Single tax in the DNR for legal entities. General taxation system of the DPR. Detailed description. Income tax in the DPR
Of course, in the Law "On tax system»DPR has articles that indicate that the taxpayer has the right to choose a simplified or patent system of taxation immediately upon registration. However, in reality, it turns out differently - you receive a certificate in the Ministry of Doha itself, and the application for the application of a different taxation system must be carried to your inspector at the district inspection. At the same time, it is unlikely that you will receive a certificate on the same day when it is registered, that is, you will not be able to submit an application on the same day with the registration date.
All this leads to the fact that at least 1 month will have to report on the general system.
So what does “common system” mean?
The Donetsk People's Republic's Tax System Law does not provide a specific definition. It is rather a generalized concept that involves the payment of two taxes by the taxpayer:
- income tax;
- sales tax.
Income tax R calculated at the rate of 20% of the difference between the gross income of the reporting period (calendar month) minus expenses that can be included in the gross expenses of the reporting period.
The DPR Ministry of Revenue and Duties recommends a tax burden of at least 1% of gross revenues ( the tax burden Is the ratio of income tax to gross income). That is, if you declare 10,000 rubles. gross income, then the tax is less than 100 rubles. will certainly attract increased attention of the tax authorities.
Being on the general system of taxation, business entities operating exclusively in the field of waste management of ferrous and non-ferrous metals are exempted from income tax.
Value added tax p is calculated at a rate of 1.5% of the total turnover of the enterprise - the amount of advances received and issued invoices / acts.
The following are exempt from value added tax on the general system:
— financial institutions carrying out currency exchange operations in accordance with the procedure established by the legislation;
- payers of agricultural tax;
- business entities engaged in the extraction and processing of coal and coal products;
- business entities operating exclusively in the field of waste management of ferrous and non-ferrous metals;
- business entities that, in accordance with the procedure established by law, received the status of a paying agent (subagent), an operator for receiving payments, carrying out on the territory of the DPR economic activity for receiving payments from individuals using payment terminals;
- enterprises receiving funds for the work performed exclusively from the republican and / or local budgets of the DPR in accordance with the functional classification of budget expenditures 150120 "Construction and development of the metro network".
You need to report on both taxes every month - until the 20th day (inclusive) of the month following the reporting one.
In what cases is there no choice and, according to the law, it is possible to carry out activities only on the common system?
You will not find such a list in the Law "On the Tax System" of the DPR itself. But if you analyze and compare all 3 taxation systems with all restrictions, you get 2 main conditions:
- the annual gross income is over 60 million rubles;
- number employees more than 10 people.
At the same time, even if the above conditions are met, there is no escape from the general system if you carry out the following activities:
- trade in fuels and lubricants;
- trade in alcoholic beverages and tobacco products;
- production and trade of pharmaceutical products;
- currency exchange;
- business management activities;
- provision of financial and insurance services;
- activities in the field of public catering, with some exceptions;
- issue of payment documents, payment cards, etc .;
- engineering and other services related to the preparation technical specifications, project proposals, scientific research etc.;
- accepting payments from individuals using payment terminals by operators for receiving payments.
If we consider it as a whole, the general taxation system is still more typical for legal entities than for sole proprietorship.
Individual entrepreneurs are most often registered for the provision of any services, or for trading in the markets and do not imply the presence of a large number of employees. And this fits well into the conditions for obtaining a patent or a simplified system.
Deputy of the National Assembly of the DPR of the "Free Donbass" faction, Deputy Chairman of the National Assembly Committee on Budget, Finance and economic policy talked about the pros and cons of the overall system.
PROS AND CONS
The undoubted advantage of the common system is the ability to regulate the tax burden with expenditures.
If your expenses exceeded your income in one month, you can declare them just enough to reach a load of 1%. The rest can be shown in other reporting periods when expenses will not be enough.
The disadvantage is the need to constantly monitor and track expenses - which of them can be included in the declaration, and which have already been taken into account in previous periods.
Also, the disadvantages include the need to additionally report on value added tax. The base of taxation in income tax and sales tax has some differences, so this will also have to be considered carefully in order to avoid possible penalties for mistakes.
