Commentary on Art. 264 Tax Code of the Russian Federation

1. Rules of paragraph 1 of Art. 264 are devoted to an independent type of costs associated with production and sales, namely the costs specified in subpara. 6 p. 1 art. 253 and sub. 4 p. 2 art. 253 of the Tax Code (see comments to them). At the same time, in Art. 264 other expenses are listed in a non-exhaustive way: taxpayers have the right to include other types of expenses not specified in Art. 254 - 263, 265, 270 of the Tax Code, see comments. to them. Other expenses (and they must be inextricably linked with production and (or) sales) include:

1) the amounts of taxes and fees accrued in accordance with the legislation Russian Federation about taxes and fees. In this regard, a question arose in practice: if a taxpayer has accrued taxes in accordance with a legal act of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation that does not meet the requirements of Art. 4 - 6 of the Tax Code, can the amount of such tax be included in other expenses? No, you can't: that would be contrary to Art. 264 NK. The following taxes are not included in other expenses:

Presented (in accordance with the Tax Code) by the taxpayer to the buyer (for example, VAT amounts), see comments about this. to paragraph 19 of Art. 270 NK;

If they were previously included by the taxpayer in expenses when writing off accounts payable for these taxes, see comments about this. to Art. 251 and paragraph 34 of Art. 270 NK;

2) the cost of certification of products and services. In doing so, it must be taken into account that:

a) in accordance with Art. 1 of the Law on Certification, certification of products and services is an activity to confirm the conformity of products and services with established safety requirements, environmental protection, etc.;

b) certification can be mandatory or voluntary (Art. 7, 17 of the Certification Law). In this regard, the question arose: do other costs include the costs of voluntary certification? Yes, include: sub. 2 p. 1 art. 264 does not prevent this. The list of goods, works, services subject to mandatory certification is approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of 13.08.97 N 1013;

3) the amount of commission fees and other similar expenses for the performed third parties works (services rendered). In doing so, it must be taken into account that:

a) the norms of the current Civil Code operate with other concepts: "commission", "remuneration to an attorney", "remuneration to an agent", etc. The legislator probably needs to return to this issue, because the concepts of "commission fees" and "other similar expenses" do not correspond to Art. 972, 991, 1006 GK;

b) to other similar expenses referred to in subpara. 3 p. 1 art. 264, include, in particular, the costs of paying for the services of freight forwarders of warehouses, persons acting in someone else's interest without instructions, etc.;

4) port amounts, etc. fees expressly referred to in sub. 4 p. 1 art. 264. At the same time, the payment of such fees must be documented (Article 252 of the Tax Code);

5) the amount of paid lifting allowances (these amounts are paid, for example, in accordance with Article 116 of the Labor Code when employees of the organization move to work in another area). In doing so, the following must be taken into account:

Payment of lifting in cases not expressly provided for by the current legislation, in subpara. 5 p. 1 art. 264 is not meant;

Other expenses include amounts of lifting fees that do not exceed the limits established by law;

6) the cost of paying for the services listed in sub. 6 p. 1 art. 264. For the correct application of sub. 6 p. 1 art. 264 you need to keep in mind that:

a) expenses for the said services rendered to the taxpayer by other organizations shall be included in other expenses only if there is an agreement for the provision of compensated services. If the service is provided by an individual entrepreneur, then the provisions of subpara. 41 p. 1 art. 264 (see commentary on it);

b) the costs of maintaining your own security service are not related to labor costs (see the latest comments on Article 255 of the Tax Code), but to other costs: not only by banks, but also by other organizations that take measures to preserve goods - material assets;

c) other expenses do not include the costs of purchasing weapons, equipment (for example, uniforms), other means of special protection (helmets, shields, batons, gloves, etc.);

7) taxpayer's expenses:

a) to ensure normal working conditions and safety precautions (for example, for the purchase of mittens, medicinal milk, salted carbonated water, overalls, safety shoes) in cases provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation (for example, this is provided for in Articles 148 - 152 of the Labor Code, in the norms of OZOHT);

b) for the treatment of occupational diseases of workers employed in work with harmful or difficult working conditions. Wherein:

The specified work must be included in the Heavy Work List;

