Questions about cadastral value and cadastral registration data
What affects the amount of personal property tax (NIPL)?
WHAT IS CADASTRAL VALUE?
Cadastral value is the value of real estate determined by the state, close to the market value. Depends on the location of the property (county, district), the year it was built, the material of the walls, its area, the distance to the nearest metro station, the distance to recreational areas (forest, park, etc.), the fact that the property was declared unsafe, the prices of real transactions with real estate and some other parameters.
WHERE TO FIND OUT THE CADASTRAL VALUE?
You can find out the cadastral value of your property using the Internet service “Reference information on real estate objects online,” which is available on the official website of Rosreestr. You can also contact directly Rosreestr or the Provision Centers public services city of Moscow "My documents".
HOW IS THE CADASTRAL VALUE OF MY REAL PROPERTY DETERMINED?
The cadastral value is determined by the mass valuation method based on information contained in a single database for all real estate objects - the State Real Estate Cadastre. When using the mass valuation method, characteristics are identified on which the price of real estate on the market depends. Using information about these characteristics and prices of real real estate transactions, an assessment model is built, which is used to determine the cadastral value of each property. Since the cadastral value is determined by the mass valuation method, it does not take into account individual characteristics specific apartment, which may affect its market value. That is, for example, the cadastral value of an apartment depends on whether it is located in a brick or panel house, but does not depend on the presence or absence of repairs, furniture and appliances, or on where the apartment’s windows face. As a result, the cadastral value of a particular object may differ from its real market price - to compensate for this imperfection of mass valuation, the state has introduced a special tax deduction (For more information about the tax deduction, see Section 7 "Frequently Asked Questions"). Independent appraisers are hired to carry out state cadastral valuation. The results of determining the cadastral value are approved by the Moscow Government and entered into State cadastre real estate.
WHY HAS THE CADASTRE VALUE OF MY REAL PROPERTY INCREASED?
The cadastral value could have increased as a result of revaluation: the cadastral value in Moscow is approved by the Moscow Government and is regularly (starting from 2015 once every two years) revised in order to fully comply with changes in prices on the real estate market and take into account the construction of new houses and other real estate objects.
WHAT INFORMATION ABOUT MY REAL PROPERTY WAS USED IN DETERMINING THE CADASTRAL VALUE OF MY REAL PROPERTY?
The cadastral value is determined based on information about the location of the property (county, district), the year of its construction, the material of the walls, its area, the distance to the nearest metro station, the distance to recreational areas (forest, park, etc.), the fact of recognition of the property emergency, prices of real estate transactions and some other information.
I BELIEVE THAT THE CADASTRAL VALUE OF MY REAL PROPERTY IS DETERMINED INCORRECTLY
If you have information that was used to determine the cadastral value of your property and believe that an error was made in determining it (and you have materials confirming your position), then you can contact the Moscow City Property Department.
THE CADASTRAL VALUE INDICATED IN THE NOTIFICATION DOES NOT CORRESPOND TO THE DATA OF THE CADASTRAL PASSPORT (OTHER DOCUMENT CONTAINING CADASTRAL RECORDING INFORMATION)
The cadastral value of real estate is regularly reviewed (since 2015, once every two years) in order to fully comply with changes in prices in the real estate market and take into account the construction of new houses and other real estate. Thus, the cadastral value data in your cadastral passport may not coincide with the current data on cadastral value contained in the State Real Estate Cadastre.
WHAT IS A CADASTRAL NUMBER?
Cadastral number of the property – unique number object of real estate, assigned to it when entering information about real estate in single base of all real estate - State Real Estate Cadastre.
WHERE TO FIND OUT THE CADASTRE NUMBER?
You can find out the cadastral number of your property using the Internet service “Reference information on real estate objects online,” which is available on the official website of Rosreestr rosreestr.ru.

Questions about inventory value

- transition to property taxation based on cadastral value (if the cadastral value of your property is higher than the inventory value);
- applying a higher tax rate to your property;
- restrictions on the benefits (for example, previously the benefit was valid for all real estate objects in your property, but now only for one object of each type - for example, one apartment, one dacha, one garage, etc.);
- combination of the factors listed above.
