"


Export VAT refund

Under the export of goods (works, services) under Art. 97 of the Customs Code of the Russian Federation means the export of goods (works, services) from the customs territory of the Russian Federation abroad without an obligation to re-import.


In accordance with Article 164 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, taxation on value-added tax is made at a tax rate of 0 percent when selling goods exported under the customs export regime.


According to Article 165 of the Tax Code, the taxpayer must confirm the legality of applying the 0% tax rate by submitting to the tax authorities the tax declaration and documents listed in Article 165 of the Tax Code. The lawfulness of tax deductions made by the organization in connection with the export of goods is confirmed in the same manner.


To confirm the validity and legitimacy of applying the 0% tax rate and tax deductions for the value-added tax, the documents listed in Article 165 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation must be submitted in full, and meet all the requirements established by Art. 165 of the Tax Code.

In accordance with Article 165 of the Tax Code, the following documents are submitted to the tax authorities:

  • foreign economic contract of a taxpayer with a foreign person for the supply of goods outside the customs territory of the Russian Federation;
  • a statement of the bank confirming the actual receipt of proceeds from the sale of the said goods to a foreign person on the account of a taxpayer in a Russian bank;
  • cargo customs declaration (GTD) with the marks of the Russian customs authority that carried out the release of goods under the export regime and the Russian customs authority in whose region the checkpoint is located, through which the goods were transported outside the customs territory of the Russian Federation;
  • copies of transport, shipping documents and (or) other documents with the marks of border customs authorities confirming the export of goods outside the territory of the Russian Federation.

When calculating the value-added tax on transactions in the sale of goods taxation, which is made at a tax rate of 0%, the taxpayer has the right to make tax deductions provided for in Article 171 of the Tax Code.

At the same time, clause 3 of Article 172 of the Tax Code establishes the procedure for deducting value-added tax in respect of transactions for the sale of goods taxed at a tax rate of 0%. According to this procedure, these amounts of tax are deductible provided that the relevant documents provided for in Article 165 of the Tax Code are submitted to the tax authority, that is, at the time of determining the tax base established by Article 167 of the Tax Code.

In accordance with paragraph 4 of Article 176 of the Tax Code, tax deductions for the sale of goods taxed at a tax rate of 0% are subject to reimbursement by offsetting (return) on the basis of the tax declaration and documents provided for in Article 165 of the Tax Code. The compensation shall be made not later than three months, counting from the date of submission by the taxpayer of the tax declaration and documents provided for in Art. 165 of the Tax Code. During this period, the tax authority checks the validity of applying the 0% tax rate and tax deductions and makes a decision on reimbursement by offsetting or refunding the relevant amounts or refusing (in whole or in part) the refund.

In accordance with paragraph 9 of Article 165 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, these documents are submitted by the taxpayer for confirmation of the reasonableness of applying the 0% tax rate for the sale of goods not later than 180 days, counting from the date of placing the goods under the customs export regime. If these documents are not submitted after 180 calendar days, counting from the date of release of goods by customs authorities under the export customs regime, then the sale of these goods is subject to taxation at the rate of 18% (10%). This means that the taxpayer must include in the VAT tax base the value of the goods sold to the foreign buyer and, accordingly, calculate VAT from it and pay the tax to the budget.

If the taxpayer subsequently submits to the tax authorities documents (copies thereof) justifying the application of the tax rate of 0%, the tax amounts paid shall be refunded in the manner and under the conditions provided for in Article 176 of the Tax Code.

When determining the price of a sold product when concluding a contract (contract) with a foreign buyer, it is necessary to be guided by Article 40 of the Tax Code. According to paragraph 1 of Art. 40 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, for the purposes of taxation, the price of the goods specified by the parties to the transaction is accepted. Until proven otherwise, it is assumed that this price corresponds to the level of market prices.


Should VAT be calculated in respect of consulting services provided by a Russian organization directly to a foreign organization, rather than its representation in the territory of the Russian Federation?

