Property tax is calculated taking into account the cadastral value of real estate. Depending on the type of real estate (land, private house, apartment, garage, etc.), there are rules for calculating tax based on the cadastral value.
In this article we will briefly and step-by-step analyze examples of calculating tax based on cadastral value in 2021. To do this, we will consider all the components of the tax calculation formula taking into account the types of real estate.
Types of real estate for paying tax at cadastral value
Taxes are imposed only on those properties that are registered in the cadastral register. Registered real estate is assessed by the state and each property has its own cadastral value.
Taxes are paid based on the cadastral value and taking into account tax rates and benefits. Let's look at how taxes are paid based on the cadastral value of the following types of real estate:
- land plot
- residential (private) house
- garden house
- apartment (room)
- other real estate objects
Let us briefly consider the procedure for paying tax at cadastral value in 2021 for each type of real estate separately.
Who has land tax benefits?
In accordance with paragraph 3 of Article 498 of the Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the following categories of persons are not recognized as payers of land tax (i.e. are not required to pay it):
- Unified Agricultural Tax payers (farmers, peasant farms);
- government institutions (including correctional institutions);
- religious associations;
- veterans and disabled people of the Great Patriotic War, home front workers, disabled people, orphans under 18 years of age (on land plots with residential buildings, dachas, plots for garages);
- mothers with many children having the title “Mother Heroine”;
- pensioners (if only pensioners are registered at their residence address, without third parties).
Land plot - how to calculate tax in 2021
Land tax is a local tax and is calculated based on the tax rates set by the local municipality. To pay land tax, the following information is required:
- cadastral value of the land plot;
- land area;
- tax rate for a specific land plot adopted by the municipality in 2021;
- availability of benefits for the owner.
When we know all this data, then we can easily calculate the tax on your land plot:
For clarity, here is an example :
We calculate land tax | Definition, basis, magnitude |
Taxpayer | Individual – pensioner |
Land plot | 13 acres |
Cadastral value | 5 million rub. |
Tax rate | 0,3 % |
Federal benefit under Art. 391 item 5 | Reduction of the tax base by 600 sq.m. |
According to the example given in the table, the formula for calculating land tax based on cadastral value is as follows:
(5,000,000 – 2,307,692)*0.3% = 8,077 rub . – the amount to be paid in our case.
(Explanation: if the cadastral value for 13 acres of land = 5 million rubles, then the cadastral value of one hundred square meters = 384,615 rubles, the cadastral value of 6 acres = 2,307,692 rubles - this amount is not taxed; accordingly, only 7 acres are taxed land).
Each specific case will have its own calculation, taking into account the cadastral value, area, rate and benefits. You can read more about the features of calculating land tax here.
