Procedure for returning state duty paid through Sberbank

Grounds for refund of state duty

The traffic police is a government organization that provides a wide range of services: registration of vehicles, recycling, obtaining driver's licenses, replacement of documents, etc. With each application, citizens are required to pay a state fee, otherwise the service will not be provided.

It often happens that people have to return the state duty.

• An excess amount has been paid. For example, if by law you need to pay 350 rubles, but a person mistakenly entered 550 rubles. or another figure, an amount exceeding the established amount can be returned.
• If the provision of a public service was refused by decision of an authorized traffic police officer.
• If the citizen himself first paid the state fee and then refused to receive a government service.

Other situations may arise in which you have to contact the traffic police for a fee refund. It should be taken into account that when it comes to state fees for the court, documents are submitted to the Federal Tax Service. In other cases, they need to be sent to the road inspection - a government agency directly involved in the provision of services.

Possible reasons for refusal

In some situations, in response to an application for a refund, you may receive a refusal.

• Indication of inaccurate data when filling out an application - full name, details, etc. are written incorrectly.
• The appeal was submitted by a person who does not have the necessary power of attorney.
• The application is not accompanied by evidence of payment of the state duty - a receipt or invoice.
• Changing the registration data of a vehicle for which the fee was paid.

If the payer believes that the return of the overpayment was denied to him unlawfully, he can apply to the courts to protect his interests. According to Art. No. 227 of the Administrative Code , a judge has the right to cancel and suspend decisions of government bodies if certain violations are identified.

Personally at the traffic police

A personal visit to the traffic police is the easiest, but time-consuming way. It is good because if questions and problems arise during the preparation of documents, traffic police inspectors usually provide citizens with advice.

The disadvantage of visiting on your own is the time it takes: you will have to get to the department, then take a ticket at the terminal and wait your turn. This can take from 30 minutes to 2-3 hours depending on the workload of the department.

1. Refusal to purchase a vehicle - if the fee has been paid, all documents have been submitted for registration, but the transfer of rights becomes impossible due to the refusal to purchase the car.

A refund is also possible if the state duty of the traffic police is calculated incorrectly - payment in a larger amount than provided by law.
3. Refusal of service is allowed in exceptional cases with an individual resolution of the dispute and the circumstances that caused such consequences for the applicant. If no errors were made on the part of the traffic police department providing the service, then no refund will be made.
4. Cancellation of a traffic police resolution - if a fine was imposed in pursuance of the act, but was subsequently canceled on the basis of a court decision, the requirements of the state body are declared illegal.

Attention
Whatever the basis for the return of the state duty of the traffic police, the applicant has the right to submit an application and the employees of the state body cannot refuse to accept it. The result should be the adoption of an act that records the factual circumstances of the case and the grounds for making such a decision.

Sample application for duty refund

Applying for a duty refund through “State Services ” online is the most convenient option today. To do this, you only need to have a gadget with Internet access: PC, smartphone, laptop. This option makes it unnecessary to make a personal visit to the traffic police to submit an application, or to visit a post office to send an application by registered mail. “Gosuslugi” is not a separate site that independently performs the necessary legal actions.

It acts as an intermediary , allowing you to receive the required services remotely, connecting the user with the online resource of a certain government agency.

An application for a refund of state duty in paper format is submitted directly to the local traffic police department or sent by mail. When drawing up a document, you must be guided by the rules established by Federal Law No. 59 “On Citizens’ Appeals.” According to the standards prescribed therein, the application must have a standard structure and contain certain information.

1. In the upper right corner of the sheet there is a so-called “header”. It indicates: the applicant’s details (full name, address of residence, contact telephone number), name of the state institution receiving the application.
2. The main text contains information regarding the reason for the appeal. Time of payment of the fee, amount of funds transferred, reasons for return.

4. At the end of the paper, the date of its preparation and the personal signature of the applicant are indicated. Without this, the application is considered anonymous and will not be accepted for consideration.

There is no clearly regulated form for drawing up an application for the return of a sum of money. Therefore, the document is drawn up on a sheet of A-4 format in free form - handwritten, or printed through a printer.

In some cases, regional State Traffic Inspectorate authorities may introduce their own forms for filing applications. You can get them at the traffic police department, or print them from the official website of the local department.

A sample application for refund of overpaid state duty is presented below:

If the fee is not returned on time

If you sent an appeal, but did not receive a response and the money is not transferred either, a penalty begins to accrue.

where SV is the amount to be returned, KDP is the number of days of delay, SR Central Bank is the refinancing rate of the Central Bank.

Let's look at a practical example:

The citizen mistakenly paid an excess of 500 rubles, submitted documents for a refund, but did not receive a response. The number of days overdue at the time of calculation is 20.

If the state duty is not returned to you in a timely manner, you can appeal the inaction of the traffic police officers through a higher-ranking head of the department.

2. Submit a complaint along with other documents for consideration.
3. Wait for a response – it will arrive within 1 month.

If the fault is really with the department, the money will be transferred to you as soon as possible. If the complaint is refused, an official response will be sent from the traffic police explaining the reasons. If you disagree with them, you can appeal the refusal in court.

When will the state duty not be refunded?

Refund of state fees may be refused in several situations:

• The deadline for submitting documents has been missed - 3 years. As mentioned earlier, in this case it will have to be restored first, and only after that will the money be returned.
• There were serious errors in the application: the name or address of the department was incorrectly indicated, reliable personal data was missing, and bank details were entered incorrectly.
• Lack of evidence of payment of state duty. If you made a payment through a bank cash desk, you need to save the receipt. If the operation was performed through your personal bank account online, you can find it in the history and print the receipt yourself.
• An unauthorized person contacts the traffic police. If a person who wants to return the money cannot submit documents on his own, he can do this through a legal representative by proxy. If there is no power of attorney, the inspector will refuse admission.

There may be other reasons - they are always indicated in a written notification from the traffic police. If your refund is denied, you can eliminate the reason and submit the documents again.

The fee is a mandatory government fee for providing assistance in matters of various nature: registering property rights, obtaining a driver’s license or a new category, sending for recycling. It is paid through the government services portal, through special terminals in banks, and at traffic inspection offices.
