Accounting for tax purposes on the cost of uniforms for employees depends on various factors, including:

  • conditions for issuing uniforms (for permanent or temporary use);
  • grounds for issuing uniforms (at the request of the law or at the initiative of the organization);
  • the taxation system that the organization applies.

personal income tax

The cost of uniforms transferred to a person for personal use is not subject to personal income tax only on the condition that the clothes are issued:

  • volunteers, volunteers civil law contracts for gratuitous provision of services or performance of works;
  • as part of charitable activities or sporting events.

This is established by paragraph 3.2 of Article 217 of the Tax Code.

In other cases, when clothes are transferred for permanent personal use, personal income tax must be withheld. This is due to the fact that in this case, clothing represents the employee's income received in kind. This follows from paragraph 1 of Article 210 and subparagraph 3 of paragraph 2 of Article 211 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. This conclusion is confirmed by the letter of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated February 9, 2007 No. 03-04-06-02 / 19.

If the clothes are transferred to the employee for temporary use, then personal income tax does not need to be withheld. In this case, the uniform belongs to the organization and is issued to employees for the duration of work, and after the end of the service life is returned. As a result of the temporary use of clothing, the employee does not receive income. This follows from articles 41, 209 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation and is confirmed by the letters of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated February 9, 2007 No. 03-04-06-02 / 19, dated June 7, 2006 No. 03-03-04 / 1/502.

Insurance premiums

Do not charge insurance premiums:

  • if uniforms are issued in accordance with the law and are transferred to the permanent personal use of employees. This operation is exempt from paying insurance premiums (clause 9, part 1, article 9 of the Law of July 24, 2009 No. 212-FZ, subparagraph 10, clause 1, article 20.2 of the Law of July 24, 1998 No. 125-FZ) ;
  • if uniforms are issued for temporary use by employees. In this case, there is no basis for calculating insurance premiums (Article 7 of the Law of July 24, 2009 No. 212-FZ, clause 1 of Article 20.1 of the Law of July 24, 1998 No. 125-FZ).

The procedure for calculating other taxes depends on what system of taxation the organization applies.

BASIC: income tax

Take into account the costs of issuing uniforms when calculating income tax, depending on the conditions for issuing them.

Situation: how to take into account the cost of uniforms transferred for permanent personal use to employees when calculating income tax?

From the letter of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated July 5, 2011 No. 03-03-06 / 2/109, it follows that for the purposes of taxation of profits, the cost of uniforms transferred for permanent personal use to employees must be included in labor costs (clause 5 article 255 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

In this case, the following conditions must be met:

  • the issuance of uniforms is economically justified (clause 1 of article 252 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, letter of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated November 1, 2005 No. 03-03-04 / 2/99);
  • uniforms indicate that the employee belongs to the organization (clause 5 of article 255 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, letters of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated April 2, 2009 No. 03-03-06 / 1/207, dated November 1, 2005 No. 03-03-04 /2/99);
  • the issuance of uniforms is provided for by the labor and (or) collective agreement (clause 5, article 255 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation);
  • the costs of purchasing uniforms and transferring them for permanent personal use to employees are documented (clause 1, article 252 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

Subject to these conditions, the organization has the right to reduce taxable profit by the entire cost of uniforms. If the labor and (or) collective agreement provides for the reimbursement of the cost of uniforms at the expense of the employee (i.e., its sale), then when calculating income tax, only that part of the expenses that he did not compensate (clause 5 of article 255 of the Tax Code) can be taken into account RF).

It should be noted that the letter of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated February 9, 2009 No. 03-03-06 / 1/43 stated that the costs of purchasing uniforms can be taken into account not only as part of labor costs (clause 5 of article 255 of the Tax Code RF), but also as part of material costs (subclause 3, clause 1, article 254 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). However, this option is acceptable provided that the issuance of uniforms is provided for by law (subclause 3, clause 1, article 254 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). Then the organization has the right to independently choose one of the accounting options (clause 4, article 252 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

  • if employees do not reimburse the cost of clothing, then write off the entire amount of the cost of purchasing it as a reduction in taxable profit (subclause 3, clause 1, article 254 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation);
  • if employees reimburse part of the cost of clothing, attribute the entire amount of the cost of purchasing it to expenses, and include the part compensated by employees in non-operating income (subclause 3, clause 1, article 254, clause 3, article 250 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). With the accrual method, increase income at the time of issuing uniforms to employees, with the cash method - after receiving reimbursement from them (subclause 4, clause 4, article 271, clause 2, article 273 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

Write off the costs of issuing uniforms for any of the accounting options (as labor costs or as material costs) (start writing off):

  • with accrual method - as uniforms are transferred for permanent personal use to employees;
  • on a cash basis - as uniforms are issued for permanent personal use to employees and their cost is paid to the supplier.

