The joint-stock company paid dividends: we fill out the declaration. Taxation of dividends for legal entities Interest on dividends per year

Based on the results of the last reporting year, the management of the company has the right to pay dividends to participants from the amounts of retained earnings. At the same time, individuals receive a corresponding item of income. Should personal income tax be charged in this case? You will learn the answer to this question from the material “Is personal income tax charged on dividends?” .

NOTE! Payment of tax to the budget should not occur later than the day following the day of payment of amounts to the company's participants from the cash register or transfer to a bank account. If there are several recipients of this type of income, then it is possible to transfer the total amount of tax if certain conditions are met .

You will learn more about the requirements for paying personal income tax from the material “How to transfer personal income tax on dividends” .

When paying dividends to individuals, it is necessary to reflect the income received in the 2-NDFL certificate using a separate code. In this case, the certificates must indicate data on the actual receipt of payments, regardless of the period for which they were accrued. It should be taken into account that tax deductions are not provided for this type of income.

About issuing a certificate f. 2-NDFL learn from our materials headings .

Persons who receive income are recognized as taxpayers. However, the obligation to transfer to the budget falls on organizations that are tax agents. They are the ones responsible for the correct preparation of payment documents, including the correct indication of KBK for dividends in 2016-2017 (as well as in 2018) for personal income tax. At the same time, fines may be applied to tax agents if personal income tax on dividends in 2017 (as well as in other periods) is not transferred within the deadlines established by law.

So, taxation of dividends can affect organizations, residents, non-residents, and individuals. Based on the results of the corresponding payments, either income tax (for legal entities) or personal income tax (for individuals) is withheld.

Personal income tax rate on dividends

The personal income tax rate on dividends since 2015 has been 13%. This rule also affects previous accruals that were not previously transferred to the company’s participants.

Regarding non-residents, the tax rate on dividends remained unchanged and remains 15%. Taxpayer status is determined at the time of payment of dividends. At the same time, it is not uncommon for a non-resident to become a resident within a year.

Please note: if at the end of the reporting period dividends were accrued to such a person who changed his status, then in the payment documents the KBK for personal income tax from dividends will remain unchanged.

You can find out what to do with personal income tax if the dividends transferred by postal transfer did not reach the recipient from the publication.

Dividends are the profit that the owners of a company receive as a result of its effective operation. However, as with any income, taxes must be paid on dividends. Let's look at how to calculate income tax on dividends.

Concept of dividends

In taxation, dividends mean the income that the owner of a legal entity receives when distributing the resulting profit. For example, in a joint-stock company dividends are paid to participants, and in an LLC, profits are usually distributed among the founders according to the available shares. Profit is paid to both individuals and legal entities. But now they have the obligation to pay taxes: for individuals - personal income tax, and for legal entities - income tax.

All other Russian organizations13% -
Foreign organizations15% or the rate provided for by international agreements -
Residents of the Russian Federation- 13%
Non-residents of the Russian Federation- 15%

Personal income tax

Until 2015, if a citizen received a profit, the income tax on dividends from individuals was calculated at a rate of nine percent. Now the rate is higher and is 13 percent. The amount of mandatory tax is withheld by the organization that pays the dividends.

It turns out that since 2015, the dividend rate has been equal to the “salary” rate, although income tax is not subject to contributions to insurance funds, since it is outside the scope of labor legislation. The general formula for calculating taxes on dividends is provided in clause 5 of Art. 275 Tax Code of the Russian Federation. With its help, both personal income tax and income tax are calculated (letter of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation dated June 17, 2015 No. 03-04-06/34935).

When is a tax deduction not applied?

Personal income tax reporting

According to the Tax Code (clause 4 of Article 230), persons who are recognized as tax agents in accordance with the Tax Code of the Russian Federation (Article 226.1) are required to submit information to the territorial department of the tax inspectorate:

Information is transmitted in the order and within the time limits specified in Art. 289 Tax Code.

It should be noted that such tax agents are not subject to the general procedure for transferring information on the profits of individuals to the Federal Tax Service by providing a certificate of income of individuals.

The income tax return form is now in effect. It is filled in when tax agents have to pay dividends. The declaration form was approved by a letter from the Federal Tax Service of Russia dated 02/05/2015.

Income tax

As mentioned earlier, the tax base for dividends is determined in accordance with Art. 275 Tax Code of the Russian Federation. Income tax is withheld at a rate of 13% on the day of payment of dividends, directly by the organization that issues them. It is worth noting that a legal entity must transfer tax to the budget no later than the day following the payment of dividends.