In real conditions, it is necessary to take into account all the features of a particular business entity. And only you can determine which of the taxation systems is right for your company.

The size of the payment depended on the size of the company's turnover, the volume of final sales was not taken into account, so the payers did not have time to adjust to the dynamics of demand in the market.
"Tax holidays" in the USSR were provided to enterprises of local and regional subordination, which manufactured products exclusively from local raw materials. The replacement of the turnover tax with the modern VAT took place in 1992, at the time of the adoption of Law No. 2118-1, which establishes new principles of taxation in the Russian Federation.
Features of calculating value added tax
Technically, the turnover tax is an indirect universal excise tax based on the total volume of production at the enterprise. Majority developed economies(e.g. Estonian) applies value added tax, economic sense which is equal to the Russian VAT.The amount of value added tax to be paid (or returned) is calculated as the difference between the accrued and included tax (taxes on imported goods and services rendered by non-residents). The total payment amount is adjusted for the tax-exempt turnover amount. For example, in Kazakhstan, the sale of excise stamps, lottery tickets and services in the field of international transportation are exempt from tax.
- Turnover tax can be calculated as the difference between the wholesale and retail prices of goods (excluding discounts) or at a fixed rate per unit of production (for example, a kilogram of mortar, cubic meter of wood). The third method is the calculation of percent of the total turnover, it is applied in the case of unspecified wholesale prices for goods.
- Taxable items include sales transactions finished products, the supply of raw materials, materials and goods to other countries (for business purposes), as well as personal consumption, domestic turnover of the state, imported goods (services).
- Subjects paying turnover tax are registered enterprises (legal entities), counterparties (recipients of incoming invoices indicating the amount of tax), buyers of foreign goods and services (not for personal use).
- Turnover tax is charged on a monthly basis, taking into account the time of sale - the moment of receipt of payment, shipment of products, the fact of rendering a service to a client of the company. The accrual is carried out taking into account the earliest event. For example, payment for kitchen furniture was received three days before shipment - VAT is payable within a month from the first date.
Disadvantages of value added tax
The turnover tax in the Russian Federation was transformed into VAT due to a number of peculiarities.- High tax burden on small businesses - sales tax was levied on the last link in the supply chain. This role was played by small enterprises (trading houses, shops).
- Reduced turnover tax rates (up to 10%) are most effective, otherwise the business is forced to introduce "gray" schemes and hide profits from the state.
- The "cascade" principle of tax calculation - deductions are made from each transaction, therefore, with a long supply chain (typical for Russian economy) mediation becomes unprofitable.
The specifics of determining and paying value added tax are determined (as amended) (hereinafter referred to as the Law).
The payers of value added tax are legal entities and individuals - entrepreneurs who are on the general taxation system (i.e. payers of income tax).
Are not payers of value added tax:
Financial institutions carrying out currency exchange operations in accordance with the procedure established by law;
Agricultural tax payers;
Non-profit organizations, institutions, enterprises - in terms of income received that are not subject to income tax;
Simplified tax payers;
Business entities engaged in the extraction and processing of coal and coal products;
Business entities operating exclusively in the field of waste management of ferrous and non-ferrous metals;
Business entities that, in accordance with the procedure established by law, received the status of a paying agent (subagent), an operator for receiving payments, carrying out economic activities on the territory of the Donetsk People's Republic to receive payments from individuals using payment terminals;
Enterprises receiving funds for the work performed exclusively from the republican and / or local budgets of the Donetsk People's Republic in accordance with the functional classification of budget expenditures 150120 "Construction and development of the subway network";
Housing and communal enterprises of the state or municipal form of ownership, enterprises of urban auto-, electric transport, road maintenance (road maintenance), green economy (improvement), outdoor lighting of the state or municipal form of ownership;
State-owned enterprises (the share of state ownership in which is 75 percent or more), except for enterprises engaged in the import, sale of fuels and lubricants
The payment of value added tax does not exempt a payer who is in the general taxation system from paying taxes established by the Law, including income tax.
