The main points of the federal law on labor pensions. New law on pensions New in pensions from January 1

Izvestia has compiled a guide to the 10 most notable initiatives that will take effect on January 1 of the new year. Raising the retirement age for civil servants, benefits for socially oriented NGOs, additional assistants for deputies and senators, increased funding for parties. Ordinary citizens will no longer be able to buy beer in large plastic bottles, and parents will have to learn new rules for transporting children in a car. Collectors are ordered to look for civilized methods of communication with debtors.

Raising the retirement age

New retirement rules from January 1, 2017 are valid for state civil servants, municipal employees, as well as for persons holding public positions in the Russian Federation, public positions in the region and municipal positions on a permanent basis. All these categories will be entitled to the appointment and payment of an old-age insurance pension: men - upon reaching the age of 65, women - 63 years. However, the increase in the “pension threshold” will take place in stages, annually for six months.

Law on news aggregators

Large online news aggregators with a daily audience of more than 1 million people are equated to the media. Now they are required to “check the accuracy of disseminated socially significant information before they are disseminated” and immediately stop their distribution on the basis of an order from Roskomnadzor. In addition, you cannot use a news aggregator to disclose information constituting a state secret, to spread calls for terror or publicly justify terrorism, or to disseminate defamatory information. Finally, aggregators will now have to comply with the prohibitions and restrictions provided by the electoral legislation.

Law on collectors

The document was adopted after a resonant story with a collector from Ulyanovsk, who threw a Molotov cocktail through the window of the debtor and got into the crib of a two-year-old child. Now the law prohibits debt collectors from harming a debtor, using physical force or threats, threatening to kill or harm health, destroying or damaging property, exerting psychological pressure, using expressions and actions that degrade honor and dignity. Also, collectors do not have the right to disclose information about the debtor and his debt to third parties, they cannot call debtors at night and more than twice a week.

Now only credit institutions entered in a special state register have the right to knock out debts. This registry will be maintained by a government-authorized body that will appear by the end of the year. The fee for the organization of collection activities will increase 10 times - from 10 thousand to 100 thousand rubles. The penalty for violating the rules of interaction between the recoverer and the debtor has also been increased 10 times - up to 2 million rubles.

Electronic content tax

From January 1, 2017, foreign companies selling electronic content via the Internet in Russia will have to register in a special electronic accounting of the tax service and pay taxes on a par with their Russian competitors.

In particular, value added tax (VAT) will be levied on the sale of e-books, images, music, audiovisual works, computer programs (including computer games), databases, including by providing remote access to them, including updates and additional options. .

It will not be necessary to pay VAT if the supply of goods and services ordered through the network is carried out offline, the sale of programs and databases on tangible media, consulting services by e-mail and the provision of Internet access services are also not taxed. There are benefits for Russian companies selling content through the network.

Law on support of social NGOs

The fact that non-profit organizations operating in the social sphere should be supported was stated by President Vladimir Putin in his message to the Federal Assembly in December 2015. Now, from January 1, NCOs can receive the status of a provider of socially useful services, which gives them benefits and preferences for at least two years. To obtain such a status, an organization must provide public benefit services of adequate quality for at least one year, and at the same time not act as a foreign agent, and also not have tax and duty debts.

The list of services for socially oriented NGOs was approved in October by the government. The list includes, in particular, services for the provision of social assistance to the elderly, children, the disabled, people in difficult life situations, as well as services for the provision of palliative care and a number of others. The Ministry of Economic Development believes that more than 140,000 socially oriented NGOs are already de facto operating in Russia, employing about 900,000 people.

beer law

Since January 1, the production and sale of beer in plastic bottles larger than 1.5 liters has been banned. The relevant amendments were adopted by the State Duma in the first reading back in 2014.

For the first six months, you can sell old orders in large bottles, but from July 1 they should disappear from sale. Fines are provided for violations of the law: up to 200 thousand for officials, up to 500 thousand for legal entities.

Child car seat law

The rule on the mandatory use of car seats for children under the age of 12 has been relaxed. Now children from 7 to 12 years old can be transported without special devices, but only in the back seat, fastened with a standard seat belt. But when transporting a child in the front seat, you still have to use a full-fledged car seat. Children under 7 years old can only be transported in chairs - all other "special restraints" are excluded from January 1. The fine for violations remains the same - 3 thousand rubles. In addition, a new type of "traffic" fine will appear - 500 rubles for leaving a child under seven years old in the car.

Parliamentary Assistants Act

Now each deputy has two assistants for work in the State Duma and three assistants for work in the region, the wage fund for all was 165 thousand rubles. Now this amount is increased to 230 thousand. Due to this difference, the deputies will receive two more assistants in the region from which they were elected. The changes are designed to help parliamentarians establish high-quality communication with voters. The new rules will also affect the members of the Federation Council - they will also have additional assistants.