The organization has the right to independently determine the procedure for writing off clothing, taking into account the period of its use and other economic indicators. For example, at a time or evenly over several reporting periods.

This procedure follows from the provisions of paragraph 5 of Article 255, subparagraph 3 of paragraph 1 of Article 254, paragraphs 1 and 4 of Article 272 and subparagraph 1 of paragraph 3 of Article 273 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

Advice: the definition of a cost item for accounting for the cost of purchasing uniforms is important:

  • to form tax accounting registers on expenses (Articles 313 and 314 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation);
  • to allocate labor costs, if they included by the organization in direct costs (Clause 1, Article 318 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation);

As part of depreciable property, the cost of uniforms transferred for permanent personal use to employees cannot be taken into account. These assets do not match (the period of use of uniforms by the organization does not exceed 12 months). This follows from paragraph 1 of Article 256, paragraph 1 of Article 257 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

Situation: is it possible to take into account the expenses for the purchase of uniforms transferred for temporary use to employees when calculating income tax?

Yes, you can.

When calculating income tax, any economically justified and documented expenses are taken into account, except for expenses directly named in Article 270 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. This follows from the provisions of paragraph 1 of Article 252 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

In addition, the amount of expenses for the purchase of uniforms and the fact of its transfer to employees must be documented. Justify the issuance of uniforms should be internal documents. For example, in the Labor Regulations it can be fixed that in order to maintain positive image organizations, employees in direct contact with customers (counterparties) are required to wear uniforms. Confirm the fact of issuing uniforms to employees primary documents.

As for the expense item, which can take into account the cost of purchasing uniforms transferred for temporary use to employees, they must be taken into account as part of material costs. That is, despite the fact that uniforms are not special, and their issuance is not provided for by law, such expenses must be written off on the basis of subparagraph 3 of paragraph 1 of Article 254 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. Such an explanation is contained in the letter of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated July 5, 2011 No. 03-03-06/2/109.

It should be noted that earlier representatives of the financial and tax departments took a different position. So, in the letter of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated December 16, 2008 No. 03-03-06 / 2/169, it was said that such costs should be taken into account as part of labor costs (clause 5, article 255 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). Costs for the purchase of uniforms transferred to employees for temporary use are not included in material expenses. The financial department substantiated its conclusion by the provisions of subparagraph 3 of paragraph 1 of Article 254 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, according to which expenses for the purchase of special clothing and protective equipment provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation are recognized as material costs. Since uniforms are not special, and they are issued to employees solely at the initiative of the organization, there are no grounds for including these costs in material costs. At the same time, recognizing such costs as economically justified, the Russian Ministry of Finance recommended that they be accounted for as labor costs in accordance with paragraph 5 of Article 255 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. Similar explanations were given by representatives of the tax service (see, for example, letters of the Federal Tax Service of Russia for Moscow dated December 27, 2007 No. 20-12 / 124753, dated July 5, 2007 No. 20-12 / 064121).

Write off the cost of purchasing uniforms:

  • with the accrual method - as uniforms are transferred for temporary use to employees;
  • under the cash method - as uniforms are issued for temporary use to employees, subject to payment of its cost to the supplier.

This procedure follows from the provisions of paragraphs 2 and 4 of Article 272 and subparagraph 1 of paragraph 3 of Article 273 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

Advice: the organization can independently choose the option of accounting for uniforms (as part of material costs or as part of labor costs).

Paragraph 4 of Article 252 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation allows you to do this. It says here that if the costs with equal justification can be attributed simultaneously to several groups of expenses, the organization has the right to independently determine which group to attribute them to.

At the same time, remember that the option of accounting for the cost of uniforms as part of labor costs can be chosen if its issuance is provided for by the labor and (or) collective agreement (clause 5 of article 255 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

The selected option for accounting for uniforms should be fixed in the accounting policy for tax purposes.

Determining the cost item for accounting for the cost of purchasing uniforms is important:

  • for the formation of registers tax accounting on expenses (Articles 313 and 314 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation);
  • for the distribution of labor costs, if they are included by the organization in direct costs (clause 1, article 318 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation);
  • to write off the costs of certain types of voluntary insurance of employees as a reduction in taxable profit, since the accounting limit for such costs depends on the amount of labor costs (clause 16, article 255 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

In particular, if the organization incurs the cost of voluntary insurance of employees, then the cost of uniforms transferred for permanent personal use to employees should be attributed to labor costs (clause 5, article 255 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). If labor costs are included by the organization in direct costs, then the cost of uniforms is better written off under the item of material costs that are not related to production activities organizations (subclause 3, clause 1, article 254 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

BASIC: VAT

The transfer of uniforms for temporary use, when the ownership of it is retained by the organization, is not subject to VAT (clause 1, article 146 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

Situation: is it possible to deduct input VAT on uniforms that are issued to employees for temporary use? The organization applies the general system of taxation.