Object of taxation with value added tax(i.e., what is taken into account for its calculation) is the revenue (income) received by the payer in the reporting period, which for these purposes is defined as a set of sold (shipped) products, work performed (services provided ) (regardless of whether they were paid or not) and received prepayments (advances). The object of taxation, expressed in value form, will be basis for calculating value added tax.
If, in subsequent periods, prepayments are returned to the buyer or the goods (products) are returned from the buyer, the tax base is reduced by the amount of such refunds in the period in which they were made (returned).
value added tax determined by the "first event" rule, those. within the reporting period, the date of the event that occurred earlier →
date of shipment of goods(confirmed by the invoice), and for works, services - the date of execution of the document, which testifies to the fact of delivery of works, services by the taxpayer, the date of sale of goods, which is noted in the report of the commission agent (agent), in the case of the sale of goods under a commission agreement (agency agreement ).
date of payment- date of enrollment Money, to the bank account of the taxpayer or the receipt of funds from the buyer (customer) to his cashier's office, as payment for goods, works, services to be supplied, i.e. prepayment (advance payment)
An exception are taxpayers of republican or municipal forms of ownership, who can also calculate the date of occurrence of the object of taxation on a cash basis (at their choice).

Real estate seller in Donetsk lives outside the DPR: what about taxes? Part 2
If the problem can be resolved, it is hardly worth worrying about.
If the problem is insoluble, worrying about it is pointless.
The owner of real estate in Donetsk, living outside the DPR, decided to sell it. I arrived in Donetsk and the notary was in for a surprise - he learned that, before the deal was concluded, he had to pay 10% tax on the appraised value of the real estate sold! And what to do?
First of all, let's find out when this situation is possible. Since sellers and buyers of real estate are more often individuals (citizens, Foreign citizens and stateless persons, including non-residents who receive income not related to entrepreneurial activity from operations (payments, except social payments, as well as bank transfers between individuals) held on the territory of the DPR - Art. 15.6 of the Donetsk People's Republic Law "On the Tax System" hereinafter referred to as "Law"), then the conversation about taxation will concern only them, may legal entities forgive me! From the Law we learn real estate tax rates:
Payment type
For a resident
For non-resident
Art. Of the law
Bid, %
Art. Of the law
Bid, %
The value of inheritance or gifts not from persons of the first degree of kinship (parents, children, spouses)
amounts from the sale (exchange) of immovable objects or movable property no more than once a year
amounts from the sale (exchange) of immovable or movable property more than 1 time per year
the amount from the lease of property, lease (sublease), rental of residential and non-residential real estate for rent
According to Art. 122.8 of the Law, when performing notarial acts, a notary will act as a tax agent in terms of calculating income tax on the amount of income received by an individual from the sale of real estate - he will calculate and check the completeness of the transfer by an individual, including a non-resident, of the corresponding amount of income tax to the budget of the DPR.
The income tax calculated by the notary must be paid by the seller of the real estate prior to the performance of the notarial actions through the bank at the location of the notary's workplace (notary's office), and received by the notary payment document on the transfer of tax to the budget, will be the basis for the commission of notarial actions.
And so that life does not seem like honey to the seller, the Law obliged a notary (Article 122.8.1):
- check by the registration number of the taxpayer registration card of the seller or series and the number of the passport the number of cases of sale of real estate in tax year according to the data of the Register of registration of notarial acts;
- determine the amount of income of the taxpayer from the sale of the property based on the price specified in the purchase and sale agreement (exchange), but not less than the estimated value of such real estate calculated by the subject appraisal activities in accordance with the current legislation of the DPR on property valuation, and, as we already wrote, assessed value will be 1.5-2 times higher than the market.
Any sane person will say that in order to avoid paying taxes or minimize them, you need to be or become a resident of the DPR.
What is a resident... There is no such concept in the legislation of the DPR, but no one bothers about it.
Whether the seller is resident or not, the notary will determine by registering his place of residence. Please note: stay, not stay! Who cares? Accommodation is permanent, and stay is temporary registration, for six months. To confirm the status of a resident, the notary will require the seller to show him a passport, if the seller has a passport of Ukraine, then an address certificate from the DNR migration service and a registration card from a subscriber service or a company serving the house.
