How to pay transport tax through Sberbank online

How is transport tax calculated?

The procedure and amounts of tax payments are prescribed at the legislative level (Chapter 28 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). The Federal Tax Service and its regional offices determine the tax base, rates, benefits and payment deadlines. The amount of the tax fee depends on the region in which the car is registered, as well as on the technical characteristics of the car. Meaning:

• Engine power.
• Vehicle category.
• Year of issue.
• The length of time the car was owned by the taxpayer.

The tax notice you received indicates the make of your car, the period of its use (the number of months in a year from the date of registration), the tax rate and coefficient, benefits, if any, as well as the final amount of payments. This information is enough to know how to pay transport tax through Sberbank Online.

Tax services have developed several ways to receive tax notifications, as well as a huge number of payment methods - online and offline.

Payment via ATM

Depositing through an ATM is accompanied by the need to first receive a letter for payment, which contains a barcode or other auxiliary information that makes the deposit possible. Depositing through an ATM is also possible using an individual taxpayer number.

A financial institution's ATMs can be divided into machines that accept cash and those that do not. If this is the latter case, then the transaction is impossible without the card of the presented creditor. Other bank cards are not accepted.

If the deposit is made using this financial instrument, no personal data needs to be entered at the ATM. Neither the registration address nor the full name of the person who paid is required. The institution can transfer all data to the Federal Tax Service independently. When paying in cash, you will need to enter registration information and a contact phone number.

Here are step-by-step instructions on how to pay transport tax on a car through a Sberbank ATM:

1. To do this, you need to insert the card into the card reader, if the deposit is made through plastic, or skip this step.
2. Go to the payment for services tab, select the identification method - by TIN or details. Some ATMs require manual entry of details from a payment document. It is possible to register via TIN, but this option is not available at all ATMs.
3. Check the details for correctness and proceed to payment.
4. If you have change, you need to enter the phone number to whose account the balance will be transferred.
5. It is necessary to keep the receipt of the operation performed to minimize the conflict situation.

Sometimes there is a failure in the system, and then those who have already paid the transport tax through Sberbank, and the debt continues to hang, should take a number of measures. In this case, you must contact the Federal Tax Service with an application and attach documents confirming payment. It often happens that the system does not have time to update and the tax is shown as not yet paid. To minimize the conflict, it is worth notifying the Federal Tax Service and providing the organization with documents in the form of a receipt for payment of the required amount.

If there is no update within two months, then it is quite possible that the tax payment did not go through. You must contact the department with your identification document and receipt to clarify this fact. If a failed payment is detected, the funds are returned and the taxpayer deposits the money again.

Paying the transport type fee is quite simple. The main thing is to have the necessary details and access to the Internet from any type of gadget.

What information is needed for payment?

For individuals who own a vehicle, the tax service independently calculates the amount of recovery. The data for this is automatically transferred to the tax authorities when the vehicle is registered to the owner.

The Federal Tax Service sends out the results of transport tax calculations to taxpayers no later than 30 days before the payment deadline - December 1 (in 2021 - until December 3). That is, the notification must arrive to you no later than November 1. This process is repeated every year.

Notifications are usually sent through postal services to the address specified when registering the vehicle owner. A notice and a receipt are sent to the taxpayer - it contains the taxpayer’s personal data and payment details for transferring the tax.

The tax notice contains all the necessary data for payment - this is the last name, first name and patronymic of the owner of the vehicle, his registration address, Taxpayer Identification Number, document index, date of payment, amount. In addition, the document includes information about the tax recipient - BIC, account, TIN, KPP, OKTMO and KBK. There is also a QR code in the upper left part of the receipt, which makes paying tax much easier (a guide to this method is below).

If you are registered on the Federal Tax Service website and received information for logging into the taxpayer’s personal account at the local tax office, then by default the documents are sent only there - in this case you will not receive a notification by mail. In addition to the data for paying tax in your personal account, the Federal Tax Service website contains the history of transactions, detailed information about your movable and immovable property and other important information related to the field of taxation.

Commissions and terms of enrollment, payment status

All tax fees are paid to Sberbank Online without commission, regardless of the amount, region and basis (transport tax, land, property)

According to internal bank rules, the money arrives in the tax service account no later than the next day. However, the client does not have to worry about the timing of enrollment. According to current legislation, obligations are considered paid from the moment payment is confirmed. But provided that there are no errors in the details.

You can provide a receipt as proof of payment. It should be found in the transaction history and printed. If necessary, this can be done at a bank branch, where an employee will stamp and sign the receipt.

You can find out the status of the payment through Internet banking, in the “Transfers and Payments” item, in the “All payments” line. This command will display a list of all transactions performed recently, and their current status will be indicated on the right. Additional information can be found by clicking on the operation you are looking for.

Penalties for non-payment of taxes

The vehicle owner is responsible for the unpaid tax from the first day of delay, from December 2 (December 3 in 2021). Starting from this date, your tax will go into “debt” status, and penalties will be added to the initial amount for each day of delay.

You may also be charged a fine of up to 20% of the amount of unpaid tax if you conceal a taxable item or understate its base value. A 40% fine on tax debt may be imposed upon proof of intentionality of actions. These penalties are imposed by the tax office when an unpaid tax is identified, through a notice or in court.

