Krasnodar, 3 February. Our today’s guest is Aleksei Semenov, Head of the Administration of the Federal Tax Agency in Krasnodar Krai. 

Q.: How did the tax calculation procedure change last year? What new tax breaks began to apply? 

A.: First, it is worth noting that the latest results of state cadastral valuation of lands were applied for the land tax. One can see them by asking for an extract from the Unified State Register of Immovable Property. To calculate the personal property tax payable for the 2020 tax year, the cadastral valuation of immovables was applied adjusted for reduction factors. Secondly, a new list of cars worth of 3 million roubles and more placed on the website of Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade was applied to calculate the transport tax. 

Q.: Please explain the new receipt procedure for digital signature. It has been said that legal entities, private entrepreneurs and notaries can get it free of charge? 

A.: Yes, they can, but only at the Certification Centre of the Federal Tax Agency. Since January 1, 2022, the Federal Tax Agency is charged with issuance of qualified certificates for digital signature keys for most legal entities, private entrepreneurs and notaries. But in order to ensure ‘seamlessness’ of the transition period, the Federal Tax Agency began to issue digital signature keys starting from July 1, 2021. These certificates received in the framework of the pilot issuance remain valid for 15 months. The Federal Tax Agency has organized submission of applications for digital signature keys via personal accounts (dashboards). Upon filling out the form, the applicant is advised to choose the convenient place and time for his/her visit to the Certification Centre of the Federal Tax Agency. By the time the applicant goes there, his/her data will have been verified. 

Q.: How successful was the interdepartmental work on reducing cash-in-hand jobs?

 A.: During the first three quarters of 2021, the regional tax authorities performed tax audits with regard to 6,800 employers. Owing to it, the budget received additionally 483.9 million roubles of personal income tax and 1.2 billion roubles of insurances deductions – that is, 1.7 billion roubles in total. The amount of redeemed debts on insurance deductions and personal income tax, without increasing tax liabilities, during that period amounted to 562.2 million roubles. 

Q.: Tell us about the introduction of cash registers to the work of various sectors of economy. 

A.: At present, the tax authorities are implementing the regional project aimed at elimination of unjust competition in the markets. One hundred and fifty-six trading facilities with 16,800 trading points are taking part in the project. These trading facilities accommodate over 13,000 commercial entities. Our fairs and marketplaces are fully legalized; nearly all trading points (where it is required by law) are equipped with cash registers. In November 2021, the earnings shown with the help of cash registers tripled compared with February reaching 1.4 billion roubles.
