How to calculate personal income tax from salary
According to paragraph 3 of Article 226 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, the amount of tax payment for an individual who is a resident is calculated using the formula:
Tax base * 13%.
This amount is calculated monthly on an accrual basis from the beginning of the calendar year. The total amount will be reduced by the total amount of personal income tax deductions provided.
For example, if a salary of 25,000 rubles was received in a month, then an amount equal to 3,250 rubles will be sent to the Federal Tax Service.
If a company employee is a non-resident, then his income will be subject to a tax rate of 30%.
Income that is not subject to taxation is listed in Article 217 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.
For convenience, you can calculate 2-personal income tax using an online calculator, where you just need to select the tax rate (13% or 30%) and enter the amount of wages due in the line “Amount with personal income tax.”

Sample of filling out a certificate for employees
Taxpayer status has changed: what to do?
An employee's status may change during the year. Therefore, the final status is assigned based on the results of the reporting year. If the status has changed, the rate also changes. Therefore, the amount of income in this case must be recalculated.
For example, an employee has been working in a Russian company as a non-resident since January, and in May he became a resident. Until May, 30% was deducted from his income, and after six months of stay in the country, the rate changed to 13%. Personal income tax from January to May must be recalculated. And what was paid in excess must be returned to the foreign employee.
To do this, a foreigner needs to fill out the 3-NDFL form and, together with papers confirming his new status, go to the fiscal inspectorate.
On a note! It is the accountant's responsibility to check the taxpayer's status each time money is paid. This is especially important if the foreign employee receives money regularly.
Regulations for submitting to the tax office
The regulations for submitting a certificate to the inspection are enshrined in Appendix 4 to the Order of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation dated October 2, 2018 No. ММВ-7-11/ [email protected] It contains the following information:
- who submits the documents;
- how they can be transmitted;
- what is the date of submission of certificates to the Federal Tax Service;
- how to submit certificates on paper;
- how to transmit certificates in electronic format via telecommunication channels.
In what cases is it not necessary to submit
For some employees, the employer does not have to file 2-personal income tax, which is specifically stated in the regulations. So, documents do not need to be sent:
- if the employee received payments not subject to personal income tax. According to Art. 217 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, an employee may be paid income that is not subject to taxation, and, accordingly, if only such accruals are present, then a certificate is not submitted to the tax authorities. Such income can be state benefits (unemployment benefits, child care benefits, maternity benefits), compensation for harm, pensions, benefits in kind, payment for food or accommodation, etc.;
- if an individual in accordance with Art. 227, 228 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation are obliged to calculate and pay personal income tax themselves - individual entrepreneurs, notaries, lawyers, etc.;
- if the individual received payments specified in Art. 226.1 Tax Code of the Russian Federation. This point concerns income from transactions with securities, financial instruments, repo transactions and securities lending.
Recommendation! It is necessary to clearly determine what type of income it is, and whether it is necessary to withhold and transfer tax on it, and, accordingly, submit a 2-NDFL certificate to the tax office. If you have any doubts on this issue, it is better to contact the hotline in order to take action in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation and not receive a fine.
How to find the code number
The numeric code has 3 digits. To avoid mistakes, you will need:
- open OKSM;
- find by name the country of citizenship of the taxpayer (the person about whose income you need to draw up a document);
- select a code by country name;
- enter it in the appropriate field of the form.
Most programs that offer to fill out 2-personal income tax make it possible to automatically select the desired code from a directory by country name. Those who fill out certificates manually will have to look for the number in the classifier themselves.
Additional points
There are several additional points regarding 2-NDFL:
- the validity period of the deduction certificate is 3 years, since it is during this period that the taxpayer can exercise his right to the benefit;
- the validity period of the loan certificate is set by the bank itself, and, as a rule, this period is no more than six months;
- if the employee does not have taxable income, he does not need to submit a certificate to the tax office. In addition, such an employee will not be able to receive a deduction;
- certificate of income of an individual 2-NDFL - the main document reflecting final information on income and deductions for a specific employee.
To find out what the codes in the 2-NDFL certificate mean and in general what codes are present in the 2-NDFL certificate, see the link.
2-NDFL for tax deduction
To receive a deduction through the tax office, for example, property or social, you need to take 2-NDFL from the employer and submit it to the tax authorities. Information from this document is entered into the 3-NDFL declaration indicating the employing organization, its tax identification number and checkpoint, as well as monthly information about income. In addition, data on deductions provided directly by the employer must also be reflected in the declaration for the correct calculation of personal income tax for refund.
