"What are we talking about": a tax for self -employed

After several years of discussion , the Ministry of Finance decided to introduce a tax for self -employed. In simple language, this is a tax for nannies, tutors, housekeepers, builders, designers, confectioners, photographers, and apartments - for all those whom we pay not through the cashier.

According to the same Ministry of Finance, now 30% of the cash turnover passes by the state treasury. To return to the treasury at least part of these 30% shadow turnover, they developed a number of bills that State Duma deputies successfully adopted in the first reading.

Andrei Makarov, Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Budget and Taxes, called this initiative the “Authority Law”. According to the initiator of the innovation, people are simply afraid to reveal their income, but now they will be able to enter the legal field and feel protected and almost happy. As in that advertising - pay taxes and sleep calmly.

“This is the task that these 30 million people who have today have, but from the point of view of the economy, only regions pay for them, as for the non -working population, to take them out of the shadows,” said Andrei Makarov.

A self -employed citizen does not need to go to the tax, write statements. It is enough to establish a special application “My tax”, on which they have already allocated money and developed, although the law has not yet been adopted. In this application, it is necessary to celebrate your income. For example, on November 1, I received 7.5 thousand rubles, and on November 2 - 5 thousand rubles. These numbers will automatically go to the Federal Tax Service. And once a month, the service will send messages - how much is due to you. You can pay for the tax electronically.

Tax rates for self -employed are - 4%if the income is received from an individual and 6%, if you work on a legal entity. The contribution for medical insurance in the new tax has already been included, but the tax payers will be exempted from mandatory pension contributions. This means that in old age, self -employed insurance pension will not receive, if I do not independently make deductions to the Pension Fund. Those who will not indicate their income are facing a fine.

“We are well aware that most people who will apply to this law do not pay taxes, and are not going to pay them. They live like this and proceed from the fact that the state will not find us anyway, will not see, so it is much easier not to pay taxes. Anyway, nothing will happen for it. We suggest that if a person is found in such an income, but he has not registered and does not pay. He pays a fine in the amount of the income that he received. That is, a choice, pay 4% or pay all the income that you received, ” - the chairman of the State Duma Committee on Budget and Taxes Andrei Makarov

Here is such a radical measure: you will not pay - we will take everything at once. This can hardly be considered good motivation. However, the deputies assure that people themselves were waiting for a new tax and perceive it positively.

“The most common category is a decrete or, after a decree, bakes marshmallows. Earns approximately 70 thousand rubles. Her marshmallows or chak-chak are popular, spreads through Instagram. And there are a lot of such people. And the mood is positive, ”said the State Duma deputy Ayrat Farrakhov.

If we recall about the size of maternity and about the prices of children's goods, it becomes obvious why women are trying to find additional income on maternity leave. By the way, in fact, in society the initiative was greeted to put it mildly without enthusiasm.

“If these idiots introduce a tax for self -employed, several million people will leave the country. And they will work somewhere there. Because there they will definitely not be deceived with a pension in their old age, ”one of the users on the network writes.

How exactly will be monitored financial revenues remains a big question. According to the authors of the bill, to understand who, as much as he received and conceived, is now not difficult. Banks will perform this function as idea. But as the banks will understand, they came for money for the goods or a friend returned the debt is unknown.

“The transfer of information on the income of self -employed in the Federal Tax Service laid the control of the information on the banks. And the latter can recognize the income of any suspicious operations of their customers. For example, if someone often receives money to the account from different people, then the bank will inform the Federal Tax Service in order not to run into a fine. Operations on the card of such a client will be blocked, and he will have to explain the origin of the money, ”said Andrei Tsibulsky, lawyer for tax issues.

A number of experts believe that in the end the law will work, but not as the deputies expect. The business will take this opportunity to reduce taxes for itself. So some employees will be transferred from the state to the category of self -employed, and small individual entrepreneurs will be eliminated.

“He will work, but he will not work due to the fact that people themselves will voluntarily go. Firstly, this is a forced performance that will help make a banking system. The second, in the same tax, the design of effective execution is spelled out. This is an individual entrepreneur who do not have workers can go there. And in fact, we will see the statistics of the beautiful self -employed, ”said the tax expert Igor Artemyev.

It turns out that the number of self -employed can and will grow, and the number of tax deductions on the contrary will decrease. Those for whom this tax is invented will be left, no matter what.

“There are three forms that will be used. The first is the transition to cash, the second is barter operations, the third is the use of surrogate payments. Well, the fourth is the departure to the so -called cryptocurrencies. But for most citizens, this, of course, will be the first form. Cash and the use of barter. I can only shrug. So short -sighted inability to manage the economy. Thanks to the Sreder truth of our citizens that they can give an adequate response to the inadequate actions of the government, ”said Dmitry Potapenko, the Ombudsman to protect the rights of microbusiness and self -employed citizens.

The fact that the law will eventually accept doubts now. It is expected that they will do this before the end of this year. And while in test mode he will work in Moscow, Moscow and Kaluga regions, as well as in the Republic of Tatarstan. And then the turn will reach other regions.