Yes, you can.

The main condition for the deduction of input VAT is the connection of expenses with the activity subject to VAT. This follows from paragraph 2 of Article 171 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. Uniform is an element of prestige ( business reputation) organization, which allows you to increase interest in it from customers. In turn, the interest of customers contributes to an increase in sales, that is, an increase in the number of taxable transactions. In addition, for some categories of employees, the wearing of uniforms is provided legislation . If the requirements of the law are not met, the organization is not entitled to conduct economic activities (i.e., perform taxable transactions).

It follows from this that, subject to the other conditions provided for in Articles 171 and 172 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, the organization can deduct the input VAT presented by the supplier (manufacturer) of uniforms. An exception to this rule is when:

  • organization is exempt from VAT ;
  • organization only conducts not taxable VAT transactions.

In these cases, the input VAT should be taken into account in the cost of the uniform. This follows from paragraph 2 of Article 170 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

It is possible that when checking tax office disagree with this approach. There is no arbitration practice on this issue yet.

Situation: is it necessary to accrue VAT when transferring uniforms into the ownership of employees?

Yes need.

The transfer of uniforms into the ownership of employees is recognized as a sale. This means that regardless of whether employees compensate for its cost or not, when issuing uniforms, VAT must be charged (clause 1, article 146, clause 3, article 164 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). Calculate tax from market value at a rate of 18 percent (clause 2, article 154, clause 3, article 164 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). This is stated in the letter of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated April 22, 2005 No. 03-04-11 / 87. Accept the “input” VAT presented by the supplier when purchasing uniforms for deduction (subparagraph 1, paragraph 2, article 171 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

USN

The tax base of simplified organizations that pay a single income tax does not reduce the cost of purchasing uniforms. Such organizations do not take into account any expenses (clause 1 of article 346.18 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

Situation: how to take into account when calculating a single tax when simplifying the cost of uniforms transferred to employees for permanent personal use? The organization pays a single tax on the difference between income and expenses.

Take into account as part of labor costs (subject to certain conditions) or as part of material costs.

The position of the financial department is expressed only in relation to accounting for these costs when calculating income tax. However, the explanations of the Ministry of Finance of Russia can also be extended to a simplified one, since the procedure for accounting for uniforms in a special regime is similar to its accounting for the general taxation system (with the exception of the moment when expenses are recognized in the tax base) (subparagraphs 5 and 6 of paragraph 1, paragraph 2 of article 346.16 , paragraph 5 of article 255, subparagraph 3 of paragraph 1 of article 254, subparagraph 1 of paragraph 2 of article 346.17 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

If an organization pays a single tax on the difference between income and expenses, then the cost of uniforms transferred to the ownership of employees reduces the tax base (as in the calculation of income tax). In this case, the following conditions must be met:

  • the issuance of uniforms is economically justified (clause 2 of article 346.16, clause 1 of article 252 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, letter of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated November 1, 2005 No. 03-03-04 / 2/99);
  • uniform indicates that the employee belongs to the organization (subparagraph 6, paragraph 1 and paragraph 2 of article 346.16, paragraph 5 of article 255 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, letters of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated April 2, 2009 No. 03-03-06 / 1 / 207, dated November 1, 2005 No. 03-03-04/2/99);
  • the issuance of uniforms is provided for by the labor and (or) collective agreement (subparagraph 6, paragraph 1 and paragraph 2 of article 346.16, paragraph 5 of article 255 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation);
  • the costs of purchasing uniforms and transferring them for permanent personal use to employees are documented (clause 2, article 346.16, clause 1, article 252 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

Subject to these conditions, the organization has the right to take into account the entire cost of uniforms when calculating the single tax. If the labor and (or) collective agreement provides for the reimbursement of the cost of uniforms at the expense of the employee (i.e., its sale), then when calculating the single tax, only that part of the expenses that he did not compensate can be taken into account (subclause 6, clause 1, clause 2 article 346.16 and paragraph 5 article 255 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

It should be noted that the letter of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated February 9, 2009 No. 03-03-06 / 1/43 stated that the costs of purchasing uniforms can be taken into account not only as part of labor costs (subparagraph 6, paragraph 1, clause 2, article 346.16 and clause 5, article 255 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation), but also as part of material expenses (subclause 5, clause 1, clause 2, article 346.16 and clause 3, clause 1, article 254 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation) . However, this option is acceptable provided that the issuance of uniforms is provided for by law (subclause 3, clause 1, article 254 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

The procedure for accounting for uniforms as part of material costs is as follows:

