Each employer is required to complete and submit an income tax calculation in form 6-NDFL at the end of the 3rd quarter. This is a relatively new report, which has been submitted to the Federal Tax Service since the 1st quarter of 2016.
One of the reporting periods for submitting 6-NDFL is a period of 9 months, after which it is necessary to fill out the calculation. What filling features are there?
You can fill out the form 9 months in advance below. There is also a current calculation form for downloading.
Who submits the 6-NDFL report in 2020?
The 6-NDFL calculation is submitted by organizations and individual entrepreneurs who are tax agents, that is, they pay income to employees or other individuals. Form 6-NDFL is submitted by organizations and individual entrepreneurs along with 2-NDFL.
If an organization has separate divisions that employ employees, then you need to fill out the 6-NDFL calculation for each of them.
DO YOU NEED TO SUBMIT THE ZERO CALCULATION OF 6-NDFL IN 2021?
Despite the clarifications of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation:
- letter of the Federal Tax Service dated 05/04/16 No. BS-4-11/7928;
- letter of the Federal Tax Service dated March 23, 2016 No. BS-4-11/4901.
Which say that if an organization or individual entrepreneur does not pay income to individuals, then there is no need to submit a calculation, very often the Federal Tax Service does not take these letters into account and fines, as well as block current accounts, individual entrepreneurs and organizations that have not submitted a zero report. Therefore, we advise, in order to avoid unnecessary problems , to provide zero calculations of 6-NDFL within the established time frame , if you had accruals and payments of income to employees in at least one of the reporting periods.
Let us remind you that 2-NDFL is filled out for each individual entrepreneur or company employee separately, and 6-NDFL is filled out for all employees once a quarter.
Deadlines for submitting 6-NDFL in 2021
The structures involved in the development of reporting forms are thinking about changing the deadlines for submitting forms 6-NDFL and 2-NDFL, and they plan to combine these two forms into one. We monitor updated information and provide it to our readers in a timely manner.
Attention! The deadlines for submitting the 6-NDFL report in 2020 differ from the deadlines in 2021. Firstly, the deadline for submitting 6-NDFL for the year has been postponed. Now the annual report must be submitted a month earlier than in previous years. In addition, taking into account some other weekend dates, according to the 2021 production calendar, the deadlines for submitting quarterly reports are also slightly different:
- For 12 months of 2021 - no later than March 2, 2021.
- For the first quarter of 2021 - no later than April 30, 2021.
- For 6 months of 2021 - no later than July 31, 2021.
- For 9 months of 2021 - no later than November 2, 2021.
- For 12 months of 2021 - no later than March 1, 2021 (together with 2-personal income tax).
Date of submission of 6-NDFL in 2021
The date of submission of the 6-NDFL report sent electronically is considered the date of receipt of the receipt, which confirms the date of dispatch. If the receipt is received before 24.00 of the last report of the day, the deadline for submitting the report is considered not to have been violated.
The date of sending the 6-NDFL report by mail is considered to be the date stamped by the postal worker on the inventory of the attachment.
The date of sending the 6-NDFL report personally or through a representative directly to the tax authority is the date stamped on your copy of the report by the tax inspector.
By what date is it due at the end of the 3rd quarter - submission deadline
In accordance with the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, for reporting periods, form 6-NDFL is submitted no later than the last day of the month following the period.
The 9-month period is an accounting period, so the calculation form must be submitted no later than the last day of October - the deadline for submission is October 31, 2021.
This day falls on Wednesday, a working day, so the deadline will not be transferred anywhere.

note
If you, as a tax agent, perform an operation in one reporting period and complete it in another reporting period, then this operation must be reflected in the reporting period in which it was completed.
For example:
1. Provided that the salary for September 2021 was issued on October 5, 2021, in Section 1 of the Calculation for 9 months of 2021, the advance and salary amounts will be reflected, but in Section 2 of form 6-NDFL they do not need to be reflected, because, Although the tax calculation date will fall in the 3rd quarter of 2021, the tax will actually be withheld only in October 2021, i.e. in the 4th quarter. In this case, between the indicators of lines 040 “Amount of calculated tax” and 070 “Amount of withheld tax” of Section 1 there will be a difference in the amount of personal income tax calculated but not withheld as of September 30, 2020.
2. You need to calculate 6-NDFL for the twelve months of 2020. According to your local regulations, you will pay wages for December 2021 to employees on January 10, 2021. Accordingly, transfer personal income tax on January 10 or 11, 2021. Despite the fact that this is a salary for 2021, in the calculation of 6-NDFL for 12 months of 2021, data on income and personal income tax are not included, since the payment and transfer of personal income tax will be made in another reporting period. This data must be included in the calculation of 6-NDFL for the 1st quarter of 2021.
Another important point: the date of withholding tax may differ from the date of transfer of personal income tax. This is due to the fact that the deadlines for paying personal income tax for different incomes differ:
- according to paragraph 6 of Article 226 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, tax agents are required to transfer the amounts of calculated and withheld tax no later than the day following the day the income is paid to the taxpayer;
- When paying temporary disability benefits (including benefits for caring for a sick child), as well as paying vacation pay, tax agents are required to transfer the amounts of calculated and withheld tax no later than the last day of the month in which the above payments were made.
For example:
The employee received vacation pay on December 11, 2021, in this case the employer is obliged to pay personal income tax to the budget no later than December 31, 2020 and reflect this date in form 6-NDFL for 2021:
Section 1
- Column 20 - indicate the total amount of vacation pay paid;
- columns 040 and 070 – indicate the total amount of tax.
Section 2
- columns 100 and 110 - indicate the actual payment dates;
- column 120 - indicate the date of payment of personal income tax on vacation pay;
- column 130 - indicate the amount of accrued vacation pay;
- Column 140 – indicate the amount of personal income tax withheld.
When paying a premium, 6-NDFL is filled out in the following order:
The date of receipt of income in the form of bonuses is considered to be the last day of the month (as well as when paying vacation pay). Therefore, if the order for the payment of bonuses is dated the 20th, then in column 100 of Section 2 it is necessary to indicate the date 30 or 31 depending on the number of days in the month, and in line 110 reflect the date of actual payment of the bonus, for example, 06/25/2020.
Features of filling out 6-NDFL when paying sick leave benefits
Form 6-NDFL reflects only payments subject to taxation. Maternity benefits are not subject to personal income tax, so they are not included in form 6-NDFL.
When paying temporary disability benefits:
- in columns 100, 110 the day of actual payment of sick leave is indicated;
- in column 120 - the day the tax is paid, usually the final day of the month;
- column 130 displays the total amount of hospital payments (including tax);
- in column 140 - the amount of tax on the employee’s income.
Where to get the document form
The type of form in question should only be submitted to the main tax office. There is no need to send documents to various departmental inspections. The free document itself can be obtained using different methods:
- by turning to the official portal of the Federal Tax Service;
- downloaded from other sources on the Internet.
It is important to remember that the form must be drawn up correctly and not differ from that regulated by law. Otherwise, the tax authorities may simply not accept it, thereby delaying the submission deadline and requiring clarification. There is no need to allow similar situations to happen to avoid wasting time.

2. You need to calculate 6-NDFL for the twelve months of 2020. According to your local regulations, you will pay wages for December 2021 to employees on January 10, 2021. Accordingly, transfer personal income tax on January 10 or 11, 2021. Despite the fact that this is a salary for 2021, in the calculation of 6-NDFL for 12 months of 2021, data on income and personal income tax are not included, since the payment and transfer of personal income tax will be made in another reporting period. This data must be included in the calculation of 6-NDFL for the 1st quarter of 2021.
