All entrepreneurs and organizations paying income to individuals are recognized as tax agents. At the end of the calendar year, they must submit a declaration filled out in form 2-NDFL to the tax office. This document must contain information about all individuals who received income in the reporting period, as well as the amount and timing of payments. Column 2.3 “Taxpayer Status” in 2-NDFL raises many questions: how to determine the status of a foreign employee; what tax rate to apply to a particular group of foreigners; what to do if the status has changed during the reporting period, etc. Let's figure it out.
Taxpayer status in 2-NDFL
What are the statuses and codes?
Starting from 2021, there are six taxpayer statuses, each of which is assigned a code.
Table 1. Codes assigned depending on taxpayer status
Code | Status |
Code 1 | Placed if the individual is a resident of the country. |
Code 2 | The individual is not a resident. |
Code 3 | A highly qualified specialist, he is also not a resident. |
Code 4 | Participant in the state program for the return of compatriots to their homeland. Non-resident of Russia. |
Code 5 | Non-resident refugee. |
Code 6 | A citizen of another country working in the Russian Federation on the basis of a patent. |
On a note! The employee’s status code determines what percentage will be deducted from his income.
To determine which code should be in 2-NDFL and at what rate to calculate taxes, follow this algorithm:
- Check if the foreign employee has a special status.
- Find out whether he is a resident or not.
- Find out exactly what income needs to be paid to the foreigner.

Sometimes you have to submit documents to the tax office to receive a deduction. Whether the request is approved or not depends on their correct preparation. Therefore, it is important to approach the filling with full responsibility. For example, enter the correct country code. If you are a Russian citizen, for personal income tax certificate 2 it will be 643. This certificate and many other documents indicate the same number.
Help 2 personal income tax
The most popular document for determining the material income and tax accounts of an individual for the required period of time is certificate 2 of personal income tax. Basically, it is filled out in the accounting department by the end of the year, summing up the results, and transferred to the tax office, but it can also be issued at the request of the employee.
Upon request, a certificate is issued in the following cases:
- 2 personal income taxes are required when obtaining auto, mortgage or consumer loans. Sometimes they may be required to take out a large cash loan.
- Issued automatically upon dismissal of an employee. If you haven’t done this, you will have to request a certificate for a new official employment.
- It is transferred to the tax service when a deduction is required. Let's say a deduction is possible for citizens whose children study at a higher educational institution on a paid basis.
- Upon retirement and further calculation of benefits.
- If a person decides to adopt a child.
- In litigation, one way or another, related to labor relations.
- When the issue of alimony obligations is resolved.
In its final form, the document must bear the seal and signature of the head of the enterprise. According to the standard, the certificate is issued within three working days, excluding holidays and weekends.
There is no need to return it to the accounting department. However, it is important to remember that the company has the right to indicate the calculation only for the time during which the employee worked at this particular workplace. This applies to cases where a person has managed to change several jobs over the past year.
Filling rules
Issuing a personal income tax certificate 2 is a common matter, but sometimes it is not at all easy. An inexperienced accountant may have problems.
Feature selection
The first thing a specialist faces is identifying the sign. There are two types of signs:
- Filling out occurs for any employee receiving wage payments from the enterprise and deductions from them. This also includes funds protected from personal income tax withholding. A certificate with this indication must be submitted to the tax office no later than April 1.
- All other situations when it is impossible to deduct taxes from certain material assets. For example, if you need to pay for a gift for a person who is not an employee of the company. Temporary dates: until the first of March. In addition, you must indicate the amount of income that is not subject to taxation and the possible amount of tax.
Usually in the second case you have to make two certificates with different characteristics at once. The first is all income in aggregate, the second is the amounts protected from withholding.
Code of the country
The second task is to indicate a reliable country code. Today there is an OKSM classifier of country codes. It was approved on December 14, 2001 by Gosstandart under number 529-ST.
Information from it can be found for free on many legal Internet resources, but it is important to remember that the database is constantly updated and subject to adjustments.
Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the relevance of the information that comes across on sites and weed out outdated versions. For example:
- Russian citizenship code for personal income tax certificate 2 is 643.
- Belarus - 112.
- Uzbekistan - 860.
- Kazakhstan - 400.
- Armenia - 051.
- Ukraine - 804, etc.
The original classifier is located directly on the official website of Gosstandart. You can also find its changes there, but they are all located separately, which creates a number of inconveniences when searching for the necessary information.
