Pensioners and the elderly in Russia can be called one of the most vulnerable categories of the population. That is why, within the framework of social assistance and social support measures, pensioners are provided with benefits that are accepted not only at the federal, but also at the regional level.

In this article, we will consider the privileges and benefits that elderly residents and pensioners of Moscow and the Moscow Region will be able to use in 2017, and also touch on last changes in social sphere associated with a variety of social programs.

Benefits for pensioners provided at the federal level:

Federal social benefits pensioners are provided absolutely in all regions Russian Federation. These benefits fall into three important categories:

1. Benefits of paying property tax. This benefit implies the complete exemption of pensioners from tax deductions on the property you own. At the same time, it is important to know that benefits are provided only for one object belonging to a particular category. real estate. In other words, if a pensioner is the owner of an apartment, a private house, an outbuilding and a garage at the same time, he will be exempt from taxes in general. This is due to the fact that each of the objects listed by us belongs to different types of real estate.
2. Exemption from payment of income tax. In this case income tax not levied on any types of pension payments, as well as on financial assistance provided to a pensioner once a year, as well as from funds allocated for sanitary and spa treatment of a pensioner, the purchase of medicines (in the event that the money is provided by a former employer).

Benefits for pensioners when paying for housing and communal services in Moscow and the Moscow region:

Pensioners of Moscow and the Moscow region have a number of advantages and benefits when paying for housing and communal services. It should be noted that the disputes in this topic do not stop and the measures of social support for elderly citizens are constantly being adjusted. So, this year the Government and the Ministry of Housing Policy approved the following measures to support pensioners:

• monthly reimbursement of expenses for telephone connection within the city (the amount of preferences at the moment is 190 rubles);
• pensioners, residents of the capital of retirement age, are exempted from paying for the removal and disposal of garbage.

In addition, in Moscow and the Moscow region there are subsidies for those pensioners who pay more than 3-10% for utilities (exact interest rate determined depending on the income received) from the total income of the family. Compensation is paid after the execution of the relevant documents and a positive decision.

Benefits for pensioners for the purchase of medicines:

The purchase of medicines and spending on medicines is a hot topic for every elderly pensioner in our country. However, in order to provide social support, a system of benefits for the purchase of medicines has been developed. It is possible to take advantage of this measure of support for pensioners if:

• a citizen receives the minimum pension payments provided for in Moscow and the Moscow region;
• there is a prescription for the medicinal product issued by the attending physician;
• a pensioner purchases medicines for outpatient treatment.

The discount for the vast majority of drugs is 50%, but there are exceptions. For example, if medicines are needed to treat diabetes or cancer, they are provided free of charge.

Other privileges provided to pensioners of Moscow and the Moscow region:

Among other things, for the elderly citizens of Moscow and the Moscow region there are additional social benefits and measures of social support for the elderly:

• Relatives of a pensioner are provided with services for organizing funerals and burials of the elderly on preferential terms.

Benefits for pensioners with disabilities:

For pensioners who, for medical reasons and based on the results of a medical and social examination, were assigned one of the three disability groups, there is a whole program of social support and benefits:

Benefits provided to social card holders:

Relatively recently, in Moscow, a special social card began to operate for elderly pensioners, which entitles them to receive a number of additional benefits in social terms. Their list was established by the regional authorities, and in 2017 it looks like this:

• the opportunity for pensioners to use the services of public urban transport in Moscow (including the metro) free of charge, as well as to travel without making a payment on suburban electric trains. Today, there are persistent rumors that this preference has been replaced with a cash compensation for fares, amounting to 400 rubles a month;
• the ability to use the services of a polyclinic without presenting a personal medical insurance policy;
• providing discounts on a variety of goods purchased in those outlets, where you can use the Sberbank Maestro Social card for payment.

Such a pensioner's social card has another important and indisputable advantage - for the balance own funds it accrues an income of 3.5% per annum, thanks to which the payment instrument can be used as a savings book.

The recent abolition of the right to free travel has left many elderly residents of the capital concerned about whether and to what extent there will be benefits for pensioners in Moscow in 2018.

