State duty when entering into an inheritance by law and will in 2021

16

Entry into inheritance rights occurs after the death of the testator. Heirs can formalize an inheritance in 2 ways - by will or by law. When preparing papers, the heir incurs a number of expenses. The main payment is the state fee for issuing the certificate. Its value is determined by the norms of Tax legislation. Additional expenses include paying for the services of a notary who opens an inheritance case. Let's consider how the state duty is calculated when entering into an inheritance according to law and will in 2021.

Percentage and amount of state duty for inheritance

The amount of the fee is determined by law and depends on the degree of family relations and the price of the property. The tax rate reduction is provided only for the preferential category of applicants.

Duty amount in 2021

Additional services are paid separately. Their cost is determined for a specific situation.

This includes:

• expert assessment of property;
• notarial services;
• payment of the testator's debts (if any);
• filing an application with the court (for example, establishing a legally significant fact);
• lawyer services (drawing up a claim, representing interests in court);
• registration of property after receiving a certificate.

By will

Expert opinion

Stanislav Evseev

Lawyer. Experience 12 years. Specialization: civil, family, inheritance law.

Inheritance of property under a will is considered a priority. The testator independently determines in the administrative document the circle of heirs who can lay claim to his assets. Documents are processed at the place of registration of the deceased citizen. All expenses for paying taxes fall on the shoulders of the heirs.

What percentage is paid for inheritance under a will? The amount of the duty is determined by Article 333.24 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. The amount of tax does not depend on the method of receiving the property. The state fee is paid before filing an application for inheritance rights.

When registering an inheritance under a will, the successor does not have to confirm family ties. However, if he does not provide the necessary documents, the duty is calculated in the general manner (0.6% of the value of the property received).

If a citizen is a close relative and has the right to apply a preferential duty rate, then he is required to submit a list of documentation confirming the family connection:

• birth certificate;
• marriage certificate;
• court decision to establish the fact of family ties.

Sample application for acceptance of inheritance under a will

By law (without a will)

If the testator did not leave an administrative document, then the inheritance occurs in the order of priority determined by law. Heirs of the same line are entitled to equal shares.

An exception is made for persons entering into an inheritance as a representative. For example, if a deceased heir leaves 2 children, then his share is divided between them in equal parts.

The amount of state duty when accepting an inheritance is also established by Article 333.24 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. The right to pay the duty at a preferential rate is given to the heirs of the 1st and 2nd stages. Since entering into an inheritance is possible by law only with confirmation of family ties, the procedure for calculating the duty is established by default.

Answer

Fee for entering into inheritance in standard situations

The amount of the duty does not depend on the type of inherited property. It is established depending on the value of the objects and the presence/absence of family ties between the recipient and the testator.

However, the amount of payment for notary services directly depends on the type of property. The cost of the certificate varies depending on the presence/absence of real estate as part of the estate.

Important! The amount is paid by each legal successor for each object in the certificate.

The tariff amount is set by the regional notary chamber. However, the tariff is marginal.

Each notary chamber may set a lower amount. The main thing is not to exceed the established limit.

Example. In the Amur Region, the fee for issuing a certificate of inheritance rights in the absence of real estate is 2,700 rubles. And if there is real estate as part of the inherited property, each heir will have to pay 3,400 rubles for each object.

2. The provisions of this article shall apply subject to the provisions of Articles 333.35

and
333.38
of this Code.

Benefits upon inheritance

When opening an inheritance, not all categories of relatives are required to pay a state fee. Benefits are available to:

• disabled people or WWII participants;
• heroes of the USSR/RF;
• Knights of the Order of Glory.
• disabled people of groups 1 and 2 pay 50% of the accrued tax amount when inheriting property.

In addition, if the potential heir lived with the deceased person for the last 6 months, then he is exempt from paying the fee. No duty is paid on the bank deposits of the deceased.

