Commentary on Art. 226 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation

1. Analyzing the rules of paragraph 1 of Art. 226, a number of important circumstances should be noted:

a) they clarify (in relation to personal income tax) the rules of Art. 24 Tax Code (on which persons are recognized as tax agents). It is easy to note significant differences between the rules of clause 1 of Art. 24 of the Tax Code and clause 1 of Art. 226 NK, as can be seen from the table:

└───────────────────────────────┴────────────────────────────────┘

Of course, in relation to the personal income tax, priority (over the norms of Art. 24 of the Tax Code) is given to the rules of Art. 226 NK (as special rules before general rules), and should proceed from them;

b) Russian organizations (mentioned in clause 1 of Art. 226) are, in essence, only Russian legal entities. This conclusion is made on the basis of a systematic interpretation of Art. 11 and 226 NK.

In the practice of the clients of the law firm "YUKANG", the question arose: are the tax agents of organizations (for example, trade unions that are employers of taxpayers) that have not passed state registration as legal entities (and this is possible, see, for example, Article 8 of the Law on Trade Unions Article 21 of the Law on Associations)?

It is necessary to proceed from the literal text of Art. 11, 226 of the Tax Code, which means that the organizations mentioned above cannot be recognized as tax agents (in relation to personal income tax). Of course, the legislator needs to return to this problem. Until then, both the tax authorities and taxpayers must proceed from the rules of Art. 3, 108 of the Tax Code (that all irreparable doubts, ambiguities, contradictions in acts of legislation on taxes and fees should be interpreted in favor of the taxpayer);

c) under "individual entrepreneurs" (referred to in clause 1 of article 226) it is necessary to understand:

Individual entrepreneurs proper (i.e. persons who have passed state registration as individuals carrying out entrepreneurial activities without education legal entity(Article 23 of the Civil Code) in the manner prescribed by the Registration Regulations before.);

Persons equated with the rules of Art. 11 Tax Code, Art. 83 - 85 Tax Code (for tax purposes) to individual entrepreneurs (for example, private notaries, private security guards, etc.);

As employers of individuals (recall that at present, individual entrepreneurs can act as a party to an employment agreement (contract) as an employer, Articles 15-24 of the Labor Code, see about this in the book: A.N. Guev Article-by-article commentary of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation ( ed. 4) M., 2000); and also as, for example, customers in a work contract, paid provision of services, etc., who pay individuals the amount of remuneration under the terms of such a civil - legal contract;

d) permanent missions of foreign organizations (referred to in clause 1 of article 226) must be registered with tax in the Russian Federation in accordance with the procedure provided for in art. 83, 84 of the Tax Code, taking into account the specifics established by the Tax Code (see the commentary to Articles 208, 215 of the Tax Code);

e) they have the character of general rules. In other words, they should be applied only unless otherwise provided in the provisions of clauses 2-9 of Art. 226;

f) Russian organizations, individual entrepreneurs, representative offices of foreign organizations (referred to in Article 226) are recognized as tax agents only when the taxpayer:

As a result of relations (including civil - law) with them, he received the mentioned income (for example, the author of a work receives an amount of royalties from the publishing house, the patent owner receives remuneration from the person who used (under a contract with him) the invention, the patent for which he possesses, etc. .P.);

g) tax on income of lawyers is calculated, withheld and paid by the bar associations and their institutions (for example, legal consultations). The latter are also (for the purposes of Chapter 23 of the Tax Code) recognized as tax agents.

Russian organizations, individual entrepreneurs, notaries in private practice, lawyers who have established law offices, as well as separate subdivisions of foreign organizations in the Russian Federation, from which or as a result of relations with which the taxpayer received the income specified in paragraph 2 of this article are obliged to calculate, withhold from the taxpayer and pay the amount of tax calculated in accordance with article 224 of this Code, taking into account the specifics provided for by this article. Lawyers' income tax is calculated, withheld and paid by bar associations, law firms and legal consultations.

    Unless otherwise provided paragraph 2 of Article 226.1 of this Code, tax agents are also Russian organizations and individual entrepreneurs who make payments under contracts for the sale (exchange) of securities concluded by them with taxpayers.

    The tax agents specified in this clause, when determining the tax base for operations with securities on the basis of a taxpayer's application, take into account the actually incurred and documented expenses that are associated with the acquisition and storage of the relevant securities and which the taxpayer incurred without the participation of a tax agent.