To date, the following situation has developed with the registration of the place of residence: there is the migration service of Ukraine and there is the migration service of the DPR. These are different services that do not interact with each other.
In connection with this duality, two groups of real estate sellers have formed in Donetsk:
1) living in Ukraine and having the status of forced migrants. In the Migration Service of Ukraine, they receive a temporary registration of their place of residence without marking it in the passport, that is, they have a Donetsk "residence permit" in their passport, and in the Migration Service of the DPR they still have registration of their place of residence and they are registered with a company serving the house. , that is, they are residents of the DPR;
2) who registered their place of residence in Ukraine after the start of the war. In the migration service of Ukraine, they "checked out" from Donetsk and "registered" in Ukraine, in connection with which they made a note in their passport indicating their place of residence, and if they received a new passport ( plastic card), then they are obliged to present "The Knight from the One Sovereign Demographic Registry for the Restructuring of the Residence", and they still have registration of place of residence and they remained registered with the company servicing the house - they have to pay for water, gas and garbage, but they are no longer residents of the DPR! Why? The answer is simple: the last action will cancel the previous one, that is, by comparing the dates of registration of the place of residence in the passport (in the extract) and the registration card of the service company, the notary will quickly determine the status of the seller and charge the tax in accordance with the Law.
In this situation, a person who is going to inherit real estate, sell it or rent it out must register his place of residence in the DPR before making a transaction. After registration, he will receive an address certificate, since the stamp about "registration" is put only in the DPR passport (the marks in the Ukrainian passport will remain the same). Based on this reference Management Company will register the owner (start the card). And only then the seller will become a resident of the DPR and can go to the notary.
No, of course, if the seller has a lot of money, you can do without these troubles and just pay the tax - this is everyone's personal business, because a person exercises his civil rights freely, at his own discretion (part 1 of article 12 of the Civil Code of Ukraine)!
If the seller, for various reasons, finds it difficult to register his place of residence on his own, the Alfa-City Housing Bureau is always at his service.
Inheritance tax in the DNR
What if a person died in the DPR / LPR, and the property is located on the territory of Ukraine?
In view of the current situation, many people, showing their ignorance in the legal field, believe that a document certifying the fact of death (death certificate) issued by the authorities state registration acts of civil status of the DPR / LPR are also valid on the territory of Ukraine. And on the basis of them, it is possible to carry out the procedure for inheriting the property that remained within Ukraine.
However, it is not. State bodies Ukraine does not recognize documents issued on the territory of the Republics, including death certificates. How to be in this situation, if it is nevertheless necessary to enter into inheritance ?!
Obviously, the inheritance procedure will be carried out exclusively in accordance with Ukrainian laws. Thus, the main component of the entire chain is obtaining a Ukrainian death certificate.
To date, this procedure is as follows:
The final stage will be an appeal to a Ukrainian notary to carry out the inheritance procedure on the basis of the already received Ukrainian death certificate.

Income tax in the DPR
Income tax- This is a tax on personal income. As entrepreneurs, we usually encounter it when we pay salaries to employees or rent real estate from a physicist.
In addition, a number of incomes are levied on income tax, for which a citizen reports and pays independently. I will definitely write about how an individual can declare income for himself - and this post is about income tax from the point of view of an entrepreneur.
The amount of income tax in the DPR
The income tax rate on salaries of employees is 13%.
Please note that until November 23, 2015, there was also an increased rate of 20%, which was deducted from the amount of excess wages in excess of 20 thousand rubles. By order of the MDC DNR No. 395 increased rate canceled, so on this moment we deduct 13% from any salary, regardless of its size.
Income tax is levied on the wages of all employees, regardless of whether they work according to labor contracts, contracts, agreements of a civil nature or something else.
Also, you will have to withhold income tax if you rent property from an individual. This dubious happiness was presented to us by order of the IBC No. 313 dated 09/04/2015. The tax rate in this case is 20%, regardless of the amount of income.