But that's not all. You may also be assigned an enforcement fee, which is imposed by bailiffs. On this topic, read a separate article: What is the enforcement fee of bailiffs, how not to pay it, reduce it or completely cancel it.

What to do if there is no receipt for payment

If there is no receipt, we recommend contacting the tax office. You should visit the Federal Tax Service office in person at the taxpayer’s place of registration. To obtain information about the tax payment and receipt for payment, you must provide the Federal Tax Service employees with a passport and provide your Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN). When you contact the tax office, you will be provided with a receipt with details, with which you can pay the tax in any of the available ways - through the Sberbank Online website or the application of the same name on your phone, through a bank terminal, on the website of the Federal Tax Service or State Services.

Where to pay taxes without commission?

The Tax Inspectorate sends letters to taxpayers with information about accrued taxes and payment details. It is important to make the payment no later than the specified deadline. Otherwise, penalties will be charged. Tax payment is made in cash or non-cash form.

If the taxpayer does not have a payment notice in hand, he can generate one himself. To do this, you need to go to your personal account on the website of the Federal Tax Service, which is accessible to absolutely all Russians using their TIN number. The second option is to print a receipt after registering with State Services. You can personally contact the Tax Service department and ask for notification.

There are a huge number of options for paying taxes. Some operators and banks charge fees for transfers. Therefore, before completing a transaction, it is necessary to clarify where such a commission does not exist. These are branches and terminals of Sberbank, special services of State Services, the Federal Tax Service website, terminals of some banks.

After making a tax payment, you must keep receipts, checks and other supporting documents for at least 4 years. This rule is established by Art. 23 Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

In addition, it is allowed to make payment for another person, for example, a relative, organization or stranger. To do this, you will need information about the type of tax, TIN, and receipt details. This payment option does not entail any legal consequences.

Alternative payment methods using a Sberbank card

If you are a client of Sberbank, but for some reason do not have access to Sberbank Online, you can use other tax payment services.

On the Federal Tax Service website

For individuals, individual entrepreneurs and organizations, a taxpayer’s personal account is available on the official website of the tax service. Access to it is carried out through the login and password specified in the registration card.

A registration card can be obtained at any tax office, regardless of place of registration and residence, by providing a passport. After this, you will be able to log into your personal account on the Federal Tax Service website and view your tax data online.

The service allows you to obtain complete information about the objects you own and make payments online. It's very convenient, you don't have to go anywhere. By the way, you can pay taxes through your personal account not only with a Sberbank card, but also with any other card.

1 Log in to your personal account by filling out the login and password fields.

2 You will be redirected to the main page, where the total amount of tax payments is already indicated. The payment deadline is also shown at the top of the screen. If you click on the "Details" button, the system will show you the available tax objects and the tax amount for each of them.

3 In the window that opens, click on the “Transport tax” button.

You can then save the receipt to your computer or print it out immediately.

If the payment was successful, then you will be transferred to the personal account of the Federal Tax Service, where the following good news will await you:

Note: In some cases, payment information will not be reflected in your “Personal Account” immediately - the system will take 10 working days to register the payment. But in most cases, the system will immediately show you that there is no tax debt.

On the government services website

The State Services service allows you to perform many different operations, including paying transport tax. The only drawback is that you must be registered in the system and have a password to access the data (this can be obtained by writing a corresponding application at the Federal Tax Service office).

How to find out if the payment went through

First of all, you, as a taxpayer, should be concerned about whether the payment for the transport tax has gone through or not, because in the event of a payment error, the tax office will not figure out who is right and who is wrong and will charge you with penalties. You can check whether the money has reached the tax authorities online, on the official website of the Federal Tax Service.

To do this, you need to go to the “Personal Taxpayer Account” on the portal of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation. If taxes have been successfully paid, information about this will appear in the “My Taxes” menu. Go there, and opposite the subsection “Transport tax” you will see the inscription: “Payable: 0.00 rub.”

You can also find out whether the tax payment has been made by installing the official application of the Federal Tax Service of Russia “Taxes FL”. This is a mobile analogue of the “Taxpayer’s Personal Account”, so to log in, just like on the official website, you will first need to obtain a password from the Federal Tax Service. The passwords for the application and the official website are identical, so if you have already received a password to access the “Taxpayer’s Personal Account,” then use it.

If you doubt that your tax payment has been completed, we recommend that you personally visit the Federal Tax Service office in your region - employees are required to provide you with complete information about your paid taxes and existing debts.

What to do if the debt has not disappeared

If the payment status has not changed, do not be alarmed - the data is not updated immediately; as a rule, several days must pass for the payment system to recalculate. In this case, the exact deadline for completing the operation depends on the specific payment system.

Information on the official website of the Federal Tax Service confirms that data on the tax transaction will be available in the taxpayer’s personal account within 10 working days. This period is allotted for the receipt of funds from the payment system, processing of documents and rewriting information about the status of the payment.

Please note that the time the payment is processed by the service is not the date the tax amount is credited. The day on which you completed the payment transaction will be considered reporting, even though the information in the taxpayer’s personal account has not yet been updated. Accordingly, penalties are not accrued for the period of payment. Sometimes an error occurs and penalties are imposed on the tax amount during the period when payment information is received. Don’t worry - if the payment was made on time, the accrued penalties will be canceled automatically. Therefore, we recommend that you save all receipts and receipts to confirm to the tax authorities that you did everything on time.