  • if employees do not reimburse the cost of clothing, then write off the entire amount of the cost of purchasing it as a reduction in the tax base (subparagraph 5, paragraph 1, paragraph 2, article 346.16 and subparagraph 3, paragraph 1, article 254 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation);
  • if employees reimburse part of the cost of clothing, allocate the entire amount of the cost of purchasing it to expenses, and include the part compensated by employees in non-operating income (subclause 5, clause 1, clause 2, article 346.16, subclause 3, clause 1, article 254, clause 1, article 346.15, clause 3, article 250 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). Increase your income after receiving reimbursement from employees for the clothes issued to them (clause 1 of article 346.17 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

Write off (start writing off) the costs of issuing uniforms for any accounting option (as labor costs or as material costs) as uniforms are issued to employees and their cost is paid to the supplier. After all, the organization has the right to independently determine the procedure for writing off clothing, taking into account the period of its use and other economic indicators. For example, at a time or evenly over several reporting periods (subclauses 5 and 6 clause 1, clause 2 of article 346.16, clause 5 of article 255, clause 3 of clause 1 of article 254, clause 2 of article 346.17 Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

Advice: when calculating a single tax, it is important to determine the procedure for accounting for the cost of uniforms transferred for permanent personal use to employees in accordance with the requirements of the law, it is important, in particular, to check income limit, giving the right to apply simplified .

Insofar as this indicator calculated based on the results of each reporting (tax) period, including taking into account the amount of non-operating income (clause 1, article 346.15, article 250 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). Therefore, if part of the cost of uniforms is compensated by employees to organizations, it is advisable to keep records of its cost under the item of labor costs (without being reflected in the composition of material costs and non-operating income) (subparagraphs 5 and 6 of clause 1, clause 2 of article 346.16, item 5 of article 255, sub-item 3 of item 1 of article 254, item 1 of article 346.15, item 3 of article 250 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

As part of expenses for the acquisition of fixed assets the cost of uniforms transferred to the ownership of employees cannot be taken into account. These assets do not match depreciable property criteria for the purpose of calculating income tax (the period of use by the organization of uniforms does not exceed 12 months). This follows from paragraph 4 of article 346.16, paragraph 1 of article 256, paragraph 1 of article 257 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

Situation: is it possible to take into account the costs of purchasing uniforms transferred for temporary use to employees when calculating the single tax? The organization applies simplified taxation and pays a single tax on the difference between income and expenses.

Yes, you can.

When calculating a single tax on the difference between income and expenses, economically justified and documented expenses are taken into account, named in paragraph 1 of Article 346.16 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, including material expenses (subparagraph 5 of paragraph 1 of Article 346.16 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation) and expenses for payment labor (subclause 6, clause 1, article 346.16 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). At the same time, both material costs and labor costs when calculating the single tax are recognized in the same manner as when calculating income tax on a cash basis (clause 2 of article 346.16, subparagraph 1 of paragraph 2 of article 346.17 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

Uniform is an element of prestige (business reputation) of the organization, which allows you to increase interest in it from customers. In turn, the interest of customers contributes to an increase in sales, expansion of the sales market and, ultimately, an increase in profits. Thus, the costs of purchasing uniforms can be considered as costs associated with activities aimed at generating income, and qualify them as economically justified (clause 1, article 252 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). To do this, uniforms must indicate that the employee belongs to a particular organization (letters of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated April 2, 2009 No. 03-03-06 / 1/207, dated November 1, 2005 No. 03-03-04 / 2/99) .

In addition, the amount of expenses for the purchase of uniforms and the fact of its transfer to employees must be documented. Justify the issuance of uniforms should be internal documents. For example, in the Labor Regulations it can be fixed that in order to maintain a positive image of the organization, employees who are in direct contact with customers (counterparties) are required to wear uniforms. In addition, in employment contracts or in a collective agreement, it is necessary to provide for the obligation of the organization to provide employees with uniforms. Confirm the fact of issuing uniforms to employees with primary documents.

As for the expense item, which can take into account the cost of purchasing uniforms transferred for temporary use to employees, they must be taken into account as part of material costs. That is, despite the fact that uniforms are not special, and their issuance is not provided for by law, such expenses must be written off on the basis of subparagraph 3 of paragraph 1 of Article 254 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation (paragraph 2 of Article 346.16 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). Such an explanation is contained in the letter of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated July 19, 2012 No. 03-11-06/2/87.

UTII

The object of taxation of UTII is imputed income (clause 1 of article 346.29 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). Therefore, the cost of purchasing (manufacturing) uniforms does not affect the calculation of the tax base for UTII.

OSNO and UTII

Account for the costs of issuing uniforms to employees in accordance with the rules of the taxation regime that applies to the activity in which the employee is engaged.

An organization can issue uniforms to employees who are simultaneously engaged in the activities of an organization subject to UTII and activities from which the organization pays taxes under the general taxation system. In this case spending needs to be allocated .

