Taxation of personal income tax on trust management of securities. Taxation is subject to income directly paid to the trustees of the founders of the administration under the contract of trust management of property Procedure for submitting a report
For income received by an individual under a trust management agreement under a deposit agreement, a trust manager is recognized as a tax agent. Taxation of personal income tax is carried out without taking into account the specifics of determining the tax base established by Art. 214.2 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, and the rules on exemption from taxation of interest on deposits in banks, provided for in paragraph 27 of Art. 217 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. Rationale: Features of determining the tax base for personal income tax when receiving income in the form of interest received on deposits in banks are established by Art. 214.2 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. Paragraph 27 of Art. 217 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation provides for grounds for exemption from taxation of income in the form of interest received by taxpayers on deposits in banks located in the territory of the Russian Federation. In accordance with paragraphs. "b" clause 4.13 of Instructions of the Bank of Russia dated May 30, 2014 N 153-I "On opening and closing bank accounts, deposits (deposits), deposit accounts" the bank must have an agreement on the basis of which trust management is carried out. According to Art. 1012 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the transfer of property to trust management does not entail the transfer of ownership of it to the trustee. At the same time, the trust manager makes transactions with the property transferred to trust management on his own behalf, indicating that he acts as such a manager. It follows from the foregoing that the deposit agreement is concluded not by an individual - the founder of the trust management, but by the trustee on his own behalf, although at the expense of the trustee's funds. Since an individual does not enter into a deposit agreement with the bank, in the situation under consideration, the individual receives not interest income on deposits with the bank, but income from trust management from the trustee. According to paragraph 1 of Art. 226 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, in particular, a Russian organization is recognized as a tax agent, from which or as a result of relations with which the taxpayer received income. Thus, when paying individuals income from trust management, a trustee is recognized as a tax agent. A similar position is reflected in the Letters of the Ministry of Finance of Russia of June 25, 2015 N 03-04-06 / 36705, of October 9, 2015 N 03-04-06 / 57967. Given the above, the recipient of income in the form of interest under a deposit agreement concluded by a trustee is recognized as an individual - the founder of the management, while the income received is considered as income from trust management. At the same time, personal income tax is withheld from such income when it is paid by the trustee to an individual (clause 1, clause 1, article 223 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).
Is a trustee recognized as a tax agent for personal income tax in respect of interest received by a client - an individual under a deposit agreement, if the deposit agreement is concluded by an organization - a trustee with a bank within the framework of trust management? What is the procedure for taxation of personal income tax in this case?
A Russian organization is recognized as a tax agent for income tax upon payment of:
- dividends to Russian organizations (clause 3, article 275 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation) and foreign organizations that have permanent representative offices in Russia (clause 3 of article 275, clause 6 of article 282.1 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation);
- interest on state and municipal securities to Russian organizations and foreign organizations that have permanent establishments in Russia (with some exceptions) (clause 5, article 286 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation);
- to foreign organizations that have permanent representative offices in Russia, income not related to the activities of these representative offices (clause 4 of article 286, subclause 1 of clause 4 of article 282, clause 6 of article 282.1 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation);
- certain incomes to foreign organizations that do not have permanent representative offices in Russia (clause 1, article 309, clause 1, article 310 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).
Situation: is it necessary to act as a tax agent for income tax? A Russian organization applying the general taxation system pays dividends to a Russian organization on simplified taxation.
Yes need.
Organizations applying the simplified system are recognized as payers of income tax on the dividends due to them (paragraph 1, clause 2, article 346.11 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). If the source of payment of dividends is a Russian organization that applies the general taxation system, it is recognized as a tax agent (clause 3, article 275 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). When paying income to taxpayers, tax agents are required to withhold from them the taxes provided for by law and transfer them to the budget (subclause 1, clause 3, article 24 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).
Thus, when paying dividends to a Russian organization applying simplified taxation, a Russian organization applying the general taxation system must act as a tax agent for income tax. Similar explanations are given in the letter of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated September 30, 2013 No. 03-11-11/40267.
