Large families are provided with state support in the composition determined by federal laws and regional acts. Persons receive the right to discounts on housing and communal services, monthly compensation, and subsidies.
Families registered on a permanent basis in Moscow are provided with preferential tariff discounts and monthly compensation payments. Persons with a per capita income below the subsistence level are provided with subsidies to cover part of their utility costs. Partial coverage of payments for supplied utility services is provided to bona fide payers who do not have debt (Article 160 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation).
Conditions for recognizing a family with many children
The basis for confirming large families in Moscow is the presence of 3 or more minor children. Raised blood, adopted children, and stepchildren are taken into account. Children taken into custody are not included in the family when determining eligibility for benefits. Guardian pupils are considered dependent on the state and have their own list of privileges.
When determining status, children under 16 years of age or, in the case of continuing education in institutions of general education programs, up to 18 years of age are taken into account. Adults are included in a large Moscow family when studying full-time until the age of 23 in educational institutions of all types.
A single mother or father raising more than 3 minor (studying adult) children is recognized as having many children, along with having both parents. Joint registration of children with one of the parents (single mother or father) is mandatory. In Moscow, benefits are provided for persons who have capital registration on a permanent basis.
When dad isn't there
Sometimes it happens that in the life of a happy family with many children, there is no most important man - the father of the family. But what won’t women do? They cope well with a large family, and many still have time to go to work and earn money.
But be that as it may, single mothers with many children have certain rights and support from the laws.
Mothers, in addition to caring for their children, try to give their babies love, and the state tries to somehow protect such women by giving them certain benefits.
Confirmation of the status of a large family
To receive social benefits, families with metropolitan registration need to confirm their status, issue a certificate and contact the body providing government services. Until official confirmation of status, in-kind preferences or material payments are not assigned.
The duration of the certificate's validity (until the eldest child turns 16) is indicated in the document. Extension of status for various reasons is carried out using a standard procedure.
If you change your place of residence in the capital to another region, you will need to re-establish your status and claim your right to benefits. A certificate issued in the city of Moscow becomes invalid for presentation in another region. Compensations assigned to cover part of housing and utility services cease to apply.
Tax benefits for disabled people
According to the laws of the Russian Federation, the presence of a disability category (second or third) for an entrepreneur does not completely exempt him from paying taxes. But there are some privileges that take into account the special status for people with disabilities.
IP for disabled people of group 3 provides the following benefits:
- Reduction of income tax - allowance of 500 rubles. Valid once a month.
- If your income is less than 100 thousand rubles per month, you are exempt from paying any taxes.
- There is no property tax.
- Reducing the amount of transport tax.
- The right to free travel on municipal transport (and for pensioners).
Note! Benefits for disabled people of group 3 for individual entrepreneurs are identical to the second category.
Procedure for obtaining a certificate for a large family
To obtain a certificate, you will need to contact any metropolitan branch of the MFC or send electronic forms through the Moscow Mayor’s website mos.ru. There is no state fee for issuing a certificate.
| Document | Description | Explanation |
| Application for issuance of a certificate | When applying, the person consents to the use of personal information for its intended purpose, verification of information of family members, income, place of residence | The applicant undertakes to submit information about changes affecting the legal validity of the certificate no later than one month |
| Parents' documents | Passports of parents, adoptive parents, single mothers or fathers must be submitted | Attached are photographs of adult family members in 3x4 format. |
| Children's documents | Provide birth certificates, for children over 14 years old - passports | For children over 16 years of age, provide a certificate of study at school or in other institutions until the age of 23 |
| Information about cohabitation | You will need to confirm the cohabitation of children with their parents with a certificate of family composition, an extract from the house register or a unified housing registration form | Certificates are issued by homeowners' associations, management companies at the place of registration or in centers providing public services |
| Additional information establishing relationship | The forms include certificate No. 25 from the registry office, an adoption certificate and others. | When a family member changes their last name, the change in data is confirmed by a supporting document |
The status is terminated upon deprivation of parental rights, divorce of parents with the determination of the separation of children, their placement on state support, reaching the age limit for being a dependent or completing education. In some cases, a minor is recognized as emancipated by a court decision or upon marriage.
The person must inform the OSZN about changes in conditions. If notified on time, there is a risk of overpayment. The excess amount received must be returned voluntarily or will be collected forcibly, by a court decision.