The answer to this question should calm the hearts of the older generation: all other benefits established by tax and pension legislation will be valid in 2018 as well.

Recall that tax and other concessions are provided both at the federal and regional levels. Consequently, in addition to nationwide benefits, Moscow pensioners can also count on social support measures established by the city authorities.

It is important: early retirement does not affect the composition and amount of preferential pension provision.

federal benefits

Property tax

According to Art. 407 tax code Russia, all pensioners are exempt from real estate tax. Only one object for each type of real estate is subject to exemption from payment. This means that by owning different types property (an apartment, a residential building, an outbuilding, a garage), you will not have to pay property tax at all. However, if there are, for example, two residential buildings, the benefit is provided only for one house.

An application for a benefit and a document confirming the applicant's respective right (pension certificate) must be submitted in person to tax authority by the location of the property.

Note! An application for the selection of a specific object subject to tax exemption must be submitted before the end of the third quarter. After this period, in the absence of an application preferential deduction will be provided to the object with the largest amount calculated tax.

Local preferences for Muscovites

Payment of utilities

The Moscow legislation provides the following benefits to single pensioners in Moscow in terms of paying for housing (clause 7, article 8 of the Law of the City of Moscow No. 70 of November 03, 2004):

• exemption from paying fees for garbage collection;
• monthly compensation for part of the payment for intracity telephone services (in the amount of 190 rubles - see Decree of the Government of Moscow No. 42-PP dated January 30, 2007).

Unfortunately, other benefits for housing and communal services pensioners in Moscow are not provided. However, if the amount of payment for housing and communal services exceeds the percentage of the total family income(in the capital it varies from 3 to 10% depending on the amount of income), payers are given the right to apply for a subsidy. On this issue, please contact the territorial department of the Center housing subsidies Moscow. In addition, it is possible to order the service through the Internet portal of city services pgu.mos.ru.

Social supplement for pension

Citizens whose pension amount does not reach the subsistence minimum have a legal right to receive an additional payment. For registration, you should contact the department of social protection at the address of your residence. The procedure for assigning an additional payment is regulated by Decree of the Government of Moscow No. 1268-PP dated November 17, 2009.

This is important: working pensioners, regardless of the size of the pension, are not entitled to the specified additional payment.

Free and subsidized medicines

Persons receiving a minimum pension and undergoing outpatient treatment are provided with a 50% discount when buying medicines by prescription, and for certain types of diseases (for example, diabetes or oncology), medicines must be dispensed free of charge (see Annexes Nos. 1, 2 to the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 890 of July 30, 1994).

It should be remembered: the procedure for providing pensioners with all the above benefits is declarative in nature. This means that in order to implement legal rights it is necessary to independently apply to the relevant authorities and submit the documents required for their execution.

Cancellation of transport privileges

On August 1, 2015, amendments to the Law of the Moscow Region No. 36/2006-OZ dated March 23, 2006, concerning the abolition of travel benefits for pensioners in Moscow, entered into force. According to the innovations, elderly residents of the Moscow region (including those with the status of veterans of labor, as well as military service) have lost the right to free travel by citywide metropolitan transport.

In fairness, it should be noted that low-income residents of the Moscow Region were given the right to receive compensation for the travel of Moscow public transport for the purpose of visiting medical institutions in the direction of a doctor. However, the size compensation payment cannot exceed four hundred rubles annually.

Unfortunately, often about the appearance of benefits, as well as about their cancellation, pensioners become aware only from word of mouth. However, the conversations at the entrance do not always correspond to reality. If you heard new information about what benefits pensioners have in Moscow, it is still advisable to clarify it with the competent authorities (Pension Fund, Federal tax service etc.), which will be able to provide complete and reliable information on your question.

Today we have to find out what benefits pensioners in Moscow are entitled to in Russia in 2017. This question worries all future and current elderly people. All state support can be divided into 2 categories - regional and federal. Most benefits do not require registration. But some rights will still have to be claimed in in due course. So what can Moscow retirees expect?