    As documentary evidence of the relevant expenses, an individual must submit the originals or duly certified copies of the documents on the basis of which the individual made the relevant expenses, brokerage reports, documents confirming the fact of transfer of rights to the taxpayer with respect to the relevant securities, the fact and amount of payment of the corresponding expenses ... If an individual submits originals of documents, the tax agent is obliged to make certified copies of such documents and keep them for five years.

    2. Calculation of amounts and payment of tax in accordance with this article shall be carried out with respect to all income of a taxpayer, the source of which is a tax agent, offsetting previously withheld tax amounts (except for income in respect of which the calculation of tax amounts is carried out in accordance with article 214.7 of this Code), and in the cases and in the procedure provided for article 227.1 of this Code, also taking into account the reduction by the amount of fixed advance payments paid by the taxpayer.

    1. The paying party (for example, employer or lessee) withholds and transfers tax to the budget.

    2. An individual pays tax on his own.

    If the party making payments in favor of an individual acts as a tax agent, and itself withholds and pays personal income tax to the budget in full, the individual does not have any additional obligations.

    However, there are cases when an organization or individual entrepreneur making payments in favor of an individual does not perform the functions of tax agents or, for some reason, could not withhold tax. In this case, they are obliged to inform both the tax office and the recipient of the income about this (clause 5 of Article 226 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). It is possible to notify a citizen that tax was not withheld and paid from payments made in his favor at one time. free form... A copy of the certificate submitted to the tax office indicating the amounts paid is added to the message, so that the individual has an idea of ​​what tax will need to be paid. Information on the amounts paid, as well as the unused amounts of personal income tax, is transmitted in the first month of the year (before February 1) following the reporting one.

    An individual who finds out about the presence of debt to the budget must, no later than April 30 of the year following the reporting period, submit a tax return in the form of 3-NDFL (clause 1 of Article 229 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). If April 30 falls on a day off, then the declaration must be submitted no later than the next working day, while the deadline for submitting the declaration is not postponed if the specified date falls on a holiday. The taxpayer is obliged to submit the declaration to the tax office at his place of residence, either in person, or through a representative with a power of attorney, or by mail with a valuable letter with a list of investments (clause 4 of Article 80 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

    The tax itself must be paid no later than July 15 of the year following the reporting period, having previously specified the details for its payment (clause 4 of Article 228 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

    If the deadlines for submitting the declaration and payment of tax are violated, the tax inspectorate has the right to charge additional tax, as well as oblige the taxpayer to pay penalties and fines.

Penalties are charged for each calendar day of delay in the payment of personal income tax in the amount of 1/300 of the Central Bank's refinancing rate.

    If the taxpayer proves that he has submitted the declaration on time, calculated the tax amount correctly, but did not pay it on time, on the basis of Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation of July 30, 2013 N 57, it will be possible to appeal against the decision to impose a fine for non-payment of tax. In this case, tax authorities have the right to charge only interest.

    What gifts should you pay with personal income tax?

    When is personal income tax transferred from an employee's vacation pay?

    Until recently, this was a controversial issue and there were disagreements in the legal environment regarding the timing of personal income tax deduction from vacation pay. Since 2016, the situation has been resolved - in article 226 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, data has been entered that clarifies the provision of paragraph 6. Article 226 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation with commentaries of 2016 implies that the amount of tax on such income of physical. persons as vacation pay must be transferred by the tax agent no later than the last day of the month in which these vacation pay were paid. Previously, there was a different opinion, supported by many judgments... It was believed that the tax should be transferred no later than the day when the employee (or authorized persons in his place) actually received the sum of vacation pay on his account. However, the cassation courts quite often came to the conclusion, which is now legally enshrined. They established that the tax must be transferred on the last day of the month in which the vacation pay was paid. In their decisions, the judges indicated that the vacation pay is equal to the employee's salary, and therefore the transfer and deduction of personal income tax from the vacation pay should be the same as from the salary - on the last day of the month (paragraph 2 of article 223 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). Turning to article 226 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation with comments from 2016, now you can see the legislative consolidation of this position. So, when paying employees for sick leave and vacation pay in 2016, employers transfer personal income tax no later than last day the month in which these payments were made.

    When is personal income tax transferred, if the salary is paid in installments in the form of an advance payment and calculation?