Law to increase party funding

From January 1, the parliamentary party will receive from the budget for the vote of each voter who voted for it not 110 rubles, as before, but 152. Under the new rules, United Russia will receive 4.3 billion rubles, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and the Liberal Democratic Party will almost equally - one billion, and "Fair Russia" - 0.5 billion rubles. Compared to the last Duma five-year plan, only United Russia and liberal democrats will increase their income.

Additional payments from the budget will not be required in this case - in fact, the parliamentary four redistributed among themselves the amount that the Yabloko party previously received from the budget, which won 3% of the vote in the Duma elections in 2011, which also gave the right to state funding.

Law on public discussion of public procurement from 1 billion rubles

From January 1, a government decree will come into force, which approves the rules for conducting a mandatory public discussion of the procurement of goods, works, services to meet state and municipal needs. Such a discussion will become necessary if procurement is carried out by competitive means (for example, not from a single supplier or monopolist) and the initial price of the contract exceeds 1 billion rubles. Contracts under the state defense order, repeated auctions and competitions, requests for proposals, requests for quotations for humanitarian assistance or the elimination of the consequences of natural or man-made emergencies are not submitted for discussion.

Customers and a number of separate types of legal entities should conduct the discussion. Mandatory public discussion should take place in two stages in a specialized section, which will be created in the unified information system (UIS), and in the form of face-to-face public hearings. On the EIS site, any legal entity, individual and government agencies will be able to participate in the discussion, leave their comments and suggestions.

Citizens with work experience in the northern regions of Russia can apply for a pension ahead of schedule. The table below shows the conditions for preferential retirement for employees and residents in the North:

Note: 1 year of work in areas equated to the CS is counted as 9 months of experience in the Far North. If the established length of service has not been fully developed, but more than 7.5 years, the generally established retirement age is reduced by 4 months for each full year of work in the Constitutional Court.

Until the end of 2018, the retirement age for northerners was 55 and 50 years. As part of the pension reform, these values increased by 5 years. But these changes will not be introduced immediately, but with a gradual increase in the standard during 2019-2023 (table below).

Note:* - In 2019 and 2020, there is a benefit that allows you to retire six months ahead of schedule.

Retirement of teachers and health workers

And employees can take out an insurance pension for long service ahead of time\:

• for teachers, educators, educators, etc. — 25 years work by profession;
• for doctors, nurses, paramedics, etc.:
  • working in rural areas or urban-type settlements - 25 years;
  • working in the city or with mixed experience - 30 years.

Until the end of 2018, the retirement date for these categories was determined by the date of completion of the special length of service in the profession. As of 2019, this rule has been adjusted as follows:

• Retirement of a teacher or health worker now postponed for 5 years regarding the date of development of professional experience (medical or pedagogical).
• During the transition period (2019-2022), the delay will be less:
  • in 2019 - six months;
  • in 2020 - a year and a half;
  • in 2021 - three;
  • in 2022 - four;
  • starting from 2023 and beyond - five years.

At the same time, no changes were made by law regarding the duration of the special experience - they remained the same. In addition, there are no restrictions on the type of activity of a citizen during the period of this delay: he can either continue to work at his former place, or quit or change his place of work.

Early pension based on length of service: 37 years and 42 years

From January 1, 2019, pension legislation contains a new basis for early old-age pension - work experience and. Citizens with such a long work experience can apply for pension payments 2 years ahead of schedule but not before 55/60.

The reduction of the retirement age is carried out in relation to the generally established value of the retirement age, taking into account transitional provisions according to the following scheme:

After the transition period of the reform is completed, citizens with a long work experience will leave at a fixed age - women at 58, men at 63.

Retirement of mothers with many children under the new law

Mothers of many children can retire early in old age:

• - at the age of 57;
60 Retirement age for motherswith 3 children57 with 4 children56 with 5 children50

As can be seen from the table, mothers of many children 1964-1965 year of birth those who have three children, it is more profitable to retire according to the general rules - in this case, the retirement age will be lower. Same for mothers with 4 children 1964 year of birth.

Since the beginning of 2017, new laws have come into force in Russia that relate to the lives of many Russians, so every resident of our country should be aware of the regulatory legal acts that come into force. We are talking about innovations in pensions and medical care, social benefits, changes in the education system, taxation, activities, privatization and registration of real estate.

FBA "Economy Today" talks about the most significant bills that come into force on January 1, 2017.