Situation: is it necessary to act as a tax agent for income tax? The Russian organization pays dividends to the founder, which is the state (subject of the Russian Federation, municipality).
No, it doesn `t need.
An organization - tax agent must withhold income tax on dividends if its founder (participant) - the recipient of dividends is a taxpayer (clause 1, article 24, article 275 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).
The state, constituent entities of the Russian Federation, municipalities are public entities, whose interests (including control over the payment and transfer of dividends from subsidiaries to the budgets) are authorized by individual state authorities and local governments. This follows from the provisions of Article 124 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. One of the administrators of dividends due to the Russian Federation and its constituent entities is the Federal Property Management Agency and its territorial departments (Article 4 of the Law of December 2, 2013 No. 349-FZ, Appendix 7 to the instructions approved by Order of the Ministry of Finance of Russia of July 1, 2013 No. 65n, p. 5.28, 5.31 of the Regulations, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of June 5, 2008 No. 432). Despite the fact that income in the form of dividends is credited to the budgets through the structures of the Federal Property Management Agency, the actual recipient of these incomes is the public legal entities themselves.
Tax agents, as well as taxpayers, submit income tax returns to the IFTS at their location no later than 28 calendar days from the end of the corresponding quarter (clause 4, article 289 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).
Tax agents for income tax are those organizations that pay income subject to withholding tax to foreign companies.
The provisions of Article 24 of Part 1 of the Tax Code determine the procedure for recognizing a taxpayer as a tax agent, as well as his rights and obligations.
Tax agents are persons who, in accordance with the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, are responsible for:

Taxation of personal income tax on trust management of securities
Currently, one of the ways to manage securities is to transfer them to trust management. Note that this type of relationship is very convenient if the owner himself does not have sufficient qualifications and competence to effectively manage his securities. In this case, he resorts to the help of a specialist - he trusts the management of securities.
In this article, we will talk about the features of personal income tax taxation of operations for the trust management of securities.
Legal regulation of trust management of property.
The legal framework for trust management of property is defined in Chapter 53 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).
According to paragraph 1 of Article 1012 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, under a property trust management agreement, one party (the founder of the management) transfers the property to the other party (the trustee) for a certain period of time in trust management, and the other party undertakes to manage this property in the interests of the founder of the management or the person specified by him ( beneficiary).
The founder of the management is the party that owns the property (or has property rights) and which transfers them (property and rights) to trust management.
Trustee - a party to whom property is transferred and who manages it in the interests of the founder of the management or the beneficiary. The trustee may be an individual entrepreneur or a commercial organization, with the exception of a unitary enterprise.
The law provides for another side of the relationship within the framework of trust management - this is the beneficiary, in whose interests the trust management is carried out. In the vast majority of cases, the founder of the management acts as a beneficiary.
The objects of trust management can be various types of property and property rights.
Moreover, in accordance with paragraph 2 of Article 1013 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, money cannot be independent objects of trust management, except for cases established by law. For example, the possibility of transferring funds into trust management for investing in securities is provided by Article 5 of the Federal Law of April 22, 1996 No. 39-FZ "On the Securities Market" (hereinafter - Law No. 39-FZ) and Article 5 of the Federal Law of 2 December 1990 No. 395-1 "On banks and banking activities".

The manager is entitled to the remuneration provided for by the trust management agreement, as well as to reimbursement of the necessary expenses incurred by him in the course of managing securities in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation (clause 2.8 of Procedure No. 07-37/pz-n).
Clause 2.9 of Order No. 07-37/pz-n determines that the manager is obliged to separate the securities and funds of the founder of the management, which are in trust management, as well as received by the manager in the process of managing securities, from the property of the manager and the property of the founder of the management transferred to the manager in connection with their other activities.

Personal income tax on trust
securities management
Features of determining the tax base, calculation and payment of tax on income from operations with securities are provided for in Article 214.1 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation (hereinafter - the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).
Paragraph 4 of clause 7 of Article 214.1 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation defines the features of recognition of income from operations with securities carried out by trustees.
