In all other cases (including when on a business trip or vacation abroad), the period of stay abroad is not included in the number of days of stay in Russia.

This procedure follows from paragraph 2 of Article 207 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. This conclusion is also confirmed by the Russian Ministry of Finance in a letter dated July 26, 2007 No. 03-04-06-01/268.

An example of determining a person’s tax status (resident or non-resident) for personal income tax purposes. During the year, the person repeatedly went on business trips abroad

The work of Moldovan citizen A.S. Kondratieva is associated with business trips. During 2015 (365 days), he was sent on business trips abroad three times for periods of 100, 20 and 40 days (excluding the day of departure from Russia and return to Russia). The total duration of official business trips abroad was 160 days.

In addition, Kondratiev went on vacation abroad for 24 days (excluding the day of departure from Russia and return to Russia).

In total, over the past 12 months, Kondratiev has carried out:

• abroad – 184 days (160 days + 24 days);
• on the territory of Russia 181 days (365 days - 184 days), that is, less than 183 days.

Kondratiev is recognized as a tax non-resident.

Situation: Is the 12-month period interrupted when determining the tax status of a foreigner who, due to the expiration of his residence permit in Russia, leaves the country? Next year he will enter the Russian Federation again.

No, it is not interrupted.

The legislation establishes a uniform procedure by which a person’s tax status is determined when calculating personal income tax for non-residents.

If over the next 12 consecutive months a person has been in Russia for 183 calendar days or more, he is considered taxable .

If during the next 12 consecutive months a person was in Russia for less than 183 calendar days, he is taxable .

This follows from the provisions of paragraph 2 of Article 207 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. A similar point of view is reflected in the letter of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated May 5, 2008 No. 03-04-06-01/115.

The use of a 12-month period to determine the tax status of a personal income tax payer is mandatory. Moreover, if a person pays personal income tax on his own income, then the 12-month period is equal to the calendar year in which the income was received (Clause 2 of Article 207, Articles 216 and 228 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). Interruption of this period is not provided for by law (including for reasons, for example, termination or re-conclusion of an employment contract, departure and re-entry into the territory of Russia). At the same time, the number of days a person stays in Russia (less than or more than 183 days) during a 12-month period may be interrupted. This is confirmed by the provisions of paragraph 2 of Article 207 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

If a person traveled abroad for treatment or study (for a period of no more than six months), then the 12-month period is not interrupted. The duration of trips is included in the calculation of 183 days (clause 2 of article 207 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). In this case, the purpose of the trip must be documented (for example, when undergoing treatment - an agreement with a medical institution, a certificate indicating the time of its implementation and a copy of the passport with a border control stamp) (letter of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated June 26, 2008 No. 03-04-06- 01/182).

If a person left the Russian Federation for other reasons (including in connection with the renewal of migration documents, termination of an employment contract), then the 12-month period by which the person’s tax status is determined is also not interrupted. However, days spent abroad must be excluded from the calculation of 183 days (letter of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated May 26, 2011 No. 03-04-06/6-123).

Documents confirming short-term stay abroad

Documents confirming a person’s presence outside Russia for short-term treatment or training include:

• contracts with medical (educational) institutions for treatment (training);

• certificates issued by medical (educational) institutions indicating the completion of treatment (training) indicating its time;

• copies of passport pages with special visas and border control stamps on border crossings.

At the same time, there are no restrictions on age, types of educational institutions and disciplines studied, medical institutions and diseases, or the list of countries in which training or treatment takes place.

This is stated in letters of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation dated June 26, 2008 No. 03-04-06-01/182, Federal Tax Service of Russia dated October 15, 2015 No. OA-3-17/3850 and dated July 20, 2012 No. OA3- 13/2525.

Traveling abroad is only important for calculating the number of days of stay in Russia (less than or more than 183 days). It does not interrupt the course of the 12 month period.

This procedure follows from paragraph 2 of Article 207 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

It is possible that over the course of a year (for example, seven months) the number of days a person stays in Russia will reach 183 days. In this case he becomes . And this status cannot change until the end of the year. This is confirmed by letters from the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated March 29, 2007 No. 03-04-06-01/94 and dated March 29, 2007 No. 03-04-06-01/95.

An example of determining a person’s tax status (resident or non-resident) for personal income tax purposes

In June 2014, A.V. Lvov received income from the sale of the car.

Lviv must calculate personal income tax on the amount received and transfer it to the budget independently (subclause 2, clause 1, article 228 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

To find out what rate to take to calculate personal income tax, Lvov must determine its tax status (resident or non-resident).

The tax period for personal income tax is a year (Article 216 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). Lviv must calculate and transfer the tax to the budget based on its results - when the year ends (clause 4 of Article 228 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). Therefore, Lvov determined its tax status as of January 1, 2015 (when 2014 ended, in which it received income from the sale of a car).

The 12 months preceding this date are the period from January 1 to December 31, 2014 (365 days).