Types of assistance to the population

The first step is to understand in which areas older citizens are being assisted. It's no secret that pensioners are the eternal beneficiaries of the Russian Federation. They are provided with assistance in different areas of human life in different regions.

Citizens can count on the following state support:

• financial;
• tax;
• housing;
• material;
• transport;
• medical;
• social;
• working.

Based on the foregoing, we can conclude that almost all spheres of life of a modern person provide assistance to pensioners. Next, we will talk about what older people can expect in the capital of the Russian Federation.

taxes

Let's start with the most important topic - tax support for the population. What benefits are provided to pensioners in Moscow in one case or another?

In 2017, the elderly can apply for:

• complete freedom from property taxes(one type of objects of taxation in each category);
• no transport tax for one car;
• exemption from land taxes.

All these benefits are provided upon a personal application of a pensioner in the district tax services.

personal income tax

Special attention is paid to personal income tax. Working seniors are not exempt from paying this tax. But benefits for pensioners in Moscow regarding this fee are still provided.

Thus, the following cash flows are exempt from personal income tax:

• pension (any);
• health resort treatment services;
• financial assistance from the employer (no more than 4,000 per year);
• government subsidies and payments;
• from the state for low-income pensioners.

The rest of the citizen's income should be subject to personal income tax. Accordingly, retired entrepreneurs cannot fully exempt their business from taxes.

Housing and communal services

But that's not all. Benefits for housing and communal services for pensioners in the capital and other cities are also provided. It is enough to apply with a corresponding request to the management company. Then the citizen will be provided with this or that support.

What benefits are provided to pensioners in Moscow in the housing and communal services sector? Among them are:

• compensation for using a home telephone (190 rubles);
• exemption from fees for garbage collection;
• discount on housing and communal services (50% of the amount - for veterans);
• assistance with gasification of the house;
• television compensation (50%);
• installation of a telephone (home) out of turn.

What are the subsidies for pensioners? You can apply for housing assistance if the amount of housing and communal services is from 3 to 10% (in some cases - 20%) of the total monthly income of the family. To do this, you need to contact the center of the capital. Benefits for housing and communal services are offered to pensioners in all regions of the Russian Federation. This is normal.

Living wage

A non-working pensioner in Moscow has the right to receive additional social payments. This is possible only if the citizen is recognized as needy.

The state will appoint an additional payment to the pension, providing living wage in the region. But no more. Therefore, not all pensioners manage to take advantage of this benefit.

The medicine

For older people, medicine is becoming quite an important area of ​​​​life. Benefits for pensioners in Moscow are also provided in this area. As a rule, they are no different from Federal benefits for the elderly.

Old people in the capital can claim:

• free prescription drugs;
• treatment in sanatoriums and resorts according to directions (free of charge);
• out-of-order medical care.

People are also offered free prosthetics. For pensioners in Moscow this benefit occurs. Seniors can get free dentures. And the disabled are helped in purchasing means of transportation.

Can seniors use the pool? For pensioners, such a benefit was invented free of charge in Moscow. That is, the elderly, for medical reasons, have the right to visit public pools on preferential terms. There is no need to pay for these services.

Working pensioners

The retirement age of the Russian Federation among women comes at 55 years, and among men at 60. At this time, many citizens are still in working condition. Therefore, they continue to work. This fact takes away the possibility of obtaining some benefits (related to the criterion of need), but offers a lot of other benefits. state support.

Working pensioners in Moscow and other regions are entitled to:

• registration of deductions for personal income tax;
• vacation at a convenient time (for ordinary pensioners for a maximum of 2 weeks) at their own expense;
• free training / advanced training at the expense of the employer;
• recalculation of pension (annually);
• accrual of pension points (if a citizen refused to retire due to age);
• registration of leave to care for a child (grandchild).

Also, courses for pensioners are sometimes held in the capital. In Moscow, everyone can pass them for free. But such state support is not in great demand. Instead, employers send their retired subordinates to specialized training free of charge. It is illegal to demand money from an elderly person for such a step. Accordingly, pensioners are obliged to train at work free of charge under any circumstances.

housing problems

What are the subsidies for pensioners? What about benefits? Among not the most common, but quite useful bonuses, the provision of housing for pensioners is often singled out. This measure applies only to some older people. It takes place not only in Moscow, but also in other regions of the Russian Federation.

