The authorities of the Russian regions began to arrange mass raids and raids on citizens who secretly rent out housing to tenants and do not pay taxes.

Officials involved not only employees of municipal inspections, but also house managers in the search for secret employers, Rossiyskaya Gazeta reports.

“Tax inspectorates began sending letters to management companies with a request to report confirmed facts of renting out housing”, - notes the finanz.ru edition.

Such requests have already come to the management companies of the Vologda, Saratov, Orenburg regions and a number of million-plus cities. In some regions, the work carried out with building managers has already yielded the first results. So, in Khabarovsk, thanks to raids, 70 illegal landlords were identified, information about which was immediately received by the tax inspectorate.

In Orekhovo-Zuevo near Moscow, the budget received an additional 785,000 rubles in taxes thanks to house-to-house raids. During inspections, officials found 34 secretly rented apartments. During the year, their owners concealed from the tax an average of 23 thousand rubles.

Economists have calculated that the “gray” housing rental market in Russia causes serious damage to the budget, which, because of this, annually loses about 162 billion rubles.

To combat the practice of "gray lease", the government presented a project on the creation of a state information system (GIS). All landlords will be required to register in it all contracts for the rental of apartments, apartments and parking spaces. Those who refuse to do so will be fined. For individuals, fines will range from 500 to 5,000 rubles, for legal entities - from 5 to 50 thousand.

According to government estimates, today every tenth family lives in rented apartments, while only 7% of the total housing stock in the country is officially rented out - about 250 million square meters. meters. If the system works, over 62 billion rubles will go to the treasury over the next two years.

Introducing the new system, the government explains what is happening with the need to "whitewash the market and protect the interests of employers".

At the same time, many tenants indicate that the owners of square meters for the most part do not want to bear the burden of paying taxes and warn tenants that if they want an “official” contract, then the rent amount must be automatically multiplied by 13% - the amount of income tax in the country .

Earlier it was reported that since the beginning of 2022, changes to tax legislation have come into force, and such useful and necessary buildings in the economy as greenhouses, baths and sheds are full-fledged objects of taxation. In addition, Russians will have to pay taxes on dividends received from bank deposits.
