• for payment of transport tax;

• for payment of property tax for individuals;
• transfer of the balance of the tax deduction to previous years.

In addition to the above, we can only add that all payments to a pensioner (the pension itself, compensation, subsidies, other social and material payments) are not subject to personal income tax.

Additional payments to pension

Pensioners living in Moscow at their place of residence or place of stay may qualify for one of two main pension supplements:

• non-working pensioners can apply for a regional social supplement to their pension ;
• working pensioners who have lived in Moscow at their place of residence for 10 years or more receive a monthly compensation payment towards their pension .

Amount of additional payments to pension

For non-working pensioners:

The regional social supplement to the pension is set to the city social standard (in 2020 it is 17,500 rubles per month) if the non-working pensioner has been registered at his place of residence in Moscow for a total of at least 10 years.

If a non-working pensioner has been registered at his place of residence in the capital for less than 10 years or is registered at his place of stay, then the regional social supplement to the pension is set to the pensioner’s subsistence level in Moscow (in 2018 it is 11,816 rubles per month).

Any Moscow non-working pensioner can receive a regional social supplement to their pension.

For working pensioners:

The monthly compensation payment is set to the city social standard (in 2020 - 17,500 rubles per month). The payment can be established only for pensioners registered in Moscow at their place of residence for at least 10 years.

• other categories of pensioners.

Payment for housing and communal services

1. Subsidy for housing and communal services

If more than 10% of your family's income is spent on utility bills, you may qualify for a subsidy - the state will compensate for part of the costs of housing and utility services.

Citizens of Russia, Belarus or Kyrgyzstan who are permanently registered in Moscow, have no debts for utility bills and are:

• owners of housing (apartment, residential building or part thereof);
• members of a housing or housing construction cooperative;
• users of residential premises in state or municipal housing stock;
• tenants of housing under a rental agreement in a private housing stock.

Calculate your family's average total income. To do this, add up all sources of income (before taxes) for the last six calendar months and divide the resulting amount by six. The income of all family members living with you, their and your spouses, parents or adoptive parents of minor children, minor children, including adopted children, even if they live separately, is taken into account.

Compare the result to the maximum pre-tax income for your household to qualify for the subsidy. Maximum income for your family:

Tax benefits for major repairs

You can use benefits in the form of social services, that is, travel for free on city and (or) suburban transport and (or) receive medications, or choose monetary compensation instead of the right to free travel and receive free medications.

Persons entitled to discounted travel use the Muscovite social card for benefit recipients, students and pupils.

From August 1, 2020, social card holders entitled to free travel on public transport can travel for free on commuter trains (including fast commuter electric trains and commuter express trains).

Important(!) : despite the fact that travel is free, a ticket is also issued for it. To get a free train ticket for the first time, go to the ticket office of a suburban train station and present your social card - information about the free ride will be recorded on it. After this, free tickets can be issued both at the box office and at vending machines. For each trip, you need to issue one-time tickets in one or both directions (on the day of travel or earlier, but no more than 10 days before the train departure date), even if you are entitled to free travel.

Pensioners and other beneficiaries can travel for free to the final stops of routes that start from Moscow stations and pass through the capital, the Moscow region and some other regions. Now this list includes six regions adjacent to Moscow: Tver, Kaluga, Ryazan, Vladimir, Smolensk and Tula. Thus, for travel on the routes Moscow - Tver, Moscow - Ryazan, Moscow - Vladimir, Moscow - Gagarin (Smolensk region) and Moscow - Tula, beneficiaries can issue a free ticket. Free travel is provided to preferential categories of citizens when traveling between any stations within these routes.

Financial compensation

Free medicines for pensioners in Moscow

The list of persons who can receive free medicines is the same as for persons who have the right to free travel on public transport.

The Russian government annually approves a list of preferential medications. It is called the list of drugs for medical use. For 2020, it was approved by Decree of the Government of Russia No. 2323-r dated October 23, 2020 (Appendix No. 2).

Pensioners receiving an old-age, disability or survivors pension in the minimum amount can receive all medications from the list with a 50% discount. In this case, you must be permanently or temporarily registered in Moscow.

You can get medicine for free or at a discount only with a doctor's prescription. The doctor will write a prescription if necessary for medical reasons.

You need to contact those medical organizations (city hospitals, clinics, dispensaries) where doctors have the right to write preferential prescriptions. You can clarify the list of such organizations by calling the hotline of the Moscow State Budgetary Institution of Healthcare “Center for Drug Supply of the Moscow City Health Department.”

Typically, a prescription is valid for 30 days from the date it was issued. If it was prescribed to a pensioner, a disabled person of the first group, a disabled child or someone suffering from a chronic disease that requires a long course of treatment - 90 days.

Will the pension reform affect people retiring early?

As legislators assure, the possibility of early retirement for the population and workers from the Far North and equivalent regions, as well as teachers, doctors and other “beneficiaries” will remain. But the retirement age for these categories of citizens will also increase due to its general growth.

Thus, employees from the regions of the extreme northern part of our country and similar territories can expect an increase in the age of access to state support by 5 and 8 years: the bill proposes a 60-year-old threshold for men and 58-year-old for women (the current standards are 55 and 50 years, respectively ). And in the same way, a gradual increase in standard years for applying for a pension will be applied to achieve new age limits.

The state believes that for residents of northern areas, the reduction in the retirement age was at one time due to extremely difficult living conditions in the 50s of the last century. But the measures taken to improve the demographic situation significantly influenced the life expectancy of northerners.

Medical workers, citizens of creative professions and teachers will also face an increase in retirement age standards. But the period of retirement will be calculated based on the period of completion of special service. According to the legislative norms in force in 2020, doctors and teachers receive the opportunity to retire prematurely if they have 25-30 years of experience. People in creative professions must have specialized experience from 15 to 30 years, depending on the category.

The change in the early retirement algorithm is presented in the table:

We looked at who will be affected by the pension reform, but some categories of citizens will not feel it. Who exactly - read on.
