Contract for free performance of work (provision of services)

Author of the article: Anastasia Ivanova Last modified: January 2021 17898

For individuals, the Civil Code provides for the possibility of an oral agreement. Enterprises and organizations are required by law to enter into contracts exclusively in writing. Gratuitous transactions between legal entities are a fairly common form of agreement. Let's look at specific examples of such transactions and the features of their conclusion.

Information for the document

The procedure and conditions for concluding an agreement for the provision of services free of charge are not established by the current legislation of the Russian Federation. Compensation and gratuitousness of concluded contracts are stipulated in Art. 423 Civil Code of the Russian Federation.

Features of document preparation

  1. Completed sample order
  2. Contents of the agreement
  3. Responsibility of the parties
  4. Change and termination of the contract

Contents of the agreement

According to paragraph 2 of Art. 423 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, an agreement is recognized as gratuitous if the party receiving services or work under this agreement does not make payment or counter-provision of services to the other party.

As a rule, such agreements are concluded by charitable organizations, foundations and institutions whose activities are not related to making a profit. Since the contract is concluded in writing, the law has requirements for its content:

  • The subject of the contract is its essential condition - Art. 432 Civil Code of the Russian Federation
  • Since the gratuitous contract does not provide for payment, the contract must reflect the gratuitousness of the services provided.
  • Parties to the contract. The legislation does not directly prohibit the conclusion of this type of agreement between commercial enterprises, but the very type of their activity provides for the receipt of benefits. The conclusion of an agreement between individuals or an individual and a legal entity is not limited in any way.
  • Date and place of conclusion of the contract. If the contract does not indicate the place of its conclusion, then it is considered to be concluded at the place of residence of the person who sent the offer. If services are provided by a legal entity, then at the place of its registration - Art. 444 Civil Code of the Russian Federation.
  • Signatures of the parties with transcripts.
  • Obligations of the parties, namely the obligation to perform the services or work provided within the time period specified in the contract.

Important! Since a gratuitous contract cannot be recognized as a contract, it is advisable to reflect in the contract the consequences of violating the deadline for fulfilling the contract.

Responsibility of the parties

Despite the fact that the agreement for the gratuitous provision of services does not provide for payment or any other remuneration for its execution, the parties bear responsibility under the law for improper fulfillment of obligations - Chapter 25 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.

According to Art. 401 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, liability for failure to fulfill obligations under a contract occurs only if there is guilt or intent of the person who failed to fulfill the contract. The burden of proving the absence of guilt, in this case, rests with the offender. And an agreement concluded in advance regarding the absence of violation is considered void.

Since the contract is concluded free of charge, payment of a penalty or compensation for damages in case of non-fulfillment is not provided, however, the party that has not fulfilled the obligation is not exempt from fulfilling it in kind - Art. 396 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.

Change and termination of the contract

Article 450 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation provides the grounds on which an agreement can be amended and terminated:

  • By agreement of the parties.
  • At the request of one of the parties, the contract is changed or terminated only by a court decision.

A court decision to change the terms of the contract or terminate it can be made only if there are significant violations of the contract by one of the parties, as well as in other cases provided for by current legislation for certain types of contracts.

The consequences of changing and terminating the contract are listed in Art. 453 Civil Code of the Russian Federation:

  • Changing the contract entails changing the obligations under it.
  • Termination of the contract entails the termination of obligations, unless otherwise provided by legislative acts or follows from the essence of the concluded agreement.
  • The term for changing or terminating obligations is considered to be the period by which the agreement to change or terminate the contract was signed.

The legislation provides for compensation for losses if a change or termination of the contract entails their occurrence.

Accounting for gratuitous transfers in accounting

The gratuitous acceptance of the property of a legal entity must necessarily be reflected in the accounting documentation.

The transferred item is accepted as a fixed asset at its original cost. The initial cost is defined as the market value on the day of acceptance for accounting, including the amounts spent on delivery of the asset, its registration, bringing it into a condition suitable for use, and other costs.

The following entries must be made:

  • enter the value of assets in debit 08, account 98 “Gratuitous receipts”;
  • expenses spent on their acceptance, according to debit 08, account 60 “Related expenses”.

Addresses and details of the parties

Gift or donation?

Let us now consider an aspect that reflects the differences between the two main procedures involving the gratuitous transfer of property - donation and donation. In order to understand the difference between the two noted legal categories, it would be advisable to refer to the provisions of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. According to the code, a gift agreement is a somewhat broader concept than a transaction fixing a donation. What does this mean?

According to the gift agreement, one of the parties to the legal relationship gratuitously transfers (or, alternatively, undertakes to transfer) another certain type of property. The key feature of such a deal is gratuitousness. That is, the owner of the property does not receive any counter-representations from the recipient.

At the same time, the gratuitous transfer of property does not at all exclude the scenario in which the donor establishes some restrictions on the use of the property by the new owner. Among these, as some lawyers note, there may be a requirement reflecting the use of property exclusively for generally beneficial, socially oriented purposes. In this case, the gratuitous transfer of property will most likely be recognized as a donation.

Legal relations in which a donation is considered the basis of a transaction are not typical for business. Basically, through such communications, state or municipal property is transferred in favor of relevant non-profit organizations. What is the reason for the fact that such transactions are the prerogative of structures not involved in the business?

Please clarify whether it is possible to use this sample as a “template” for drawing up an agreement for the provision of medical services (dental care within the framework of compulsory medical insurance - free of charge) under the following conditions:

-the institution has a licensed dentistry office, but no specialists;

-the service in this institution was previously licensed, but due to the lack of a specialist, there is a possibility of termination of the license;

- there is a dental clinic in the city and its specialists are ready to provide services in this office.

The agreement is necessary to preserve the cabinet. Perhaps you can offer other options for drawing up the contract - I will be very grateful!

    Tax calculation

    The calculation of taxes on property received free of charge depends, first of all, on the taxation regime in the company. That is, under the general system the rate is 20%. With the simplified tax system there are 2 options. The simplest formula applies if the company operates under a scheme where 6% is paid on any type of revenue, including non-operating income.

    If an entrepreneur uses a scheme in which 15% is paid on the difference between revenue and expenses, then the formula is somewhat more complicated. In this case, the value of the property received free of charge is summed up with other types of revenue. Next, officially confirmed expenses are subtracted from the resulting figure. The tax is then calculated based on a rate of 15%.

    If an organization receives property free of charge, then the assessment of the corresponding type of non-operating income is made on the basis of data on market prices for such assets. The provisions relevant to this procedure are prescribed in the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. In some cases, information on prices must be documented by the taxpayer (as an option when contacting independent experts for the purpose of conducting an assessment).

    Remember just 2 words:

    And add Contract-Yurist.Ru to your bookmarks (Ctrl+D).

    You will still need it!

    Nuances of distribution of shares

    A fundamentally important criterion is that the donor must have the above-mentioned share in the ownership of the company alone. That is, for example, if one person owns 30% of the company, another - 40%, and they jointly own, for example, a truck crane, then it is nevertheless impossible to give it to your company without taxation. If they draw up the appropriate gift agreement, they will have to pay the income tax provided for in Article 250 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. At least, such a position, as lawyers note, is considered generally accepted in the structures of the Federal Tax Service of Russia.
