In accordance with the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the employer is obliged to pay wages at least twice a month. The advance amount should not be less than the salary or tariff rates for the first half of the month worked. The advance payment scheme is shown in Fig. 1.
Rice. 1. Procedure and timing of advance payment.
Deductions from wages can be made only in cases provided for by law. Art. 138 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation establishes restrictions on the amount of deductions from wages:
- in standard cases – no more than 20% of the salary amount;
- in special cases provided for by law, as well as when deducting from an employee’s earnings under several executive documents - no more than 50% of the salary;
- when an employee serves correctional labor, pays alimony for minor children, or compensates for damage as a result of a crime - no more than 70% of the salary.
The organization sends part of the salary to pay for the employee’s loan at his request. Also, the amount for bank commission for money transfer. What kind of posting should be used to reflect this deduction in the BU and NU?
The deduction of the amount from the salary for transfer to third parties is reflected in the D account. 70 “Settlements with personnel for wages” and To account. 76 “Settlements with various debtors and creditors.” To account 76 open a sub-account, for example, “Payments on behalf of employees.”
The deduction of the bank's commission for transferring payments is reflected in the D account. 70 and Kch. 73 “Settlements with personnel for other operations.”
The rationale for this position is given below in the recommendations of the Glavbukh System and in the article in the Glavbukh magazine, which you can find in the Journal tab.
Purposes for which deductions can be made
At the employee’s initiative, amounts can be withheld from his salary for any purpose. These may be payments* to repay a loan, for goods purchased on credit, in payment of insurance premiums and services cellular communication, on account of membership fees, etc. The indicated amounts are not considered deductions within the meaning of Articles 137 and 138 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, since we are talking about the employee’s will to dispose of the accrued salary. In this case, the employee must confirm his desire for deductions in writing.*
By general rule In accounting, the amount of deductions at the request of the employee must be reflected in the entry:
Debit 70 Credit 76*
– payments are withheld from wages at the employee’s initiative.
An example of reflecting in accounting deductions from an employee’s salary on his initiative. The organization applies common system taxation*
According to the manager of Alpha CJSC A.S. Kondratiev (b. 1955) 900 rubles are withheld from his salary monthly. and is transferred to his personal account to the operator mobile communications. Kondratiev’s monthly salary is 16,000 rubles. Kondratiev has no children, so standard tax deductions are not provided to him. The organization pays contributions for insurance against accidents and occupational diseases at a rate of 0.2 percent.
Alpha's accountant makes the following monthly accounting entries:
Debit 26 Credit 70
– 16,000 rub. – Kondratiev’s salary was accrued;
Debit 26 Credit 69 “Settlements with the Pension Fund for the insurance part of the labor pension”
– 3520 rub. (RUB 16,000 ? 22%) - accrued pension contributions to finance the insurance part of the labor pension;
Debit 26 Credit 69 subaccount “Settlements with the Social Insurance Fund for social insurance contributions”
– 464 rub. (RUB 16,000 ? 2.9%) – social insurance contributions have been accrued;
Debit 26 Credit 69 “Settlements with FFOMS”
– 816 rub. (RUB 16,000 ? 5.1%) – contributions accrued for health insurance in FFOMS;
Debit 26 Credit 69 subaccount “Settlements with the Social Insurance Fund for contributions to insurance against accidents and occupational diseases”
– 32 rub. (RUB 16,000 ? 0.2%) – premiums for insurance against accidents and occupational diseases have been calculated;
Debit 70 Credit 68 subaccount “Personal Income Tax Payments”
– 2080 rub. (RUB 16,000 ? 13%) – personal income tax was withheld from Kondratiev’s salary;
Debit 70 Credit 76*
– 900 rub. – money was withheld from Kondratyev’s salary at his request;
Debit 70 Credit 50
– 13,020 rub. (16,000 rubles – 2080 rubles – 900 rubles) – Kondratiev’s salary was issued from the cash register;
Debit 76 Credit 51*
– 900 rub. – money is transferred to the telecom operator.
Deductions from salary to repay a loan (interest on it) issued to an employee by an organization are reflected by posting:
Debit 70 Credit 73*
– the loan amount (interest on it) is withheld from the employee’s salary.
The procedure for taxing salary deductions initiated by an employee depends on who these funds are intended for: a third-party recipient or the organization itself.
If withholdings are to be transferred to a third party recipient, then the organization is only providing remittance services. In this case, the entire amount of the employee’s salary (before voluntary deductions) is included in the calculation of taxes and mandatory contributions. The deductions themselves do not affect the taxation procedure in any way. This order follows from the provisions Tax Code RF Article 8 of the Law of July 24, 2009 No. 212-FZ.
If the recipient of the withheld amounts is the organization itself, they can also participate in the calculation of taxes. For example, * if an organization withholds interest on a loan issued to an employee.