For the employer, this is where it ends. And the notary speaks tax agent also when registering contracts of purchase and sale of real estate, cars, as well as when registering an inheritance. The notary immediately withholds income tax of 5% from these incomes.
Deadlines for payment of income tax
The relevant clauses of the interim regulation are written rather ambiguously. From their analysis, we get the following rules:
If the settlement dates are not separately stipulated and the employee receives a salary on a general basis in accordance with the law "On remuneration" - in this case, income tax is transferred simultaneously with the payment of wages to the employee.
If the contract establishes specific dates for settlements with the employee, income tax must be transferred by the last day of the month in which the income was paid. This rule usually applies to GPC agreements, according to which instead of monthly payments the work can be paid as a one-time payment upon completion.
Income tax is not transferred from accrued but not paid on time wages until the actual payment of income. This opinion is based both on clause 31.1.1.1 of the interim regulation and on the fact that in the income tax return there is no column “accrued income / tax” at all.
Accountability and responsibility
The income tax declaration is an obvious clone of the Ukrainian 1DF, and has inherited the worst from it: it does not have a column for the full name, and if you do not have 3 or 5 employees, then TINs without surnames will quickly begin to ripple in your eyes. Unfortunately, unlike in Ukraine, in the DPR this report has to be filled in by hand. Greatly trains memory - soon you will know the INNs of employees by heart.
The declaration must be submitted monthly, by the 15th. If there were no payments, the report is not formally submitted. In reality, it is not served either, but be prepared that they will call you and instead ask you to bring a letter, saying "there were no payments to individuals, there is nothing to report about."
Also, the report is also required to be submitted “to in electronic format"- another excel file is hidden under this loud name, which will also need to be filled in with your hands and carried with your feet on a USB flash drive.
The penalty for failure to submit an income tax declaration in the DPR is a paltry 10% of the amount of the declared tax. Compared with the Ukrainian UAH 510 is a mere penny.
Penalty for late payment of income tax - 50% of the amount of the underpayment. For some reason, liability for income tax is stipulated in a separate clause 57.1-1 of the provisions on the tax system, although the penalty and the grounds for its application are the same as for any other tax.

The head of the Ministry of Justice paid special attention to the rates of taxation of transactions with real estate and the need for expert assessment in the implementation of such actions.
Elena Radomskaya recalled that real estate transactions certified on the territory of Ukraine are recognized as invalid in the DPR.
To legalize such actions in the DPR, you must contact interdepartmental commission on the legalization of documents at the Ministry of Justice of the DPR.
The simplified taxation system in the DPR is currently available to both legal entities and individual entrepreneurs. There are three groups of simplified tax payers. However, the third group is a specific case for coal miners and those SPDs that process and sell coal. That is, the majority of entrepreneurs can become payers of the simplified tax of the first and second groups.

Economy of the DPR, part 2: tax system
For what and how much do its inhabitants pay to the unrecognized republic?
"Does the DPR have its own tax system?" - asked the author of these lines with sincere surprise, one of the interlocutors who learned that we are working on an article on this topic. Yes, the unrecognized DPR has its own tax system, and for a long time. The first version of the Donetsk People's Republic Law "On the Tax System" was adopted in December 2015, and since then it has gone through more than 10 serious revisions.
TIMER journalists tried to figure out what taxes and how individuals and legal entities of the unrecognized republic pay, and how the DPR taxation system differs from the one that exists in Ukraine.
Two whales
The tax system of Ukraine is based on three “whales”: corporate income tax, personal income tax (personal income tax), and value added tax (VAT). In the DPR, there are two of these three taxes: income tax and personal income tax.
Most Ukrainian enterprises pay income tax at a rate of 18%, although there are exceptions: for example, insurance activities taxed at a rate of 3%. More than high rate: 20%, provided preferential rate at 0% for coal mining enterprises.
Another important difference is reporting period... In Ukraine, income tax is paid by most businesses once a quarter. In the DPR, the reporting period is set at one month. That is, the reports that Ukrainian enterprises prepare and submit every three months are forced to prepare in the DPR on a monthly basis - a hefty "haemorrhoid" for accountants.