This procedure is established by paragraph 9 of Article 274 and paragraph 7 of Article 346.26 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

Situation: how to take into account the issuance of uniforms to an employee engaged in activities at OSNO and UTII? Clothes issued when the employee was engaged in activities on OSNO.

If an organization issues uniforms to employees for permanent use (with the transfer of ownership), then these expenses may reduce taxable income. The cost of issuing uniforms for temporary use can also be taken into account when calculating income tax.

At the same time, when transferring an employee, expenses previously recognized in the calculation of income tax are not adjusted. This is due to the fact that even before the transfer, the cost of uniforms in tax accounting was written off (Article 272, clause 3 of Article 273 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

Due to the fact that the uniform purchased for use in VATable transactions, the organization began to use in activities on UTII, restore the VAT previously accepted for deduction (subclause 2, clause 3, article 170 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). For more information on VAT refunds, see How to recover input VAT . At the same time, if the organization uses such property simultaneously in activities on the general taxation system and in activities on UTII, distribute the received amount of VAT to be recovered in proportion to the share of transactions that are not subject to VAT, in total cost goods (works, services, property rights) shipped during the tax period. For recovery, accept the amount of VAT attributable to the share of transactions that are not subject to this tax. This procedure is provided for in paragraphs 4, 4.1 of Article 170 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

confirms this position and tax office(letter of the Federal Tax Service of Russia dated May 2, 2006 No. ШТ-6-03/462).

We have repeatedly raised issues related to the provision of pharmacy employees with special clothing at the expense of the employer, with compliance with the established rules when issuing them, in accounting, with the procedure for accounting for the costs of their purchase in tax and accounting, as well as with the need to calculate insurance premiums from the cost of a uniform clothes of pharmacy workers (see consultations by O.P. Grishina “Special clothing for pharmacy staff”, “Insurance premiums from the cost of uniforms”).

It seems appropriate to consider the issue of imposing personal income tax on the cost of workwear issued to employees, especially since the competent authorities have recently issued clarifications on this matter.

Paragraph 3 of Art. 217 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, it is determined that all types established by the current legislation of the Russian Federation, legislative acts of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, decisions of representative bodies of local self-government compensation payments(within the limits established in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation) are not subject to taxation (exempt from taxation) of personal income tax. This norm specifies the list of the above types of compensation. These include payments related, in particular:

    with compensation for harm caused by injury or other damage to health;

    with the payment of the cost and (or) the issuance of the due allowance in kind, as well as with the payment Money instead of this allowance;

    with the dismissal of employees, with some exceptions.

About compensation payments

As indicated by the Presidium of the EAC in the Review judicial practice Supreme Court Russian Federation No. 1 (2016) dated April 13, 2016, the Tax Code does not define the concept of "compensation payments". Meanwhile, according to paragraph 1 of Art. 11 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, the institutions, concepts and terms of civil, family and other branches of the legislation of the Russian Federation used in this code are applied in the sense in which they are used in these branches of legislation, unless otherwise provided by the said code. Article 164 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation contains the concepts of guarantees and compensations used in labor legislation. Guarantees are defined as the means, methods and conditions by which the implementation of the rights granted to employees in the field of social and labor relations is ensured. Compensation - these are cash payments established in order to reimburse employees for the costs associated with the performance by them of labor or other stipulated Labor Code or other federal statutory duties.

From the provisions of Art. 164 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and clause 3 of Art. 217 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation follows: the income of an employee received as compensation for those costs incurred by him in connection with the implementation of job duties i.e. compensation payments.

On the overalls issued to pharmacy employees and their cost

By virtue of Art. 221 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation at work with harmful and (or) hazardous conditions work, as well as at work performed in special temperature conditions or associated with pollution, workers should be issued free of charge special clothing, special footwear and other personal protective equipment that have passed mandatory certification or declaration of conformity, as well as flushing and (or) neutralizing agents in accordance with standard norms , which are established in the manner determined by the Government of the Russian Federation. The employer, at his own expense, is obliged, in accordance with the established norms, to ensure the timely issuance of special clothing, special footwear and other personal protective equipment, as well as their storage, washing, drying, repair and replacement.

For reference: Article 209 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation establishes that personal protective equipment includes technical means used to prevent or reduce the impact on workers of harmful and (or) hazardous production factors and to protect against pollution.

As for pharmacies, Order of the Ministry of Health of the USSR dated January 29, 1988 No. 65 “On the introduction of industry standards for the free issuance of overalls, special footwear and other personal protective equipment, as well as standards for sanitary clothing and sanitary footwear” for employees of pharmacy institutions establishes the norms for issuing sanitary clothes and sanitary shoes. According to these standards, the named clothing and footwear are the property of a pharmacy organization and issued to employees free during work .

