Fine for late registration

Upon request, specialists from the Value Added Tax Administration Department of the State Tax Committee explained: 1) how to register for mandatory registration as a VAT payer; 2) why a taxpayer who has not done this in a timely manner cannot issue VAT invoices, and his counterparties cannot exercise the right to offset such invoices; 3) what penalties are provided for violation of the order of supply for registration as a VAT payer:

– “Taxpayers subject to mandatory registration as a VAT payer must submit an application to the tax authority in the prescribed form through the taxpayer’s personal account no later than the 5th day of the month from which they are required to switch to paying VAT.

The application must be submitted through the “Registration as a VAT payer” service in the taxpayer’s personal account.

Fill out the application form and click on the “Submit” button.

Filling out the form is as automated as possible; the data is taken from your credentials. Any questions that arise can be clarified by calling the specified telephone number of a tax department employee.

Registration with the tax authorities as a VAT payer is a condition for crediting VAT amounts.

The taxpayer has the right to reduce the total amount of tax calculated in accordance with the Tax Code by offsetting the amount of tax paid (payable) on goods (services) actually received. To do this, 2 conditions must be met:

1) for the goods (services) received, the taxpayer received an invoice or other document presented by the supplier, in which the amount of tax is separately allocated;

2) the supplier of goods (services) is registered as a taxpayer.

Taxpayers have the right to offset only VAT amounts paid (to be paid) to suppliers of goods (services) registered as VAT payers. Therefore, providing the opportunity to issue ESF with VAT for the period before obtaining a VAT payer certificate is inappropriate.

Late registration with the tax authorities as a VAT payer is a violation of the established procedure and in accordance with Art. 219 of the Tax Code entails a fine in the amount of 5% of income received for the period from the date of registration provided for by tax legislation to the date of actual registration, but not less than 5 million UZS.”

The amount of the state duty depends on the payment method. When paying through State Services by non-cash method there is a 30% discount:

Total – 1300 rubles.

Registration of a car with a new title and new license plates will cost 3,300 rubles (1,300 rubles + fee for issuing state signs).

What is the fine for a driver for not registering a car?

A driver who drives a vehicle that is not properly registered is also subject to administrative liability. If you are stopped by a traffic police officer, then a fine for failure to register a car under Part 1 of Art. 12.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation will range from 500 to 800 rubles.

Driving a vehicle that is not registered in the prescribed manner shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of five hundred to eight hundred rubles.

Part 1 art. 12.1 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation

If, after the punishment is imposed, you still do not register the car, then the next fine for not registering the car will be much more severe.

Repeated commission of an administrative offense provided for in Part 1 of this article shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of five thousand rubles or deprivation of the right to drive vehicles for a period of one to three months.

How to register correctly

First, the driver needs to decide whether his vehicle is subject to registration with the traffic police.

According to paragraph 1 of the Order, cars and motorcycles with an engine capacity of more than 50 cubic meters and with a maximum design speed of more than 50 km/h are subject to registration.

Next, you need to determine where to go. According to clause 6 of the Regulations, the state service “State service for registration of motor vehicles...” is provided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, and direct provision is provided by divisions of the State Traffic Inspectorate.

Then you will need to decide on the method of submitting the application and related documents. You can carry out the process by submitting all the papers in person, or by submitting them electronically through State Services. The list of required documents is specified in clause 15 of the Regulations.

The applicant also needs to pay a state fee (its amount is discussed below in the article).

After receiving the application, the authorized traffic police officer will carry out administrative procedures, the list of which is given in clauses 32.2, 32.4, 32.5, 32.6, 32.7, 32.8, 32.9.

Regulations, namely:

checking documents, sending interdepartmental requests (for example, a request is sent to the RSA in order to confirm the issuance of such and such a policy, the policy itself may not be provided - clause 17.5 of the Regulations);
vehicle inspection;
rendering a verdict on registration or refusal of registration (the list of grounds for refusal is given in clause 24 of the Regulations);
paperwork;
entering information into AIS;
issuance of STS and GRZ.

Fine for an expired car purchase agreement

The purchase and sale agreement does not have an expiration date, so there is no need to worry about what will happen if it expires. However, by late agreement we mean a 10-day delay in registering the car by the new owner. In the case of purchasing a car, this period is calculated from the date of conclusion of the purchase and sale agreement.

If you do not have time to register your car, you will be held administratively liable. The fact that the car purchase and sale agreement has expired upon registration will certainly be noticed by the traffic police officers, since to register a car, the purchase and sale agreement must also be presented among all the documents.

If you have expired the car purchase and sale agreement, pay the fine and register the car as soon as possible. There are no other options.

The rules for registering a car if the purchase and sale agreement for a car has expired are no different from regular vehicle registration. You will need the same set of documents and an application for car registration. Information on what documents need to be collected, as well as a sample of filling out the application, can be found in the article “Documents for registering a car with the traffic police.”

When does it take effect?

This is not known yet. As of May 28, 2021, the new law is still at the stage of being introduced into the Duma. And this project awaits several more stages:

registration in the State Duma,
1 reading, within which a new bill may be rejected,
2 reading with the same prospects,
3 reading, where also the update may be rejected,
adoption by the Duma (if the draft passes in all 3 readings),
signing by the President of Russia,
official publication.

And only 10 days after publication, a new fine for late registration of a car will enter into legal force and acquire official status. Only then will MREO inspectors be able to start fining drivers with new amounts.