If the income is received from a foreign organization, then the calculation and payment of tax lies on the shoulders of the domestic organization. If the payment is made by a Russian organization, then it is the organization that is obliged to withhold and pay tax for the recipient company.

Tax agent responsibilities exist for Russian companies regardless of the taxation regime.

Calculation of net assets

By law, dividends cannot be distributed, for example, if the company’s net assets have become less than the authorized capital. To do this, you need to know how to calculate these “net assets”.

The procedure for determining the value of net assets was approved by Order of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation No. 84n dated August 28, 2014 and is binding on both JSCs and LLCs.

The value of net assets represents the book value of everything that will exist at the disposal of the founders of the organization if they pay off every single obligation; this value is determined on the basis of accounting data.

When calculating, the receivables of the founders for unpaid contributions to the authorized capital or payment for shares are subtracted from the total assets of the organization.

As for liabilities, they must be reduced by the amount of future income received as government assistance or as property transferred free of charge.

How to calculate tax on dividends

Let's look at how the calculations are carried out.

Example 1

The authorized capital of Alpha LLC consists of equal shares of three investors. In May 2016, the LLC paid its founders P.S. Ivanov and S.I. Petrov. – Russian citizens, and Sidorchuk I.P. – to a non-resident of the Russian Federation, a citizen of Ukraine, dividends. Each - in the amount of 300,000.00 rubles.

When paying them, personal income tax is withheld. From Russians - 39,000.00 rubles. (300,000 x 13%); each of the Russian participants received 261,000.00 rubles. (300,000 – 39,000).

The personal income tax withheld from a citizen of Ukraine amounted to 45,000.00 rubles. (300,000 x 15%), and payment to Sidorchuk I.P. amounted to 255,000.00 rubles. (300,000–45,000).

The next day after the payments to the founders, Alpha LLC transferred the withheld personal income tax in the amount of RUB 123,000.00. to the budget (39,000+39,000+45,000).

Example 2

Beta LLC in 2016 decided to pay dividends for 2015 in the amount of RUB 1,000,000.00. to its investors: Gamma LLC (60% of the authorized capital), Delta LLC (30%), resident of the Russian Federation P.S. Ivanov. (7%) and non-resident of the Russian Federation Ukrainian Sidorchuk I.P. (3%).

Beta LLC owns shares in the authorized capitals of:

  • Epsilon LLC – 100%; Beta LLC owns this share for three years: 2014, 2015 and 2016, that is, dividend income will be taxed at a rate of 0%.
  • Zeta LLC – 40%, that is, dividend income will be taxed at a rate of 13%.

In 2015, Beta LLC received dividends from Epsilon LLC in the amount of RUB 1,500,000.00. and from Zeta LLC - in the amount of RUB 500,000.00. These dividends were not taken into account when calculating the tax base for dividends paid by Beta LLC to its participants in 2015. At the end of 2015, Beta LLC distributed profit in the amount of RUB 1,000,000.00 among its participants. in the following order:

  • Ivanov P.S. and Sidorchuk I.P. RUB 70,000.00 each and 30,000.00 rub. respectively;
  • Gamma LLC – RUB 600,000.00;
  • Delta LLC – RUB 300,000.00.

Dividends were paid in May 2016. Personal income tax and income tax on them are calculated as follows:

  • In Sidorchuk I.P. Personal income tax amounted to RUB 4,500.00. (30,000 x 15%), payment to Sidorchuk I.P. amounted to RUB 25,500.00. (30,000 – 4,500).
  • Ivanov P.S. Personal income tax is calculated according to the following rule: if the company that issues dividends makes a profit in another organization, then personal income tax must be calculated using the formula: personal income tax = 13% x (Div - Div1) x Div2/Div, where:
    • Personal income tax is the calculated tax of an individual resident of the Russian Federation;
    • Div – the amount of profit to be distributed (in our example, 1,000,000.00 rubles);
    • Div1 – the amount of dividends received (this includes profits received from third parties, including for previous periods, but not included in the calculation of tax), minus income received by Russian organizations in the form of dividends, provided that on the day of the decision on the payment of dividends, the organization receiving dividends for at least 365 calendar days continuously owns by right of ownership at least 50 percent of the authorized capital of the organization paying dividends or depositary receipts giving the right to receive dividends in an amount corresponding to at least 50 percent of the total the amount of dividends paid by the organization (RUB 500,000.00 - income from Zeta LLC);
    • Div2 – share (dividends) of an individual – a resident of the Russian Federation (RUB 70,000.00).

