The tax tightens control over the rental of apartments

Today, landlords who own several apartments need to take into account the growing interest of the tax service in their income. It's no secret that the Federal Tax Service has access to all information about non-cash payments of Russians. Accordingly, all transfers are tracked and analyzed. Rental ads on the Internet are taken into account, and the owners' data is checked with the help of Rosreestr. Complaints from neighbors and conflicts with tenants can also cause increased interest of employees of the tax service.

But the presence of several apartments does not mean that there is rental income, so the fact of receiving money must be proved. To do this, the Federal Tax Service can use witness statements, receipts for receiving funds, as well as bank account statements. If the fact of profit is confirmed, you will still have to pay taxes, as well as fines, depending on the amount of hidden income.But there are legitimate ways to reduce the tax burden and sleep peacefully.

For example, it is advantageous for citizens to register self-employment and pay taxes in the amount of 4-6%. The exception is the rental of apartments. They are taxed at 13%. Therefore, if there are several apartments, it is better to open an individual entrepreneur with a "simplified" and pay 6%. It is worth noting that it is impossible to rent apartments in the status of self-employed. You can also apply for a patent for any time period and deduct 6% of the possible annual income from renting an apartment.
