Agreement for services for organizing enterprise management. Expenses for company management services. Trustee's remuneration

Currently, the current legislation of the Russian Federation allows for the possibility of concluding an agreement with an individual entrepreneur on the paid provision of services for managing the company. Meanwhile, regulatory authorities consider such agreements, as a rule, as an option for tax avoidance. In particular, claims are inevitable if an entrepreneur applies the simplified tax system and pays tax at rate 6  %. Can they be challenged?

Introductory part.

The question of the legality of transferring the powers of the head of a legal entity to an individual – a manager registered as an individual entrepreneur – currently has no clear solution.

On the one hand, part 3 of Art. 5.27 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation provides for liability for evasion or improper execution of an employment contract or the conclusion of a civil law contract, whereas in fact there are labor relations. A fine for offenses of this kind may be imposed:

  • for officials - in the amount of 10,000 to 20,000 rubles;
  • on legal entities– from 50,000 to 100,000 rubles.

On the other hand, the current legislation does not directly prohibit the conclusion of an agreement with an entrepreneur on the provision of paid services for the management of the company.

Consequently, formally, the organization has the right to transfer the powers of the executive body to the manager - an individual who has the status of an entrepreneur. The implementation of this right depends on the will of the organization itself. Moreover, such a transfer for an organization in equally both attractive and dangerous from a tax point of view.

What is the tax benefit?

Comparative characteristics of civil law and labor relations in the analyzed situation, for convenience, we present it in a table. Let us assume that the contract establishes the manager’s remuneration in the amount of 50,000 rubles.

Indicators

Labor relations with an individual

Civil relations with individual entrepreneurs

Subject of the agreement

Execution by an individual labor function

Performing individual entrepreneurs of a certain type of service

Validity

Indefinite or fixed-term (if the employment contract is concluded for a certain period)

A civil contract is always concluded for a certain period

Responsibilities of a tax agent

The employer, as a tax agent, is obliged to calculate and withhold personal income tax when paying income to an employee and transfer it to the budget

The customer does not have the responsibilities of a tax agent, since all taxes on income are paid by the individual entrepreneur himself

Personal income tax – 6,500 rubles. (RUB 50,000 x 13%); insurance premiums(at basic tariffs) – Pension Fund of the Russian Federation (22 %), Social Insurance Fund (2.9 %), Compulsory Medical Insurance (5.1 %) – 15,000  rub. (RUB 50,000 x 30%); insurance premiums for “injury” (for example, for class V professional risk the tariff is 0.6%) – 300 rub. (RUB 50,000 x 0.6%)

USNO – 3,000 rub. (RUB 50,000 x 6%); insurance premiums are paid by the entrepreneur

RUB 21,800 (RUB 6,500 is withheld from the employee’s income)

3 000 rub. (paid by the entrepreneur himself)

As we can see, with the second version of the relationship, the organization can significantly save on the payment of fiscal payments. Another undoubted advantage of this option is urgent nature relationship between the parties (which guarantees the absence of problems associated with the reduction or dismissal of an employee).

Meanwhile, tax authorities often consider the transfer of powers to manage an organization to an entrepreneur using the simplified tax system as a tax evasion scheme, the purpose of which is to avoid the responsibilities of a tax agent for personal income tax. At the same time, arbitration practice in such disputes is ambiguous. And given that since 2017, relationships in the field of insurance premiums are regulated by the provisions of Chapter. 34 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, it can be assumed that disputes about the legality of transferring powers to manage a company to an entrepreneur using the simplified tax system (due to a reduction in the amount of insurance premiums) will flare up with renewed vigor.

Examples of court decisions.

A striking example of a positive decision for the organization is the Resolution of AS PO dated January 22, 2015 No. F 06-18785/2013 in case No. A 65-8559/2014. The essence controversial situation, which arose in 2011, is as follows.

Based on the results of the inspection of the company, inspectors considered that the transfer of powers of its director to an entrepreneur (one of the company’s participants) on the basis of an agreement paid provision services for managing the current financial and economic activities of the company were carried out for the purpose of evading personal income tax (claim amount – 669 thousand rubles).