    So, personal income tax on dividends from Ivanov P.S. amounted to RUB 4,550.00. (70,000/1,000,000 x 13% x (1,000,000 – 500,000); Ivanov will receive 65,450.00 rubles (70,000.00 – 4,550).

  • Dividends received from Gamma LLC are not taken into account when calculating the deduction, since they are subject to income tax at a rate of 0%.
  • The income tax on dividends of Delta LLC, withheld by the tax agent of Beta LLC, will amount to RUB 195,00.00. (300,000/1,000,000 x 13% x (1,000,000 – 500,000). The participant receives 280,500 rubles (300,000 – 19,500).

How to determine the total amount of personal income tax taking into account dividends: Video

If personal accounts of shareholders are opened in the register of shareholders, the JSC acts as a tax agent. It fills out an income tax return not only when paying dividends not only to legal entities, but also to individuals.

In accordance with the provisions of Art. 42 of the Law on JSC, a joint stock company has the right, based on the results of the first quarter, half a year, nine months of the reporting year and (or) based on the results of the reporting year, to make decisions (announce) on the payment of dividends on placed shares, unless otherwise established by the mentioned law. This decision is made by the general meeting of shareholders. It must reflect the amount of dividends on shares of each category (type), the form of their payment, the procedure for paying dividends in non-monetary form, the date on which persons entitled to receive dividends are determined.

The decision to pay (declare) dividends based on the results of the first quarter, half-year and nine months of the reporting year can be made within three months after the end of the corresponding period.

The date on which, in accordance with the decision on the payment (declaration) of dividends, the persons entitled to receive them are determined cannot be set earlier than 10 days from the date of the decision on the payment (declaration) of dividends and later than 20 days from the date of such a decision.

If personal accounts of shareholders are opened in the register of shareholders, they receive dividends not through the depository, but directly from the joint-stock company, which acts as a tax agent. In this case, the JSC accountants are faced with the question of calculating and paying personal income tax and income tax to the budget on the amounts of dividends paid. As a rule, this is not an easy task, because often the composition of the founders is heterogeneous: there are individuals, legal entities, “foreigners”, and municipalities.

In this article we will talk about the specifics of taxation when paying dividends and filling out an income tax return.

The JSC pays dividends to Russian recipients.

When paying dividends to Russian organizations and individuals - residents of the Russian Federation, the amount of tax to be withheld from income is calculated using the following formula (clause 5 of Article 275 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation):

N = K x CH x (D1 - D2), where:

N – amount of tax subject to withholding;

K – the ratio of the amount of dividends subject to distribution in favor of the taxpayer - recipient of the dividends to the total amount of dividends subject to distribution by the Russian organization;

When paying dividends, JSCs calculate and withhold personal income tax on the date of payment of such income. Tax amounts are subject to payment no later than one month from the date of payment of funds (clauses 7 and 9 of Article 226.1 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, Letter of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated 09/05/2014 No. 03-04-06/44588).

Information on the payment of dividends to its shareholders and withheld personal income tax amounts by the joint stock company by virtue of clause 4 of Art. 230 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation is reflected in Appendix 2 to the annual income tax return and submitted no later than March 28 of the year following the year of payment of dividends (see clause 1.8 of the Procedure for filling out the declaration). Appendix 2 is completed for each individual recipient of dividends.

When paying dividends to individuals, JSCs do not need to submit 2-NDFL certificates to the Federal Tax Service (they are submitted only by LLCs). An organization can issue such a certificate to an individual upon his application on the basis of clause 3 of Art. 230 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation (Letter of the Federal Tax Service of Russia dated 02/02/2015 No. BS-4-11/1443@ together with Letter of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated 01/29/2015 No. 03-04-07/3263).

If a JSC pays dividends only to individuals, it does not need to fill out sheet 03 and subsection 1.3 of section 1.

An organization must make every effort to identify taxpayers who received income from it. If there is obviously out-of-date information, she can request the necessary information from an individual - the taxpayer (Letter of the Federal Tax Service of Russia dated August 12, 2016 No. GD-4-11/14800@).

Income in the form of dividends not received by an individual, sent to him by postal order, later returned to the tax agent, is not subject to inclusion in the specified information of Appendix 2 to the tax return (Letter of the Federal Tax Service of Russia dated July 6, 2016 No. BS-4-11/12129@).