Letter of the Ministry of Finance of Russia from 29.01.2010 № 03-07-08/21

The Tax and Customs Tariff Policy Department reviewed a letter on the application of value added tax in respect of consulting and marketing services provided by a Russian organization to a foreign organization that has a representative office in the Russian Federation and reports the following.

In accordance with par. 1 p. 1 of Art. 146 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as the "Code"), the object of taxation of value added tax is the sale of goods (works, services) in the territory of the Russian Federation.

The procedure for determining the location of the implementation of works (services) for the purpose of applying the value added tax is established by the norms of Art. 148 of the Code. So, according to the provisions of paragraphs. 4 p. 1 and par. 4 of item 1.1 of this article of the Code, the place for the implementation of consulting and marketing services is determined at the place of business of the buyer acquiring such services. In this case, the territory of the Russian Federation is considered the place of activity of the buyer of services in the case of the actual presence of the buyer of these services on the basis of state registration of the organization, or in its absence - on the basis of the location specified in the constituent documents of the organization, the location of the organization, the location of its permanently operating executive body , the location of the permanent establishment, if the services are provided through this permanent establishment.

Thus, the territory of the Russian Federation is not recognized as a place for the implementation of consulting and marketing services rendered by a Russian organization directly to a foreign organization, and not its representation, and, accordingly, such services are not subject to value added tax on the territory of the Russian Federation.

At the same time we inform that this letter of the Department does not contain legal norms or general rules specifying the regulatory requirements and is not a normative legal act. In accordance with Letter No. 03-02-07 / 2-138 of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation of 07.08.2007, the sent opinion of the Department is of an informational and explanatory nature on the application of the legislation of the Russian Federation on taxes and fees and does not prevent us from being guided by the norms of the legislation on taxes and fees in the understanding , which differs from the interpretation set forth in this letter.

VAT deduction under agency agreement

Often firms import goods through an intermediary. To carry out such a transaction, the parties can enter into an agency agreement. In accordance with him, the agent undertakes to buy goods for his reward on his own behalf, but at the expense of the principal either on behalf and at the expense of the principal. In pursuance of the contract, the intermediary enters into a supply contract with a foreign supplier and pays customs payments for goods imported into Russia, including VAT. In the published letter, the Ministry of Finance explains in which order the principal can deduct the VAT paid by the agent in the customs clearance of the imported goods.

As noted by financiers, deduction of input VAT on goods imported into the customs territory of Russia is possible if certain conditions are met. So, the given goods should be:

- used to conduct transactions recognized as an object of VAT;

- taken into account by the principal.

Also, the customer must have available documents that serve as the basis for the adoption of a deduction for VAT. In this case, such securities will be:

- Cargo customs declaration (its copy) on imported goods, issued in the customs regimes of release for domestic consumption or temporary importation;

- payment documents confirming the actual payment to the customs body of VAT amounts by the agent for the principal.

As we noted earlier, under the terms of the agency contract, the agent can act both on behalf of the customer and on his own behalf. In the first case, the fulfillment of these conditions will not cause any special difficulties. After all, the necessary documents, including the customs declaration, will be registered in the name of the principal. So, there will be no problems with offsetting the "customs" VAT. If the agent acts on his own behalf, then the situation will be a bit more complicated. In this case, all documentation will be issued by the seller in the name of the intermediary. As for the customs clearance, here the declarant can act both the principal himself and the agent. To list VAT when importing will be an intermediary. For the amount of tax paid to the customs authority, the agent re-issues the invoice on its own behalf to the principal. And the VAT set out in this document must correspond to the amount specified in the customs declaration (Letter of the Office of the Federal Tax Service of Russia for the city of Moscow of 08.12.2004 N 24-11 / 79072). In the mentioned letter of the tax department it is noted that the invoice will be enough to confirm the right to deduct the tax by the principal. However, in the opinion of the financiers, it is possible to deduct the "customs" VAT on the basis of the customs declaration (its copy) and payment documents confirming the actual payment of VAT. There are no exceptions to this rule for import operations through an intermediary. It follows that it is these documents that the principal will have to register in the Purchase Book in order to determine the amount of VAT deductible.

When working under an agency agreement, there are specific features of calculating the tax base for VAT and income tax.