However, the courts (all three instances) did not see in the company’s actions a scheme aimed at obtaining unjustified tax benefits. In doing so, they gave the following arguments.

Society in accordance with Art. 42 of Law No. 14-FZ has the right to transfer, under an agreement, the exercise of the powers of its executive body to the manager. Such transfer of powers to the manager is the prerogative of the company, since the resolution of this issue is within the competence of the general meeting of the company’s participants or its board of directors (supervisory board), if the latter is provided for by the charter (clause 2, clause 2.1, article 32, clause 4, clause 2, art. 33 of Law No. 14-FZ).

The coincidence of the powers of the general director with the powers of the manager is due to their performance of the same functions in managing the company, which directly follows from Art. 40 and 42 of Law No. 14-FZ. This circumstance cannot prove the imaginary nature of the agreement on the transfer of powers of the sole executive body to the manager.

The arbitrators of the AS PO also emphasized that the mere registration of an entrepreneur to enter into a disputed agreement does not indicate the illegality of the actions of the parties to the transaction. In turn, having the status of an entrepreneur entails not only the possibility of applying a 6% tax rate (of course, if the entrepreneur applies the simplified tax system with the object of taxation “income”), but also increased liability for obligations.

The interdependence of the company and the manager (the latter, we recall, was one of its participants), according to the judges of the AS PO, does not clearly indicate that the tax benefit received was unjustified. The latter can only be considered unfounded if interdependence influenced pricing.

Note:

The price of a contract for paid services includes compensation for the contractor’s costs and the remuneration due to him (Part.2 tbsp. 709 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). Income received from providing paid services, are included in the “simplified” tax base. According to the Ministry of Finance, compensation for the manager’s costs incurred in the exercise of the powers of the sole executive body should be included in the income taken into account when calculating the “simplified” tax (see Letter No. dated 04/28/2014  03‑11‑11/19830).

At the same time, other conclusions in a similar situation were made by the judges of the FAS UO in Resolution dated June 11, 2012 No. F 09-4929/12 in case No. A50-19343/2011. In this dispute, tax authorities were able to prove that the powers of the sole executive body of the company were transferred to an individual entrepreneur in order to obtain an unjustified tax benefit. The outcome of the dispute was influenced by the following circumstances of the case:

  • the registration of the manager as an individual entrepreneur was carried out just a few days before the company made a decision to transfer the powers of the manager to him and was terminated immediately after the termination of the agreement on the provision of paid services for the management of the company;
  • the entrepreneur did not show due business activity– all actions related to registration, making changes to the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs, submitting tax returns carried out by the company's lawyer in the absence of payment for services rendered by the entrepreneur;
  • the amount of income paid to the manager is as close as possible to the income limit that allows the use of the simplified tax system;
  • the entrepreneur had no other clients besides the company;
  • the contract for the provision of management services with the individual entrepreneur contained signs of an employment relationship;
  • The manager’s work schedule coincided with the work schedule of the company’s employees.

Taking into account these circumstances, the courts came to the conclusion that the agreement on the transfer of powers of the sole executive body to the manager, concluded between the company and the entrepreneur, is a labor agreement and was drawn up in order to obtain an unjustified tax benefit.

What's the end result?

So, the conclusion of an agreement on the transfer of powers of the sole executive body of the company to an entrepreneur from the point of view of current legislation is not illegal, and the exercise of the powers of the sole executive body is illegal business activity. This agreement by its nature is considered a mixed civil law agreement, since it contains certain elements of contracts of agency, trust management of property, and paid services.

Moreover, from paragraphs. 2 clause 2.1 art. 32 Law no.  14-FZ follows that not any citizen can be a manager, but only one who is an individual entrepreneur. After all, entrepreneurial activity without the formation of a legal entity, in contrast to work for hire, presupposes independently organized initiative activity of the subject at his own risk without subordination to the rules labor regulations adopted in a particular organization. In other words, the legislator in the analyzed situation initially intends to establish not labor, but civil law relations.

