Where to pay the state fee: types of state fees and methods of payment

All Russian citizens face state duties in one way or another. Payment of this fee accompanies the daily life of Russian residents. State fees are charged for obtaining passports and driver's licenses, for entering into and dissolving marriages. They apply to both individuals and entire organizations, and for the latter the amount of duties increases. Starting from 200-300 rubles, state fees can reach several tens or even hundreds of thousands of rubles - depending on the procedure they accompany. Today we will talk about what methods the state provides for paying such monetary fees and where it is most convenient to pay the state duty.

Where to pay the state fee

What is state duty

State duty is a certain amount of money that a citizen must pay when applying to government agencies, be it local government or a certain official. There are a variety of state fees - for replacing a passport, for obtaining a driver's license, for registering a lease agreement, for applying to the registry office, and so on. As a rule, the amount of this fee is not large, but its payment is a prerequisite for receiving a particular service.

Payment of state duty can be made by the following categories of citizens:

• natural person;
• legal entity;
• individual entrepreneurs.

State duty is paid by both individuals and legal entities

Depending on their focus, state duties can be one of two types:

• sums of money used to pay for various operations at the administrative level. Such actions have direct legal significance and include events such as registration of individual entrepreneurs, provision of duplicate documentation, and so on;
• sums of money allocated to compensate for legal costs. A state fee is collected from a citizen if, as a result of a court hearing, a decision was made that is at odds with his interests. The citizen also pays the costs if he wishes to appeal the results of the meeting to higher authorities.

Payment via MFC

If we consider where you can pay the state fee for a passport, then the easiest option would be the MFC branch. That is, you can collect the necessary package of documents to obtain a passport at the age of 14, come to the citizen service point and make the payment on the spot.

That is, it is not even necessary to use banking services now. All branches of the MFC have terminals through which you can pay fees for any government service.

The terminals work very clearly, but if you have any questions about payment, there is always a consultant in the MFC hall who will help you pay the fee for the service you need for obtaining or replacing a passport. But keep in mind that the terminals are serviced by a third party, so the system will charge a commission for making the payment.

The state duty for a passport at 14 years old, for its loss or replacement at 20 and 45 years old is paid through terminals in cash, from a bank card or by touching a smartphone. In addition, many branches of the MFC also have Sberbank terminals installed, but there payments are made only from Sberbank cards.

So, now paying the state fee for a passport has become even easier. You don’t even have to print receipts or run to banks and ATMs. You can go to the MFC and make a payment. The device will issue a receipt, which you attach to the package of documents.

Amount of state duty

As you might guess, the amount of duty paid by a citizen directly depends on its type. Moreover, in some cases the duty is fixed. For example, when replacing a driver’s license, a motorist pays two thousand rubles. If we are talking about some more specific issues that involve litigation, then the fee is set on an individual basis.

The size of the state duty can vary from several hundred rubles to several thousand

Reference. The website gosuslugi.ru provides a special system of discounts when paying state fees online. Thus, for most such operations a discount of thirty percent of the original cost of the duty is provided.

It should be noted that legal entities, as a rule, pay state duty in a much larger amount than individuals. In some cases, the cost of the duty can increase up to ten or even twenty times. For example, if a citizen applies to the court on a non-property issue, he pays a state fee of one hundred rubles. If a similar question arises from a legal entity, then it pays a fee of two thousand rubles.

A certain percentage of the cost of the service is charged when considering:

• divorce petitions;
• challenging decisions made by government bodies;
• cases requiring individual consideration.

The state fee may be a certain percentage of the cost of the statement of claim itself.

For example, if the cost of the claim was ten thousand rubles, and the state duty is four percent, then the citizen will have to pay an additional two hundred rubles.

Sometimes, to calculate the state duty, it is most convenient to use special calculators, which require indicating the size and type of legal claims, as well as the specifics of the authority to which the application is being submitted. The calculator calculates the final cost of the duty taking into account the Tax Code.

Who pays the state fee

At first glance, the answer to the question of who will bear the costs of applying to government agencies is very simple - the state fee is paid by the applicant. However, this procedure has its exceptions. If the court receives an application from an individual entitled to certain benefits, and this citizen subsequently wins the case, then all costs are borne by the defendant who was defeated.

The state fee is paid either by the applicant or the losing defendant.

Benefits for paying state fees

Some citizens of the Russian Federation are exempt from paying state fees when applying on absolutely any issue. Moreover, this benefit may apply not only to individuals, but also to government bodies. The list of beneficiaries is shown in the image below.

Categories of citizens exempt from paying state duty

What government fees can be paid through Sberbank Online

Owners of bank cards - debit and credit, in addition to performing standard transactions, can pay fees for a number of government services.

• visit the website of the government agency, in one of the sections of which the information necessary for the applicant is usually posted (however, not all regional bodies have websites).

Obtaining details through the Ministry of Internal Affairs website

It is convenient to obtain details of the state duty for a passport at the age of 14 and for other reasons online, using the service on the website of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. First, the client selects a region, then the system opens a form where you need to enter basic data:

Payment through other banks

You can pay the state duty for a passport not only through Sberbank; all banking organizations make this type of payment. The only point is that you can pay in cash through another bank only through its cash desk. So far, payment terminals available to everyone are only available in Sberbank.

In what cases is a refund possible?

