On April 15, at a briefing at Tatarstan Government House, Head of Tatarstan Department of Federal Tax Service Marat Safiullin reported that Tatarstan citizens have filed 47,000 tax returns since beginning of the declaration campaign in 2014. This makes 55 per cent of the total number of citizens who have to report about their income for 2013 (about 83,000 citizens).

In particular, Marat Safiullin noted that the tax-payment culture has improved in Tatarstan. About 100,000 Tatarstan residents file a tax return every year. Following the results of the last year’s declaration campaign, 99 per cent of citizens liable to file tax returns submitted their income tax forms.

Marat Safiullin reminded that citizens, having gains on the sale of property they possessed for at least three years, stock or shares in charter capital must file their tax returns. Rental income from apartments, rooms and other property to rent, income gained under civil contracts (tutoring, provision of paid services, etc.), income in the form of winnings from lotteries, and other personal income that was not taxed should be declared as well. Entrepreneurs, notary and lawyer’s office founders should also file tax returns.

To the point, tax returns should be submitted before April 30.