About debts, collectors and taxes

Since the beginning of 2017, the law on the protection of the rights of individuals in the implementation of activities to return overdue debts begins to work. In other words, it is better not to lend in order to avoid a large fine. Because if you loaned someone more than 50 thousand rubles, then you can only get your money back by resorting to the help of a collector. According to, the creditor does not have the right to remind the debtor of the repayment of the debt, either verbally or in writing, or by phone or by e-mail. All this should be dealt with purely collectors. And if the sponsor decides to remind the borrower of the debt, then he can be fined from 50 thousand to 500 thousand rubles.

Changes since the new year and the law on collectors. So, for example, after January 1, 2017, collectors do not have the right to collect debts for utility bills and violations of housing legislation. The collector is allowed to personally communicate with the debtor once a day, twice a week, 8 times a month (correspondence is allowed 2 times more often). And after 4 months of such communication, the debtor has the right to communicate with the recoverer through a lawyer. Also, starting from January 1, 2017, collectors are prohibited from inflicting moral or physical harm on the debtor, using forceful methods of influence, and damaging the debtor's property.

Another innovation affects tax legislation: from January 1, 2017, insurance premiums are transferred to the Federal Tax Service, now it will be a single social insurance fee - ESSC. Thus, the tax inspectorate will check the policyholders and deal with the distribution of the funds received. This will increase the collection of taxes and simplify the procedure for payers.

Real estate 2017: privatization, registration, payment of utilities

After March 1, 2017, free privatization of housing is canceled - the corresponding bill was approved by the State Duma. Its effect applies to those who received an apartment in 2016, but did not have time to privatize. The right to remain after March 1, 2017 remains for orphans, residents of Crimea and those who applied for privatization before 2005.

From January 1, 2017, an accounting and registration system will also begin to work in Russia, in which almost all information about real estate objects will be concentrated. The new property registration rules provide certain advantages. Among them - the accelerated terms of registration of rights to a real estate object, filing an application for registration in the branch closest to the place of residence, and not to the location of the object. If the client is ready to pay extra for delivery, then the finished package of documents will be brought to his home.

From 2017, a paper certificate of ownership will be replaced by an extract from the unified register.

From January 1, 2017, a line will appear in receipts for the maintenance of residential premises - payment for common house needs in apartment buildings. Initially, it was planned to include it in payments back in April 2016, but then a decision was made to postpone it to the beginning of 2017.

Maternity capital, increase in pensions, increase in the retirement age from 2017

The law on the payment of maternity capital, adopted in 2007 and designed for 10 years, will continue to operate until the end of December 2018. Recall that he works in relation to families in which a second and subsequent child has appeared. It is important to remember that in 2017, certificates will be introduced that are allowed to be used to purchase goods that make it easier for children with disabilities to adapt to society. By the way, from 2017, the certificate will be issued both in paper and in electronic form. The amount of payment will be 453 thousand rubles. Most often, maternity capital is used to improve housing conditions.

In January 2017, all Russian pensioners will be paid 5 thousand rubles - a one-time inflation compensation. In the future, throughout the calendar year, the amount of pension payments will increase according to the following schedule:

It is possible that the indexation of pensions for working citizens will not be carried out, they will receive compensation only after dismissal.

Since 2017, a gradual increase in the retirement age of civil servants will begin: every year it will increase by six months. So, for example, in 2017, women in the civil service will be able to retire at the age of 55.5 years, and men - 60.5 years. It is planned to gradually increase the retirement age to 63 for women and 65 for men. Seniority will also increase annually by 6 months and will reach a maximum (20 years) in 2026. It should be especially noted that the receipt of length of service will apply only to those who go on a well-deserved rest from the civil service. If a person has not recently been in the service, then he is not entitled to length of service.

About work, study and sick leave in 2017

The law on education, which was very difficult to implement in the educational institutions of Russia, was again subject to adjustment. This time, and these are by no means the first and, apparently, far from the last amendments to this document, the law clearly separated the concepts of “general” and “vocational education”. "General" - is free and includes preschool, primary, basic, secondary. "Professional" is a bachelor's degree (higher), a master's degree, a postgraduate study. Every child in Russia has the right to continuous education. And teachers will have to confirm their professionalism at the qualification commission every five years. The changes come into effect on January 1, 2017.

Since 2017, universal issuance begins. These disability certificates will have the same force as paper ones. Electronic sick leave will be filled in using an automated information system, and certified by the electronic signature of authorized persons. In any case, getting sick will become unprofitable, especially for those who have little experience.

Starting from the new year, labor legislation is also waiting for innovations: the minimum wage (minimum wage) and its subsistence level in the regions of the country will change, and sanctions for violation of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation will come into force.