The taxpayer must confirm the implementation of the mentioned expenses with documents, the list of which is approved by the Order of the Ministry of Health of Russia dated May 28, 2001 N 176 "On Improving the System for Investigating and Recording Occupational Diseases in the Russian Federation". This list includes: notification of the establishment of a preliminary diagnosis of an acute or chronic occupational disease (poisoning); sanitary and hygienic characteristics of the working conditions of an employee in case of suspicion of an occupational disease (poisoning); notification of the establishment of the final diagnosis of an acute or chronic occupational disease (poisoning), its clarification or cancellation; record card of occupational disease (poisoning); register of occupational diseases (poisoning);

8) recruitment costs, including:

With the so-called organized recruitment, carried out (under agreements with the taxpayer) by state employment agencies (included in the system public service employment);

Recognizing that it was unlawful for the applicant to attribute the costs of consulting services of a notary to expenses that reduce taxable profits, the courts referred to non-compliance with the condition provided for by subparagraph 16 of paragraph 1 of Article 264 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, according to which the taxpayer's expenses in the form of a notary's fee for notarial registration are accepted within the approved tariffs ...

    Consequently, at the time of the inspectorate's decision (December 31, 2014), the taxpayer had no obligation to pay the additional accrued MET and, accordingly, there was no expense in the form of assessed tax, provided for by subparagraph 1 of paragraph 1 of Article 264 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, in the amount specified in the decision of the inspectorate ...

    Clause 4 of Article 264 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation refers to the organization's expenses for advertising in order to calculate income tax. This paragraph is divided into four paragraphs. In paragraph 2 it is said about the cost of advertising in the media, in paragraph 3 - about the cost of outdoor advertising, in paragraph 4 - about the cost of participating in exhibitions. According to paragraph 5, clause 4, article 264 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, expenses for the acquisition (manufacturing) of prizes awarded to the winners of drawings during promotions, as well as expenses for other types of advertising for tax purposes are recognized in an amount not exceeding 1% of revenue.
    Based on the structure of clause 4 of Article 264 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, it can be concluded that the cost rationing applies only to the costs of prizes, as well as to other advertising costs not listed in paragraphs 2 - 4.
    At the time of preparation of the answer, the State Duma was considering a draft federal law "On the introduction of amendments and additions to the second part of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation and to certain legislative acts Russian Federation". This draft, among other things, provides for amendments to paragraph 4 of Article 264 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. It is proposed to replace the words of paragraph 5 of paragraph 4 "for other types of advertising" with the words "other types of advertising not specified in paragraphs 2 - 4 of this paragraph".
    Thus, the prepared amendments confirm that the costs of advertising in the media, outdoor advertising and participation in exhibitions should be accepted for tax purposes without restrictions.

    Question:

    On the application of subparagraph 29, paragraph 1, article 264 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation in connection with the abolition of licensing and the introduction of self-regulation

    Answer:

    Federal tax service, in connection with requests from tax authorities regarding the introduction of a self-regulation system in certain areas of activity, in agreement with the Ministry of Finance of Russia (letter of the Department of Tax and Customs Tariff Policy dated March 27, 2009 No. 03-03-05 / 56) reports the following.

    According to Federal Law No. 148-FZ of July 22, 2008 “On Amendments to the Town Planning Code of the Russian Federation and Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation” (hereinafter referred to as Law No. 148-FZ), a self-regulation system based on the provisions of Federal Law No. 315-FZ of December 1, 2007 “On Self-Regulatory Organizations” (hereinafter referred to as - Law No. 315-FZ).

    1. Adopted amendments abolish the licensing system in construction activities, replacing it with self-regulation.

    At the same time, Law No. 148-FZ provides for the need for a transition period from licensing to self-regulation of activities in the construction industry.

    Until 01.01.2010 carrying out entrepreneurial activities for engineering surveys, architectural and construction design, construction, reconstruction, overhaul objects capital construction permitted at the choice of the contractor of the relevant types of work on the basis of:
    - a license issued in accordance with federal law dated 08.08.2001 No. 128-FZ “On Licensing Certain Types of Activities”;
    - certificates of admission to a certain type or types of work that affect the safety of capital construction facilities, issued by a self-regulatory organization in the field of engineering surveys, architectural and construction design, construction, reconstruction, overhaul of capital construction facilities in the manner established by the Town Planning Code of the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as the Town Planning Code).

    Articles 55.2 and 55.3 of the Town Planning Code establish that self-regulatory organizations are organizations created in the form of a non-profit partnership, based on the membership of persons performing engineering surveys, training project documentation carrying out construction.

    Thus, a non-profit organization based on membership is recognized as a self-regulating organization.