The second problem is the differences between accounting and tax accounting, i.e. what is included in income and expenses from the point of view of the enterprise, and what is "recognized" in this sense by the tax. In Ukraine in last years tried to minimize the differences between tax and accounting, allowing to deduct from income when calculating taxable profit, almost all types of expenses, with the exception of exceptions separately listed in the Tax Code - “ tax differences". In the DPR, the reverse system operates: the law "On Taxation" provides for a very specific list of expenses that can be considered as such when calculating the amount of taxable profit. Everything else in terms of tax expenditures is not.
On the one hand, such a system is much less progressive and much more bureaucratic than the one that operates in Ukraine. On the other hand, in Ukraine, for a long time, almost no one paid real income tax: perhaps the DPR decided to “tighten the screws” so as not to end up in the same situation.
The same motives can explain other nuances of the administration of income tax in the DPR. For example, when selling goods and services at a price below cost, the seller must include the difference between the cost and the stated selling price in revenues. Obviously, this measure is designed to close one of the common tax evasion schemes, but in fact it looks very strange from the outside.
The approach to enterprises that have suffered a loss in one period or another deserves attention: they are officially prohibited from redistributing this loss for subsequent periods, thereby reducing the tax base, and declaring losses six times a year gives fiscal officials the right to come to the enterprise with an extraordinary check.
The idea of prohibiting the transfer of losses from one period to another is the golden dream of Ukrainian fiscal officials of all years of independence. It was implemented unofficially - through the prohibition to submit "negative" declarations, officially - through the prohibition to carry forward losses in full (it was allowed to "use" losses only in a few parts over a number of years), more than once they tried to push through the rule on the complete prohibition of transferring losses between periods ... The dreams of Ukrainian tax authorities in the DPR have become a reality, and this openly repressive fiscal practice can only be justified by the emergency state of the DPR economy.
Second rate key tax- on the income of individuals, or personal income tax, in the DPR is significantly less than in Ukraine: 13% instead of 18% for most types of income.
But in the DPR, the rate of the single social contribution is higher, which is paid from the salaries of employees: it is 31% versus 22%, for budgetary organizations foreseen reduced rate at 28%. Thus, cumulative load for wages in the DPR is 44% (13% of personal income tax + 31% of ERUs) versus 40% in Ukraine (18% of personal income tax + 22% of ERUs).
Passive income (interest, dividends, etc.) both in the DPR and in Ukraine are taxed at a rate of 5%.
In general, when comparing taxation in Ukraine and in the DPR for these two types of taxes, it should be recognized that the corresponding Ukrainian legislation is more mature and modern, while the DPR legislation is more bureaucratic in nature, and in addition, it looks quite complicated to implement ...
VAT VS Sales Tax
Value added tax - the notorious VAT - also plays a key role in the Ukrainian tax system. This is an indirect tax, i.e. tax, which is, as it were, included in the price of the goods - it is considered that the buyer pays it. As the name implies, this tax is levied on value added - that is, the difference between the price at which a product or service is sold and the amount of the cost of providing it. The tax rate in Ukraine today is 20% (7% for medicines and medical equipment).
V general outline The process of collecting this tax can be illustrated with the following example. The mining company sells resources to the manufacturer for 100 hryvnia. These 100 hryvnias include VAT at 20% of this amount - i.e. 20 hryvnia. This money is added to the sale price: the buyer pays it to the seller, who is obliged to transfer it to the budget (“price including VAT”). This is what is called: tax liability... And from the point of view of the buyer-manufacturer, these 20 hryvnias are a tax credit - that is, the state, as it were, “remembers” that it has already paid these very 20 hryvnias of VAT.
The manufacturer makes goods from the purchased resources, which he sells to the distributor for 150 hryvnia. In this case, VAT will amount to 30 hryvnia, respectively, the buyer-distributor must pay 180 hryvnia to the seller-manufacturer, of which he must give 30 to the budget. However, the manufacturer has tax credit at 20 hryvnia, i.e. he pays to the budget only 10. And 30 hryvnia becomes a tax credit for the distributor.