As follows from sect. 2 "Terms and definitions" Instructions for sanitary regime pharmacy organizations (pharmacies), the main purpose of sanitary clothing for pharmacy workers is to protect medicines, materials and finished products of a pharmacy from additional microbiological and other contaminants emitted by staff. In other words, sanitary clothing should block the access of the polluting environment to tablets, potions and other medicines.

As you can see, in the list of compensation payments established by paragraph 3 of Art. 217 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation does not contain such a type of compensation as the issuance of work clothes to employees. Accordingly, it is impossible to say with certainty whether its value is subject to personal income tax.

At the same time, by virtue of paragraph 1 of Art. 210 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, when determining the base for personal income tax, all taxpayer incomes that he received both in cash and in kind or the right to dispose of which he has arisen are taken into account. Income is an economic benefit in cash or in kind, taken into account if it is possible to assess it to the extent that such benefit can be assessed, and determined on the basis of Ch. 23 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation (Article 41 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

According to official position the cost of special clothing and footwear is not subject to personal income tax, provided that they are issued for production activities and do not become the property of employees. The Ministry of Finance, in Letter No. 03-04-06/1222 dated January 16, 2017, pointed out the obligation of the employer to provide employees with the means necessary for the performance of their labor duties, established by Art. 22 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. The agency explains that if special clothing and footwear are issued to employees of an organization only for the implementation of production activities and do not become their property, then the cost of these special clothing and footwear cannot be recognized as an economic benefit (income) of employees and, accordingly, be subject to personal income tax.

Compensation to employees of the cost of self-acquired PPE is also not subject to personal income tax by virtue of clause 3 of Art. 217 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation (Letter of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated August 31, 2009 No. 03-04-06-01 / 226).

Note that this is not the first time the Ministry of Finance has expressed such an opinion. Yes, in more early letter officials made a similar conclusion to the above-mentioned conclusion about the cost of overalls issued to pharmacy workers in accordance with the standards established by the organization, which, not being an economic benefit (income) of the employee, is not subject to personal income tax (Letter dated 04.04.2007 No. 03-03-06/1/214). Subsequently, this position was confirmed by Letter No. 03-04-06/9-227 dated 08.08.2012.

From the article you will learn:

1. What taxes and contributions and in what order should be charged when presenting gifts to employees.

2. How gifts to employees are taken into account for the purposes of calculating income tax, under the simplified tax system.

3. In what order are gifts to employees reflected in accounting.

It's no secret that the most common way to express your gratitude or show attention to another person is to give him a gift. Therefore, many employers practice "gifting" their employees as part of corporate culture. Fortunately, there are enough reasons for presenting presents: these are official holidays, such as New Year, Defender of the Fatherland Day (February 23), International Women's Day (March 8), and individual, for example, a professional holiday or an employee's birthday. However, despite the solemnity of the moment, giving gifts to employees from the point of view of accounting is business transaction, which needs to be properly executed, reflected in the accounting, calculate taxes and contributions. How to do all this correctly and what to pay attention to an accountant, we will consider in this article.

What is a gift

A gift to a gift is different. In order to correctly process the transfer of a gift to an employee, and then correctly calculate taxes and contributions from this operation, it is necessary to determine how this gift is qualified from the point of view of civil and labor legislation.

1. A gift not related to labor activity employee(for anniversaries and holidays, etc.).

According to Civil Code In the Russian Federation, a thing is recognized as a gift (including cash, Gift certificates), which one party (the donor) transfers to the other party (the donee) free of charge (Clause 1, Article 572 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). In the context of this article, the donor is the employer, and the donee is the employee. Gift transfer is carried out on the basis of a gift agreement.

! Note: The donation agreement must be writing if the value of the gift exceeds 3,000 rubles, and the donor is entity(Clause 2, Article 574 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). However, it is safer for an employer to conclude a written gift agreement with an employee in any case, regardless of the value of the gift, in order to avoid possible claims from tax authorities and funds.

If gifts are given in bulk, for example, to all employees by March 8, then there is no need to conclude separate agreements with each employee. In this case, it is advisable to draw up a multilateral donation agreement, in which each of the recipients of the gifts will put his signature (Article 154 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).

2. A gift as a reward for work.

The Labor Code of the Russian Federation provides for the right of the employer to reward his employees with valuable gifts as a reward for work (Article 191 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). In this case, the value of the gift acts as part of the remuneration, and the gift is transferred not on the basis of a donation agreement, but on the basis of an employment contract with an employee.

Gifts given to employees as a reward for work, in fact, are production bonuses. About order documentation and confirmation of bonuses to employees you can read in.

Personal income tax from gifts to employees

A gift given to an employee, both in cash and in kind, is recognized as his income and is subject to personal income tax. The obligation to accrue and withhold personal income tax from the employee's income lies with the employer, since he is a tax agent. Wherein not the entire amount of the gift is taxed, but only over 4,000 rubles.(Clause 28, Article 217 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). When applying this limit, you must take into account the total amount of gifts given to a particular employee in cash and in kind during the calendar year.

