Land tax declaration

According to the tax code of the Russian Federation, land assets are subject to land tax. The tax period for land tax is one year. At the end of the tax period, a company must report a land tax declaration.

The land tax declaration should be submitted to the tax authority where the land is located. In this case, code 270 should be entered for the at place of attribute. However, the greatest taxpayers can submit declarations to the tax authority where the organization is registered as a greatest taxpayer. In this case, code 213 should be entered for the at place of attribute.

The tax base for the calculation of land tax is the cadastral cost of the land asset. The cadastral cost is defined by cadastral authorities and should be specified by the user on the fixed asset card.

Special coefficients that depend on the building period will be applied to land assets of this type when land tax is calculated. If the construction period exceeded three years during the tax period, the land tax declaration will include two occurrences of Section 3: one occurrence for land tax before three years passed and one occurrence for land tax after three years passed.

  7. On the Tax reporting FastTab, in the Land tax section, in the Tax base field, enter the cadastral cost of the land.

  8. In the Sales tax code field, select the sales tax code for the assessed tax calculation.

  9. If you partially own the fixed asset, in the Owned share numerator and Owned share denominator fields, define your ownership share as a simple fraction.

Specify the location of the land

By default, the assumption is that land assets are located at the organization's location and reported to the tax authority in the legal entity's territory. (The OKTMO code of the tax authority matches the OKTMO code of the legal entity, and land assets are reported under the same OKTMO code.)

If the organization has land assets that are located in different territories and registered in different tax authorities, you must specify the location of the land asset.

  1. Go to Fixed assets (Russia) > Common > Fixed assets.

  2. Select the line for the land asset.

  8. If you partially own the fixed asset, in the Owned share numerator and Owned share denominator fields, define your ownership share in the specified territory as a simple fraction.

    Note

    When the line for the change in cadastral value is created, the Tax base and Sales tax fields in the fixed asset record can no longer be edited.

Change the cadastral cost of land and specify the tax allowance history

The cadastral cost of a land asset might change because of a change in qualitative and quantitative characteristics. Follow these steps to record a change in cadastral value.

  1. Go to Fixed assets (Russia) > Common > Fixed assets.

  2. Select the line for the land asset.

  3. On the Action Pane, on the Fixed asset tab, in the History group, select Tax reporting data.

    Note

    If this change is the first change in cadastral value, you must also create a line for the previous values that were originally entered in the fixed asset record.

    When the line for the change in cadastral value is created, corresponding fields in the fixed asset record can no longer be edited. They show the actual values from the tax reporting data history record.

    Use the History of tax reporting data page to define the history of tax allowance changes.

  7. In the Land tax exemption (art 387) field, specify the code for the tax allowance as an exemption from tax in accordance with federal law. Alternatively, in the Land tax exemption (art 395) field, specify the code for the tax allowance as an exemption from tax in accordance with regional law.

  8. Set the Land tax allowance as non-taxable share field, if it's applicable.

    When the values for tax allowances are added, corresponding fields in the fixed asset record show the actual values from the tax reporting data history record.

Change the cadastral cost of a distributed land asset

If the cadastral cost of a land asset that is located in several territories changes, follow these steps to specify the new cadastral cost in each territory.

  1. Go to Fixed assets (Russia) > Common > Fixed assets.

  2. Select the line for the land asset.

  3. On the Action Pane, on the Fixed asset tab, in the Distribution group, select Distribution.

  4. Select the line for the distribution, and then, on the Action Pane, select History.

  5. Create a line.

  6. In the Period field, specify the month when the cadastral value is changing.

Calculate land tax registers

After you've finished the setup, registered the acquisition of land assets, and set up all land asset parameters for land tax calculation, you must calculate land tax registers. The following tax registers are available:

  • Land tax – ground areas – This tax register calculates land tax for each land asset. For each land asset that is located in a territory that is specified by an OKTMO code, the register shows the following information:

    • The land category and cadastral number.
  • Design and building period – The possible values are 3 years and More than 3 years.

    • The cadastral cost, and the owned share as a simple fraction.

    • Tax allowance codes and amounts.

    • The tax base in the specified territory and the tax rate.

    • The ownership period and factor, if the land was acquired or sold during the period, or if the housing building period exceeded three years during the period.

    • The cost change period and factor, if the cadastral cost changed during the period.

  • Calculated advance payment/Tax – If the tax register is calculated for the first quarter, second quarter, or third quarter, the tax advance amount before tax allowances are applied as a reduction of the tax rate or a reduction of tax amount. If the tax register is calculated for the year, the land tax amount before tax allowances are applied as a reduction of the tax rate or a reduction of the tax amount.

  • Advance payment amount/Tax amount – If the tax register is calculated for the first quarter, second quarter, or third quarter, the final tax advance amount. If the tax register is calculated for the year, the final land tax amount.

  • Land tax – This tax register calculates total land tax amounts for each sales tax code and OKTMO code.