Finally, the distributor sells the product to the end consumer for 300 hryvnia, to which is added 20%, or 60 hryvnia VAT. At the expense of these 60 hryvnias, the distributor nullifies his tax credit of 30 hryvnias, and the rest, i.e. another 30 hryvnia, gives to the state.
Ultimately, the state will receive the same 60 hryvnia from the entire chain of transactions that the final buyer paid. This is why VAT is called consumption tax.
However, this is simply only in this specific example... In fact, when calculating VAT, there are a lot of subtleties and nuances, which makes it one of the most difficult to administer and capacious in terms of ways of tax evasion, corruption and fraud.
So, in the DPR all these subtleties are not. Instead of 20% value added tax, they charge 1.5% sales tax. It is considered much simpler: 1.5% of the cost of the goods, which each of the sellers pays at each stage of the chain. In our case, first, 1.5% of 100 hryvnias are subject to payment to the budget, then 1.5% of 150 hryvnias, etc. The total amount of the payment will be 7 hryvnia 25 kopecks - instead of 60 hryvnia under the Ukrainian system.
However, there are only 3 elements in our chain. But imagine if there are, say, 20 such steps? In the case of VAT, this does not matter: the same amount will be paid to the budget as the end customer pays. But with a sales tax, each step in the chain means another 1.5% of tax payments - and a corresponding rise in the price of goods.
On the other hand, the indisputable advantage of the sales tax is its relative simplicity, in addition, it is convenient and not burdensome in the case of short production chains, at each stage of which significant added value is created. It is also beneficial for large vertically integrated companies, in which both production and distribution are carried out by different divisions of the same firm. But it is unprofitable for resellers of various kinds.
Simplified taxation system
As you know, there are three groups of "simplified" in Ukraine. The first group is business entities that carry out retail trade in the markets, they do not use the labor of hired workers and whose income does not exceed 300 thousand hryvnia per year. These entrepreneurs pay a single tax with a flat rate of 160 hryvnia per month, and besides, a single tax social contribution 352 hryvnia monthly.
The second group of single tax payers are entrepreneurs who sell goods and provide services to individuals who have no more than 10 employees and an annual income of no more than 1.5 million hryvnia. They also have a flat rate of 640 hryvnia - plus a single social contribution of 704 hryvnia.
The third group of payers can work with legal entities, as well as have an unlimited number of employees, but the income of such enterprises cannot exceed 5 million hryvnia per year. Representatives of the third group pay the state 5% of the proceeds, as well as a single social contribution of 704 hryvnia.
Finally, the fourth group of "simplified" - agricultural enterprises that pay depending on the area of land they cultivate.
The system that exists in the DPR is both similar and not similar to the Ukrainian one at the same time.
For those who in Ukraine would belong to the first and partially the second group of single tax payers, in the unrecognized DPR there is a so-called. patent system. It works simply: by paying some fixed amount, the entrepreneur gets rid of all other taxes in principle.
Select patent system Taxation can be made by entrepreneurs selling goods in the markets, as well as outside them - but only for a specific list of goods (bakery products, vegetables and fruits, ice cream, soft drinks, flowers, children's toys, etc.). In addition, those who provide services to the population (road transport, hairdressing services, tutoring, repair of clothes, shoes and household appliances) can switch to the patent system.
The maximum amount of income for entrepreneurs who have chosen the patent system cannot exceed 1 million rubles a year, or about half a million hryvnias - that is, more than for the first group of payers in Ukraine, but less than for the second. In addition, "patent holders" can attract hired workers (for certain types of activities, as a rule, no more than three people).
The cost of a patent also depends on the type of activity, but for most of them it is 510 rubles (about 250 hryvnia) per month.
This is followed by the actual simplified system taxation in the form in which it is implemented in the DPR. There are also groups of payers - only three, not four, as in Ukraine. It is important to note that the legislation of the DPR imposes much fewer restrictions on the “simplified” than the Ukrainian one: for example, all groups of payers can work with legal entities.
The first group - entrepreneurs who have no more than 1.5 million rubles (about 750 thousand hryvnia) annual income and no more than 10 employees. They are exempt from paying income tax and sales tax and instead pay single tax 2.5% of the actual receipt of funds (from the "cash desk").
