"We need to take the head of the Tax Code, governing the taxation of residential property of citizens, calculated from the market price of the property," - said the president. Included in the plans of the government and the imposition of property tax for organizations. The report of the Ministry of Finance on the main directions of tax policy for 2008-2010, approved by the government, clearly states: "A tax on real estate organizations should be an important step in reforming the system of property taxation in Russia."

Yesterday, one of the variants of the bill for a tax on real estate for organizations discussed the roundtable in the Federation Council. Conclusion audience - with the reform of property taxation, despite the wishes of the president, should not hurry.

Discussed yesterday a bill providing for the imposition of property tax for organizations, prepared at the State Scientific Research Institute of the tax system of the Federal Tax Service. The authors, based on an experiment on real estate taxation, which was held for six years in Nizhny Novgorod and Tver, proposes to replace the two currently in taxes (property and land tax) single tax on real estate.

According to Director General of State Research Institute of the tax system Aslambey Paskacheva, the bill establishes the general principles of assessment of real property for tax purposes. The assessment should be close to the land, that is, to strive for the market (now corporate property tax is calculated on the basis of net fixed assets). The proposed maximum tax rate - 2% of the cadastral value of the property.

As it turned out, to introduce this idea into reality in practice rather difficult. First, it has not yet adopted a law on the inventory, which should initiate the creation of a unified cadastre of real estate. Nor is there a complete methodology for assessing such property. According to the deputy head of department property taxes department of tax and customs tariff policy of the Ministry of Finance Nadezhda Gavrilova, formation of a single property, the registration rights to the object and the object to determine the cost for tax purposes - is a formidable task. And equally this applies not only to the taxation of property of legal persons, but also to the taxation of property owned by citizens.

Derivation of the Ministry of Finance - Reforms should proceed gradually, especially since, according to Gavrilova, formation of real estate cadastre in the subjects of the federation planned to be completed no earlier than 2010. "And so a complete reform of property taxation may begin no earlier than 2010," - says Gavrilov. In the beginning of reform advocated director of the department of regional socio-economic development and Spatial Planning Ministry of Regional Development Yuri Perelygin. According to him, the reform could start and go for years, but nothing wrong with that.

However, the fate of the Senators, who also faces a tax on real estate, which stirred the fate of more enterprises. "I do not understand why this tax (on real estate. -" Newspaper ") to replace the existing ones. How is it actually better than they? I believe that the bill will not work in 2050. A need to experiment on mice, not human beings "- outraged the head of the budget committee of the Federation Council Eugene Bushmin." I can not imagine a man who would dare today to introduce such a tax in the country. Many citizens will never be able to pay "- he added, apparently forgetting that impose a tax on property of citizens proposed by President.

Your house will not ruin?

Vladimir Nikitin / deputy chairman of the Duma Committee on Budget and Taxes:

My apartment is not so great as to destroy me, but when deputies times end, I think, questions arise. And the key point - it is not taxable minimum. If you impose, say, the rate of 25-30 meters per family member, many people do not fall under the large payments and meaning in this endeavor will be. And if, as some have suggested, the level of stops in the area of 12-15 meters, a large number of people will be threatened with ruin.

Grigory Kulikov / Chairman of the Board of Directors of Miel-Real Estate:

In my opinion, the real tax must first pay the owners of second, third, and other houses and apartments, which only officially in Moscow, 150 thousand. This shift is appropriate, because the tax system should encourage the efficient management of property, including housing. However, everything must happen gradually.

Eugene Gontmaher / director of the Center for Social Policy, Institute of Economics Academy of Sciences:

In principle, all right. But how to assess market value, I have no clarity. In Moscow it is speculative: here, take my apartment, for example. I live in the center, in an old house, I think it is worth a half million dollars, if not more. And if they will pick up, say 1% per year, it will cost me 5 thousand - a decent amount! I am not ruin, I will not give up his apartment, but the budget hit. And this is despite the fact that I myself refer to as the upper middle class, but there is also a regular middle class, for which 5 thousand - a lot of money. And for some grandmothers is altogether ruin! There must be some "checkerboard pattern, as the assessment of the housing, and income of the family. Putin said, in the end that the poor should not suffer. Furthermore, all this opens up tremendous opportunities for corruption relating to the evaluation of apartments. As for the appraiser must follow the inspection?

In general, the trouble is that we are trying to try on a modern market-based mechanisms that operate in normal countries. But we are undemocratic, non-market and uncivilized country!

Yuli Gusman / director:

I have a flat area of 78 meters for a family of five persons. And she'll be destroyed. But as soon as I move to my dream, summarizing a serious business and a happy life, there certainly ruin. Now I shuddered, realizing that, perhaps, move me not worth it. And in general if the evaluation of apartments will be held at an inflated price, you may have to go to Baku, to their homeland and live there, getting Russia's pension.
