In order to submit reports in time, you should take into account how the tax works on New Year's holidays in 2020. Despite the fact that its experts ask not to postpone the resolution of complex issues related to taxation on the last day of the year, many citizens ignore this recommendation, which often leads to fines and troubles. The situation is aggravated by the fact that the government, following tradition, is going to "give" the Russians New Year holidays in honor of the holiday, during which many government institutions and enterprises will not work.

Reception Schedule

When drawing up the tax schedule for work on the holidays of 2020, production calendarapproved by the Government of the Russian Federation. It identifies all weekends, as well as their transfer to other days.

December 31, 2019 - Tuesday, which means that the tax office will work on a common basis and serve customers in the hours approved for reception. The only difference is that on the last day of the year the working day will be reduced by 1 hour, which will affect the procedure for servicing citizens and the timing of receiving documents from them.
From January 1, the work of the department will be suspended during the New Year holidays, which will last until January 8. The peculiarity of this period is that this weekend is not practiced on other days, as is often the case with the transfer.
Full-fledged work will begin on January 9 (Thursday), but the citizen will have to take into account the fact that he will have very little time to resolve the issue, since January 11 and 12 are days off (according to the production schedule). And already on the 13th, the Federal Tax Service will work as usual, as provided for by its current regulations.

January 2020 calendar

If a citizen plans to contact the Office regarding payment of a mandatory fiscal fee or a previously issued fine, he will also have to take into account the work schedule of bank branches, where he will be able to complete the transfer of funds and receive the corresponding document. Despite the fact that duty centers will work in large cities, not all of them will be able to carry out such operations.

Each territorial tax division can approve an individual work schedule on New Year's holidays in 2020, if a citizen plans to contact the department during this period to resolve a particular issue, he should clarify this information on the official website or in the customer support service.

Where to go

Despite the fact that the territorial units will not serve citizens during the New Year holidays, this does not apply to customer support, which can be used by a taxpayer from any region of the Russian Federation. A separate telephone line has been allocated for receiving calls (calls are free), but the operators' answers are for informational purposes only, which cannot be used by a citizen who wants to submit a report or submit documents for registering an enterprise.

By calling customer support, you can obtain the following information:

how does tax work in January 2020 and where can a citizen turn to;
what legislative acts regulate taxation in the Russian Federation, Sevastopol and Crimea;
in which cases you can count on a tax deduction on a mortgage;
how to draw up tax or accounting statements;
in what order is the pre-trial settlement of tax disputes;
what documents should be provided for registration of a registration card, etc.

Another opportunity to get the necessary information from the tax is to use the functionality of your personal user account. In a registered account, a citizen will be able to find out the current amount of arrears in paying fiscal fees, create a receipt or even perform a certain financial transaction. You can also form a request to the tax office in your personal account, but the answer will most likely be received after the end of the New Year holidays. And if the password for the account is lost, then it can be restored only with a personal appeal to the Federal Tax Service no earlier than January 9, 2020.

Reception of clients in tax

On New Year's holidays, it will also be possible to file an appeal regarding the object of taxation or the procedure for calculating the size of the fiscal fee on the official website of the Office. But you should not count on its consideration until the end of the New Year holidays, even if the situation requires immediate intervention by tax employees.