Income from transactions with securities circulating and not circulating on the organized securities market, carried out by a trustee (except for a management company that carries out trust management of property constituting a unit investment fund) in favor of a beneficiary - an individual, are included in the income of the beneficiary from operations, listed in subparagraphs 1 - 4 of paragraph 1 of Article 214.1 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, respectively.
In accordance with paragraph 10 of Article 214.1 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, expenses on operations with securities are recognized as documented and actually incurred by the taxpayer expenses related to the acquisition, sale, storage and redemption of securities.
The tax base for transactions with securities carried out by a trustee is determined in the manner prescribed by paragraphs 6-15 of Article 214.1 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, taking into account the requirements of paragraph 17 of Article 214.1 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.
In accordance with paragraph 17 of Article 214.1 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, the amounts paid under the trust management agreement to the trustee in the form of remuneration and compensation for expenses incurred by him on transactions with securities are accounted for as expenses that reduce income from the relevant transactions (letter of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated February 16, 2015 No. 03-04-06/6856). At the same time, if the founder of the trust management is not a beneficiary under the trust management agreement, then such expenses are accepted when calculating the financial result only from the beneficiary.
If the trust management agreement provides for several beneficiaries, then the distribution between them of income from operations with securities carried out by the trust manager in favor of the beneficiary is carried out based on the terms of the trust management agreement.
If, in the course of trust management, transactions are made with securities circulating and (or) not circulating on the organized securities market, as well as if other types of income arise in the process of trust management (including income in the form of dividends, interest) , the tax base is determined separately for transactions with securities circulating or not circulating on the organized securities market, and for each type of income, taking into account the provisions of Article 214.1 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. At the same time, expenses that cannot be directly attributed to a decrease in income from transactions with securities circulating or not circulating on the organized securities market, or to a decrease in the corresponding type of income, are distributed in proportion to the share of each type of income.
A negative financial result on individual transactions with securities carried out by a trustee in a tax period reduces the financial result on the totality of the corresponding transactions. In this case, the financial result is determined separately for transactions with securities circulating on the organized securities market and for transactions with securities not circulating on the organized securities market.
The tax base for transactions with securities, by virtue of paragraph 20 of Article 214.1 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, is determined by the tax agent at the end of the tax period, unless otherwise provided by the said article or Article 226.1 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, which contains a list of persons recognized as tax agents for trust management of securities.
The issue of the performance by a trustee of the functions of a tax agent for personal income tax when paying income on securities is considered in the letter of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated March 13, 2015 No. 03-04-06 / 69529. The letter notes that, in accordance with subparagraph 2 of paragraph 2 of Article 226.1 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, a trustee in respect of income paid to a taxpayer on securities issued by Russian organizations, the rights to which are taken into account as of the date specified in the decision on the payment (declaration) of income, is recognized as a tax agent on securities, on the personal account or depo account of this trustee, if this trustee is a professional participant in the securities market as of the date of acquisition of the securities specified in this subparagraph.
By virtue of paragraph 7 of Article 226.1 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, the calculation and payment of the amount of tax is carried out by the tax agent when carrying out transactions with securities and transactions with financial instruments of futures transactions in the manner established by Chapter 23 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, within the following terms:
- at the end of the tax period;
- before the end of the tax period;
- until the expiration of the contract in favor of the individual.
In accordance with paragraph 5 of clause 7 of Article 226.1 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, the calculation and payment of the amount of tax in respect of income from securities is carried out by a tax agent when making payments of such income in favor of an individual in the manner established by this chapter of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.
Based on the above provisions of Article 226.1 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, when paying income on securities, the amount of tax payable is calculated and withheld by the tax agent on the date of payment of such income.
According to paragraph 2 of clause 10 of Article 226.1 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, the payment of funds for the purposes of this article means the payment by a tax agent of cash to a taxpayer or a third party at the request of the taxpayer, as well as the transfer of funds to the bank account of the taxpayer or to the account of a third party at the request of the taxpayer.