    It is legally recognized that the date of receipt of income in the form of wages is the last day of the working month (Article 223 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). But article 226 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation with comments 2016 contains an indication that tax agents transfer the amounts of personal income tax withheld from the income of an employee no later than the date following the day of payment. Recently, the legislator clarified that when paying for vacations and paying disability benefits, the tax is deducted on the last day of the month in which the payments were made. According to the official opinion, if the salary is paid in installments, then the tax is withheld and deducted to the budget once - when calculating at the end of the month, while observing the rules of Article 226 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. Therefore, before the end of the working month, income in the form of an advance is not recognized as received. When withholding personal income tax, the amount of the advance is included in the monthly wages made at the end of the working month, and the tax on this amount is paid on the day of final settlement. This position is not controversial. It is shared by the Ministry of Finance, the Tax Service, judges and experts.

    When can the functions of a tax agent be entrusted to a trustee?

    According to the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, property can be transferred to trust management, which does not entail the transfer of ownership of it to the manager. But such a manager makes transactions with this property on his own behalf. If physical. a person, for example, decides to conclude a deposit agreement not personally, but through a trustee, then the manager enters into an agreement on his own behalf, albeit at the expense of the principal's money. Since the contract with the bank was not concluded by physical. person, then the income from the deposit agreement is nat. the person does not receive. In this case, the citizen receives income from trust, and not from a bank deposit. According to clause 1 of article 226 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, an organization can be recognized as a tax agent from interaction with which a citizen-taxpayer received income. Since the citizen has entered into a trust management agreement and received income from interaction with the manager, then, falling within the definition, the trustee can be recognized as a tax agent. An individual will be the recipient of income under the deposit agreement concluded by the trustee. Personal income tax from this income will be withheld when the money is paid to an individual by the trustee.

    Commentary on Article 226 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation

    The Tax Code of the Russian Federation stipulates that personal income tax is transferred to the budget in a special order.

    In most cases, tax is transferred to the budget not by taxpayers themselves, but by tax agents.

    With regard to personal income tax, tax agents are recognized (Article 226 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation):
    - Russian organizations;
    - collegia of lawyers, law offices and legal consultations;
    - individual entrepreneurs;
    - permanent representations in Russia of foreign organizations.

    In the new version of Article 226 of the Tax Code, notaries in private practice and lawyers who have established lawyers' offices were added to tax agents.

    This means that every time an organization or individual entrepreneur (from the ones listed above) pays income to individuals, this organization or individual entrepreneur acts as a tax agent. That is, he is obliged to calculate the tax, withhold it from the income of a taxpayer - an individual and transfer the withheld tax amount to the budget.

    There are exceptions to the above rule. Clause 2 of Article 226 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation states that the source of payment of income in some cases does not function as a tax agent.

    So, they independently pay personal income tax:
    - individual entrepreneurs - by income from entrepreneurial activity;
    - private notaries and other persons engaged in private practice in accordance with applicable law - on income received from private practice.

    In addition, individuals who receive, in particular, the following income must pay tax on their own:
    - under contracts of a civil nature concluded with another individual who is not a tax agent (for example, such contracts include contracts for the lease and lease of property from another individual);
    - from sources outside the Russian Federation;
    - from the sale of property belonging to these persons by right of ownership;
    - in the form of winnings paid by organizers of lotteries, sweepstakes and other risk-based games (including using slot machines).

    In addition, the obligation to pay tax on their own is imposed on those individuals, when paying income to whom the tax agent was not able to withhold personal income tax (for example, when issuing income in kind).

    The aforementioned taxpayers who pay tax on their own are required to submit a tax return to the tax office at their place of residence at the end of the year. The Tax Code of the Russian Federation establishes clear rules for the calculation, withholding and transfer of personal income tax by tax agents.

    1. Tax at a rate of 13 percent is calculated on an accrual basis from the beginning of the tax period at the end of each month for all income taxed at this rate.

    2. Tax at the rates of 35, 30 and 9 percent is calculated separately for each amount of income accrued to the taxpayer.

    3. The tax is calculated without taking into account the income received by the taxpayer from other tax agents, and, accordingly, without taking into account the tax calculated and withheld from these incomes.

    4. A tax agent may withhold the calculated tax only from the sums of money actually paid to the taxpayer (transferred to his account or accounts of third parties on his behalf). In this case, the amount of withholding cannot exceed 50 percent of the payment amount.

    5. If the tax agent is unable to withhold tax from the taxpayer's income (for example, when issuing income in kind or when it is known in advance that the period during which the amount of calculated tax can be withheld will exceed 12 months), he is obliged to notify in writing about this to your tax office. Such a message must be sent within a month from the moment the relevant circumstances arise. Payment of tax at the expense of the tax agent's own funds is not allowed.