Example document
The standard certificate form has several parts to fill out. The first part includes:
- Full legal name of the organization that was involved in issuing this certificate.
- 1st or 2nd sign indicating the possibility of collecting tax deductions.
- Document data: number, date of completion, what time frame was taken as the basis for the calculation.
- Territorial code of the tax service with which the enterprise is registered.
- The serial number of the adjustments made. If there were none, you must enter the number 0.
- Landline telephone number of the work organization. Required with area code.
- Payment details of the enterprise: taxpayer identification number (TIN), All-Russian Classifier of Municipal Territories (OKTMO) and reason for registration code (KPP). For individual entrepreneurs, it is permissible to put a dash.
- Personal data of the employee for whom the certificate is issued: last name, first name and patronymic, tax identification number, residential address.
- Official taxpayer status. Usually for a Russian resident there is only one.
- State code from classifier 529-ST. This can be either the Russian Federation or any other country from which the employee arrived.
- Code of the employee’s personal identification document, as well as its number and series. Russian passport code is 21.
The second part is further divided into three more sections. Here they describe monthly material income, tax and other deductions, the amount of actual tax and that already paid.
The third part displays income in coded form. For example, salary code is 2000, vacation payments are 2012, other one-time amounts are 2720. All this is subject to personal income tax.
The fourth is coded deductions. For example, code 126 is a deduction for a minor child.
The fifth part is the total amount of personal income tax. To calculate, you need to add up the income for the entire previous year and subtract deductions. From the amount received, calculate 13 percent (if the rate is for the first taxpayer status).
Document for a foreigner
If a citizen of another country works for an organization and requires a 2nd personal income tax certificate, the procedure remains the same. However there is a slight difference :
- The amount of the tax rate directly depends on the length of residence and work in the Russian Federation. For 183 days or more of continuous stay, the rate will be the usual - 13 percent. In addition, in the certificate the taxpayer status will be standard - 1. If the stay is shorter than the established framework, then the rate increases to 30, and the status - 2. There may be other statuses. For example, visitors from the Eurasian Economic Community countries. Their rate is 13% anyway.
- It is necessary to indicate permanent citizenship according to OKSM, regardless of Russian temporary documents.
- It is not necessary to fill out the column with a Russian or foreign TIN.
- You can indicate your place of residence both in Russia and in your home country, but always with a code.
- The identity document of a foreign citizen is entered under code 10.
- In the fifth section, a column with fixed income is added. This is if the employee works on the basis of a patent. In addition, it is permissible to apply to the NFS to reduce personal income tax by an amount equal to fixed payments. After receiving official permission, indicate its number and date of receipt.
If you take into account all the above factors, then registering 2nd personal income tax should not cause much difficulty . The main thing is to correctly understand country codes and other encodings. These can be found in government legal documents.

Citizenship and country code for reference 2 Personal income tax: formation features
The main document regulating the filling out of form 2 of personal income tax is the order of the Federal Tax Service dated October 30, 2015 with all changes registered as of the date of compilation of the indicators.
In addition to the Internal Revenue Service, for which information on income is generated at the end of the reporting year, a certificate may be needed from a physical person. face in many situations. Some fields are difficult to fill out, for example, which region code to indicate in the second part. If there are no questions for a resident of the Russian Federation, what about non-residents?
In the review, we will consider all the nuances of the formation of this graph according to the OKSM classifier of countries of the world.
Resident
The vast majority of Russian workers fall into this category. Therefore, in section 2.3 of the 2-NDFL declaration, accountants most often put code No. 1.
Tax resident is an individual who has lived in the state for at least one hundred and eighty-three days during the previous twelve consecutive months. These 183 days also include arrival and departure dates.
Who is a Tax Resident of the Russian Federation? Our article will help you figure this out. In it we will look at what the tax status depends on, documents for confirmation, as well as the regulatory framework for residents and non-residents.
If an individual did not live in Russia, but received treatment or education abroad, the period of his absence will not be counted towards 183 days.
For residents, the income tax rate is 13%

Region code ” is the code of the region in which the individual has his place of residence. The region code is selected from the Region Codes Directory. “ Postal code ” is the index of a communications company located at the taxpayer’s place of residence. When reflecting the "house" address element, both numeric and alphabetic values can be used, as well as a "/" sign to indicate a corner house. For example: 4A or 4/2.