During this period, Lvov left Russia only once - for 28 days during vacation (excluding the day of departure from Russia and return to Russia). During this time, the course of the 12-month period during which Lviv must determine his time in Russia (more or less 183 days) is not interrupted. However, the 28 days that Lvov vacationed abroad are not included in the calculation of the time spent in Russia (more or less 183 days).

Thus, over the next 12 consecutive months of 2014, Lvov spent in the Russian Federation:
365 days – 28 days = 337 days

Since Lvov spent more than 183 days in Russia (337 days > 183 days) over the 12 consecutive months of 2014, he is a tax resident of Russia.

Situation: Does a residence permit confirm the time of a person’s actual stay in Russia? The actual time of stay in the Russian Federation must be calculated to determine the tax status of a person (resident or non-resident) for the purposes of calculating personal income tax

No, it doesn't confirm.

The legislation does not contain a list of documents by which the number of days of stay in Russia can be determined to determine tax status. These can be any documents confirming the fact that a person is in the country. Thus, the dates of entry into and exit from Russia can be determined by the marks:

• in the passport;

• in a diplomatic passport;

• in the service passport;

• in the seafarer’s passport (seafarer’s identity card);

• in the migration card;

• in the refugee's travel document, etc.

If there is no mark in the passport (for example, a person came from Ukraine or the Republic of Belarus), then other documents may be proof of stay in Russia. For example, documents on registration of residence, receipts for hotel accommodation. For working people - timesheets or certificates from the place of work issued on the basis of these timesheets. For students - a certificate from the place of study, which confirms the actual attendance of the educational institution.

This follows from letters of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated January 13, 2015 No. 03-04-05/69536, Federal Tax Service of Russia dated May 25, 2011 No. AS-3-3/1855.

A residence permit confirms only the right of a foreign citizen (stateless person) to permanent residence in Russia, as well as to free entry into Russia and exit from the country. For stateless persons, a residence permit is also an identity document. This is stated in paragraph 1 of Article 2 of the Law of July 25, 2002 No. 115-FZ.

Thus, a residence permit confirms a citizen’s right to reside in the Russian Federation (certifies his identity), but is not a document confirming the actual time a person is in the country.

Resident status must be confirmed, for example, for persons working with foreign partners or receiving dividends from foreign companies in order to avoid double taxation. We will tell you where to go to confirm your status and what is needed for this in this article.

Application for confirmation

To confirm their status, an individual or organization is issued a certificate of residence.

Procedure for issuing confirmation of Russian tax resident status

Applications are considered within 30 calendar days from the date of receipt of documents by the MI of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation for the data center. If confirmation of an individual’s residence for the current year is required, then he will be able to receive it no earlier than July 3, that is, after 183 days of stay in the Russian Federation.

You can confirm your status for previous years, if you have the necessary documents, but if more than three years have passed since the required period, you may need other additional confirmation: payment slips, tax returns, bank statements, etc.

As a result, the tax authority issues a certificate of residence of the established form, or in certain cases, the corresponding form of a foreign state is certified.

The confirmation is issued in one copy, unless otherwise provided by the law of the foreign state, and also if the resident requires a larger number of copies to send them to several counterparties.

Confirmation of tax resident status of the Russian Federation - sample application

To the Interregional Inspectorate of the Federal

tax service via centralized

data processing (MI Federal Tax Service of Russia for data centers)

Application for the issuance of a certificate confirming the organization’s status as a tax resident of the Russian Federation

Limited Liability Company "Volna" (OGRN 7776665554443, INN 7776665554, KPP 7770001001, address: Moscow, Parkovaya St., 6) requests to provide a certificate confirming the status of tax resident of the Russian Federation for the 2016 calendar year. year. Confirmation is submitted to the tax authorities of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Application:

1. A copy of the certificate of registration with the tax authority - on 1 sheet.
2. Agreement No. 1/N dated April 10, 2015 – on 6 sheets.

Director of Volna LLC Petrov Petrov I.M.

The Tax Code of the Russian Federation establishes different tax rates for tax residents of the Russian Federation and persons who are not tax residents. In this regard, in order to prevent double taxation situations in accordance with international agreements, the question often arises: how can one confirm the status of a tax resident of the Russian Federation, where to apply for confirmation and what documents must be provided.

The definition of a tax resident is given in the Tax Code of the Russian Federation (see paragraph 2 of article 207). The fact of establishing tax residency depends on the length of time an individual stays in Russia during the calendar year.

Who is a tax resident of the Russian Federation

A tax resident of the Russian Federation is recognized as an individual if during the year, that is, 12 consecutive months, he actually stayed in the Russian Federation for at least 183 calendar days. However, international treaties may establish a different definition of a tax resident, as stated in Art. 7 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

Starting from January 1, 2017, tax authorities are obliged, upon request of the taxpayer, to provide him with a document confirming his tax status. The document can be submitted in paper form or in electronic form.

It should be noted that the Order on approval of the application form for the provision of a document confirming the status of a tax resident of the Russian Federation, and the Procedure for submitting a document confirming the status of a tax resident of the Russian Federation (Appendix No. 3 to the order of the Federal Tax Service of Russia No. ММВ-7-17/837@ dated November 7 2017), registered with the Ministry of Justice on November 27, 2017, but so far, at the moment, not approved.