Sometimes it happens that due to circumstances, an individual or legal entity may be returned the money that was spent on paying the state duty. Valid reasons on which a refund may be made include the following:

• a partial refund is due if, due to an error, an individual or legal entity deposited a larger amount compared to its standard amount;
• a full refund occurs in circumstances where a government agency, for certain reasons, refuses to consider the case. However, if desired, the applicant can leave a receipt for the paid state duty and not pay it again when applying again. The applicant can take advantage of this feature within three years from the date of payment;
• a full refund also implies those situations in which an individual or legal entity, of their own free will, refuses to contact a certain government agency. However, in order to obtain the right to a refund, the applicant must pay the state fee even before the application itself, otherwise the service will be considered provided.

A refund for the state fee is possible if you refuse to use the paid service.

In order to receive funds spent on state duty, you must write a special application addressed to the Federal Treasury. The applicant can return his money over the next three years.

State duty for a Russian passport

The amount of the state fee for a passport depends on the reasons why the identity card is changed. If the change of passport is associated with the onset of a certain age, then the fee is 300 rubles. If the document has to be changed due to the fault of its owner (as a result of loss or damage), then this procedure will cost five times more - 1,500 rubles.

So, there are several places where you can pay the fee for a new passport:

• bank. Despite the fact that most information certificates list Sberbank as a bank, in addition to it you can resort to the services of any other credit enterprises that accept payments in favor of the state. As a rule, payment can be accepted both in cash and in non-cash form. It should be borne in mind that in some cases banks can only accept cards that were issued by them;

  You can pay the state fee either through an ATM or through a bank cash desk.

• terminal. Most banks have terminals, the menu of which includes a section that allows you to pay state fees using the number indicated on the receipt. In all banks, the procedure for making payments is slightly different, so if difficulties arise, it is recommended to contact a consultant;
• online banking. You can use online banking if a citizen is registered on the website of a certain bank and has his own personal account linked to the card. Then he will not need to visit the bank office to go to the cash desk or terminal. All you have to do is open the app and transfer money to the appropriate recipient. Most large banks offer online banking, so this service is widely available.

Let's take a closer look at using a terminal or ATM when paying state fees. Since the partition systems of most bank terminals are similar, we will consider only one option for paying fees using a Sberbank ATM. So, to transfer money to the state account you will need to perform several actions:

• card insertion;
• entering a PIN code;
• go to the “Payment in our region” section;
• search for the “Taxes, fines, state duties” section, and then select the “State duties and fees” option;
• entering the recipient's TIN;
• entering the data specified in the payer’s passport;
• choice of duty type;
• depositing the required amount;
• receiving checks (the ATM issues two at once - both of them will need to be kept until the payment is confirmed by government officials).

Payment of state fees via ATM

Reference. Some ATMs impose a commission for those customers who use cards from other banks. As a result, the amount charged may increase by several percent.

The amount of state duty for payment of a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation

The amount of payment for a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation is determined by the reason for its issuance. Article 333.33 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation specifies a fixed amount of 300 rubles for persons:

• those receiving a passport for the first time at the age of 14;
• who have become citizens of the Russian Federation and are issuing an identification document in connection with this;
• making a repeated payment for a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation at 20 and 45 years of age.

as well as for persons who have replaced:

• Name;
• last name;
• floor;
• appearance (if it is necessary to replace the photograph).

A state duty of 1,500 rubles is charged if:

1. The citizen has lost his passport.
2. The passport has become unusable (Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation dated July 8, 1997 N 828 states that a citizen must treat his identity document with care).

If you do not order a new passport within 30 days, you will have to pay an additional fine of 100 to 300 rubles. Citizens who deliberately damaged an identity document or stored it improperly are also fined.

Please note : if at the age of 20 a citizen of the Russian Federation underwent compulsory military service, after its completion he can pay a standard duty of 300 rubles.

Article 333.35 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation states that state duty is not charged on:

• orphans - in this case, payment for a Russian passport occurs at the expense of the state;
• minors left without parental care;
• citizens who have lost their passport due to an emergency situation.

When receiving your passport, check your details carefully. If damage is discovered after signing, you will have to pay a fee again.

State fee for a driver's license

The state fee for replacing a driver’s license is 2,000 rubles. The payment methods for this procedure have many similarities with the previous ones, but they also offer new options. So, to pay the state fee for your license, you can use the following services:

• bank (both cash desks and terminals);
• online banking;
• State Services portal;
• by Russian Post (to do this, you will need to request the appropriate receipt from postal employees and fill it out);
• traffic police departments.

Receipt for payment of state duty for a driver's license

It should be noted that payment of state duties and car fines using Russian Post has existed for quite a long time, but in recent years it has faded into the background. Long queues and the need to manually fill out paperwork make this option not very convenient, which does not allow it to compete with Internet portals or ordinary bank branches.

Reference. In order to fill out a receipt at the Russian Post Office, you will need to find in advance the traffic police details that will be required for the form. All this data is on the official website of the traffic police, so for convenience you can print it out in advance. Moreover, you can download the form itself from the traffic police website and fill it out at home, then take it to the post office.

Budget classification code for payment of state duty for replacement of rights

If we talk about traffic police departments, most of them are equipped with special terminals, which in their way of operation are in many ways reminiscent of bank ATMs, but their functions are more specialized. Thanks to these terminals, payment of the fee can be carried out at the traffic police department itself - this is done for the convenience of the driver, who will not need to leave the department to transfer the required amount.