    6. Excessively withheld tax amounts shall be returned by the tax agent to the taxpayer upon his written application.

    7. Tax agents not withheld (not fully withheld) are collected by tax agents from individuals until the debt is paid in full.

    The deadlines for the transfer of personal income tax by a tax agent to the budget are established in paragraph 6 of Article 226 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation:

    Regional Initiatives

    How to make legislative initiatives from the regions proposed to the federal level more effective.

    Article 226 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. Procedure and terms for payment of tax by tax agents

    This was discussed at a round table held in the Federation Council. The discussion was attended by the Deputy Chairman of the Kostroma regional Duma Ivan Bogdanov. Since 1995, regional legislative assemblies have submitted about 7 thousand draft laws to the State Duma. However, only 540 became federal laws. V last years the percentage of successful bills has increased. The Council of Legislators plays an important role in promoting local initiatives to the federal level. “Today, a vertical of legislative power has been built at all levels, from municipal to federal,” commented Ivan Bogdanov, Deputy Chairman of the Kostroma Regional Duma. , region, and as a result the whole country, sometimes it is necessary to change federal laws. In order to quickly resolve these issues, we regularly meet and work out ways for the system to work without failures. For example, there are initiatives that, having passed the first reading, stalled, queued up and sometimes dragged on for years. Now we are submitting a proposal to the regulations of the Federation Council and the State Duma in order to establish specific dates for the adoption of such initiatives. Another problem is that it takes a very long time to get any feedback - positive or negative. We propose to introduce mechanisms so that the work goes like a conveyor belt, so that we can interact with the feds and remove these difficulties. The Kostroma region is doing well. Our initiatives go through the Council of Legislators and fall into the "cage", we receive an opinion and see their implementation. I would like to note our cooperation with colleagues from Crimea. They are very productive and effective, and we sometimes adopt something from them, and sometimes we speak out about the joint promotion of laws. Our task is to make sure that the percentage of laws initiated by the regions grows. "

    Comments to Chapter 21 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation - VAT (Value Added Tax)

    VAT - value added tax

    Since its inception, VAT has always evoked conflicting feelings among taxpayers, accountants and legislators. An indirect federal tax, this levy is a premium deduction on the cost of a product or service. For the first time VAT as a tax was applied in 1954 in France, replacing the rather burdensome tax on turnover. The main essence of this fiscal instrument is to reduce the tax burden on manufacturers, while shifting the main burden to intermediaries who resell goods and services.

    In 1977, the EEC adopted a declaration on the extension of the VAT tax to all members of the economic community.

    In the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, VAT is described and regulated by Chapter 21, which is constantly being amended and supplemented. An interesting fact is that none of the 35 articles of this chapter has a precise definition of value added tax. But all other points, such as the payment procedure, exemption of beneficiaries, deductions and other nuances, are described in all details.

    Who is the VAT payer

    • all companies and private entrepreneurs using a common taxation system;
    • business entities engaged in imports and individuals transporting goods abroad

    According to the provisions of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, VAT must be paid when performing the following actions:

    • sale of goods and services;
    • redistribution of goods within the enterprise;
    • transfer of products for their own needs by private entrepreneurs;
    • construction, installation and commissioning works for their own needs;
    • export operations

    Value added tax must be paid by the 25th day of each month with a quarterly submission of a declaration, an updated sample of which was approved by the Federal Tax Service in 2014. Responsibility for late filing of the declaration, non-payment or erroneous calculation of value added tax can be both administrative and criminal in nature.

    Who does not pay value added tax

    Entrepreneurs and companies with an income of less than 2 million rubles for three months following the reporting period are exempt from VAT tax. Categories of subjects are not considered to be VAT payers economic activity operating in the following tax regimes:

    • simplified taxation system (with the exception of operations related to the import of goods into the territory of the Russian Federation);
    • work on a patent;
    • activities with a single imputed tax;
    • work on the unified agricultural tax

    VAT in 2017 - you need to know!

    According to the latest provisions, the VAT rate in 2017 will not change, amounting to 10% for a narrow list of socially important goods and 18% for all other products and exported goods. Important nuances of current legislation can be listed in the following list:

    • explanations on the incorrect filling of the declaration and calculation errors are submitted only in electronic form;
    • the term of the bank guarantee for VAT refund has been extended to two months;
    • this taxation system includes any service on the Internet provided by foreign companies

    Calculation of VAT in each individual case is a rather complicated operation, which must be dealt with by professional accountants. Numerous letters of the Federal Tax Service and the Ministry of Finance, which can be studied on the official websites of these state structures, are effective help in calculating the value added tax.