For individuals who are not tax residents of the Russian Federation and foreign citizens, the absence of the indicator “Residence address in the Russian Federation” is allowed, provided that clause 2.9 of the Certificate is completed.
Non-resident
If a foreign employee stays in the country for less than 183 days, he is considered a non-resident. The status of “non-resident of the Russian Federation” has several features:
- A non-resident is required to pay tax and submit a declaration to the fiscal authority only if he received income from a source located on Russian territory.
- A non-resident cannot receive a tax deduction.
- If, as a result of a change in status from non-resident to resident, tax was overpaid, the money can only be returned to the tax office (not through the employer) at the end of the calendar year.
Resident or non-resident status does not depend on citizenship. A resident can be not only a citizen of Russia, but also a citizen of another state or a stateless person. A non-resident can be:
- Russian citizen living abroad;
- a foreigner who arrived less than six months ago.
Filling out a certificate by Russians
Regardless of whether your place of permanent registration is Russia, Ukraine, Belarus or another country, when filling out tax forms and other documents related to work and income, you must know all the necessary codes, OKIN, citizenship, etc. Until they are entered in the appropriate boxes, the document will be considered invalid, since it will not provide complete and comprehensive information about you. Russian citizens will need to indicate the code combination of numbers assigned by the Russian Federation in the 2-NDFL certificate. It is written in paragraph 2.5 of the second block of the document called “Data on a civilian.” The OKSM of the Russian Federation is assigned the number 643. It must be entered in the above column. The status of a stateless person does not relieve you of the obligation to enter the data recorded in the classifiers into the certificate. In the document, such a person needs to enter information about the country that issued him the identity paper. The 2-NDFL certificate form and a sample form can be downloaded here.
Sample of filling out the 2-NDFL certificate Next, continuing to work with the certificate, you should repeat the number from paragraph 2.5, but in line 2.9. Next, indicate the detailed address where the person for whom the document is being filled out lives. If we are talking about a foreign citizen, it is not the Russian temporary registration where the registration was carried out that is entered, but information about the foreigner’s place of residence in his homeland, the code of which he indicates, taking it from the all-Russian classifier. For convenience, the line can be filled in with both Cyrillic characters and Latin characters.
Documents confirming residence
According to the law, the tax agent himself keeps records of data about his employees and independently determines his status. And based on this, the tax amount is calculated. An employee's residence can be confirmed by the following documents:
- a passport containing information about the date of crossing the Russian border;
- a visa containing the appropriate notes;
- air tickets, railway tickets;
- papers on registration of foreigners temporarily living in the Russian Federation;
- contract with the employer, civil contract;
- a time sheet in which labor time was recorded.
Air ticket can confirm your residence
Personal income tax for citizens with a residence permit in 2021
2. Foreigners operating on the basis of a patent In the case of a patent, personal income tax from foreigners in 2021 is paid at a rate of 13%. When determining the amount of tax deductions, the employing company's accountant must deduct from the employee's fiscal obligations the amount of the advance payment transferred when purchasing the permit.
We recommend reading: Lawsuit against Non-Payers of Membership Fees SNT
And finally, if highly qualified specialists with the status of permanently or temporarily residing in the Russian Federation are involved in work, then pension and social contributions for them are paid at regular rates, and the employer does not make deductions for healthcare.
Highly qualified foreign specialists
A highly qualified specialist is a foreigner who has outstanding skills, knowledge, and experience in some field of activity. Such an employee must have signed an employment contract with a company from Russia. Payment for the work of a valuable foreign employee must be at least two million rubles per year. But for teachers and researchers, the minimum wage may be less - from one million rubles.
On a note! The income of a highly qualified foreign specialist is taxed at 13%, even if he is a non-resident of the Russian Federation.
The employer must assess the level of competence and qualifications. Evidence of a high level of knowledge and experience can include:
- diploma;
- education certificates;
- comments from previous employers about the employee;
- awards;
- information from specialized organizations.
The status of a highly qualified specialist is awarded to a foreign employee from the moment a work permit is issued. The document must contain a corresponding note.
The thirteen percent rate for this category of workers can be used even if the employment contract is concluded for a short period. If the contract is drawn up for a period of less than 1 year, the amount of remuneration for the period of work must be at least two million rubles.
The reduced rate applies only to those incomes of a valuable specialist that relate to labor payments. For example, salary, production bonuses, payment for services.