In this case, the entrepreneur (see Resolution of the Ninth Arbitration Court of Appeal dated 06/05/2017 No.  09AP-19171/2017 in case No. A 40-11416/2016):

  • is in civil legal relations with the company on the basis of a paid service agreement;
  • is referred to as a “manager” and is designated as a “manager” in contracts concluded on behalf of the company with counterparties, financial and official documentation, as well as in business correspondence;
  • has the right to receive payment for services rendered by him as the manager of the company;
  • acquires the rights and obligations to manage the current activities of the company on the basis of Law No.14-FZ, other legal acts of the Russian Federation and agreements.

The relationship between the company and the manager, regulated by a contract for the provision of services, is not subject to the labor legislation of the Russian Federation. From Law no.  14‑FZ it follows that the action labor legislation applies only to relations between the company and the sole executive body of the company (director, general director) (but not the manager) and only to the extent that does not contradict the provisions of the said law.

Let us remind you that distinctive characteristics labor relations are (Articles 15, 16, 56 – 59 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation):

  • hiring an employee to a position provided for in the staffing table or assigning a specific job function to him;
  • issuance of an order for his employment indicating the position, salary and other essential working conditions;
  • remuneration of the employee at tariff rates or official salary (that is, the process of performing the labor function itself is paid, and not its final result);
  • subordination of the employee to internal labor regulations.

In this regard, in the contract with the manager, in our opinion, it is inappropriate to include such elements of the employment contract as the systematic daily performance of a certain type of work by the contractor, fixed wages in the form hourly rates(otherwise, there is a high probability that tax authorities and courts will reclassify a civil contract into an employment contract). Moreover, by virtue of paragraph 5 of Art. 38 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, the results of services provided for company management do not have a unit of measurement, quantitative volume and price of a unit of measurement. The manager is given the entire volume (and not part) of the powers of the sole executive body, therefore he is also remunerated for managing all current activities without reference to any specific volume of powers performed.

In the above judicial acts, the claims of the controllers arose only in terms of personal income tax, since from 2010 to 2017, extra-budgetary funds were involved in the administration of insurance premiums. Currently, the corresponding powers have again been transferred to the tax authorities (Chapter 34 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). And this circumstance, in our opinion, will only aggravate the situation - now they have an additional incentive to prove that the transfer of powers of the sole executive body of the company to the entrepreneur had no effect business purpose and was pretending. Similar disputes have already arisen before (see, for example, the decisions of the Federal Antimonopoly Service dated February 14, 2013 in case No. A 65-15483/2012, FAS UO dated September 10, 2007 No. F 09-7158/07‑С2 in case no. A 71-226/07, which dealt not only with personal income tax, but also with unified social tax - the predecessor of current insurance premiums). You should also pay attention to the Decree of the AS FEB dated November 28, 2017 No. F 03-4497/2017 in case no.A73-3767/2017, in which the arbitrators agreed with the arguments of the auditors from the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation that the agreement concluded by the company with the entrepreneur using the simplified tax system for transferring to him the powers to manage the company was, in fact, an employment contract. Therefore, insurance premiums had to be calculated on the amount of payments. In support of their position, the judges pointed out that the contract did not define the terms for the provision of services characteristic of civil law relations (start date and end date), the possible number of stages, or the result achieved by the contractor upon completion of the provision of services. On the contrary, it spelled out the duties characteristic of the labor function that this entrepreneur performed as the head of this company, and not as a manager.

Simplified taxation system: accounting and taxation, No. 7, 2018

The founders of our organization entered into an agreement for the provision of organization management services with a manager who has the status of an individual entrepreneur. The tax authorities filed claims against us - in their opinion, the conclusion of this agreement is contrary to current legislation, and the head of the organization must work according to labor contract. Is such a formalization of the relationship between the organization and the manager legal?

