The latest news regarding benefits for non-working retirees in 2022 has raised many questions. The main ones relate to the calculation of pensions for villagers who have worked for 30 years in agriculture. To understand what a pensioner can qualify for, you need to familiarize yourself with all the innovations.

Pension indexation

First of all, non-working pensioners will be indexed in 2022. In the latest news, the exact rate was not named, but experts suggest that its size will be 5, 9%.

Not the entire pension is increased, only its fixed part. For 2021, its size is 6044, 48 rubles. In the coming period, according to analysts' expectations, the fixed share of the pension will be increased to 6401.1 rubles.

The exact information on the amount of inflation will appear closer to December 2021, therefore, the indexation will be made from January 1, 2022.

Tax incentives

This type of benefits applies to several taxes at once, each of which has a number of features. For this reason, you must carefully read the legislation before using the benefit.

Income tax

In Russia, pensioners are exempted from paying personal income tax on pensions and other additional payments. You do not need to fill out and submit an application for benefits. This happens automatically, the state simply does not levy a tax on the pension at the time of its accrual.

Transport tax

This is a regional fee, therefore, it is necessary to clarify the availability of benefits for pensioners in the administration of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation. Conditions may vary by region:

• full tax exemption for only one vehicle;
• a discount of 20-50% of the amount calculated to be paid;
• the ability not to pay tax on a car or other type of vehicle if its engine power is no more than 100 hp.

Regional authorities independently establish preferential conditions for pensioners. Also, relief can be provided on separate conditions for pensioners who have merits to the Fatherland.

Land tax

To receive a tax deduction, you will need to send documents to the land and confirmation of the status of a pensioner to the Federal Tax Service. Compensation is charged only for the size of a plot with an area of up to 6 acres. If the plot is small, the pensioner is exempt from paying tax. In other cases, it will be necessary to pay a tax to the state budget, which will be levied on the difference between the area established by law and the real area.

Example! The pensioner owns a plot of 8 hectares. Calculation of the taxable area: 8 - 6 = 2 ha. The remaining area of the site (6 hectares) is passed according to the law without charging any obligations on it.

Property tax

Pensioners do not need to pay for the ownership of an apartment, summer cottage, garage and other buildings. This category of Russian citizens is exempt from paying property tax. However, the law stipulates a condition according to which one object of each category is exempted from encumbrances.

If a pensioner owns 2 apartments, he has the right not to pay tax on any of them. The choice remains with the person, but it is necessary to inform the Federal Tax Service before December 31 of this year. It is better to choose the smaller of the two properties so that the tax amount is low.

Until 2028, it will be possible to take advantage of benefits for those future pensioners who should have become them before the retirement age was raised.

Transport benefits

Retirees can get regional public transport benefits. Their presence should be clarified on the website of the administration of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation. Pensioners may not pay for travel at all, use public transport at a discount, or enjoy other benefits.

Retired people can also look forward to discounted air travel. Registration procedure:

• a pensioner purchases air tickets from the carrier, providing a certificate confirming his status;
• the air carrier makes a discount;
• the state returns the amount of the discount to the seller.

Flight benefits are not valid for all destinations. You can take advantage of the relief on the following conditions:

• flights only within Russia;
• the destination is a remote region;
• Economy class tickets are purchased.

To fly to another country or increase the level of comfort, you will have to purchase a ticket without a discount.

Not all retirees can apply for benefits for buying train tickets. Only those who have merits before the state can take advantage of the relief. The rest of the retired people do not have free train travel.

Free vaccination

This is a regional benefit, but it can now be used nationwide. A pensioner can get vaccinated for free in his clinic by providing a policy and declaring his personal desire. There are 2 vaccines available without payment: tick-borne encephalitis and influenza. It is not worth counting on other indulgences in 2022.

A number of changes taking effect in 2022

On January 1, 2022, a law comes into force that introduces changes and new benefits, including for non-working pensioners. The submission of documents for receiving a pension can be made through the portal of the State Service. After checking the application, payments will be assigned automatically.

You will not need to submit documents to the FIU when filling out an application for a pension online. The state body has the opportunity to check the accuracy of information without paper certificates, certificates, etc.

Pensioners living in rural areas and receiving the allowance will have the opportunity to move to the city while maintaining the same level of pension. To receive the premium, two conditions must be met:

• work experience in agriculture must be at least 30 years;
• at the time of the appointment of the allowance, the person must live in a rural area.

Do not be afraid that after moving to the city, the pensioner will lose the allowance. The law states that the change of place of residence of a citizen of the Russian Federation of retirement age is not a reason for the state to refuse to pay him an additional amount of money.

Pensioners who lost the allowance in previous years will receive it again from 2022. It is necessary to wait for the entry into force of the law.

Outcomes

The latest news is actively discussing information about benefits for non-working pensioners, which they will be entitled to in 2022. There will be no major changes to the existing legislation. Indexation of pensions remains the main benefit. The annual increase in the fixed part is due only to non-working pensioners.

This category of citizens can apply for all the benefits due to pensioners. These include exemptions in full or in part from taxes, transport benefits, innovations that will come into force on January 1, 2022.