All income that goes beyond the scope of the employment relationship is taxed at 30%, even if the money is transferred by the same employer
On a note! If a specialist has left the country and payments must be made outside the Russian Federation, then a 13% rate is still applied to the income. For the last payments after the dismissal of a foreign employee, the tax amount also remains unchanged.
Personal income tax for foreign citizens in 2021
Step 4. 10 working days after submitting the documents, officials will issue a work permit or notice of refusal. When obtaining a patent, a foreigner must provide a receipt that confirms the payment of the advance payment for personal income tax. It may happen that a foreigner does not make payments for the months for which his permit is extended. Then it ceases to be valid from the day following the end of the period for which the advance payment was paid (paragraph 3. 4 clause 5 art. 13.3 of Law No. 115-F)
First of all, the cost consists of personal income tax (NDFL), in 2021 it is the same for everyone and amounts to 1,307 rubles. This figure is multiplied by a coefficient that is established annually by government agencies in different regions. Thus, in Moscow the cost of a patent is 4,000 rubles, in St. Petersburg – 3,000 rubles, and in the regions even less. The document is issued for a period of one to three months, after which it must be renewed every month.
Participants in the program for the return of compatriots
Code 4 in the “Taxpayer Status” section is applied if the employee is a participant in the program for the return of compatriots from the CIS countries to their homeland, Russia. Various social benefits are provided for this category of foreigners and their families, including a reduced percentage of income tax.
Rules for calculating personal income tax for immigrants:
- Wages, payments for services, bonuses and other earnings received as a result of work activities are taxed at 13%. The percentage should not be higher, even if the employee is a non-resident of the country. The benefit can be applied only after the foreigner presents a document proving the fact of participation in this state program. When hiring an accountant, you need to keep a copy of the document and regularly check its validity period. The certificate is issued to the migrant for three years.
- The rate applied to other unearned income depends on whether the immigrant becomes a resident. If yes, the percentage is 13%; if not - 30%. The category of unearned earnings includes gifts, financial assistance, and income from rental property.
- Standard group deductions can only be applied if the migrant has already become a resident.
On a note! A program participant has the right to find employment in the Russian Federation without a work permit.
Classification of population information
Upon hiring, all new employees receive personal cards for all new employees. They also contain the following information:
- Family status.
- Presence or absence of education.
- Knowledge of languages of other countries.
- Citizenship, etc.
To fill them out, you will need OKIN - another classifier used in Russia to systematize information about the population.
Whether you are a stateless person or have been adopted in one of the countries of the world, this document must be created for you.
The current OKIN was approved in 2015.
Having entered into force, it abolished its previously valid counterpart. The classifier used for T-2 cards is a set of digital blocks that can be used in various documents. If you have any questions, you can consult for free via chat with a lawyer at the bottom of the screen or call by phone (consultation is free), we work around the clock.
Information collected for population accounting is systematized and studied using OKIN. The advantage of the classifier is that it consists of facets that can be applied independently of each other. We invite you to watch the video, which describes in detail how to correctly fill out the 2-NDFL certificate.
The population registration system continues to be improved and brought in accordance with international standards. Taxpayers must be aware of all changes that occur. Filling out a 2-NDFL certificate in relation to a foreign worker is practically no different from filling out a certificate in relation to a Russian employee, but has some features.
Refugee
Since October 2014, all income paid to refugees and those who have received temporary housing in the Russian Federation is subject to a reduced income tax rate of 13%.
Code 5 in the “Taxpayer Status” section is entered only if the employee is a non-resident of the country. For non-residents, only income received as a result of work is subject to a thirteen percent tax. All other payments (gifts, financial assistance) are subject to taxation at the same percentage for all non-residents - 30%.
On a note! A refugee cannot count on standard group deductions before he receives Russian tax resident status.
To receive a deduction for children, a refugee must legalize documents (birth or adoption certificate) in the territory of our state. This can be done at the consular offices of the republic that issued the document.
If the country in which the certificate was received is a party to the Hague Convention, it is enough to certify the document with an apostille
Filling out a certificate by Russians
Regardless of whether your place of permanent registration is Russia, Ukraine, Belarus or another country, when filling out tax forms and other documents related to work and income, you must know all the necessary codes, OKIN, citizenship, etc. Until they are entered in the appropriate boxes, the document will be considered invalid, since it will not provide complete and comprehensive information about you.