Can they refuse?
If you collect all the necessary documents, then the Federal Tax Service employees will have no reason to deny benefits to individual entrepreneurs with many children. They can also return documents. This can happen for the following reasons:
- errors in writing the application or it is filled out illegibly;
- There are not enough papers (you will have to first collect the package and then submit the application);
- contacting the tax service at a location other than your place of residence (employees will tell you the correct address and you will have to submit documents at a different address);
- if the previous individual entrepreneur has not been closed, you will need to first close it and submit documents for the current individual entrepreneur;
- If the court orders a suspension, benefits will be denied.
An individual entrepreneur needs to know about tax benefits. This also applies to large families, for whom the state has always met halfway. They have a large financial burden, so help will be useful for developing their own business.
Forms of social assistance to families
Among the measures to support large families in the housing and communal services sector, preferential tariffs are provided in the form of discounts and, if a low per capita income is confirmed, subsidies. Additionally, if they have Moscow registration, individuals receive a monthly fixed payment. The benefit is assigned upon application to one of the parents who is registered in the same territory as the child.
Persons who have the opportunity to apply for benefits on several grounds choose social support based on one of them. For example, if a family has the right to apply a 30% discount on utility bills under federal and capital legislation, compensation is assigned on any of the grounds.
| Type of benefit for housing and utilities coverage | Legislative norm | Description of the benefit | Addition |
| Application of preferential tariffs when paying for utilities and, when using social housing, to cover the cost of its use | The discount is provided within the limits of not less than 30% of the established fee. Recipients are families with 3 or more children. The legislative norm is Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated 05.05.1992 No. 431 | Provided to cover costs for the supply of water supply and sanitation, gas supply, heating, electricity supply, solid waste management | In the absence of central heating, the cost of purchasing fuel is paid according to the standards and prices approved in the region |

Limited by the social standard for housing per member |
State support in the presence of debts is not assigned, even if there are overdue payments for certain types of services. Applicants for the privilege must not have debts for all types of payments. In the future, payments are made only for the current period, from the moment the debt is repaid. No compensation is provided for the previous period.
According to the judges of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, the presence of debt cannot be a basis for an unconditional refusal to provide social assistance. If valid reasons for the debt are confirmed - loss of work, disability, illness and other reasons, the provision of support measures cannot be refused. Restoration of rights is carried out in court.
Chairman of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation V.M. Lebedev (Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation dated June 27, 2017 No. 22)
Many children - many rights
Raising children is not an easy process; it requires great moral strength and, of course, costs. Raising one or two children and giving them everything for decent development can sometimes be difficult. What can we say about families with three or more children.
Such families are supported by the state at the legislative level. Parents have the right to certain assistance.
In the Russian Federation, much is being done to support women’s desire to have as many children as possible. After all, if you compare statistics on mortality and fertility, the first is clearly ahead of the second.
Therefore, the Russian government issued many laws and provided benefits to encourage childbearing.
Registration of capital compensation payment
Along with discounts on tariffs and subsidies, persons with more than 3 children in Moscow are provided with fixed compensation. Conditions for receiving benefits:
- The payment is intended to partially cover the amounts spent on housing and utilities. The benefit is assigned regardless of other privileges in the housing and communal services sector or costs incurred.
- The recipient is one of the parents.
- The amount of compensation depends on the number of children being raised. If you have 3 to 4 children, the benefit in 2020 is 1,044 rubles, over 5 dependents - 2,088 rubles.
- A separate amount of 250 rubles is allocated to compensate for the fee for using a landline telephone. The benefit is paid to cover the cost of one number and does not apply to the second subscriber. The cost or tariff plan does not affect the amount.
An application for benefits can be submitted in person or remotely at the MFC or on the website of the Moscow Mayor. The benefit, upon confirmation of the grounds, is also provided for the previous period of no more than six months, subject to eligibility.
Important! In 2020, the amount of benefits in Moscow for families with children will be indexed by 5.6% compared to the previous period.
Can individual entrepreneurs receive benefits?
First of all, an individual entrepreneur can independently choose one of the special taxation options offered by the state. Each of them corresponds to a specific style of doing business:
- STS (simplified taxation system). Here a businessman has two options.
