Accounting for deductions from wages: postings and examples
According to the law, various deductions can be made from employees' wages. For proper deduction, you need to know the nuances of the types of deduction and their accounting.
Let's consider an example of calculating deduction from wages, as well as accounting entries generated when withholding personal income tax, according to writs of execution, when repaying a loan issued to an employee and withholding union dues.
Grounds and procedure for deduction from wages
Types of possible deductions from an employee’s salary:
Income not subject to withholding
These types are established by Art. 101 of Law No. 229-FZ. The main types of such income:
- Compensation for damage caused to health or in connection with the death of the breadwinner;
- Compensation for injury to an employee and family members if they die;
- Compensation from the budget as a result of disasters (man-made or radiation);
- Alimony;
- Amounts of business travel, moving to a new place of residence;
- Financial assistance in connection with the birth of a child, marriage, etc.;
Deduction order
Deductions from an employee's salary are made in the following sequence:
- personal income tax;
- Writs of execution for alimony for minor children, for compensation for harm to health, death of the breadwinner, crime or moral harm;
- Other writs of execution in the order of receipt (other mandatory deductions);
- Retentions at the initiative of the manager.
Limiting the amount of deductions
The amount of mandatory deductions cannot exceed 50% of the wages due to the employee. In some cases, the amount of deductions may be increased. For example, deductions based on writs of execution. These deductions are subject to a 70% limit:
- On alimony for minor children;
- Compensation for damage caused to health, death of the breadwinner;
- Compensation for criminal damage.
Also, when calculating deductions, you should take into account:
- If the amount of mandatory deductions exceeds the limit (70%), then the amount of deductions is distributed in proportion to the mandatory deductions. No other deductions are made;
- The amount of limitation on deductions initiated by the employer is 20%;
- At the request of the employee, the amount of deductions is not limited.
Example of calculating salary deduction
In the name of employee Vasilkov A.A. 2 writs of execution were received: alimony for the maintenance of 3 minor children - 50% of earnings and compensation for damage to health in the amount of 5,000.00 rubles. The salary amount was 15,000.00 rubles. The personal income tax deduction for 3 children amounted to RUB 5,800.00.
We will calculate deductions based on writs of execution:
- Personal income tax tax base = 15,000.00 – 5,800.00 = 9,200.00 rubles;
- Personal income tax = RUB 1,196.00;
- Amount of earnings for calculating deductions = 15,000.00 – 1,196.00 = 13,804.00 rubles;
- Limit amount = RUB 9,662.80.

- For alimony = 6,902.00 rubles. (58% of the total withholding amount);
- Compensation for damage = 5,000, rub. (42% of the total withholding amount).
As a result, deductions are made according to writs of execution in the amount of:
- For alimony – 9,662.80 *0.58 = 5,604.42 rubles;
- Compensation for damage – 9,662.80 *0.42 = 4,058.38 rubles.
Mandatory deductions
Personal income tax is withheld from each employee’s salary at the following rates:
- 13% - if the employee is a resident of the Russian Federation;
- 30% - if a non-resident of the Russian Federation;
- 35% - in case of winning, savings on interest, etc.;
- 15% - from dividends of a non-resident of the Russian Federation;
- 9% - from dividends until 2015; interest on mortgage-backed bonds until 2007, from the income of the founders of the trust management of the mortgage coverage.
It does not matter in what form the income was received, cash or in kind. Let's look at an example:
Employee Vasilkov A.A. wages of 30,000.00 rubles were accrued, personal income tax was withheld from it at a rate of 13%, since Vasilkov A.A. is a resident.

According to executive documents
The amount under the writ of execution is withheld from wages, taking into account personal income tax. The amount of additional expenses under the writ of execution (for example, transfer fees) is debited from the employee.
Let's look at an example:
Employee Vasilkov A.A. wages were accrued in the amount of 20,000.00 rubles, of which 25% was withheld according to the writ of execution. Amount of deduction under the writ of execution = (20,000.00 – 13%) * 25% = 4,350.00 rub.

Deductions for the purpose of debt repayment are regulated by the Labor Code and other federal laws. In this case, it is necessary to issue an order no later than a month from the date of payment and obtain written permission from the employee.
If upon dismissal the amount of deductions is not completely written off, then, by agreement with the employee, the amount can be repaid:
- Judicially;
- By depositing funds into the cash register;
- Gift to an employee (in this case, expenses are not taken into account when calculating income tax);
- At the request of the employee, write off 20% of the salary monthly.

