An overview of the normative documents concerning the issues of taxation adopted in December 2005-January 1. By Letter of the Federal Tax Service No GI-6-22/30 of 18 January 2006, Letter of the RF Ministry of Finance No 03-11-02/85 of 28. 12. 2005 (concerning the procedure for the application of the deflator coefficient in the course of transition to the simplified system of taxation in accordance with Item 2 of Article 346.12 and Item 4 of Article 346.13 of Chapter 26.2 of the RF Tax Code) was dispatched for general information and guidance.

In accordance with Federal Law No 101-FZ of 21 July 2005, starting from 1 January 2005, the amount of maximum income restricting the right to transfer to the simplified system of taxation is to be increased from 11 to 15 million roubles, while the maximum amount of incomes, the exceeding of which by the results of a reporting (tax) period represents one of the grounds for losing the right to apply the simplified system of taxation, is also to be increased - from 15 to 20 million roubles.

The same law has introduced the rule for indexing the maximum incomes by a deflator-coefficient, which is to be annually set for every subsequent calendar year. The deflator coefficient must be officially published in accordance with the procedure established by the Government of the Russian Federation.

By Order of the RF Ministry of Economic Development No 284 of 3 November 2005, the deflator coefficient for the year 2006 is set equal to 1.132.

Thus, the said deflator-coefficient must be used for indexing the value of the maximum amount of incomes received during the first nine months of 2006 (15 million roubles), which restricts the right of organizations to transfer to the simplified system of taxation from 1 January 2007.

At the same time, the value of the maximum amount of incomes (20 million roubles), which precludes, when being reached, the use of the simplified system of taxation, is not to be indexed in the year 2006. The aforesaid value of the maximum amount of incomes is to be indexed by the deflator coefficient calculated for the year 2007.

2. Letter of the Federal Tax Service No MM-6-03/18 of 13 January 2006 and Letter of the RF Ministry of Finance No 03-04-15/117 of 20. 12. 2005 have clarified the issue concerning the refunding of VAT paid at the rate of 0 %, in particular, in the event of performing the works (or services) dealing with the escorting, transporting, loading and re-loading of goods being exported out of the territory of the Russian Federation or imported into the Russian Federation by Russian carriers, and also other similar works (or services) dealing with the reprocessing of the goods placed under the customs regimes for the reprocessing of goods in the customs territory and under customs supervision.

In order to obtain the refunding of a previously paid tax, the taxpayer-carrier must indicate, in the invoice, the value of the works before tax, and to indicate the rate of the tax as equal to 0.

In the event of indicating, in an invoice, any other tax rate, such an invoice cannot serve as a legal justification for accepting the tax amounts presented by the taxpayer for deduction. In this event, VAT must be paid by the taxpayer from its own means.

The letter of the Federal Tax Service clarifies that the tax agencies are obliged to provide the carriers with a copy of a customs declaration so as to confirm their right to refund the amount of the value added tax in the event of applying the tax rate equal to 0 %, and the refusal to provide such a copy can be appealed against in courts.

3. Letter of the Federal Tax Service No MM-6-03/2010 of 29 December 2005 as coordinated with the RF Ministry of Finance (Letter No 03-04-015/95 of 25. 11. 2005) has clarified the procedure for the application by banks, as from 1 January 2006, of the provision stipulated in Item 5, Article 170 of the RF Tax Code concerning the payments of VAT. The moment of determination of the tax base must be the earliest of the following dates: the day of dispatching (or transferring) the goods (or works, or services, or property rights); the day of payment. So far as banks, when calculating the value added tax, have the right to include in their expenditures the amounts of VAT paid to the suppliers for the goods (or works, or services) being purchased, the payment of VAT on taxable transactions can also be transferred into the budget gradually, alongside the payments being received. The amounts of VAT paid to suppliers when purchasing goods (or works, or services), including fixed and non-material assets, which are necessary for primary production activities, are also to be included in the expenditures deducted from the tax base when the profits tax is calculated.

4. By Letter of the Federal Tax Service No GI-6-04/1088 of 26 December 2005, Letter of the RF Ministry of Finance No 03-05-01-03/129 of 16. 11 2005 (concerning the issue of taxation on the incomes of physical persons in the form of a material benefit received from the operations with pay cards during an interest-free period, i.e. in the event of granting a credit to the holder of a pay card when the monetary means in his or her bank account are insufficient or nonexistant (overdraft)), has been dispatched as guidance in work.

An agreement concerning the provision, by a bank, of a pay card with the condition of overdraft contains certain elements of a credit agreement. Therefore the material benefit derived in the interestfree period in the event of an overdraft is equated to the material benefit derived from the operations with credit cards and is not subject to taxation in accordance with Sub-Item 1 of Item 1 of Article of the Tax Code.

5. By Letter of the RF Federal Tax Service No GI-6-04/1068 of 26 December 2005, and by Letter of the RF Ministry of Finance No 03-05-01-03/125 of 07. 11. 2005, it was specified that the payments to servicemen for the purpose of acquiring the essentials do not represent compensation benefits and are subject to taxation in the form of the income tax in accordance with the general procedure.

6. By Letter of the Federal Tax Service No GI-6-04/1087 of 26 December 2005 and by Letter of the RF Ministry of Finance No 03-05-01-03/105 of 12.10.2005, it was clarified that the incomes received by taxpayers in the form of interest on their accounts with the banks located in the territory of the Russian Federation are not subject to taxation in the event when interest on rouble-denominated accounts is being paid within the limits of amounts calculated in accordance with the existing refinancing rate of the Bank of Russia during the period for which this interest was calculated, and in the case of accounts denominated in foreign currency - when the established interest rate does not exceed 9 % per annum.

Interest paid in accordance with a bank-deposit agreement and that paid in accordance with a bankaccount agreement are of the same economic nature, which makes it possible to consider them as one and the same type of income received by physical persons, and, therefore, in accordance with Item of Article 217 of the Tax Code, interest on deposits is not subject to taxation.