DOES THE AMOUNT OF TAX DEPEND ON THE NUMBER OF REGISTERED PEOPLE IN THE APARTMENT?

The obligation to pay tax arises for heirs from the moment of death of the testator or from the date of entry into legal force of a court decision declaring the testator deceased.
If the death of the testator occurred before the 15th day of the month (inclusive), this month is taken into account to calculate the tax payable by the heir/heiress. If the death of the testator occurred after the 15th day of the month, this month is not taken into account for calculating the tax amount.

On Monday, October 6, Vladimir Putin signed amendments to the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. Existing tax for the property of individuals will be tied to the cadastral value of the property. Land tax while being preserved.
The new law will come into force on January 1, 2015, but a five-year period is provided transition period for regions, during which the tax amount will increase by 20% per year. Payment of property tax for citizens based on the cadastral value will begin in 2016, and Russians will begin paying the full amount in 2020. As a result of the amendments, the adoption of the law will not lead to a noticeable increase in the burden on citizens, legislators believe. However, experts are not so optimistic: for citizens, with the exception of beneficiaries, the annual payment for property will triple.
The amendments provide for the introduction of a three-level property tax rate. A rate of 0.1% of the cadastral value will apply to residential buildings and premises, garages, parking spaces, unfinished residential buildings, and outbuildings. In a relationship commercial real estate(retail and office properties), as well as expensive real estate (over 300 million rubles), the marginal rate will be 2%. For other real estate properties, the tax rate should not exceed 0.5%. It is worth noting that the amendments introduced an innovation: municipalities are given the right to reduce this rate to zero or increase it to 0.3%.
Tax rates will be set by local authorities depending on the applicable determination procedure tax base. The bill also retains existing benefits, but sets a limit on these benefits to one object of each category. For owners, a tax deduction is provided in the amount of the cadastral value of 20 square meters. m for an apartment, 10 sq. m - for a room, 50 sq. m - for a residential building.
According to experts, local administrations are more likely to increase rates than reduce them. As a result of the application of the marginal rate, the tax for citizens may increase by 20 times.
Russian citizens can already calculate how much they will have to pay under the new tax. To do this, on the Rosreestr portal you can request data on the cadastral assessment of the value of an apartment or house.
According to the Federal tax service(Federal Tax Service), average market price 1 sq. m of housing for tax purposes in the country is 32 thousand rubles. For example, for a standard two-room apartment with an area of 55 sq. m tax on average in Russia can be about 1120 rubles. in year. The current property tax for the same “kopeck piece” is about 700 rubles. For a family of three two-room apartment in 55 sq. I won't have to pay tax.
For Muscovites, the calculation of the cost of tax can be illustrated using the example of a typical metropolitan apartment with an area of 54 square meters. m. At property deduction in 20 sq. m and an average cadastral value of 160 thousand rubles. for 1 sq. m, the tax amount if a rate of 0.1% is applied will be 5,440 rubles. "This is the amount that will be payable only in 2020. At the same time, pay tax according to new scheme citizens will start only in mid-2016. For Moscow, the amount of the first payment in the given example will be about 1 thousand rubles, as calculated by the Department of Economic Policy and Development of the City of Moscow,” commented the head of the Department of Economic Policy and Development of Moscow, Maxim Reshetnikov.
If in the capital in five years they increase the rate to 0.3% of the cadastral value, the average tax for an apartment in Moscow could exceed 20 thousand rubles. (in 2012 it was 1378 rubles).
Impact on the real estate market
Briefly about the topic - video comments (05:04)
"RBC-Real Estate" on RBC-TV
As RBC-Real Estate previously wrote, for the majority of ordinary citizens who own economy-class apartments, tax burden will increase insignificantly. However, there is a certain category of citizens - owners of economy class apartments in the city center, who will be more affected by changes in tax policy.
The new property tax will have a greater impact on owners of expensive real estate, but owners of less expensive apartments will also have to pay significantly more. As Maxim Reshetnikov said, the greatest changes will affect owners of expensive real estate in the city center, as well as owners of properties introduced in recent years.
