Last year, the rules for numbering adjustments changed. The new wording sounds like this: continuous numbering is provided, where the “adjustment number” for the primary declaration takes the value “0—”; for updated declarations, the number is indicated sequentially (“1—”, “2—”, “3—” and so on). It is not allowed to fill out an adjustment number for an updated declaration without a previously accepted primary declaration.

What does the total amount of tax calculated for payment mean?

Having determined the tax base, you can calculate the personal income tax that needs to be paid to the budget. You need to multiply the number from field 060 by the rate (usually 13%). The resulting value is included in line 070 in 3-NDFL (second section).

Important! The value p.070 shows the calculated value. In fact, the personal income tax transferred may be more (in which case it is returned) or less (in which case the missing amount must be paid additionally).

To calculate personal income tax for additional payment/refund, you must fill out fields from 080 to 140:

• line 080 in 3-NDFL shows how much tax the tax agent has already transferred for the taxpayer himself. The value is taken from page 080 (Appendix 1). For example, this is personal income tax, which is paid by the employer from employee salaries.
• field 090 is filled in only at a personal income tax rate of 35%. Otherwise, set “0”;
• page 100 is filled out by individual entrepreneurs when a trade tax is charged in the region of their activity;
• the value of line 110 in 3-NDFL is taken from line 070 (Appendix 3). These are advances paid by entrepreneurs, lawyers, etc.;
• the amount of fixed advance payments paid by foreign workers under clause 5 of Article 227.1 of the Tax Code is entered in line 120 in 3-NDFL;
• line 130 in 3-NDFL corresponds to the sum of the values ​​on line 130 (Appendix 2). This is the tax that a person paid abroad on income received there. Such amounts are subject to offset in the Russian Federation to avoid double taxation;
• page 140 is filled out by those who are on the patent tax system.

As a result, in line 150 in 3-NDFL they indicate the personal income tax that must be paid additionally to the budget. It is calculated based on the income received and the rate.

To calculate how much personal income tax is subject to refund from the budget (line 060 3-NDFL), you need to use the formula:

.

Important!

The resulting number in field 060 cannot be greater than the sum of fields 080, 090 and 110.

Example 4

Teacher Marina from Example 3 calculated the amount that she can return from the budget (in rubles):

• 220,500 × 13% = 28,665 - calculated personal income tax;
• 288,000 × 13% = 37,440 - actual tax withheld;
• 37,440 – 28,665 = 8,775 — personal income tax to be returned according to the declaration.