The tax office compares the information from the submitted document with information previously received from the employer and identifies any inaccuracies or establishes the accuracy of the document.
Attention! Tax authorities do not accept a paper declaration unless 2-NDFL is attached to it, and this must be the original document, and not a copy. If a taxpayer submits an electronic calculation through his personal account on the Federal Tax Service website, then, as a rule, the 2-NDFL certificate is uploaded automatically when the employer submits it in accordance with the submission deadlines. In this case, tax authorities may not request 2-NDFL from the person himself.
Why do you need 2-NDFL when applying for another job?
When applying for a new job, it is necessary to submit 2-NDFL from the previous place to the accounting department, and at the same time it must be formed for the calendar year, that is, from the beginning of the year until the employee’s dismissal.
The need to transfer the document is due to the fact that this information is needed to provide a person with standard deductions for himself or for children, social or property deductions, if the person has such a right. According to Art. 218 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, standard deductions are provided to the employee until his total income for the calendar year reaches 350 thousand rubles. When the specified limit is reached, no deduction is provided, and therefore the accountant needs to know exactly what payments and in what amount the employee received at his previous job.
If a person does not claim deductions, then 2-NDFL does not need to be submitted to the accounting department at the new location.
2-NDFL and credit
When receiving a loan, many banks require official confirmation of income - either 2-NDFL, or a certificate in the form of the credit institution itself. If it is necessary to submit 2-NDFL, then it is ordered from the accounting department in the usual manner, and there is no need to enter any additional information into it, since it is a unified accounting register.
Based on the information from the certificate, the loan officer calculates the likely amount of the loan provided and also assesses the client’s solvency. At the same time, banks check and analyze the accuracy of the information contained in the certificate using the following methods:
- clarify information about the organization through official sources of information. For example, to determine whether a given organization really exists, you can request an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, which is provided free of charge to any user;
- information regarding the employee is checked, that is, his full name, passport details, TIN;
- Information related to income reflected on certificates is especially carefully checked and analyzed. In this case, the decoding of income codes in the 2-NDFL certificate is taken into account, allowing you to understand exactly what payments the employee received from the employer. Information related to a sharp increase or decrease in wages is subject to careful analysis, and then an employee of a credit institution may ask for an explanation from the employer as to what is causing such a change in wages;
- banks have the opportunity to request information from inspection authorities and check certificates for the accuracy of the information entered. Employees submit an official request, to which they also receive an official response from the tax service;
- To confirm the amounts specified in 2-NDFL, banks can request from the organization other accounting registers for payroll, for example, pay slips, personal accounts, the availability of writs of execution for the employee, etc.
Common mistakes when filling out
Experts identify the following most common mistakes:
- erroneous indication of the income code in the 2-NDFL certificate. The accountant may make a mistake and assign the wrong number to the code, which will result in an incorrect accrual position being indicated in the certificate;
- for one month, the salary can be divided into two amounts. This error occurs because the employer is obliged to pay the employee at least 2 times a month (advance and basic salary). However, both of these amounts must be summed up and entered as a total for each month;
- errors in the OKTMO organization. If the employer has divisions, then they are assigned their own OKTMO numbers. The certificates must indicate the OKTMO corresponding to the specific department in which the employee works;
- errors in reflecting the amounts of remuneration under GPC agreements. Income must be reported in the month in which it was actually paid, not accrued. This point is one of the main differences between employment contracts and GPC;
- errors in indicating the basic details of the organization or employee, for example, change of name or surname, incorrect TIN, change of passport data.
Important! Identified errors can be corrected by the employer by submitting corrective reports, but this must be done before the tax service checks, so as not to receive a fine.
Common mistakes when filling out
Errors when filling out a document on the income of an individual may lead to inspectors considering the certificate invalid.
The most common mistakes tax inspectors recognize are:
- confusion of income and deduction codes;
- the tax base is calculated incorrectly;
- indication of the monthly salary in terms of two amounts (advance payment and final payment) instead of the total amount;
- errors when filling out personal information (especially passport data);
- lack of indication or incorrect definition of the OKTMO code.
All errors can be corrected and a repeated certificate with corrections can be sent to the Federal Tax Service department. However, this opportunity will be “free” only if you search for the error yourself.
If shortcomings are identified by tax officials, a fine of 500 rubles ( clause 1 of Article 126.1 of the Tax Code of Russia ).
Timely provision of documents on the income of individuals who are employees of the company is the direct responsibility of the employer. It is important to have a responsible attitude towards compliance with the requirements of the law, then penalties will not be applied.