The cadastral value of business and luxury class objects has already approached the market value. Therefore, for such owners the tax burden can increase significantly - five or more times. “Old houses are mainly inhabited by elderly people who received these apartments back in the last century, as well as their heirs. And not all owners of such real estate will be able to pay new tax. In this situation, a “natural resettlement” of low-income strata from the central part of the city to the outskirts may begin,” Maria Litinetskaya told RBC Real Estate.
Managing partner of Contact Real Estate Denis Popov agrees with her: “Probably not the wealthiest owners of property in the old fund and in prestigious areas capital will have to change their place of residence. Of course, for pensioners, an extra tax of several tens of thousands of rubles a year will be very expensive.”
According to Blackwood managing partner Konstantin Kovalev, there are two possible scenarios here: selling for the purpose of purchasing a less expensive property in another area, or leasing and renting an apartment for your own residence in another area. “The new property tax will have a much stronger impact on the rental segment. As a rule, landlords shift all possible costs onto the shoulders of tenants. And in this case, most likely, the rent will be increased in order to compensate for the increased property tax,” the expert believes.
Experts believe that there will be no significant changes in the housing purchase and sale segment. Increased tax on real estate will not become a stop factor for purchasing housing for the purpose of living. Some correction is possible in the investment demand segment.
"Most likely, owners of expensive real estate will be looking for various ways reducing your tax burden by re-registering apartments to relatives belonging to preferential categories citizens, etc. However, the law greatly reduces these opportunities by establishing restrictions on benefits,” notes Konstantin Kovalev.
How much will owners of expensive apartments pay?
According to experts in the luxury real estate market, secondary market housing in Moscow, the share of the supply of apartments more expensive than 300 million rubles. is small and amounts to about 0.1%. As a rule, these are luxury apartments in the Khamovniki and Yakimanka areas.
According to IntermarkSavills, the number of apartments with estimated value, exceeding 300 million rubles, in Moscow is approximately 1.5-2 thousand, plus new houses are put into operation every year, replenishing this volume by several dozen more. Concerning country houses, then, according to IntermarkSavills managing partner Dmitry Khalin, the luxury category will most likely fall, on the one hand, into mansions located in expensive places (Rublyovka, Minskoye Shosse, New Riga), on the other hand, objects of large area (from 1000 sq. m) and with large plots of land (more than 0.5 hectares), located in less prestigious areas. There are certainly more such suburban properties than apartments in the city, and their exact number is difficult to estimate (approximately 2-3 thousand).
The Blackwood company cites as an example a two-level penthouse at 5 Butikovsky Lane. total area 270 sq. m, cost 12 million dollars (474 million rubles at the Central Bank exchange rate as of October 3, 2014 - 39.5 rubles/dollar). If the cost of this apartment in the cadastre were recorded according to the official transaction amount, then the penthouse would be classified as an object “over 300 million rubles,” for which it is taken into account increased rate 2%. Thus, by 2020, the owner of an elite apartment. you will have to pay tax of more than 9 million rubles. in year.
Contact Real Estate has calculated the cost of one of the most expensive properties in Moscow - apartments in an elite residential complex"Negotiant". Based on total cost apartments in a mansion cost 35 million dollars (Central Bank exchange rate is 39.6 rubles), the cost of the apartments will be 1 billion 386 million rubles. Since the apartments belong to the non-residential property, a tax deduction (from 20 sq. m) is not provided for non-residential real estate. When betting on non-residential real estate at 2% property tax will amount to 27.720 million rubles. in year! It is worth noting that on this moment This is an indicative and conditional calculation.
According to Denis Popov, there are still too many unknowns to do anything accurate forecasts. It is necessary to understand what the cadastral valuation of elite real estate will be - this is much more difficult than assessing a standard apartment, since each elite apartment is individual, he believes.

In six months, Russians will receive a big surprise - they will receive notices about the payment of property taxes. Starting from 2016, property tax for individuals is calculated according to new rules in accordance with Chapter 32 “Property tax for individuals” of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. The authorities of 28 constituent entities of the Russian Federation decided to use the cadastral value of real estate as a tax base from January 1, 2015.
