Parliamentarian Yevgeny Fedorov spoke in favor of the abolition of tax on the sale of inherited housing

State Duma spokesman Yevgeny Fedorov proposed to exempt Russian citizens from taxes on income from the sale of inherited property.  The corresponding initiative was received by the head of the Ministry of Labor Anton Kotyakov.

According to current laws, heirs have the right to sell the received property only after 3 years of ownership.  Fedorov noted that this rule created additional obstacles for those Russians who already had housing and would like to sell their inheritance.  In this case, they had to pay a 13% tax on the sale or wait 3 years, but at the same time pay for utilities.

According to RT, Fedorov advocated the abolition of tax on the sale of one type of real estate - inherited.

The deputy notes that sometimes several people are heirs, and this complicates the process of disposing of property.

In addition, the housing received is not always suitable for renting it out for 3 years.  Therefore, Fedorov urged not to levy tax on the sale of inherited property, regardless of the period of ownership.