Categories of citizens exempt from paying state duties and technical services

Articles 333.35, 333.38 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation determine the list of persons who are completely exempt from paying state duties or who are entitled to discounts when entering into an inheritance. These include:

• heroes of Russia or the Soviet Union;
• participants or disabled people of the Second World War;
• former prisoners of war, prisoners of the Nazis;
• disabled people of groups I and II (50% discount on all notary services);
• people receiving real estate or a share where they lived with the deceased;
• people acting in the interests of wards and minor children;
• citizens registering rights to deposits, insurance payments, royalties;
• persons whose successors are people who died during public service, political repression, or while saving people.

Discounts are provided based on documents presented at the notary's office. Moreover, if the property is inherited by several persons, and one of them is exempt from payment, the state duty is reduced in proportion to the number of heirs.

Who is exempt from state duty when entering into an inheritance?

A certificate of property rights is issued without paying a fee:

• heirs who are relatives of the testator who died during the performance of his official duty;
• persons who inherited insurance payments (personal or property insurance), wages, royalties or bank deposits.

To use preferential rights, you must provide supporting documents.

Important! Beneficiaries are exempt from paying only state fees. Notary services must be paid in full.

Is tax due paid?

Until 2005, citizens paid tax on inherited property. But this norm was abolished. In accordance with paragraph 18 of Art. 217 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, income received as a result of inheritance is exempt from taxation.

However, you will still have to pay a fee when inheriting:

• Rewards for creating an original work of science and literature.
• An object of art, if it is sold.
• Rewards for invention, creation of an industrial design or utility model.

How is the state duty on inheritance calculated?

There are many factors that influence the final payment amount. For example, the value of inherited assets, the number of participants, the share of each applicant, the availability of benefits.

Also, when calculating the amount of the fee, you can use different types of value (inventory, market, cadastral). The heir independently chooses the indicator for calculation.

The notary cannot insist on a certain type of assessment or make recommendations. The choice depends on the wishes of the heir.

However, the law prohibits the use of inventory value for apartments that were built after 2013. Since they are not technically registered. Since 2013, the powers to register real estate have been transferred to Rosreestr.

Example. After the death of my parents, I was left with a 2-room apartment. The heirs are two daughters who have reached adulthood. No will was made. The estimated cost of the object is 2,300,000 rubles. The tax amount for relatives of the 1st stage is 0.3%. The contribution amount is 6900 rubles. (2,300,000 x 0.3%). Consequently, each heir must pay 3,450 rubles. But, since one of the daughters has lived with her parents for the last 2 years, she is exempt from paying the mandatory fee.

How much does it cost to register an inheritance with a notary for a house and land?

You can estimate the approximate amount of costs for registering an inheritance, when its object is a house and land, by imagining the following situation.

The father left his only son a house (7 million rubles) and a plot of land (2 million rubles). For each of the objects there are title documents, and data on the cadastral value has been obtained. The son's expenses will be:

• The state fee for obtaining a certificate is 0.3% * 9 million = 27 thousand rubles.
• UPTH - 6 thousand * 2 = 12 thousand rubles.
• Registration of a house and land plot in Rosreestr - 2 thousand and 350 rubles. respectively.

In total, the total amount of expenses will be 41,350 rubles.

If there are no title documents for the house and land plot, the total amount of expenses may increase to 50 thousand.

The costs of notary services depend on the circumstances and conditions of inheritance. Their cost is influenced by the following factors:

• Is there a will or is inheritance carried out by law?
• Does the heir participate personally or through a representative.
• Do you have title documents for the property or do they need to be restored?

How much does it cost to inherit a house after your mother's death?

The costs in such a situation will be similar to the costs listed above, with the exception of the costs of issuing a certificate for a land plot and its re-registration.

If the heir lived with his mother, he is exempt from paying state duty.

Taking the above example as a basis, provided that the son and mother lived together, the costs will amount to 8 thousand rubles. (6,000 UPTH + 2,000 registration of property rights).

How much does it cost to inherit an apartment?

Let's look at the cost of inheriting an apartment using an example.

