A new "Tax Deduction" feature has been launched on the government services portal. It helps you apply for popular tax deductions without leaving the portal. The service guides you through the application process step by step and provides comprehensive information on the available tax deductions. This feature is part of the federal project "A State for the People," overseen by Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko.
A tax deduction allows you to reduce your taxable income and, as a result, lower your personal income tax bill. It can be used to reclaim a portion of already paid taxes, for example, on your salary, or to reduce the amount of tax payable to the budget for certain transactions, such as the sale of real estate.
"The new tax deduction service operates on a principle that applies to all life situations—it's a comprehensive solution for a person's needs: quickly, without visiting government agencies or collecting unnecessary documents. Personal data already in government systems is entered automatically. The "Tax Deduction" life situation was launched on the government services portal to help people complete all the necessary steps sequentially, following a clear algorithm, without switching from the portal to third-party resources," said Dmitry Grigorenko.
This new life situation allows you to simplify the tax deduction process and reduce the risk of sharing your information with untrustworthy organizations that may provide tax return filing services.
The service also helps citizens determine what type of tax deduction they are eligible for. For example, if they incurred expenses for medical treatment, education, or sports during the year, they can apply for a social tax deduction.
Citizens who sold or bought residential real estate apply for a property tax deduction.
People who contributed to a long-term savings program, a non-state pension plan, or opened an individual investment account can claim a deduction for long-term savings.
Taxpayers with children, as well as privileged categories of citizens, receive standard tax deductions.
The service is available in the life situation catalog on the main page of the government services portal. The catalog includes 38 federal life situations. Each of them combines an average of 17 government services related to a single topic: university admissions, large families, retirement, and many others. An additional 32 federal life situations are planned to be launched by the end of 2025.