Example.

  • During 2014, the employee received the first gift in March (for International Women's Day). The cost of the first gift is 2800 rubles. Since the value of the gift is less than 4000 rubles, personal income tax is not charged from it.
  • In September 2014, the employee received a second birthday present in the amount of 3,000 rubles. In this case, it is necessary to withhold personal income tax from the gift amount exceeding 4000 from the beginning of the year, that is, from the amount of 1800 rubles. (2800 + 3000 - 4000).
  • Obviously, all subsequent gifts to this employee, issued in the current calendar year, for example, by the New Year, should be subject to personal income tax in full.

Personal income tax on the value of gifts is calculated in general order: at the rate of 13% if the employee is a resident, at the rate of 30% if the employee is not a Russian tax resident. You can read more about who residents and non-residents are, as well as about the features of calculating personal income tax on income by a non-resident, in.

! Note: the moment of withholding personal income tax and transferring it to the budget depends on in what form the gift was given(Letter of the Federal Tax Service dated 22.08.2014 N SA-4-7 / 16692):

  • if the gift is given to an employee in monetary form, then it is necessary to withhold the tax and transfer it to the budget on the day the gift amount is issued from the cash desk or transferred to the employee’s personal account;
  • if the gift is given in natural form, then you need to withhold and transfer personal income tax on the next day of payment of funds to the employee, for example, on the next day of payment wages. If, after the gift is presented to the employee, no payments will be made until the end of the calendar year, the employer must, no later than one month from the end of the tax period (year), notify the employee in writing, as well as the tax authority at the place of registration, about the impossibility of withholding personal income tax and the unwithheld amount of tax . In this case, a 2-NDFL certificate is filled out for the employee, in which the value “2” must be indicated in the “attribute” field, and submitted to the IFTS no later than January 31 of the next year.

Income received by an employee in the form of gifts is reflected in certificate 2-NDFL in the following order:

  • the amount of each gift (including not exceeding 4,000 rubles) is reflected in the certificate as income with code 2720;
  • the amount of the gift that is not subject to personal income tax (i.e. up to 4000 rubles) is reflected in the certificate as a deduction with code 501.

Insurance contributions from the amount of gifts to employees

To determine if accrued insurance premiums from the amount of gifts to employees or are not accrued, you need to clearly understand what kind of payments these gifts relate to. According to Law No. 212-FZ, payments and other remunerations to employees within the framework of labor relations are subject to insurance premiums (part 1 of article 7) and payments and other remunerations under civil law contracts, the subject of which is the transfer of ownership of property ( to which the donation agreement relates) (part 3, article 7). This means the following:

  • if gifts are given to employees on the basis of labor and collective agreements without drawing up gift agreements, the amount of such gifts subject to insurance premiums;
  • if gifts (including in cash) are given to employees on the basis of written donation agreements, the amount of these gifts not subject to insurance premiums in the PFR, FFOMS, FSS, incl. for insurance against accidents at work and occupational diseases.

Such a conclusion is contained in the letters of the Ministry of Health and Social Development dated February 27, 2010 N 406-19 “Imposition of insurance premiums on individual payments”; dated 05.03.2010 N 473-19 "On the payment of insurance premiums from the cost of gifts to employees."

! Note: The donation agreement should not contain any references to labor and collective agreements, as well as other local acts of the organization. In addition, the donation agreement should not calculate the value of the gift depending on the position of the employee, his salary, labor indicators, or in any other way establish the relationship between the employee’s work and the gift. Otherwise, the inspectors will have every reason to consider gifts as an incentive for work and charge additional insurance premiums.

Accounting for gifts when calculating income tax, USN

The ability to account for the value of gifts to employees in tax expenses directly depends on the purpose and reason for the presentation of such gifts.

1. Gifts to employees are not related to labor activity and production results, for example, gifts for anniversaries, official holidays.

When calculating income tax, the value of such gifts to employees not taken into account in tax expenses (clause 16, article 270 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). Organizations and individual entrepreneurs that apply the simplified tax system with the object of taxation "income - expenses" also cannot include the amount of such gifts to employees in expenses, since this type of expense is not named in the closed list of expenses (clause 1 of article 346.16 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

2. Valuable gifts are given to employees as a reward for their work(Article 191 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

In this case, the value of valuable gifts related to production results and provided for employment contracts, can be taken into account when calculating the tax base for corporate income tax as part of labor costs (Letter of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated 02.06.2014 N 03-03-06/2/26291). By analogy, the cost of such gifts can also be taken into account in the costs of the simplified tax system.