2. Article: Your actions if the employee’s salary needs to be transferred “outside”
What entries should be made in accounting?
Any transactions related to deductions and payments from the employee’s salary should be reflected in account 76 “Settlements with various debtors and creditors.” Create the necessary sub-accounts for it - for example, “Deductions under writs of execution”, “Alimony”, “Payments on behalf of employees”. Under the loan, these subaccounts will correspond with account 70 “Settlements with personnel for wages”. And by debit - with cash accounting accounts (usually 50 or 51) upon payment of the employee’s obligations.
Maintain analytical accounting in the subaccounts of account 76 both for recipients of payments and for the employees themselves. This information will be sufficient, since the rest of the information can be gleaned from payment documents, accrual and deduction registers, and personal accounts workers.*
Example: The company withholds alimony from an employee’s salary and uses part of his income to repay the loan*
Employee K.I. Petrenko works at Svetoch LLC, this is his main place of work, he is entitled to standard deductions. In January 2011, he received a salary of 21,400 rubles.
In relation to Petrenko, the organization received writ of execution No. 13 for the payment of alimony for a minor child in the amount of 25 percent. In addition, Petrenko submitted an application on January 10, 2011 with a request to transfer 4,500 rubles monthly. to the bank to repay its loan under agreement dated October 1, 2010 No. 14.
Deductions from wages are divided into three groups: mandatory (prescribed by law), at the initiative of the employer (also regulated by labor law), at the request of the employee. Let's look at the main typical wiring on deductions from wages.
Mandatory withholdings include taxes on employee income - personal income tax. For different categories employees have their own tax rate.
Reflected by wiring:
- Debit Credit 68 Personal Income Tax.
To be recorded:
- Debit Credit 76.
Payment of withheld obligations in favor of the claimant is made in a writ of execution or within three days and is recorded by recording:
- Debit 76 Credit.
Transfer costs are borne by the employee (bank commission, etc.).

Occurs in case of damage or loss of property (Debit Credit 73.2), debt on accountable amounts (Debit Credit 71). The employer can also deduct part of the funds from the employee’s salary to repay a previously issued loan (Debit Credit 73.1).
Sometimes an employer may mistakenly pay a larger salary. Then part of the overpayment is withheld from the employee.
Another situation: an employee took full paid leave, but quit before the end of the period for which it was taken. Amounts of vacation pay for those days to which the employee is not entitled are withheld (Debit Credit 73).
The employee's salary (RUB 000) was withheld cash to repay a loan in the amount of 5,500 rubles.

We will not consider payroll calculations in detail, but will analyze the entries that are generated in accounting after the calculations are completed for each employee.
Stages of work on payroll accounting in an organization:
- payment of personal income tax and contributions.
To record all transactions related to wages, account 70 “Settlements with personnel for wages” is used. The credit of this account reflects accruals, the debit - personal income tax, other deductions and salary payments. Postings for payroll, deductions, accrual of personal income tax and insurance contributions are usually made on the last day of the month for which salaries are accrued. Postings for salary payments and personal income tax payment and contributions - on the day of actual transfer (issue) of funds.
Wage expenses are written off against the cost of production or goods, therefore the following accounts correspond to account 70:
- For manufacturing enterprise— 20 account “Main production” or 23 account “Auxiliary production”, 25 “General production expenses”, 26 “General (administrative) expenses”, 29 “Servicing production and facilities”;
- For trading enterprise- Account 44 “Sales expenses”.
The wiring looks like this:
