Russia - Why veterans in Komi are taxed on May 9 gifts

Russia (bbabo.net), - The inhabitants of the city of Pechora are discussing an unpleasant story that happened to Maria Aleksandrovna Urasinova, a veteran of the Great Patriotic War. Everyone in the city knows her, respects her, honors her on holidays. And then it turned out that a tax was being collected from the pensioner for the cash.jpgt that the local Council of Veterans presented to her in 2020 on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Victory. The most annoying thing is that so far no one has contacted the front-line soldier to explain the essence of all the claims.

The daughter of Maria Alexandrovna Nina Babicheva told about this story on social networks: a letter from the tax office came on the old New Year, it was indicated that an elderly woman needed to pay tax. The daughter went to investigate. The city Council of Veterans explained to her that there was supposedly no mistake - this is a tax on a.jpgt given by May 9, 2020. But that's not all. The tax had to be paid by December 1, 2021. Violators were charged a fine. Nina Babicheva says that she didn’t tell her mother anything, so as not to upset her once again, she went, paid tax and penalties. But the situation itself outraged her, and she decided to talk about it on the Web.

Maria Alexandrovna will turn 99 in February. In the first years of the war, she worked in logging, went to the front in April 1944, served as a nurse. Only 80 kilometers did not reach Berlin.

Maria Alexandrovna has many awards, she has been honored before by both public organizations and officials. It was the first time she had been asked for a tax on.jpgts.

But this is not the only case in the country. Lyubov Merzlikina from the village of Kozhva, Pechora District, Komi, said that her mother also received a "letter of happiness" from the tax office.

- My mother is 91 years old, she is a home front worker. On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Victory, she received a call from the Council of Veterans of the city of Pechora to clarify what.jpgt she would like to see. Mom has her own house without amenities, but there is a bathhouse. Then it was decided to put the stove to replace the old one. Fortunately, she was not refused and the purchase was paid for. But in October, I received a letter from the tax office with a request to pay tax for a.jpgt from the Council of Veterans. To say she was upset is an understatement. It turns out that this is not quite a.jpgt, - said Lyubov Merzlikina. What specific amount the tax authorities demanded from the veterans, their daughters do not disclose. Uncomfortable.

The tax was due by December 1, 2021. Violators were charged a fine. Nina Babicheva says that she didn’t tell her mother anything so as not to upset her. But the situation itself angered her

How many front-line soldiers received such letters, there is no exact information. Not all relatives actively use social networks, someone, probably, was embarrassed to tell, because the situation is unpleasant for everyone. The head of the region, Vladimir Uiba, drew attention to the problem that veterans faced in Pechora. He said that the region will prepare a bill providing for exemption from taxation of.jpgts for veterans of the Great Patriotic War. While the document is under development, the veterans themselves, according to the data, were not contacted at the time of publication of the material and no one offered to pay the tax instead of them.

P.S. This awkward situation might not have happened. The Council of Veterans, which presented.jpgts for the 75th anniversary of the Great Victory from extrabudgetary funds, was supposed to initially pay personal income tax for the elderly and thereby relieve them of the need to communicate with the tax. As, in fact, this happens when valuable.jpgts are presented to veterans throughout the country. Perhaps the local Council of Veterans did not know that this should be done, but it was not possible to find out. The day before, the organization did not pick up the phone. This is hardly a coincidence.

Help

When veterans receive payments from the budget, they are not taxed. If a.jpgt is received from an extra-budgetary structure and its price exceeds 10 thousand rubles, then personal income tax must be paid. But the legislation allows paying tax not only to the donor, but also to the donor.