Important! The first “simplified” option includes a tax of 1-6% (depending on the region) of total income.
Multitasking is a common thing for an entrepreneur
In another scenario, the difference (income minus expenses) is taxed. The percentage depends on the location and ranges from 5-15%.
There are several conditions for applying the simplified tax system: the number of subordinates should not exceed 150, and the annual turnover should not exceed 150 million rubles. (Chapter 26.2 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).
- PSN (patent taxation system). The system assumes the presence of a special patent that allows you to engage in a certain activity for a limited period of time. In this case, the number of employees is limited to 15, and annual income is limited to 60 million rubles. (Chapter 26.5 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).
- UTII (single tax on imputed income). “Imputation” does not take into account real income, because the tax is calculated based on estimated financial receipts. The number of subordinates is limited to 100 (Chapter 26.3 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).
Unified agricultural tax (unified agricultural tax). Suitable for farm owners and agricultural producers. (Chapter 26.1 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).
The Tax Code is an important document for individual entrepreneurs
Remote document submission option
Submission of documents in electronic form is carried out by a person in the order of receiving government services. Compensation or discount is provided after verification of information. If necessary, the person is requested to provide originals. The period for consideration of the request by the OSZN is 10 days. The recipient is informed about a positive decision or refusal in his personal account registered on the portal.
To transfer documents, you will need to perform an algorithm of actions, including:
- Registration of personal data.
- Authorization on the site.
- Selecting the required one.
- Filling out an application, uploading scanned forms. Monitoring information about the status of the request.
- Receipt of the amount into the applicant's account. The method of receiving payment is determined by the applicant.
To confirm the right to compensation, persons present an identity card, documents of all family members, evidence of cohabitation, additional certificates about the absence of the second parent, court decisions, and others. You will also need to provide information about your income, housing used and family composition, and confirm the absence of debts. The full list of required documents is determined by individual circumstances.
An applicant for a benefit may be denied if part of the information or grounds is missing, if there is a debt, or if false data is identified. An unauthorized refusal can be appealed pre-trial (to a higher organization of the Ministry of Social Protection of the Russian Federation), the prosecutor's office or the court. When filing a complaint, you must submit a written refusal from the authorized body.
Exemption from inspections
A temporary ban on inspections of small businesses, or “supervisory holidays,” was adopted to accelerate the development of newly opened individual entrepreneurs. The moratorium on scheduled tax audits is valid for 3 years from the date of registration of the entrepreneur.
Availability of cash register
Another relief for businesses is the exemption from the purchase of cash registers. These include:
- Individual entrepreneurs with their own payment systems.
- Spiritual and religious organizations.
- Individual entrepreneurs opened in hard-to-reach areas.
- Pharmacies in rural areas.
A cash register is important for running a business.
Answers to common questions
Question No. 1. Can compensation be provided for the previous period if the right existed, but the applicant did not make a request?
Compensation is accrued after submitting an application in the current or next month. For an earlier period, the benefit is not provided. The exception is monthly compensation, payment of which is made for the previous six months.
Question No. 2. Is the deadline for submitting documents for a discount or monthly payment taken into account?
The period for reviewing documents and making a decision on the purpose of payment is 10 days. If you apply before the 15th day of the month, you can take advantage of the benefit in the current period. Persons who submit a complete set of documents at the end of the month (after the 16th) receive the right to preference starting from the next month.
Advantages in government procurement
Loan for the self-employed - special conditions where you can get a loan
During a financial crisis, the role of the state apparatus in managing the economy increases exponentially.
Note! Participation in government procurement is a vital factor for some entrepreneurs. But small businessmen can hardly compete with large companies in the fight for government contracts.
Therefore, special rules have been developed specifically for them:
- The security payment does not exceed 2% of the amount of the entire contract (for other participants - no less than 5%).
- The state customer is obliged to pay for goods or work no later than 15 days for individual entrepreneurs (other persons are paid within 30 calendar days).
- A large government customer (turnover over 2 billion rubles) is required to purchase more than 18% of products or work from small businesses.
- The share of purchases of a certain service or product from entrepreneurs must exceed 15% of the total volume.
Participation in government procurement is a profitable business
Important! Such conditions allow small businesses to actively participate in contracts for certain services and profit through incentives and benefits.