The personal income tax rate for income in the form of dividends from equity participation in the activities of Russian organizations when paid to individuals who are residents of the Russian Federation is 13% (clause 1 of Article 224 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

By virtue of clauses 2, 3 of Art. 210 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, income in the form of dividends cannot be reduced by the amount of tax deductions provided for in Art. 218 – 221 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation (Letter of the Federal Tax Service of Russia dated June 23, 2016 No. OA-3-17/2829@).

note

Starting from January 1, 2016, both LLC and JSC (recognized as tax agents under Article 226 and paragraph 2 of Article 226.1 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, respectively) are required to submit quarterly calculations in form 6-NDFL to the tax authorities at the place of their registration.

If, for example, an organization pays dividends to individuals only in the second quarter, form 6-NDFL is submitted for six months, nine months and a year of the corresponding tax period. If there are no payments in the third and fourth quarters, the tax agent fills out only section 1 of form 6-NDFL for nine months and a year; section 2 in this case is not filled out (Letter of the Federal Tax Service of Russia dated March 23, 2016 No. BS-4-11/4958@).

The joint-stock company pays dividends to “foreigners”.

Recipient of dividends is a foreign company

According to paragraph 6 of Art. 275 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, if an organization recognized in accordance with the Tax Code of the Russian Federation as a tax agent pays income in the form of dividends to a foreign company, the tax base of the recipient of dividends for each such payment is determined as the amount of dividends paid (D) and the tax rate (Sn) is applied to it, established pp. 3 p. 3 art. 284 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, equal to 15% (unless other tax rates are provided for by an international treaty of the Russian Federation regulating taxation issues). That is, N = D x Sn.

note

From 01/01/2016, this norm was supplemented with a new paragraph: if the recipients of income in the form of dividends paid to a foreign organization acting in the interests of third parties are individuals and (or) organizations recognized as tax residents of the Russian Federation, the amount of tax withheld from the amount such dividends are determined on the basis of clause 5 of Art. 275 Tax Code of the Russian Federation. That is, according to a formula that takes into account dividends received by the source of payment itself.

So, as a general rule, the tax rate is 15%. If he is a resident of a state with which the Russian Federation has concluded an international treaty on the avoidance of double taxation, the norms of the corresponding international treaty are subject to application. That is, if the agreement provides for a reduced tax rate, this rate should be used, and if it is established that this type of income is not taxed on the territory of the Russian Federation, the organization does not have an obligation to withhold tax (letter of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated 08.08.2013 No. 03-08 -05/32158, dated 08.10.2012 No. 03-08-05, dated 02.08.2012 No. 03-08-05, dated 20.07.2012 No. 03-08-13, dated 08.06.2007 No. 03-08-05 and the Federal Tax Service Russia dated November 11, 2011 No. ED-4-3/18906@).

note

The amount of withheld tax is transferred to the budget by the tax agent who made the payment no later than the day following the day of payment (clauses 2, 4 of Article 287 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

If the recipient of dividends is a foreign company, then the income tax return reflects only the amount of accrued dividends, and the amount of calculated and withheld tax is given in the calculation of the amounts of income paid to foreign organizations and withheld taxes. The specified calculation is submitted to the Federal Tax Service no later than 28 calendar days from the end of the corresponding reporting period (clause 4 of Article 310 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

The recipient of dividends is an individual (non-resident of the Russian Federation)

According to paragraph 6 of Art. 275 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, if an organization recognized in accordance with the Tax Code of the Russian Federation as a tax agent pays income in the form of dividends to an individual - non-resident of the Russian Federation, the tax base of the taxpayer - recipient of dividends for each such payment is determined as the amount of dividends paid and the tax rate established is applied to it clause 3 art. 224 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, equal to 15% (clause 6 of Article 275 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

When paying dividends to foreign individuals, the JSC fills out Appendix 2 to the income tax return and Form 6-NDFL.

Personal accounts of JSC shareholders are opened in the register of shareholders

Example

The shares of ABC JSC are distributed among shareholders in the following way:

  • Omega LLC owns 51% of the shares (ownership period is more than 365 days);
  • Gamma LLC – 7% shares;
  • foreign company (resident of a country with which the Russian Federation does not have an international treaty on the avoidance of double taxation) – 3%;
  • municipal formation – 4%;
  • Sidorov K.K. – citizen of the Russian Federation – 15% of shares.

The listed shareholders have personal accounts opened in the register of shareholders.

In addition, 20% of the shares belong to shareholders whose shares are recorded on the personal account of the depositary - the nominal holder.

