What taxes are paid on wages?

Ksenia (KadrofID: 45949)

This is a completely illiterate article!!!! Art. 419 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation: Payers of insurance premiums (hereinafter in this chapter - payers) are the following persons who are policyholders in accordance with federal laws on specific types of compulsory social insurance: 1) persons making payments and other remuneration to individuals: organizations; individual entrepreneurs; individuals who are not individual entrepreneurs; 2) individual entrepreneurs, lawyers, mediators, notaries engaged in private practice, arbitration managers, appraisers, patent attorneys and other persons engaged in private practice in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as payers who do not make payments and other remuneration to individuals). Individuals working under an employment contract are not payers of contributions to social insurance funds. What you, Sergey, say, that supposedly in practice employers pay these amounts from funds intended to pay salaries to employees, has no legal basis, you are creating legal illiteracy among the population!!! Mandatory inclusion in the employment contract, according to Art. 57 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, wage conditions are subject to. An employee’s salary can be indicated both with the deduction of personal income tax, since it is still the employer’s responsibility to transfer personal income tax to the budget (according to Article 226 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, the employer is the tax agent for the payment of this tax), and without the deduction. BUT!!! In no case may amounts payable to social security funds be deducted from the salary specified in the employment contract. If the employer deducts more than 13% of the wages (that is, the amount of personal income tax) specified in the employment contract, or in the employment contract itself the amount of wages due to the employee is indicated minus more than 13%, this is a VIOLATION OF LEGISLATION on the part of the employer. Thus, the example given in the article, with a certain employee who has a salary of 30 thousand rubles, is so ridiculous that it plunges me into deep shock. You, Sergey, responding to Anton’s comment, probably meant the desire of employers to minimize costs, I agree that such a trend exists, this leads to the fact that employers do not want to pay high wages, however, wages cannot be below the minimum wage. To summarize, I would like to say that the economic and legal should not be confused. This article is pure nonsense. I ask site visitors not to take the information contained in this article seriously. It's best to consult a legal advisor.

Contributions to the USSR pension fund for employees

In the USSR, contributions to the pension fund for employees came from two sources. The enterprise transferred from 4 to 12% of wages, a small part was added by the state itself. The percentage depended on the industry in which the person worked. Nothing was deducted from the salary. The worker's income acted only as a calculation base. The budget, which contained contributions until a person retired, was called the public consumption fund. The size of the pension was fixed, set once, and neither changes in working conditions nor the economic situation could influence it. There was no minimum wage, and there were no annual recalculations due to inflation. This system came into force in the 60s of the last century. Observations over the next 20 years show that it did not lead to an increase in the well-being of the majority of the population. Despite the fact that at that time pensioners had benefits for travel, treatment, and utilities, by the 80s the standard of living among adults remained below average.

Contributions to the pension fund of individual entrepreneurs for employees

Contributions to the pension fund for employees and reporting do not depend on the form of business. Payments must also be made by the 15th of each month, reporting is submitted quarterly. An individual entrepreneur is obliged as a tax agent to transfer contributions to the pension fund for an employee. He becomes such after receiving the status of an employer and registering with the pension fund as an insured. The rules regarding the calculation of the base, sizes, and tariffs are general. The size of the pension contribution depends directly on the amount of income, calculated at a rate of 22% for each worker.

The size of the future pension is an unpredictable value. Political and economic changes are prerequisites for making adjustments to the pension reform. Therefore, control and planning of your financial future is only partially possible. What can we do now? Conclude an agreement with the employer, which will indicate the full amount of monthly payments, and periodically check the amount of actually received contributions to the pension account.