The second group has no restrictions on the number of employees, and its income is limited to 60 million rubles per month - i.e. almost 30 million hryvnia (for comparison, the most flexible group of the simplified system in Ukraine provides for a maximum income of 5 million hryvnia). Payers of the second group of "simplified" in the DPR pay the state 6% of the receipts of funds (for comparison, the third group of the Single Tax in Ukraine pays 5%).
True, there are some restrictions: only manufacturers of goods, works and services, importers, as well as those who sell goods and services to individuals for their personal needs (not for resale or other use in the framework of entrepreneurial activity) can switch to the second group of the simplified system. For example, various resellers- wholesale trading bases, etc.
Also, the simplified system is not suitable for those who sell alcohol and tobacco products, fuel, provide insurance and Financial services etc. A separate clause prohibits a simplified system for public catering enterprises - cafes, restaurants and others.
Entrepreneurs of the first and second groups of single tax payers also pay a social contribution of 600 rubles, i.e. about 300 hryvnia per month. For comparison, in Ukraine, entrepreneurs of the first group pay 352 hryvnia ERUs per month, the second and third - 704 hryvnia.
The third group of single tax payers are structures engaged in the extraction and processing of coal with an annual income of up to 240 million rubles. For such enterprises, the single tax rate is 3% of turnover - it seems that this rate was introduced specifically in order to sell small coal mines - artels, or the so-called. "Kopanki".
In general, the simplified taxation system in the DPR seems to be much more flexible and convenient than the existing one in Ukraine.

The maximum amount of income for entrepreneurs who have chosen the patent system cannot exceed 1 million rubles a year, or about half a million hryvnias - that is, more than for the first group of payers in Ukraine, but less than for the second. In addition, "patent holders" can attract hired workers (for certain types of activities, as a rule, no more than three people).
The cost of a patent also depends on the type of activity, but for most of them it is 510 rubles (about 250 hryvnia) per month.
This is followed by the actual simplified taxation system in the form in which it is implemented in the DPR. There are also groups of payers - only three, not four, as in Ukraine. It is important to note that the legislation of the DPR imposes much fewer restrictions on the “simplified” than the Ukrainian one: for example, all groups of payers can work with legal entities.
The first group - entrepreneurs who have no more than 1.5 million rubles (about 750 thousand hryvnia) annual income and no more than 10 employees. They are exempt from paying income tax and sales tax, and instead pay a single tax of 2.5% of the actual receipt of funds (from the "cash").
The second group has no restrictions on the number of employees, and its income is limited to 60 million rubles per month - i.e. almost 30 million hryvnia (for comparison, the most flexible group of the simplified system in Ukraine provides for a maximum income of 5 million hryvnia). Payers of the second group of "simplified" in the DPR pay the state 6% of the receipts of funds (for comparison, the third group of the Single Tax in Ukraine pays 5%).
True, there are some restrictions: only manufacturers of goods, works and services, importers, as well as those who sell goods and services to individuals for their personal needs (not for resale or other use in the framework of entrepreneurial activity) can switch to the second group of the simplified system. For example, various resellers - wholesale trading bases, etc., cannot use this system.
Also, the simplified system is not suitable for those who sell alcohol and tobacco products, fuel, provide insurance and financial services, etc. A separate clause prohibits a simplified system for public catering enterprises - cafes, restaurants and others.
Entrepreneurs of the first and second groups of single tax payers also pay a social contribution of 600 rubles, i.e. about 300 hryvnia per month. For comparison, in Ukraine, entrepreneurs of the first group pay 352 hryvnia ERUs per month, the second and third - 704 hryvnia.
The third group of single tax payers are structures engaged in the extraction and processing of coal with an annual income of up to 240 million rubles. For such enterprises, the single tax rate is 3% of turnover - it seems that this rate was introduced specifically in order to sell small coal mines - artels, or the so-called. "Kopanki".
In general, the simplified taxation system in the DPR seems to be much more flexible and convenient than the existing one in Ukraine.
