Who submits the 6-NDFL report in 2020?

The 6-NDFL calculation is submitted by organizations and individual entrepreneurs who are tax agents, that is, they pay income to employees or other individuals. Form 6-NDFL is submitted by organizations and individual entrepreneurs along with 2-NDFL.

If an organization has separate divisions that employ employees, then you need to fill out the 6-NDFL calculation for each of them.

DO YOU NEED TO SUBMIT THE ZERO CALCULATION OF 6-NDFL IN 2021?

Despite the clarifications of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation:

• letter of the Federal Tax Service dated 05/04/16 No. BS-4-11/7928;
• letter of the Federal Tax Service dated March 23, 2016 No. BS-4-11/4901.

Which say that if an organization or individual entrepreneur does not pay income to individuals, then there is no need to submit a calculation, very often the Federal Tax Service does not take these letters into account and fines, as well as block current accounts, individual entrepreneurs and organizations that have not submitted a zero report. Therefore, we advise, in order to avoid unnecessary problems , to provide zero calculations of 6-NDFL within the established time frame , if you had accruals and payments of income to employees in at least one of the reporting periods.

Let us remind you that 2-NDFL is filled out for each individual entrepreneur or company employee separately, and 6-NDFL is filled out for all employees once a quarter.

Deadlines for submitting 6-NDFL in 2021

If the tax agent made payments to individuals during the tax period, income that is taxed at different rates, he needs to fill out Section 1 for each of the tax rates (except for lines 060 - 090).

On the first page you need to fill in the totals for all bets on lines 060 - 090.

note

If you, as a tax agent, perform an operation in one reporting period and complete it in another reporting period, then this operation must be reflected in the reporting period in which it was completed.

For example:

1. Provided that the salary for September 2021 was issued on October 5, 2021, in Section 1 of the Calculation for 9 months of 2021, the advance and salary amounts will be reflected, but in Section 2 of form 6-NDFL they do not need to be reflected, because, Although the tax calculation date will fall in the 3rd quarter of 2021, the tax will actually be withheld only in October 2021, i.e. in the 4th quarter. In this case, between the indicators of lines 040 “Amount of calculated tax” and 070 “Amount of withheld tax” of Section 1 there will be a difference in the amount of personal income tax calculated but not withheld as of September 30, 2020.

2. You need to calculate 6-NDFL for the twelve months of 2020. According to your local regulations, you will pay wages for December 2021 to employees on January 10, 2021. Accordingly, transfer personal income tax on January 10 or 11, 2021. Despite the fact that this is a salary for 2021, in the calculation of 6-NDFL for 12 months of 2021, data on income and personal income tax are not included, since the payment and transfer of personal income tax will be made in another reporting period. This data must be included in the calculation of 6-NDFL for the 1st quarter of 2021.

Another important point: the date of withholding tax may differ from the date of transfer of personal income tax. This is due to the fact that the deadlines for paying personal income tax for different incomes differ:

• according to paragraph 6 of Article 226 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, tax agents are required to transfer the amounts of calculated and withheld tax no later than the day following the day the income is paid to the taxpayer;
• When paying temporary disability benefits (including benefits for caring for a sick child), as well as paying vacation pay, tax agents are required to transfer the amounts of calculated and withheld tax no later than the last day of the month in which the above payments were made.

For example:

The employee received vacation pay on December 11, 2021, in this case the employer is obliged to pay personal income tax to the budget no later than December 31, 2020 and reflect this date in form 6-NDFL for 2021:

Section 1

• Column 20 - indicate the total amount of vacation pay paid;
• columns 040 and 070 – indicate the total amount of tax.

Section 2

• columns 100 and 110 - indicate the actual payment dates;
• column 120 - indicate the date of payment of personal income tax on vacation pay;
• column 130 - indicate the amount of accrued vacation pay;
• Column 140 – indicate the amount of personal income tax withheld.

When paying a premium, 6-NDFL is filled out in the following order:

The date of receipt of income in the form of bonuses is considered to be the last day of the month (as well as when paying vacation pay). Therefore, if the order for the payment of bonuses is dated the 20th, then in column 100 of Section 2 it is necessary to indicate the date 30 or 31 depending on the number of days in the month, and in line 110 reflect the date of actual payment of the bonus, for example, 06/25/2020.

Features of filling out 6-NDFL when paying sick leave benefits

Form 6-NDFL reflects only payments subject to taxation. Maternity benefits are not subject to personal income tax, so they are not included in form 6-NDFL.

When paying temporary disability benefits:

• in columns 100, 110 the day of actual payment of sick leave is indicated;
• in column 120 - the day the tax is paid, usually the final day of the month;
• column 130 displays the total amount of hospital payments (including tax);
• in column 140 - the amount of tax on the employee’s income.

Indicating the date of transfer of payments in 6-NDFL: nuances

In general, the date of receipt by an individual of income represented by wages under an employment contract is considered to be the last day of the month (Clause 2 of Article 223 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). It is recorded in line 100 of section 2 of form 6-NDFL. The tax in this case must be withheld on the same day.

In other cases, tax is withheld on the day the company actually pays income. For example, if an employee was on sick leave in March - in the 1st quarter, and received sick leave benefits in April - in the 2nd quarter, then the receipt of the corresponding payment and the accrual of personal income tax on him is recorded in the reporting for the 2nd quarter.

The opposite situation is also possible, when income is transferred earlier than the period for using the payment begins. For example, if a person goes on vacation in July - in the 3rd quarter, but the employer transfers his vacation pay to him in June - in the 2nd quarter. Vacation pay and tax on them are reflected in form 6-NDFL for the 2nd quarter.
