Is it possible to register a car for a child so as not to pay taxes and fines

I heard from acquaintances that if you buy a property - an apartment, plot, car, cottage - and register it for your child, then the child may not pay taxes, since he does not and cannot have any income. Taxes will accumulate and burn away after the statute of limitations expires, and in fact, when the child turns 18, only the last three years remain to be paid.

Is this true? What are the nuances? Can't believe this is possible.

I also know that if the owner of the property is a child, then all subsequent purchase and sale transactions until he is 18 years old must go through the social security and guardianship authorities. And what about the car registered for a child?

And the third part of the question: they say that fines from the cameras do not and cannot come to such a car, since according to the law this process cannot be initiated against a minor. And again I can't believe it: is it so? What are the pitfalls and who and what can accumulated fines of this kind face?

Sincerely,
Ivan

You can register a car for a minor child. But for the purpose of tax evasion, it is completely pointless to do this.

Dmitry Sergeev

security specialist

Author profile

Indeed, it is impossible to attract a minor for non-payment of taxes, fees and administrative fines. But taxes and penalties can be collected from parents or guardians.

Parent will still have to pay taxes

A child can be the owner of a car, an apartment, or any property in general. All this he can get into ownership as a result of inheritance, donation or sale and purchase transaction. He will be allowed to drive a car only from the age of 18. The child's parents can drive the child's own car.

Art. 60 SK RF

The tax code contains a rule: legal representatives act on behalf of minors. And if so, they will be taxed from them.

Art. 26 Tax Code of the Russian Federation

Transport tax calculator

Yes, indeed, in three years the limitation period will expire and you will not have to pay taxes, but I'm not sure that the tax office will wait that long. If the tax is not paid, the IFTS has the right to charge penalties, prohibit travel abroad, collect arrears forcibly, through the courts. The tax will be charged to the owner, that is, the child, but his legal representatives will be fully responsible for non-payment.

Art. 31 Tax Code of the Russian Federation

So registering vehicles and real estate for a minor just to avoid taxation is pointless. You will still receive a notice from the tax office.

Can you save on fines?

It used to be possible to save on fines from video recording cameras. If the child was the owner of the car, his data was entered into the PTS and STS and entered into the traffic police database. When the traffic police officer fixed the violation, he knew exactly who violated the traffic rules. Accordingly, the driver of the car was responsible. But with video cameras, everything was different: it was impossible to determine exactly who was driving, so the fine came to the owner, who was listed in the traffic police database. And if the owner is under 16 years old, it is impossible to bring him to administrative responsibility and collect a fine from him.

Art. 2.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation

On January 1, 2020, the law "On State Registration of Vehicles" and the rules for state registration of vehicles came into force - and the situation has changed.

Cars owned by children under 16 are now registered to one of the parents or adoptive parents or guardian. Their data will be indicated in the PTS and STS, and all fines will come to them. This will not affect the child's property rights in any way.

clause 8 of the vehicle registration rules

But when the child turns 16, the vehicle registration certificate and vehicle passport will have to be replaced. According to the law, on the day when the child turns 16, the traffic police is obliged to stop the state registration of the car. After that, the owner is obliged to register it in his name.

Section 5, Art. 18 of the Law "On State Registration of Vehicles"

If the car was registered to a child, there will be no savings. At the very least, this will lead to additional costs. For issuing a vehicle registration certificate, you will have to pay a state duty - 350 R through public services or 500 R through a bank. And making changes to a previously issued vehicle passport will cost 245 R if paid through public services or 350 R through a bank.

The disadvantage of your scheme

There is a clear disadvantage to registering a car or apartment for a child: you will have to coordinate any actions with such property with guardianship authorities.

Imagine you have registered a car for a two-year-old child. Surely in the next 10-15 years you want to sell it? But you can’t: there will be a ban on performing registration actions with the car before the child turns 18. Theoretically, you can deregister a car, but only after agreement with the guardianship and guardianship authorities. You will have to convince them that the rights of the child will not be violated by reselling the car.

Art. 37 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation

The same conditions apply to real estate.

If you want to sell a car or an apartment registered to a child at a discount, the guardianship authorities may refuse altogether, as this may look like a violation of the rights of the child.

Pay property tax

What is the result

A child can own both a vehicle and real estate. The law does not prohibit this.

Tax evasion will not work: the legal representatives of the child will have to pay.

The child will not be entered in the PTS and STS - his legal representative will be indicated there. He will also receive fines. And at the age of 16, the child's PTS and STS will have to be changed - these are additional costs.

When selling property owned by a child, you will need permission from the guardianship authorities. If you want to sell a car or an apartment at a discount, they may refuse.