Purposes for which deductions can be made
At the employee’s initiative, amounts can be withheld from his salary for any purpose.
These may be payments to repay a loan, for goods purchased on credit, to pay for insurance premiums and cellular communication services, for membership fees, etc. The specified amounts are not considered deductions within the meaning of Articles 137 and 138 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, since It is about the employee’s will to dispose of the accrued salary. In this case, the employee must confirm his desire to withhold with a written statement. Similar conclusions follow from the letter of Rostrud dated September 16, 2012 No. PR/7156-6-1.
Situation: is it possible to withhold loan debt from an employee’s salary? The organization provided the employee with a loan, which he refuses to repay.
The answer to this question depends on what procedure for repaying the loan obligation is provided for in the agreement between the organization and the employee.
If the agreement states that the loan is repaid by deducting amounts from the debtor’s salary, the organization can collect them without the employee’s consent. After all, he confirmed his willingness to repay the loan through salary deductions by signing the agreement. If the agreement provides for another method of repaying the loan (for example, depositing money into the cash register), then amounts can be withheld from the employee’s earnings only upon his written application.
This procedure follows from paragraph 1 of Article 810 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.
Situation: is it possible to deduct alimony from an employee’s salary upon his written request? The employee did not present a writ of execution or a notarized agreement on the payment of alimony signed by the spouses.
Answer: yes, you can.
At the employee’s initiative, amounts can be withheld from his salary for any purpose, including alimony. The only condition: the employee must confirm his desire for voluntary retention with a written statement. The presence of a writ of execution or an agreement to pay alimony is not a condition for carrying out this operation. The explanation is this.
According to Article 109 of the Family Code of the Russian Federation, alimony is a mandatory deduction from an employee’s income (regardless of his wishes), which is carried out on the basis of a writ of execution or a notarized agreement on the payment of alimony. These documents can be received by the organization from a bailiff (usually by mail) or from the claimant himself (for example, from the former spouse of an employee with a requirement to pay alimony). The amount of deduction under the writ of execution is limited to 50 (70) percent of the employee’s monthly income (Parts 2–3 of Article 99 of the Law of October 2, 2007 No. 229-FZ).
At the same time, the employee has the right to pay alimony on a voluntary basis, withholding any amount from income.
Moreover, if the employer receives a writ of execution or a notarized agreement to pay alimony in relation to this payer, it is first necessary to make deductions on them by notifying the employee (Article 109 of the Family Code of the Russian Federation, Article 98 of the Law of October 2, 2007 No. 229-FZ, letter of Rostrud dated December 19, 2007 No. 5204-6-0).
An employee who pays child support on his own initiative can stop doing so whenever he wants. To do this, he must write a new application asking not to withhold part of his income from a certain date.
Situation: how to withhold additional insurance contributions from an employee’s salary to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation to finance a funded pension?
There is a special procedure for deducting additional insurance contributions for a funded pension from an employee’s salary.
In order to pay these contributions, the employee must first inform the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation of his intention to enter into a pension insurance relationship in order to pay additional contributions. He can do this independently or through an organization until December 31, 2014 (Part 1, Article 12 of Law No. 56-FZ of April 30, 2008).
If an employee submits an application through an organization, then within three working days it must redirect this application to the territorial office of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation at the place of registration as an insurer of its employee or transfer it through a multifunctional center. Moreover, some organizations are required to submit such statements in electronic form. This applies to organizations whose average number of employees for the previous year exceeds 25 people, as well as newly created (including through reorganization) organizations whose number of employees exceeds 25 people.
Such rules are established by Article 4 of the Law of April 30, 2008 No. 56-FZ.
The employee must confirm his desire to have contributions deducted from his salary in a written statement. In this statement, the person reports the amount of the monthly payment, which can be determined:
- in a fixed (fixed) amount;
- as a percentage of the base from which contributions to compulsory pension insurance are paid.
This is stated in Part 2 of Article 5 of the Law of April 30, 2008 No. 56-FZ.
Starting from the 1st day of the month following the month of receiving the application from the employee, the organization must begin to withhold from the salary the amount specified in the application and transfer it to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation in a single payment and a separate payment order. Pay additional insurance contributions to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation within the same deadlines as mandatory pension contributions.
The organization paying the contributions must form a register of insured persons in form No. DSV-3, approved by Resolution of the Board of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation dated November 12, 2008 No. 322p. Submit the register to the territorial office of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation no later than 20 days from the end of the quarter during which contributions were transferred (Part 6, Article 9 of Law No. 56-FZ of April 30, 2008, clause 1.3 of the Procedure approved by the resolution of the Board of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation dated November 12, 2008 No. 322p). It should be noted that the procedure for determining the terms specified in days is not provided for by the Law of April 1, 1996 No. 27-FZ and the resolution of the Board of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation of November 12, 2008 No. 322p. Therefore, it is unclear which days to take into account (working or calendar days). There are no clarifications from regulatory agencies on this issue. In this regard, it is advisable to calculate the deadline for submitting the register in calendar days (for example, the register for the first quarter of 2015 should be submitted no later than April 20, 2015).
The procedure for submitting the register in form No. DSV-3 depends on how many people work in the organization. If the average number of employees for the previous year exceeded 25 people, then the register must be submitted only electronically. If the average number of employees for the previous year did not exceed 25 people, then the organization is given the right to choose. At its discretion, it may submit the register either electronically or on paper. This procedure follows from paragraph 7 of Article 9 of the Law of April 30, 2008 No. 56-FZ.
Indicate the amount of additional insurance contributions withheld and paid to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation on the employee’s pay slip.
Such rules are established in Articles 7 and 9 of the Law of April 30, 2008 No. 56-FZ.
Stop withholding and paying additional insurance premiums if an employee requests this, as well as upon dismissal of the employee (Part 3 of Article 5, Part 2 of Article 7 of the Law of April 30, 2008 No. 56-FZ).