2.1. VAT.

Taxpayers of VAT when carrying out entrepreneurial activities in the interests of another person on the basis of agency contracts, determine the tax base as the amount of income received as remuneration (or any other similar income) in the performance of agency contracts (Article 156 of Part Two of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

The tax base for VAT for an agency contract is defined as the amount of income received by the agent in the form of fees (Article 156 of the RF Tax Code). The amounts received from the principal to execute the transaction (with the exception of amounts due to them in the form of fees or any other income) are not included in the tax base.

The procedure for issuing invoices under intermediary contracts is established by the Rules for keeping records of received and issued invoices, books of purchases and books of sales in the calculation of the value-added tax (approved by RF Government Decree No. 914 of December 2, 2000). In accordance with clause 3 of these Rules, agents acting on their own behalf keep invoices received from sellers on goods purchased for the principal, in the register of received invoices. The purchase book does not record invoices received by the agent from the principal on goods sold for sale or from the seller of goods written in the name of the agent (clause 11 of the Rules).

2.2. Income Taxes.

  1. The incomes in the form of property (including monetary funds) received by the agent in connection with the performance of obligations under the agency agreement (subparagraph 9 of paragraph 1 of Article 251 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation) are not income of the agent.
  2. The incomes in the form of property (including monetary funds) received by the agent for the reimbursement of expenses incurred by him for the principal are not income of the agent if such costs are not included in the expenses of the agent in accordance with the terms of the concluded contracts.
  3. The expenses in the form of property (including money) transferred by the agent in connection with the performance of obligations under the agency agreement (subparagraph 9 of Article 270 of Part Two of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation) are not expenses of the agent.
  4. The costs incurred by the agent for the payment of principal expenses are not expenses of the agent if such costs are not included in the expenses of the agent in accordance with the terms of the concluded contracts.

Therefore, the tax base for calculating the profit tax for the agent will be only the amount of commission. At the same time, for taxation purposes, such amounts are taken depending on the method of recognizing the income and expenses determined by the agent's accounting policy in accordance with the current tax legislation.

If the agent applies the accrual method for these purposes, the date of receipt of the income from the sale of intermediary services is the date of actual provision of these services (art. 271 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation), which is determined on the basis of an agency agreement:

- at the end of the operation (instructions);

- on the last date of the reporting period under the contract (if the contract is long-term or provides for the performance of several transactions within a certain period);

- as of the date of submission of the report by the agent.

If the agent has the right to determine income and expenses on a cash basis (subject to meeting the requirements of Article 273 of the Tax Code), the date of receipt of income is the day on which funds are received from the principal (in the form of a fee) to bank accounts and / or to the cashier, receipts for payment of other property (works, services) and (or) property rights, as well as repayment of debts to him in a different way.

The agent must document all expenses incurred by him under the contract. Otherwise, the amount of their compensation will be considered gratuitously received funds and, accordingly, will be subject to inclusion in the composition of non-operating income and be subject to income tax. Copies of all documents confirming the expenses incurred by the agent are, as a general rule, attached to the agent's report.

You should not fix the amount of compensation in the contract, taking into account the compensation of the agent's expenses under the contract. This leads to an unjustified overstatement of the agent's proceeds. In addition, the agent can not include such expenses in the cost price, since they must be reimbursed by the principal according to the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. For the same reason, the agent can not deduct VAT on them.

3. Features of accounting in the framework of an agency contract.

All calculations within the framework of an agency contract in the Agent's account are reflected in account 76 "Settlements with other debtors and the creditor".

All costs associated with the agency contract, the Agent must reflect on the credit. 76 "Settlements with other debtors and the creditor", so that when receiving proceeds from the sale of goods, these expenses together with the agency contract are deducted from the debt owed to the Principal.

If the Principal grants an advance to the Agent for execution of the order, then the advance should be reflected by posting:

Д 51 К 76 - funds are transferred for the production of goods to the agent from the principal. The funds that the agent received as compensation for contract costs are not considered revenue.

Therefore, they are not included in the credit of account 90 "Sales".
