In Moscow and the Moscow Region, pensioners and owners of low-power cars with less than 100 horsepower can benefit from certain transportation tax benefits. Let's look at exactly what benefits are provided by these regions.

Benefits in Moscow

The following policy regarding transport benefits applies in the Russian capital:

They are completely exempt from paying transport tax:

- Heroes of the Soviet Union, heroes of the Russian Federation, full cavaliers of the Order of Glory.
Veterans of the Great Patriotic War, veterans of military operations, invalids of groups I and II, invalids of childhood.
- One of the parents (adoptive parents) of a large family with three or more children.
- Owners of domestic passenger cars with an engine capacity of up to 70 hp.

Partial benefits for pensioners:

Pensioners in Moscow do not have a full exemption from the transport tax. They are required to pay the tax in full, regardless of the capacity of the car.

Benefits in the Moscow region

The Moscow region offers a wider range of benefits compared to Moscow:

They are completely exempt from paying transport tax:

- Participants and invalids of the Great Patriotic War, participants and invalids of military operations.
- Citizens who were exposed to radiation as a result of the Chernobyl disaster and the accident at the Mayak production association.
- Parents who have raised five or more children.
- Heroes of Socialist Labor, Heroes of Labor of the Russian Federation, full holders of the Order of Labor Glory.

Beneficiaries with a 50% discount on the transport tax:

- Pensioners who have reached retirement age (women over 55, men over 60).
- Single mothers raising minor children.
- Families raising a disabled child.

Additional benefits for owners of low-power cars:

Owners of passenger cars with a capacity of up to 100 hp will receive a 50% discount. Thus, the tax will be half of the usual rate.

These measures make it possible to reduce the financial burden on socially vulnerable residents of Moscow and the Moscow region, ensuring justice and support for those in need.