If you have any questions, you can consult for free via chat with a lawyer at the bottom of the screen or call by phone (consultation is free), we work around the clock.
Russian citizens will need to indicate the code combination of numbers assigned by the Russian Federation in the 2-NDFL certificate. It is written in paragraph 2.5 of the second block of the document called “Data on a civilian.” The OKSM of the Russian Federation is assigned the number 643. It must be entered in the above column. The status of a stateless person does not relieve you of the obligation to enter the data recorded in the classifiers into the certificate. In the document, such a person needs to enter information about the country that issued him the identity paper. The 2-NDFL certificate form and a sample form can be downloaded here. Sample of filling out the 2-NDFL certificate Next, continuing to work with the certificate, you should repeat the number from paragraph 2.5, but in line 2.9. Next, indicate the detailed address where the person for whom the document is being filled out lives. If we are talking about a foreign citizen, it is not the Russian temporary registration where the registration was carried out that is entered, but information about the foreigner’s place of residence in his homeland, the code of which he indicates, taking it from the all-Russian classifier. For convenience, the line can be filled in with both Cyrillic characters and Latin characters.
Foreigners working under a patent
If a foreign employee is a citizen of a visa-free country, he must apply for a patent. This document gives the right to work on the territory of the Russian Federation. A labor patent is necessary both for hired work and for individual entrepreneurial activity or opening a company.
Citizens of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia and Belarus do not need to obtain a patent. These countries are not only visa-free, but also part of a single customs union with Russia. According to international agreement, patents and work permits are not required for natives of these four states.
Citizens of other visa-free countries - Uzbekistan, Ukraine, Abkhazia, Azerbaijan - need to obtain a patent.
The patent indicates the territory in which the foreigner has the right to work. So, if the document was issued in the Moscow region, a foreigner cannot work in Moscow. And, conversely, a patent issued in Moscow does not give the right to work outside its borders.
On a note! The employer must prevent double taxation, since there is a possibility of calculating personal income tax twice - when the employer accrues income and when paying advance payments for the patent. The employer is obliged to help the foreign employee reduce tax. To do this, it is enough to reflect this information in the 2-NDFL certificate.
It is also possible to receive a refund of overpaid income tax by a foreigner. The employer can also help the employee with this. The amount that is planned to be returned should not exceed the amount of the advance payment for the month. Also, the amount to be refunded depends on the employee’s income.
On a note! Since the sizes of monthly advance payments are different in all regions, the amounts to be returned will also be different.
How to make a tax refund
The return of tax to a foreign employee begins with the employer sending an application to the Federal Tax Service. Also, a certificate filled out in form 3-NDFL must be provided to the tax office. You need to have copies of receipts for advance payments with you. The documents must be sent to the department in which the employer is registered.
The response from the Federal Tax Service will come no later than 10 days after submitting the documents
The employee first worked on the basis of a permit, and then quit and was hired again the same year, but on the basis of a patent
In this case, the employer is obliged to recalculate the tax. This must be reflected in the 2-NDFL declaration as follows:
- You only need to submit one 2-NDFL certificate.
- In the line “Taxpayer Status” you need to enter code No. 6, as for an employee who works under a patent.
- The tax rate should be 13%.
When working on the basis of a permit, a 30% tax is deducted from the employee. When switching to a patent, the rate changes to 13%. Personal income tax must be recalculated for the entire current year, and the overpaid tax must be returned to the foreigner.
It does not matter in what month the notification from the fiscal authority arrived. The employer can reduce the tax for the entire year in which the permit was received. So, if the notification from the tax office arrived in April, and the validity of the patent begins in February, personal income tax can be recalculated for the entire time period from February to April.
What should I do if my tax refund was not made last year?
A situation often arises when, in the past year, a refund of overpaid personal income tax was not issued for an employee registered under a patent. In this case, it will no longer be possible to return the tax. The legislation does not provide for the possibility of a foreigner returning personal income tax in the past year.
The validity period of a patent covers two periods (years)
Many people who fill out the declaration do not know how to return the money if the patent expires over two periods. A tax refund is possible only after receiving a “permit” notification from the fiscal inspectorate. Returns can only be made in the year in which this notification was received. For example, a patent affects both 2021 and 2021. If the notification was received in 2018, then only the tax that was overpaid in 2021 can be refunded.