VAT on the transfer of gifts to employees

In accordance with the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, the transfer of ownership of goods on a gratuitous basis is recognized as a sale and is subject to VAT (clause 1, clause 1, article 146 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). Respectively, VAT must be charged on the value of gifts given to employees(Letter of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation dated January 22, 2009 N 03-07-11/16). In doing so, the following must be taken into account:

  • VAT is not charged on the amount of a gift given to an employee in cash.
  • VAT on the value of gifts to employees should be charged by organizations and individual entrepreneurs that apply the general taxation system, as well as those transferred to UTII. Since the transfer of gifts to employees is not carried out as part of the activity transferred to the payment of UTII, this operation is recognized as an object of VAT in accordance with the generally established procedure (clause 4 of article 346.26 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).
  • Organizations and individual entrepreneurs applying the simplified tax system are not VAT payers, therefore they are not required to charge VAT on the cost of gifts to employees (clause 2 of article 346.11 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).
  • The value of a gift given to an employee as an incentive for work is not subject to VAT. This position is held by the judiciary (Resolutions of the FAS Central District dated 06/02/2009 N A62-5424 / 2008, FAS of the Ural District dated 01/19/2010 N F09-10766 / 09-C2).

The tax base for VAT is the purchase price of a gift, the tax is calculated at a rate of 18% (clause 3, article 164 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). In this case, the "input" VAT on the value of the gift can be deducted (if an invoice is available).

Generalization

As a generalization of all of the above, I bring to your attention a table that reflects the relationship between the basis for presenting a gift to an employee (whether the gift is a reward for work or not) and the procedure for calculating taxes and contributions from the amount of the gift.

In accordance with the table above, let's determine what taxes and contributions are subject to, for example, children's gifts given to employees for the New Year. Obviously, such gifts are not a reward for work, however, in order for this to be obvious to the inspectors, it is necessary to draw up a donation agreement. Moreover, in this case it is more convenient to conclude a multilateral donation agreement. The amounts of gifts, including New Year's gifts to the children of employees, are subject to personal income tax. But insurance premiums do not need to be calculated, since such gifts do not apply to payments within the framework of an employment relationship. When calculating income tax and under the simplified tax system, such expenses do not reduce the tax base. VAT must be charged on the value of donated gifts.

Accounting for gifts to employees

I propose to consider accounting for gifts to employees using a specific example.

Svetoch LLC decided to present a gift to its employee Sorokin N.N. on the occasion of his 50th birthday. This is the first gift for an employee since the beginning of the year.

The order of accounting reflection depends on the form in which the gift is transferred to the employee: in kind or in cash.

1. Gifts are Wrist Watch worth 5900 rubles. (including VAT 900 rubles).

Debit Credit Sum Operation
Purchasing a gift
10 60(76, 71) 5 000,00 Received a gift to an employee (at a cost without VAT)
19 60 9 00,00 Reflected "input" VAT
68/VAT 19 900,00 "Input" VAT accepted for deduction
Giving a gift to an employee
73-3 10 5 000,00 Gift given to an employee
91-2 73-3 5 000,00 The cost of a gift given to an employee is written off as other expenses
70 68/NDFL 247,00 Personal income tax withheld from the employee's income in the form of a gift from the amount of wages (including the non-taxable amount of 4,000): (5,900 - 4,000) x 13%
91-2 68/VAT 900,00 VAT charged on the value of a gift given to an employee

2. A gift is a sum of money of 5,900 rubles.

In the example considered, a gift to an employee is not related to labor activity (a gift for an anniversary), therefore, account 73 “Settlements with personnel for other operations” is used for calculations. If a valuable gift is issued as an incentive for work, then account 70 “Payroll calculations” is used for calculations.

So, presenting gifts to employees is, without a doubt, a pleasant procedure for both the donee and the donor. However, for an accountant, it hides a lot of "pitfalls", which, I hope, this article will help you deal with. And in parting, a few recommendations on the topic of gifts for employees. Firstly, if possible, give employees, no matter how trite it sounds, stationery (diaries, pens, ...), computer mice, flash drives, and similar items that can be written off as consumables without spending them as gifts. And secondly, if a gift is supposed to be presented to an employee as a reward for work, then it is better to issue it as, in this case, the inspectors will not have questions about inclusion in tax expenses and not charging VAT.

For each question, several answers are offered, from which it is necessary to choose the most complete and correct one. The total time limit for answering all questions is 30 minutes. At the same time, the response time for each individual question is not limited. The result of the exam is evaluated on a two-point scale "Passed" - "Failed". You must answer at least 12 questions out of 14 correctly to receive a positive mark ("Passed").

To prepare for testing, a new edition of the book "A set of questions for the certification exam on knowledge of the possibilities and features of using the typical configuration "1C: ERP Enterprise Management 2" of the program system "1C: Enterprise 8" with examples of solutions (March 2016)" was released.