In order to receive housing, you must be recognized as needy. Otherwise, you won't get in line. After being recognized as needy, a pensioner must apply to the city administration with a corresponding request and wait for approval. After some time, an elderly person will pick up free housing.

As you might guess, not every pensioner will be able to take advantage of this bonus. It is usually available to non-working seniors without any property.

Other benefits

In Moscow, a swimming pool for pensioners is provided free of charge under certain circumstances. Usually this bonus can be used for health reasons. But the possibilities of the capital of the Russian Federation do not end there.

The thing is that in addition to the benefits listed above, there are others. They rely on pensioners with special statuses. These include:

• military;
• disabled people;
• veterans;
• heroes;
• widows of veterans and heroes.

For example, the military and the disabled, like all the categories of citizens listed earlier, receive higher pensions. They are entitled to a surcharge, the amount of which is constantly changing. You can also qualify for free travel on public suburban transport and the purchase of tickets out of turn. It is precisely such benefits for pensioners in Moscow that are laid down today.

Travel by transport

Special attention today throughout Russia is paid to travel by public transport. What can be said about this?

Abolished in Moscow. Today, older people have to pay for the use of city buses and trolleybuses. Similar rules apply throughout the country. Only in some regions can old people ride public transport for free.

However, pensioners in need are entitled to compensation for travel up to medical institutions. Its maximum amount is 400 rubles. Not too much, but it's better than nothing at all.

Registration procedure

How can I get all the listed privileges? Procedures will vary from case to case. The thing is that social benefits are usually issued in the municipality or social services, utility - in management company, housing - in the city administration, and tax - in the Federal Tax Service at the place of registration of a citizen. All benefits due to working pensioners must be demanded from the employer.

The rest of the procedure comes down to collecting documents and submitting an appropriate application with a request for a particular bonus. Citizens will need to bring with them:

• identification;
• certificates indicating registration;
• pensioner's ID;
• SNILS;
• income statements;
• supporting documents for obtaining certain benefits;
• certificates of ownership (most often in relation to tax benefits);
• bank account details;
• checks and receipts for payment of certain services (for deductions).

Also, a pensioner may be required to provide a certificate of family composition, disability documents or certificates indicating need. There is usually nothing difficult or special with the collection of the necessary papers. Therefore, it will not be difficult to arrange benefits for pensioners in Moscow and other regions.

Results and conclusions

In Russia, there is a very flexible system of state support for the elderly. Free legal advice for pensioners in Moscow, as in other regions of the Russian Federation, is not provided to everyone. But that doesn't mean it can't be used.

In the capital of Russia, the elderly can take advantage of a variety of opportunities. Among them, it is customary to highlight:

• tax incentives;
• housing and communal benefits;
• pension payments.

In fact, bonuses for pensioners in the country change from year to year. This information must be carefully monitored. Otherwise, you can count on more than it should be in reality. For example, some people still believe that pensioners in Moscow can use public transport for free, but this is not the case. Free legal advice for pensioners in Moscow is a reality. But you have to pay for using public transport.

It is recommended to check with the regional administration for a more accurate list of benefits for the Moscow Region. They will help not only to understand what a pensioner can count on, but also tell about the procedure for obtaining appropriate benefits.

In Russia, all pensioners over 80 can hope to take care of themselves. Any person can take care of a citizen - a relative or not. In this case, the caregiver cannot officially work. But he is entitled to monthly payments of 1,200 rubles, and the pension experience is also accrued. This right is exercised in the FIU. It is used most often in practice. Would you like to attend courses for pensioners in Moscow for free? Then it is recommended to clarify with the city administration which classes are offered on preferential terms.

From 2019, there will be an increase in the retirement age - for men up to 65 years old, and for women up to 60 years old

Many pensioners in our country are not well aware of what state-guaranteed benefits and benefits are due to them in 2018. They are regulated by the laws of the Russian Federation, decrees and the tax code.