Example. A foreign employee with a patent was hired by a Russian company. The document is valid from November 1, 2017 to March 1, 2018. The new employee provided checks for payment of monthly advances in the amount of 20,000 rubles.
In 2021, the employer received a notification from the Federal Tax Service about the need to take into account advance payments when calculating personal income tax. Since permission from the fiscal authority was received in 2021, only that part of the payments that are included in this time period needs to be taken into account. This means that from the total amount paid for advance payments, you need to subtract what is due in 2017.
The period we are considering has 120 calendar days.
20,000 / 120 = 166.7 rubles
In 2021, the patent was valid for 61 days, so 166.7 * 61 = 10,168.7 rubles
In 2021, 20,000 – 10,168.7 = 9,831.3 rubles were paid
Thus, the employer can reduce the income tax of a foreign employee by 9,831.3 rubles.
Personal income tax of Ukrainian citizens with RVP 2021
Hiring citizens of Tajikistan in 2021. Having determined the status, residence and type of income paid, we look at what personal income tax rate should be applied. The tax status of the taxpayer is resident or non-resident.
Foreign citizens can work in Russia under a patent, temporarily. When payments in favor of foreigners are not subject to contributions in 2021.
However, for certain foreign borrowers, special rules remain relevant, which apply to the return of personal income tax to foreigners working under patents in 2021 and double taxation of personal income tax.
For foreign citizens who during the calendar year changed their status from non-resident to resident status of the Russian Federation, a system for recalculating personal income tax is provided. Insurance premiums for foreigners on patent in 2020.
Rules for the employment of foreign citizens with a temporary residence permit in 2021. At the moment, loans to foreign citizens with a temporary residence permit are not provided by this organization, just like credit cards.
And it turns out that a foreign citizen pays personal income tax twice.

- Monitor the registration of a Ukrainian citizen for migration registration with the Federal Migration Service. The law allows citizens of Ukraine to register later than others - they are given 90 days to do this. But, it is better to carry out this procedure earlier in order to quickly resolve the issue with the work. To obtain a registration order, the employer must contact the Federal Migration Service at the place of the migrant’s actual stay. The authorities must provide the employee’s internal passport, a stamped migration card, and a power of attorney to perform actions for the employing company. If the employee will live in a room or apartment allocated by the company, you must also bring documents proving the legal entity’s ownership of the premises provided.
- The second stage is obtaining a work permit for the migrant. This can be done some time later, after the migrant is registered. You again need to contact the territorial bodies of the Federal Migration Service at the place of residence of the citizen of Ukraine. The following documents will be required: a Ukrainian passport, a migration card with a registration mark, an application for obtaining a permit and a receipt for payment of the state fee. The issuance of residence and work permits in Russia is paid, therefore, you will have to pay a fee of 1,600 rubles. In the case where the documents are submitted by the employer, the period for preparing a residence permit is significantly reduced. The whole process will take about ten days. If the documents are submitted by a foreign citizen himself, you will have to wait several months.
- After issuing a temporary residence permit, a foreigner can be officially employed. But, before this, he must undergo a full medical examination to make sure that the person’s health allows him to work, and also that he does not pose a danger to other people. The employer independently sends the employee for examination; this must be done immediately after the permit is issued. Within a month after registration of the temporary residence permit, a health certificate must be submitted to the migration service, otherwise their decision will be cancelled.
- The final stage is the conclusion of an employment contract. This procedure is standard; not only migrants, but also residents of Russia undergo it when applying for a job. It is no different from the procedure for employing a Russian in a company. If a Ukrainian gets a job in Russia for the first time, his company must transfer information about the person to the Pension Fund and arrange insurance for him, if this is provided for by the company’s policy.

Taxpayer status has changed: what to do?
An employee's status may change during the year. Therefore, the final status is assigned based on the results of the reporting year. If the status has changed, the rate also changes. Therefore, the amount of income in this case must be recalculated.
For example, an employee has been working in a Russian company as a non-resident since January, and in May he became a resident. Until May, 30% was deducted from his income, and after six months of stay in the country, the rate changed to 13%. Personal income tax from January to May must be recalculated. And what was paid in excess must be returned to the foreign employee.
To do this, a foreigner needs to fill out the 3-NDFL form and, together with papers confirming his new status, go to the fiscal inspectorate.
On a note! It is the accountant's responsibility to check the taxpayer's status each time money is paid. This is especially important if the foreign employee receives money regularly.