The accrual of personal income tax is reflected in the accounting records of the tax agent upon the fact of tax withholding from the income of an individual. In what amount should personal income tax be accrued, posting involves the application of a certain formula for calculating tax.

- if the tax agent withholds personal income tax from the salary, then account 70 of wage settlements is debited;

On July 5, Symbol LLC paid the accountant an additional salary for June, the total amount of which is 60,000 rubles, and for the first time in a year, issued financial assistance for the July vacation in the amount of 10,000 rubles. If we assume that the accountant is a tax resident of Russia and does not have the right to deductions, for transactions in which personal income tax is accrued, the posting will be made as follows:
Dt 70 Kt 68 subaccount “Calculations for personal income tax”
– 7800 rub. – tax is withheld from the accountant’s salary;

Reflection of deductions in the document Calculation of salaries and contributions
Calculation of deductions is made during the final calculation of wages. In the 1C: Integrated Automation 2 program, deductions can be reflected in two documents:
- Calculation of salaries and contributions.
- Calculation of deductions.
If wages are calculated using the document Accrual of salaries and contributions (Salary section), then deductions are calculated simultaneously with all accruals, contributions and personal income tax in one document.
To calculate, click Fill and go to the Deductions tab. The table displays the amounts calculated based on these deduction documents.
If accruals were made separately using the Calculation of Accruals document, then to calculate deductions, use the Calculation of Deductions document. When creating payroll documents separately, different documents are used to calculate accruals, contributions and deductions.
Click Fill. The Deductions tab will display rows for employees who have entered deduction documents.
We looked at accounting for deductions in the 1C: Comprehensive Automation 2 program. Having examined the issues of setting up deductions and generating documents on deductions, creating a new deduction will now not be difficult for you.
Accounting entries for salaries
The chart of accounts (Order of the Ministry of Finance No. 94n dated October 31, 2000) provides account 70 “Settlements with personnel for wages” to reflect the accrual, payment of wages and deductions from them. It is on this basis that salary accounting entries are generated in correspondence with other accounts.
The account is passive, and its loan balance reflects the amount of wages the organization owes to its employees. The credit of the account reflects the accrual of payment for the performance of labor duties.
The debit reflects the transfer from the current account or the payment of wages from the cash register, a posting reflecting the amount of deductions.
Analytical accounting should be organized for each employee separately. This will allow you to obtain up-to-date information on the accruals and debts of each individual company employee at any time.

Postings for PO: reflection in accounting registers
Forms of registers for recording business transactions are developed and approved by a commercial organization independently. They must ensure that they can obtain up-to-date information about the company's assets and liabilities at any time.
As mentioned above, the salary register must provide detailed data for each employee. It is also advisable to detail the data on the types and amounts of charges, deductions and payments.
You can organize such detailed accounting in an independently developed form, or you can use Form T-54, approved by the State Statistics Committee in Resolution No. 1 of 01/05/2004.
The basis for calculating wages and filling out registers for its accounting may be:
- time sheets;
- employment contracts;
- bonus orders;
- vacation orders;
- writs of execution and statements of deductions;
- other documents on labor standards and remuneration.
Form T-54
Also, according to Article 136 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the employer is obliged to notify staff about accruals and deductions before transferring wages. This can be done by issuing a pay slip to the employee.
Its form should allow the employee to learn in an understandable form about accruals, deductions and amounts to be received.
You can inform the employee both on paper and in electronic form, for example, by sending a payslip by email.
Payroll example: calculation and postings
Let's look at an example of the procedure for generating transactions for payment of remuneration to employees. LLC "Company" employs two people. The organization is engaged in wholesale trade and the salaries of all employees are included in account 44. Salaries are paid on the 10th of the next month. On the same day, personal income tax and alimony are transferred. Insurance premiums were transferred on December 14, 2018.