Foreigners arriving in the Russian Federation for the purpose of further employment should be aware that starting from January 1, 2017, a state duty of 1,000 rubles is introduced for obtaining a document assessing knowledge of the Russian language and Russian history. At the same time, 80% of the funds received will be directed to the budget of the subject, 20% - to the state budget.

All under public control

On January 1, 2017, the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation, which approved the Rules for conducting a mandatory public discussion of the procurement of goods, works, services to meet state and municipal needs, comes into force. Through public discussion will be held, the initial (maximum) price of which exceeds 1 billion rubles.

The list of exceptions includes contracts for the state defense order, repeated auctions and competitions, requests for proposals, as well as requests for quotations for humanitarian assistance or the elimination of the consequences of various types of emergencies.

The discussion will take place in two stages. To do this, a specialized section is created in the EIS, in which all participants in the discussions must register. It can be any legal entity, individual and representatives of government agencies. The deadline for responding to all received comments and suggestions is two days.

Mandatory public comment may result in the cancellation of a procurement or changes to procurement plans, schedules, and procurement documentation.

The generally established retirement age is 55 for women and 60 for men. From 2017, the retirement age for civil servants will increase in stages - by six months annually, until it reaches the limit (in 2032, women will be entitled to an insurance pension at 63 years old, and men in 2026 - at 65 years old).

Federal Law No. 143-FZ dated May 23, 2016 “On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation Regarding Increasing the Retirement Age for Certain Categories of Citizens”, according to which the age of retirement for an old-age insurance pension and the length of service for appointment are increased for civil servants pensions will come into force on January 1, 2017.

What federal laws have been changed?

Amendments were made to the Federal Law of December 15, 2001 No. 166-FZ "On State Pension Provision in the Russian Federation" in terms of increasing the length of service and in the Federal Law of December 28, 2013 No. 400-FZ "On Insurance Pensions" in terms of raising the retirement age for civil servants and other laws relating to the civil service.

Who will be affected by the changes?

The new rules will apply to Russian citizens who are state (municipal) employees holding public positions in the Russian Federation and constituent entities of the Russian Federation, as well as municipal positions on a permanent basis.

Example: Man, 03/01/1957 year of birth, civil servant. The right to an old-age insurance pension will come into effect under the new rules upon reaching the age of 60 years and 6 months, i.e. 09/01/2017

IMPORTANT! The rules for raising the retirement age for the appointment of an insurance pension apply only to active civil servants. As soon as a citizen is released from his position, the provisions of this rule cease to apply to him, and he can count on an insurance pension (including early retirement), taking into account the generally established retirement age.

Example: A man born on 05/01/1965, for the northern experience worked out, is entitled to an early old-age insurance pension when he reaches the age of 55, i.e. in 2020. At the time of reaching the age of 55, he works in a municipal position on a permanent basis, in connection with which he acquires the right to an old-age insurance pension when he reaches the age of 57 (55 years + 2 years of increase (see table)). In the event of dismissal from a municipal position before reaching the age of 57, for example, he resigned on 07/01/2021, he acquires the right to an old-age insurance pension on 07/02/2021.

Will the differentiation of the increased retirement age depending on the gender of the civil servant continue?

Yes, it will. Women civil servants can retire earlier than men. But only for 2 years, and not for 5 years, as provided for in the pension legislation for women who are not civil servants.

Does the increase in the retirement age apply to persons who are entitled to an early appointment of an old-age insurance pension?

Yes, the increase in the retirement age also applies to persons who are entitled to early appointment of an old-age insurance pension under Art. 30-33 of the Federal Law of December 28, 2013 No. 400-FZ “On Insurance Pensions” (those who worked in jobs with harmful and difficult working conditions, in the regions of the Far North and areas equated to them, etc.).

What is the minimum seniority for civil servants?

Federal Law No. 166-FZ, as amended, establishes the minimum length of service for civil servants of all categories, which is required for retirement for long service. Gradually it will increase from 15 to 20 years - by 6 months annually. The bar will be raised gradually until 2026, as is the case with the retirement age.

IMPORTANT! The increase in the retirement age by the corresponding number of months depends on the year in which the citizen acquires the right to receive an old-age insurance pension.

Meanwhile, some civil servants will be able to claim a seniority pension, taking into account the previous (currently in force) norms. These include:

who received the right to a pension for years of service and were dismissed from the civil service before January 1, 2017; replacing civil service positions as of January 1, 2017 and having at least 20 years of service as of this date; replacing civil service positions as of January 1, 2017, having on that day 15 years of service and who received before January 1, 2017 the right to an old-age (disability) insurance pension.

IMPORTANT! Since 2017, the age limit for civil servants has been increased: from January 1, 2017, it will be 65 years instead of 60.