Its introduction will be gradual - 20% per year, and by 2020 we will pay full property tax, calculated according to a cadastral valuation close to the market value, and not according to the BTI assessment, as was before. But the problem is that the cadastral value can differ greatly from the market value. And not in favor of the owner. Despite the fact that many citizens have heard something about the tax increase, few people know exactly how much they will have to spend on paying taxes in 2020. And, according to experts, many will simply not be able to do this.
Izvestia asked the consulting company Berkshire Advisory Group to calculate the amount of tax for different types apartments (1-, 2-, 3-room in “Stalin”, “Khrushchev” and standard panel houses) in different areas of the capital, since the situation there is the most dramatic due to high cost real estate. In the regions, the trends are, of course, the same, but the scale is not so frightening.
In these tables, we calculated expenses by tax amount by year, based on data from large developers - the Konti group of companies and the Real Estate Market Indicators portal (IRN.ru). We took ready-made analytics from them on the cost per square meter,” she said CEO Berkshire Advisory Group Irina Vishnevskaya. - Tax rates are set at the level of federal subjects and depend on the area and cost of housing. As part of our study, for consistency, we adopted a rate of 0.1% of the market value of the apartment for comparison.
Standard apartments were taken as a basis. For example, the tax on a one-room metropolitan “Khrushchev” apartment with an area of 30 square meters. m (minus 20 sq. m., which are not taxed) near the Molodezhnaya metro station will increase by 2020 from 567.61 rubles to 2838.05 rubles. And the tax on a three-room “Stalin” apartment with an area of 71 square meters. m (minus 20 sq. m) near the Frunzenskaya metro station will increase from 9256.36 rubles to 46281.78 rubles.
The expert community has the most questions for appraisers.
Until June of this year, the cadastral value of real estate was assessed by independent appraisers. That is, Rosreestr held a competition, selected appraisal companies that used mass appraisal methods to determine the cadastral value, explains Irina Vishnevskaya. - For the whole Russian real estate Fewer than ten such companies were selected. But since mass valuation methods are based on the “average temperature in a hospital,” it happened that even in the same building, the cost of identical apartments differed by three times. Accordingly, the tax was different.
After the adoption of the new law, the assessment of real estate will be carried out by state budgetary institutions (GBU), which will be created in each region, says Vishnevskaya. - That is, the state itself will assess the “market” value of real estate. And now the expert community is very concerned about this. There were very serious requirements for independent appraisers. And the ratio of appraisers of the State Budgetary Institution is several times lower - and in terms of experience appraisal activities, and in terms of the number of appraisers of future state budgetary institutions. And there are very big fears that the State Budgetary Institution, like any state-financed organization, will protect the interests of the state.
According to the doctor economic sciences, Professor of the Department of Labor and social policy MIGSU RANEPA, member of the Expert Council of the Government of the Russian Federation Lyubov Khrapylina, “massive human tragedies” await us.
The cadastral value tax will become a terrible burden for people who do not have the opportunity to pay such an amount, says Khrapylina. - A lot of older people have expensive apartments. And they need to move. But even if they don't mind, there is a very important problem. People with reduced social protection They are absolutely incapable of organizing such matters on their own. And you shouldn’t count on conscientious realtors here.
What should we expect in the near future? Experts name three things: migration of residents from the center to the outskirts, release to the market investment apartments and increased workload on the courts.
By the end of this year - the beginning of next year we will see the dynamics of relocation low-income families from larger housing to smaller housing, so they will try to reduce tax costs. In addition, a huge amount of housing will be thrown onto the market. People had free money, bought apartments to rent to their children. Now they won’t be able to support them,” says Vishnevskaya.
What can be done to reduce taxes? A citizen has the right to challenge the cadastral value established by the state by bringing it to the market value.
If you do not agree that your apartment is worth 20 million rubles, you can contact an independent appraiser. He will come, examine, evaluate it using all assessment methods, taking into account all factors. After that, you go to court with a claim to establish the cadastral value in the amount of the market value,” says Irina Vishnevskaya. - Now this is a very widespread practice.
However, municipalities also have the right to challenge the cadastral value if they consider it to be underestimated. Therefore, the state will fight to replenish the budget, and people will fight not to overpay.