You can enter them both from the general journal and from individual deduction journals.
After setting up the composition of deductions, the corresponding types will be added to the Detentions directory. The deduction can be made as a fixed amount or as a percentage of earnings. For correct calculation, check the composition of the calculation base of deductions. If the composition of the calculation base of deductions is not defined, then when calculating wages, deduction is not calculated and the document table will be empty.

Accounting for payroll deductions: entries and examples – Business Ideas
According to the law, various deductions can be made from employees' wages. For proper deduction, you need to know the nuances of the types of deduction and their accounting.
Let's consider an example of calculating deduction from wages, as well as accounting entries generated when withholding personal income tax, according to writs of execution, when repaying a loan issued to an employee and withholding union dues.
- 2.1 Mandatory deductions
Deduction amount
Situation: how much can be withheld from an employee’s salary on his initiative?
Make deductions from an employee’s salary on his initiative without restrictions.
The Law on Enforcement Proceedings limits the amount of deductions for enforcement documents (Article 99 of the Law of October 2, 2007 No. 229-FZ). The Labor Code of the Russian Federation establishes the grounds and standards for deductions by order of the organization (Article 130 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). The legislation does not impose other restrictions on the amount of deductions.
Therefore, at the initiative of an employee, up to 100 percent of income can be withheld from his earnings, but only after personal income tax is withheld from the amount of income (paragraph 2, paragraph 1, article 210 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).
Similar conclusions follow from the letter of Rostrud dated September 16, 2012 No. PR/7156-6-1.

For calculations, the Chart of Accounts provides an account. 68 “Calculations with the budget”, to which sub-accounts are opened depending on the purpose. Let's look at examples of generating income tax entries when reflecting various situations - payment of wages, dividends, benefits, etc.

An example of calculating income tax and generating standard transactions:
Employee Pankratov I.M. Earnings for January were accrued in the amount of 47,000 rubles. An individual is entitled to a deduction for one minor child in the amount of 1,400 rubles. We will calculate the amount of tax to be withheld and make accounting entries.
Personal income tax amount = (47000 – 1400) x 13% = 5928 rubles. There are 41,072 rubles left to hand over to Pankratov.
Postings:
- D 44 K 70 for 47,000 rubles. – earnings for January have been accrued.
- D 70 K 68.1 for 5928 rub. – personal income tax withholding is reflected.
- D 70 K 50 for 41072 rub. – reflects the cash payment of earnings from the company’s cash desk.
- D 68.1 K 51 for 5928 rubles. – the tax amount has been transferred to the budget.
Let's add the conditions of the example. Suppose Pankratov I.M. provided a loan to his organization in the amount of 150,000 rubles. with interest payment in the amount of 8,000 rubles. We will charge personal income tax on interest at an estimated rate of 13%.
Personal income tax amount = 8000 x 13% = 1040 rubles.
Postings:
- D 50 K 66 for 150,000 rubles. – the loan is reflected.
- D 91 K 66 for 8000 rubles. – interest is reflected.
- D 66 K 68.1 for 1040 rubles. - tax charged.
- D 66 K 50 for 151040 rub. – taking into account the due interest, the loan is repaid in cash.
Conclusion - calculating personal income tax using postings is a mandatory procedure for paying any income to individuals, with the exception of non-taxable transactions. Tax rates are regulated at the legislative level and vary by employee category.

- Resolutions of bodies that are authorized to consider cases of administrative violations.
- Resolutions of the executor - bailiff.
- Resolutions of other bodies, if provided for by federal law.

Payroll accruals
Now let's move on to the wages themselves. In order for an enterprise to pay wages, an accountant needs to make the necessary deductions and charge taxes. Let's find out how and when this is done. In this regard, there are two main concepts:
Payroll accrual
is a tax paid by the employer. This tax applies to almost all payments to employees.
Salary is no exception. In our country, this tax is called the single social contribution (hereinafter referred to as SSC). It includes a full social package legally provided for by our state. This package consists of pension insurance (pension payment), insurance in case of temporary disability (sick leave pay, child care, etc.), insurance related to the occurrence of accidents at work (compensation for complete or partial disability). Its value depends on the occupational risk class, which is established by the Social Insurance Fund for Industrial Accidents, according to information about the enterprise provided to it by the Pension Fund. There is a special table that provides 67 classes of professional risk, developed in accordance with the resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 1423 dated September 13, 2000, where each class corresponds to a certain tax rate as a percentage. It goes without saying that the higher the likelihood of injury on the job, the higher the rate, and vice versa. The rate of this tax ranges from 36.76% for class 1 to 49.7% for class 67. If a disabled person works at an enterprise, then a special (reduced) rate of this tax is applied to his income, in the amount of 8.41%. Also, a reduced rate is provided for payment of sick leave - 33.2%.