Therefore, we will consider another way to confirm the status of a tax resident of the Russian Federation, which does not imply receiving confirmation from the tax authority (Part 6, Article 13 of Federal Law No. 401-FZ of November 30, 2016 and Subclause 16, Clause 1, Article 32 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation) .

How to confirm the status of a tax resident of the Russian Federation for personal income tax payment

Talking about How can you confirm your status as a tax resident of the Russian Federation? It should also be noted that not only the rate of tax on personal income, in accordance with Art. 224 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, depends on the tax status of the taxpayer. Tax status also determines the application of personal income tax to income received from certain sources and exemption from taxation in certain cases (Article 209 and Clause 17.1 of Article 217 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

Tax status is not a constant. It is determined by the citizen’s tax agent, including the employer or bank, as well as other persons, depending on the income received for each date he receives income, depending on the time actually spent in the country. The final tax status of a person is determined based on the results of the past tax period, which, in accordance with Art. 216 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, the year is recognized.

Thus, until the tax period has ended, each time an individual receives income, his tax agent must independently determine the person’s tax status. There is no officially approved procedure for confirming the time actually spent on the territory of the Russian Federation in the tax legislation of the Russian Federation, therefore tax agents obtain the necessary information independently, if necessary, requesting the required documents from the citizen. That is, in each situation where a person receives income, his tax agent independently determines his tax status.

What documents can confirm the fact of a person’s presence on the territory of the Russian Federation?

1. Data from the time sheet;
2. Copies of passport pages with marks from border control authorities about the time of border crossing;
3. Documents on registration at the place of residence or place of stay, drawn up in accordance with the procedure established by the legislation of the Russian Federation;
4. Information from migration cards.

As a result of this procedure, at the end of the year, a situation is likely where the tax status of the taxpayer will change, for example, he will acquire the status of a tax resident of the Russian Federation, and the amount of personal income tax will need to be recalculated.

To recalculate, at the end of the tax period, you must submit to the tax authority a tax return and documents confirming the tax status of the taxpayer in a given year. In this case, the tax authority makes a recalculation (Article 78, clause 1.1 of Article 231 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation) and makes it in connection with the acquisition by a person of the status of a tax resident of the Russian Federation.

Confirmation of Russian tax resident status to avoid double taxation

The procedure for confirming tax status, including the required documents, is specified in the Information message of the Federal Tax Service of Russia “On the procedure for confirming the status of a tax resident of the Russian Federation.”

Citizens of the Russian Federation, foreign citizens and stateless persons can obtain confirmation of the status of tax resident of the Russian Federation from the MI of the Federal Tax Service of Russia for the Data Center (at the Interregional Inspectorate of the Federal Tax Service of Russia for centralized data processing).

Confirmation for previous years can be obtained at any time. To do this, you only need to submit the necessary documents to confirm the time actually spent in Russia.

If you need to obtain confirmation of your tax status for a period of time earlier than 3 years before the date of application, you will be required to submit copies for the relevant tax periods. The copies must be marked by the tax authority; in addition, payment documents must be attached, according to which it is possible to confirm the fact of payment of tax on the relevant transactions in respect of which double taxation was possible.

• TIN of the applicant;
• The year for which you want to receive status confirmation;
• List of applications.

3. Copies of documents according to which the person received income in a foreign country, for example:

• The decision of the general meeting of shareholders on the payment of dividends;
• Documents according to which you received a pension from abroad;
• Other documents confirming receipt of income;

4. If the application is submitted by a citizen of the Russian Federation - copies of all pages of the foreign passport, if available;

These documents are required for foreign citizens or stateless persons who arrived in Russia from the territory of foreign states and with whom the Russian Federation has valid international agreements on a visa-free regime.

In addition to directly submitting the application, you can send it with all the necessary documents attached by postal mail with a delivery notification and a list of applications.

Address for departure: 125373, Moscow, Pokhodny proezd, house ownership 3, building 2. You can also submit documents and an application to the expedition of the Federal Tax Service of Russia at the address Moscow, st. Neglinnaya, 23.

Your application will be considered within 30 calendar days from the moment it is received by the MI of the Federal Tax Service of Russia for the data center.

What confirms the tax status of an individual

1. Certificate of the established form;
2. A form established by the legislation of a foreign state, certified by the signature of an authorized person and the seal of the tax authority. Such a form can be issued to confirm tax status only if the Federal Tax Service of Russia has been notified of the availability of such forms by the competent authorities of a foreign state. Also, information about these forms can be posted on the official website of the competent state authority; this will also be sufficient to prepare the appropriate form for submission to the tax authority of a foreign state.

As a general rule, an individual receives confirmation of his tax status in one copy. But if a foreign state, in accordance with its legislation, requires the submission of confirmation in two or more copies, and the competent authorities of this state notified the Federal Tax Service of Russia in the prescribed manner about the presence of such a feature of the legislation, the confirmation will be issued to the person in the required number of copies.