    Starting from 2010, works on engineering surveys, architectural and construction design, construction, reconstruction, overhaul of capital construction facilities that affect the safety of capital construction facilities will be carried out exclusively on the basis of a permit issued by a self-regulatory organization.

    A certificate of admission to a certain type or types of work that affect the safety of capital construction facilities is issued to a person accepted as a member of a self-regulatory organization (paragraph 6 of Article 55.6 of the Urban Planning Code).

    According to Article 55.10 of the Town Planning Code general meeting members of a self-regulatory organization establishes the amount and procedure for paying the entrance fee, regular membership fees and contributions to the compensation fund.

    Thus, according to the Town Planning Code, organizations that are members of a self-regulatory organization that have paid an entrance fee, a contribution to the compensation fund, and also paying regular membership fees are allowed to carry out work on engineering surveys, architectural and construction design, construction, reconstruction, overhaul of capital construction projects that affect the safety of capital construction projects.

    In accordance with paragraph 40 of Article 270 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation (hereinafter - the Tax Code of the Russian Federation), when determining tax base income tax does not take into account expenses in the form of contributions, contributions and other obligatory payments paid to non-profit organizations and international organizations, except for those specified in subparagraphs 29 and 30 of paragraph 1 of Article 264 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

    On the basis of subparagraph 29 of paragraph 1 of Article 264 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, other expenses associated with production and sale include contributions, contributions and other obligatory payments paid to non-profit organizations, if the payment of such contributions, deposits and other obligatory payments is a condition for the implementation of activities by taxpayers - payers of such contributions, deposits or other obligatory payments.

    Considering that the payment of an entrance fee, a contribution to a compensation fund, as well as regular membership fees to a self-regulatory organization is a condition for an organization to obtain permission to carry out work on engineering surveys, architectural and construction design, construction, reconstruction, overhaul of capital construction facilities that affect the safety of capital construction facilities, we believe that these payments for the purposes of taxation of profits should be considered as other expenses under subparagraph 29 of paragraph 1 of Article 264 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation .

    2. With regard to the accumulation of entrance fees, regular membership fees and contributions to the compensation fund by self-regulatory organizations, we inform you.

    In accordance with paragraph 2 of Article 251 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, when determining the tax base for income tax, targeted revenues are not taken into account (with the exception of targeted revenues in the form of excisable goods). Such targeted revenues include, in particular, targeted revenues for the maintenance of non-profit organizations and their statutory activities in the form of entrance and membership fees made in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation on non-profit organizations. At the same time, taxpayers - recipients of the specified targeted revenues are required to keep separate records of income (expenses) received (produced) within the framework of targeted revenues.

    Contributions to the compensation fund are not named in the specified list.

    However, in accordance with Article 55.4. of the Urban Planning Code, one of the requirements for a non-profit organization necessary for acquiring the status of a self-regulatory organization is the availability of a compensation fund.

    At the same time, the release of a member of a self-regulatory organization from the obligation to make a contribution to the compensation fund of a self-regulatory organization, including through his claims to a self-regulatory organization, is not allowed (Article 55.16).

    Considering that the civil legislation does not contain a definition of the concept of "entry fee to a self-regulatory organization", a contribution to the compensation fund of a self-regulatory organization, which is an essential condition for admission to membership in a self-regulatory organization and directed to the formation of property of a self-regulatory organization used purposefully for conducting statutory activities in the manner prescribed by the Town Planning Code, may be considered for the purposes of taxation of profits as part of the entrance fee to a self-regulatory organization. A similar position is set out in the letter of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated July 3, 2008 No. 03-03-05 / 69.

    In view of the above, income in the form of contributions to the compensation fund paid by members of a self-regulatory organization, for tax purposes, profits as part of the income of this self-regulatory organization are not taken into account.

    Articles 55.2 and 55.3 of the Town Planning Code establish that self-regulatory organizations- organizations created in the form of a non-profit partnership, based on the membership of persons performing engineering surveys, preparing project documentation, and carrying out construction.

    Thus, self-regulatory organization a non-profit organization based on membership is recognized.
    Starting from 2010, works on engineering surveys, architectural and construction design, construction, reconstruction, overhaul of capital construction facilities that affect the safety of capital construction facilities will be carried out exclusively on the basis of a permit issued by self-regulatory organization.

    2. With regard to the accumulation of entrance fees, regular membership fees and contributions to the compensation fund by self-regulatory organizations, we inform you.
