• Sends a tax notice no later than 30 days before the end of the payment period ( Part 2 of Article 52 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation ) indicating the tax amount.
• Sends to the taxpayer tax claim, which indicates the amount to be paid and penalties if payment was not made on time.

Upon completion of this period, the tax office loses the right to demand payment of the debt. The general limitation period is three years. Unless otherwise established by law, the limitation period begins from the day when the person learned or should have learned about the violation of his right and who is the proper defendant in the claim for the protection of this right ( Articles 196, 200 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation ).