On November 3, 2016, it was decided to pay dividends in the amount of RUB 6,000,000 based on the results of work for the nine months of 2016.

On 11/09/2016, the JSC paid dividends to all members of the company in proportion to their share in the authorized capital, and also transferred RUB 1,200,000 to the depositary. (RUB 6,000,000 x 20%) for the payment of dividends to shareholders receiving dividends through the depositary.

The JSC, being a participant in other organizations, itself received dividends from Russian organizations (after withholding the corresponding amounts of tax from them by tax agents under the legislation of the Russian Federation), which were not previously taken into account when determining the tax base for income in the form of dividends: 05.12.2016 – 2,400,000 rub.; 05.15.2015 – 810,000 rub. (In the latter case, there were conditions for the application of clause 1, clause 3, article 284 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, therefore dividends were taxed at a rate of 0%.)

In previous reporting periods of 2016, dividends were not distributed, and the amount of income tax on income in the form of dividends was not calculated.

We will determine the amount of dividends due to shareholders and the amount of income tax and personal income tax subject to withholding.

The total amount of dividends to be distributed by the Russian organization in favor of all recipients (corresponds to indicator D1) is equal to 6,000,000 rubles. Including due to shareholders:

  • Omega LLC – RUB 3,060,000. (RUB 6,000,000 x 51%);
  • Gamma LLC – 420,000 rubles. (RUB 6,000,000 x 7%);
  • foreign company – 180,000 rubles. (RUB 6,000,000 x 3%);
  • municipal formation – 240,000 rubles. (RUB 6,000,000 x 4%);
  • citizen of the Russian Federation – 900,000 rubles. (RUB 6,000,000 x 15%).

In relation to a foreign company, ABC JSC must calculate and transfer to the budget the amount of tax on income in the form of dividends based on the rate established by paragraphs. 3 p. 3 art. 284 Tax Code of the Russian Federation. The tax amount will be 27,000 rubles. (RUB 180,000 x 15%).

The municipal entity that owns the shares of ABC JSC is not a profit tax payer; therefore, dividends are paid to it in full.

For other shareholders, income tax and personal income tax are calculated as follows.

Coefficient K (the ratio of the amount of dividends subject to distribution in favor of the taxpayer - recipient of dividends to the total amount of dividends subject to distribution by the tax agent) will be:

  • for Omega LLC – 0.51 (RUB 3,060,000 / RUB 6,000,000);
  • for Gamma LLC – 0.07 (RUB 420,000 / RUB 6,000,000);
  • for Sidorov K.K. – 0.15 (900,000 rubles / 6,000,000 rubles).

The amount of dividends received by the organization in the current and previous tax periods is RUB 3,210,000. (2,400,000 + 810,000). The amount of dividends received (excluding those taxed at a 0% rate) is RUB 2,400,000. and corresponds to indicator D2.

The difference between indicators D1 and D2 is 3,600,000 rubles. (6,000,000 - 2,400,000).

Amount of dividends to be calculated:

  • income tax for LLC Omega is 1,836,000 rubles. (0.51 x RUB 3,600,000); Gamma LLC – 252,000 rubles. (0.07 x RUB 3,600,000);
  • Personal income tax for Sidorov K.K. – 540,000 rubles. (0.15 x RUB 3,600,000).

Amount of income tax withheld when paying dividends:

  • Omega LLC amounted to 0 rubles. (RUB 1,836,000 x 0%);
  • for Gamma LLC – 32,760 rubles. (RUB 252,000 x 13%).

The amount of personal income tax withheld when paying dividends to Sidorov K.K. amounted to 70,200 rubles. (RUB 540,000 x 13%).

The following sections will be completed on your income tax return.

  • tax agent category – 1 (organization distributing profits);
  • type of dividends – 1 (interim dividends);
  • tax (reporting) period (code) – 33 (nine months). The code of the period for which dividends are distributed is reflected here;
  • reporting year – 2016.

Payments

In order for a shareholder to expect to receive dividends, the organization must have net income. In addition, the meeting of shareholders must officially decide to use the income, or a share of it, to pay dividends.

During a crisis or in the presence of investment projects, such a decision may not be made.

Frequency and order

First, the organization’s Board of Directors prepares to propose to shareholders to pay dividends and begins to create a register of who should be paid and how much. Shareholders then approve the proposal at the annual meeting.

No earlier than 10 days after this and no later than 20 days after this, the register ceases to be formed, and the time for closing comes. According to Russian legislation, those who were included in it no later than 2 days before the closing time can count on dividends.