After the death of her father, the daughter received a two-room apartment. The cadastral value of the property is 5 million rubles. Since the daughter lived separately (she was not entitled to benefits), the state duty will be: 5,000,000 * 0.3% = 15 thousand rubles. Registration of ownership of an apartment will cost 2 thousand rubles.

In total, the total amount of expenses is 20,350 rubles, where 3 thousand (notary services), 350 (certificate of cadastral value), 15 thousand (state duty) and 2 thousand (re-registration of the apartment).

If the apartment has not been privatized, then it will not be included in the inheritance mass. So, in accordance with Art. 1112 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, it includes property that belonged to the testator at the time of death. A non-privatized apartment is not the property of the deceased.

However, if the testator began the process of re-registering it as property during his lifetime, it may be included in the inheritance.

What is the cost of inheriting after the death of a husband?

In addition to the expenses mentioned, spouses may be faced with the need to allocate a marital share.

Let's consider an approximate algorithm for calculating expenses.

After the death of her husband, mother and daughter inherited a two-room apartment. The cadastral value of the property is 5 million rubles. The apartment was jointly acquired property, respectively, 50% belongs to the wife and another ¼ is due to her by inheritance. The spouse is exempt from paying state duty because she lived together with the testator.

The cost of notary services will be approximately 3 thousand and 200 rubles. for the allocation of the marital share. Obtaining a certificate of cadastral value 350 rubles. In total, the wife will have to pay 3,550 rubles.

What is the cost of registering an inheritance with a notary after the death of one of the parents?

When registering an inheritance after the death of a mother or father, you should take into account the above recommendations. The cost of expenses is calculated similarly to the examples discussed.

The total cost is affected by:

• Living together with a deceased parent.
• The need to evaluate objects of inheritance.
• Availability of title documents.
• Whether the successor participates personally or through a representative.

Where can I get a property valuation?

Since the amount of the duty paid depends on the value of the property, there is a need for an assessment. Heirs need to contact the appropriate organization.

To assess the land, you can visit Rosreestr or another specialized organization at the location of the site. A written agreement will also be required.

An apartment assessment report can be obtained from the BTI (built before 2013) or from a commercial organization. The cost of services of appraisal companies starts from 3,000 rubles.

The assessment is carried out taking into account the requirements of the Federal Law dated July 29, 1998 No. 135-FZ. The period for assessing real estate ranges from 5–7 days. The deadline is 1 month.

Much depends on the intended purpose of the property and its market value. In the case of plots of land, their size is also taken into account. The valuation of a vehicle is carried out according to the same scheme as real estate.

If the subject of the inheritance is shares or money in foreign currency, then the amount of the fee will be determined in accordance with the Central Bank exchange rate on the day the inheritance is opened.

After the property has been assessed, the heirs must be given an act (report). Based on it, the amount of state duty is calculated.

Example : Citizen A. received an apartment by right of inheritance. After visiting the notary, he was told that a real estate appraisal was required. Not knowing all the details, citizen A. contacted the specified company. The apartment was assessed at a market value of 2,500,000 rubles. Calculation of the duty amount – 2,500,000 x 0.3% = 7,500 rubles. Later, the heir learned from a lawyer friend that there are 3 types of valuation, and the market one is the most disadvantageous in terms of the amount of the duty. Having contacted the BTI, citizen A. received a different assessment amount - 812,000 rubles. Calculation of the tax amount – 812,000 x 0.3% = 2,436 rubles. Ultimately, option 2 was chosen, where the amount of the fee decreased by more than 3 times.

If it is impossible to determine the value of the inheritance: valuation of the inherited property

Payment of the state fee for entering into an inheritance is a necessary legal requirement for the successor. As far as we know, the amount of the contribution depends on the price of the property, amounting to 0.3% and 0.6% of its value. To correctly calculate the amount of the fee, the notary needs to know the value of the property. This is the only reason why a property valuation should be carried out upon taking possession.

