What to do in case of delay
We have already found out how long it takes for the deduction to arrive - the desk audit alone can last 3 months. And if any deficiencies are found - another 30 additional days. In a situation where the Federal Tax Service misses all the permissible deadlines and does not send you any notifications, it is worth taking the initiative.
The first step is to check the details and status of the bank account to which the tax office should transfer the money. Make sure that you have entered the details correctly. And also that the bank has not blocked or frozen your account.
If everything is in order, contact the Federal Tax Service. Usually, a call to the hotline is not enough and personal visits are more effective. You can get an appointment without an appointment, but it is better to get one so as not to waste time waiting. Keep in mind that you need to contact the debt collection department. If this does not help, contact the find your mobile number database head of the territorial office of the Federal Tax Service. Do not forget to take your passport with you. It is also advisable to take copies of previously submitted documents.
An alternative option is to submit an appeal on the FTS website. However, they can be considered for up to 30 days, so the decision is inappropriate in a situation where you need a quick response. For those who are in no hurry at all, there is an option to submit a second appeal: it can be sent after the response deadline has expired, indicating the details of the previous complaint. And this message will be sent to the regional tax service office, and not to the district one, like the first one.
According to Part 10 of Article 78 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, the taxpayer has the right to demand compensation from the Federal Tax Service for late payment of the deduction. If the demand is satisfied, you will have to pay a penalty. They are calculated at the refinancing rate of the Bank of Russia and directly depend on the amount of the issued deduction.