  • The authorized capital must be paid in full.
  • Net assets must be greater than the authorized capital even after payment of dividends.

LLC dividends: calculation, taxation and payment to individuals

Summing up the results of the year, organizations prepare annual reports. If a profit is made during the tax period, it can be used to pay dividends to the Company's participants. In this article we will look at how to calculate dividends and personal income tax on them, and what documents and transactions to reflect these transactions.

When creating an LLC, the founders make contributions to the authorized capital and receive the right to receive a portion of the Company’s income according to their share. In the process of carrying out activities in the LLC, new participants may appear, who also have the right to a portion of the profits. Payment of income to the Company's participants in proportion to their shares in the authorized capital is made in the form of dividends (Clause 1 of Article of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

According to the Tax Code, the profit remaining after taxation is used to pay dividends. Profits can be distributed quarterly, once every six months or once a year (Article 28 of the Federal Law “On Limited Liability Companies” dated 02/08/1998 No. 14-FZ). The timing and procedure for paying dividends are prescribed in the charter of the LLC. In practice, it is more common to pay dividends at the end of the year.

There are a number of cases when an organization does not have the right to pay income to the founders. All exceptions are specified in Art. 29 of the Federal Law of 02/08/1998 No. 14-FZ.

The founders of an LLC can include both legal entities and individuals. Next we will talk about settlements with individual participants.

Profit distribution decision

At the general meeting of LLC participants, a decision is made to allocate retained earnings or part of it to pay dividends. Dividends can be paid both from the profit of the reporting year and from the profit of previous years. The results of the meeting are recorded in the minutes of the general meeting of participants (clause 6 of article 37

If the Company consists of one participant (sole founder), the decision to pay dividends is drawn up in any form (Article 39 of Federal Law No. 14-FZ).

Each participant in the company receives dividends according to their share in the authorized capital.

The protocol (decision) on the payment of dividends should indicate:

  • for what period is profit distributed (last year, quarter, etc.);
  • the amount of profit to be distributed;
  • share of each participant (in% and rubles);
  • timing of dividend payments;
  • form of payment of dividends (money or property).

Participants can also indicate other clarifying information in the protocol. A detailed calculation procedure will help avoid controversial situations in the future.

Dividend calculation

Let's look at an example. Romashka LLC includes 3 founders. Shares among participants are distributed as follows:

Ivanov I.I. (organization employee) - 50%;

Sidorova A.A. (employee of the organization) - 22%;

Nosova E.E. (not an employee of the organization) - 28%.

Based on the results of the general meeting of founders, it was decided to pay dividends to all members of the Company from net profit, which amounts to 150,000 rubles.

Ivanov I.I. will receive dividends in the amount of 75,000 rubles (150,000 x 50%). Sidorova A.A. will receive dividends in the amount of 33,000 rubles (150,000 x 22%), and Nosova E.E. — 42,000 rubles (150,000 x 28%).

The accrual of dividends in accounting is reflected in the debit of account 84 “Retained earnings” and in the credit of accounts 70 (for employees of the Company) or 75 (for individuals who are not employees of the Company). Postings must be made on the day the decision to pay dividends is made (signing the protocol).

The accountant of Romashka LLC must make the following entries:

Debit 84 Credit 70 75 000 - dividends accrued to Ivanov I.I.;

Debit 84 Credit 70 33,000 - dividends accrued to Sidorova A.A.;

Debit 84 Credit 75 42,000 - dividends accrued to Nosova E.E.

Taxation

Organizations that pay dividends are recognized as tax agents. The responsibilities of tax agents include complete and timely calculation, withholding and transfer of taxes (Clause 3 of Article of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

If an organization pays dividends to a legal entity, income tax must be calculated and the appropriate declaration must be submitted. When dividends are paid to individuals, there is no obligation to pay income tax. In this case, the Company must charge and withhold personal income tax from the participant’s income.

For resident individuals, the personal income tax rate on dividends is 13%; before 2015, the rate was 9% (Article of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). Income in the form of dividends paid to individuals - non-residents of the Russian Federation, is taxed at a rate of 15%.

All income generated in favor of individuals is reflected in the 2-NDFL certificate. Since 2016, the tax withheld from dividends is also reflected in the calculation of 6-NDFL.

The Company should not show the amount of dividends paid to individuals as part of the income tax return (letter of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation dated October 19, 2015 No. 03-03-06/1/59890).

Personal income tax on dividends must be transferred no later than the day of their actual payment (clause 6 of Art. Tax Code of the Russian Federation).