Heirs have the right to independently choose the method of property valuation: at market or cadastral value. You can find out the value of real estate from the state’s point of view on the State Register website without paying - any specialist can enter the resource and obtain information. Obtaining a market valuation involves expenses. To carry out the procedure, you must use the help of independent appraisers or authorized government bodies who will charge a fee for their services.

Depending on the region, the real estate valuation procedure costs 5-10 thousand rubles. It can be economically justified only if the cadastral value of the property significantly exceeds the market value.

Note! In addition to real estate, all types of property of the deceased that require registration are subject to assessment: transport, shares, bonds, business, weapons. Items must be appraised within six months after the death of the testator.

You can find out how much they pay for the valuation of various inheritance objects in the table:

How is the state duty paid?

Duty Payment Options

Due date

Interested parties are given 6 months to enter into inheritance. The countdown of time begins from the moment of death of the testator.

Heirs can contact the notary immediately after receiving the death certificate. Applicants need to pay 100 rubles for submitting an initial application.

After six months, you will need to visit the notary again and pay the notary fee in full. The basis for calculating the amount of the fee is an expert assessment. It must be ordered as of the date of death of the owner.

Important! According to the law, the heir does not need to rush to carry out the assessment. If during the inheritance process a successor under the will is identified, the funds will be wasted.

How much does it cost to register property rights?

After receiving a certificate of inheritance, the successor must contact the appropriate government agency to re-register ownership.

Registration of a private house or apartment is carried out in Rosreestr according to the tariffs established by Art. 333.33 Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

The cost of re-issuing documents for these objects will be 2 thousand rubles. For re-registration of a share in the right of common shared ownership, you will also have to pay 2 thousand rubles. State registration of ownership of a land plot will cost 350 rubles.

The list of tariffs for performing registration actions in relation to real estate can also be found on the Rosreestr website.

The registration of a vehicle is carried out by the territorial division of the traffic police. The costs will be 850 rubles. For changing license plates, the fee will be 2,850 rubles. You must register your car within 10 days. Violation of the established deadline is punishable by a fine.

When the successor received funds in a bank account as an inheritance, nothing needs to be paid. The heir must contact the bank with an application to withdraw funds from the account and provide a certificate of title to the property of the deceased.

Additional costs

In addition to the mandatory inheritance fee, you will also need to pay notary fees, which include the services of a probate specialist.

The cost is formed from a number of payments:

• announcement of the text of the will – 300 rubles;
• safety of property entrusted to the notary – 300 rubles;
• signature authentication – 100 rubles.

Costs when going to court

The amount of state duty when inheriting property is determined by law. However, its size may change if the heir asserts his rights in court.

Example. To challenge a will or to extend the period for entering into inheritance, the applicant must separately pay 300 rubles. The same applies if the establishment of legal facts is required.

The services of a lawyer (preparing a claim, representing the interests of the plaintiff in court) are also paid separately. After the completion of the legal proceedings, the heir will have to pay the state fee in the general manner when contacting a notary office.

What can you save on?

Often, notaries are persuaded to make a separate copy of the certificate for each heir. They strongly recommend that you draw up a document for any object from the will. Each additional certificate costs money, but whether to do it or not is a personal matter; the procedure established by law does not oblige you to do so.

Evaluation of successors, incl. pensioners must do it at their own expense. Independent organizations or BTI will help with this. In order for a pensioner to save money, it is necessary to take into account the cadastral value, which is lower than the market value. In order for the property to be calculated at the cadastral price, the pensioner needs to contact the BTI.

Regions have their own benefits for a certain category of citizens, including pensioners. Before completing all the paperwork, it is recommended to ask a representative of the notary’s office to tell you about your rights and ask other questions about receiving an inheritance. In addition, the legislation is changeable, but all the benefits mentioned earlier are valid to this day in the Russian Federation. You can find out information on other countries on the corresponding Internet resources. For example, information on Ukraine is on the state’s legal portal.

Thus, pensioners will not be able to receive an inheritance without spending their own money. Even if the heir is one of the persons entitled to benefits, in any case he will have to pay notary services, property tax, etc.
