi companies is also planned for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. It is assumed that about five thousand passenger taxis will receive accreditation. Cars will be able to drive into special parking lots near the Luzhniki and Spartak stadiums, as well as into the fan zones on Sparrow Hills.

For drivers, courses on working with fans are organized. All employees of accredited companies will have to pass them. The program will include a short English course, the rules for the provision of taxi services, the basics of behavior on the roads, communication with customers, servicing passengers with limited mobility.

Sergei Sobyanin supported the idea of ​​organizing English language courses for taxi drivers. They are offered to be carried out on the basis of the Moscow Automobile and Road Institute. “About eight hours of classes are required, and, according to our calculations, there will be approximately five thousand accredited cars,” added the Deputy Mayor of Moscow in the Government, head of the Department of Transport and Road Infrastructure Development .

car sharing— new type of public transport

The car sharing system (short-term car rental) has been actively developing in Moscow since 2015. Now it is a full-fledged type of public transport in the capital and a real alternative to a private car.

There are 13 car sharing companies operating in the city (YouDrive, Delimobil, Anytime, Car5, BelkaCar and others). In February 2018, the 14th company is expected to enter the market.

Compared to October 2015, the car-sharing fleet has grown 59 times and now stands at 5.9 thousand cars. According to the forecasts of service operators, in 2018 the fleet can grow several times more and reach 10-15 thousand cars.

The zones of using the service and the beginning and end of the lease are gradually expanding. Some operators are available in the cities of the Moscow region: Reutov, Dolgoprudny, Mytishchi, Khimki.

More than one million people have already registered in the carsharing system.

About 25 thousand trips are made daily. In 2017, carsharing cars were rented 5.6 million times.

The average cost of a minute of renting a car sharing car is eight rubles, a minute in the “waiting” mode is three rubles (average travel time is 60 minutes). One car sharing car makes an average of six trips per day.

Investments of operating companies in the development of the car sharing system in Moscow exceeded 1.5 billion rubles.

Car sharing vehicles that meet the requirements of the Moscow Government are granted a preferential right to use city paid parking lots. Parking a short-term rental car for a car sharing operator is cheaper than paid parking in the city by an average of 85 percent. For the user (or driver) it is free.

A preferential permit is issued for one vehicle for a period of three years (the permit is renewed every year, the issuance procedure now takes up to 10 working days, the service is planned to be converted into electronic form).

To obtain a preferential permit, a company (service operator) must meet a number of requirements: provide services 24 hours a day, seven times a week, have a 24-hour call center and software for providing remote access to cars. Also, a number of requirements are imposed on service cars. The color of the body parts should be orange, and the logo of the Moscow Car Sharing project should be applied on the cars. In addition, you must have an OSAGO policy, GPS / GLONASS equipment, and the environmental class of engines must be at least Euro-4. There are also requirements for the maximum dimensions of the vehicle. The period from the date of manufacture of the vehicle to the date of application for a preferential permit must not exceed one year.

On August 8, 2017, the Decree of the Moscow Government "On urban support for taxi transportation in the city of Moscow" was changed. This gave car sharing operators the opportunity to receive subsidies to reimburse part of the costs of paying lease payments under financial lease (leasing) agreements for cars.

For the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Moscow, the participants of the Moscow Car Sharing project plan to adapt the service for foreigners: improve the application interface and simplify registration.

Additional measures to support and expand the use of carsharing are being considered. So, short-term rental cars can be allowed to leave free of charge in city paid parking lots with barriers. Key condition: closed parking lots should not be used for long-term parking of carsharing cars.

Sergei Sobyanin approved the idea to use large heel-type vehicles in the car sharing system: Fiat Doblo, Renault Kangoo, Peugeot Partner, Citroën Berlingo and others. This will allow using the service for shopping trips to mega malls, out of town, for transporting personal belongings. “We will do this as an experiment,” said the Mayor of Moscow. According to him, the main thing is to try to strike a balance and not interfere with taxis and classic carsharing.