IN Labor Code a manager is understood as an individual who, in accordance with the law or the constituent documents of an organization, manages this organization, including performing the functions of its single executive body (Article 273 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). In most cases, the head of an organization carries out his functions on the basis of an employment agreement (contract) concluded with him, taking into account the provisions of Chapter 43 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

However, the provisions of Chapter 43 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation do not apply to cases of management of an organization under an agreement with an individual entrepreneur (manager). Such relations will be regulated not by labor law, but by civil law. Let's consider options for their registration, as well as the tax consequences of such transactions for the enterprise.

Option 1

An agreement for the provision of paid services has been concluded with an individual entrepreneur performing management functions in an organization.

According to paragraph 1 of Article 69 of the Law of December 26, 1995 N 208-FZ “On joint stock companies"The powers of the sole executive body of a joint-stock company (director, general director) can be transferred by agreement to an entrepreneur (manager). Such a decision is made by the general meeting of shareholders on the proposal of the board of directors or the supervisory board of the company.

The transfer of powers of the sole executive body of the LLC to the manager is also allowed by Article 42 of the Law of February 8, 1998 N 14-FZ “On Limited Liability Companies” (if this is provided for by the charter of the LLC).

In this case, we can talk about the organization concluding a contract for the provision of paid services with a person who will perform management functions.

Taxation of income of a manager...

Under the generally accepted taxation system

The manager’s income received as remuneration for services performed will be subject to taxation general rules, defined in Chapters 23 and 24 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

Example 1

Under the contract for the provision of paid services, the manager received remuneration for 2003 in the amount of 720,000 rubles. Expenses associated with the provision of services under the contract (car maintenance, provision of communication services, etc.) amounted to 100,000 rubles. An entrepreneur is exempt from paying VAT (Article 145 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

Let us assume that the amount of costs associated with the provision of services under a management agreement is fully included in the expenses of the entrepreneur-manager.

In this case, the amount of personal income tax payable for the year will be 80,600 rubles. (RUB 720,000 - RUB 100,000) x 13%).

The amount of the unified social tax will be calculated based on the amount of remuneration of the entrepreneur-manager minus the amount of expenses incurred by him related to the provision of management services (RUB 620,000). Since the manager’s income exceeds 600,000 rubles, the amount of the Unified Tax will be (see clause 3 of Article 241 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation): 38,950 rubles. + (620,000 rub. - 600,000 rub.) x 2% = 39,350 rub.

The amount of the fixed payment for insurance premiums for compulsory pension insurance for 2003 will be: 150 rubles. x 12 months = 1800 rub.

Note

According to paragraph 1 of Article 28 of the Law of December 15, 2001 N 167-FZ “On Compulsory Pension Insurance in the Russian Federation,” individual entrepreneurs pay such contributions in the form of a fixed payment. In 2003, the Government of the Russian Federation did not approve the value of the cost of the insurance year, and therefore the entrepreneur makes a fixed payment to minimum size- 150 rub. per month (for more details, see Article 28 of Law No. 167-FZ and the Rules approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of March 11, 2003 No. 148).

In the future, the amount of insurance contributions for compulsory pension insurance is counted towards the payment of the unified social tax in the part credited to the federal budget.

The manager’s income minus expenses incurred and taxes paid will be 500,050 rubles. (RUB 720,000 - RUB 100,000 - RUB 80,600 - RUB 39,350).

When using the simplified tax system

In this case, payment of a single tax by the manager entails exemption of income from entrepreneurial activity from personal income tax and unified social tax. At the same time, entrepreneurs using the simplified tax system remain payers of insurance premiums for compulsory pension insurance (clause 3 of article 346.11 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

Example 2

The manager's remuneration for the year is 720,000 rubles, the amount of expenses is 100,000 rubles. The object of taxation under the simplified tax system is income (according to clause 1 of Article 346.20 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, the single tax rate will be 6%).

The amount of single tax under the simplified tax system payable for the year will be: 720,000 rubles. x 6% = 43,200 rub.

In this case, the entrepreneur will not be a payer of unified social tax and personal income tax.

The amount of insurance contributions for compulsory pension insurance will be determined based on the size of the annual amount of fixed payments (as in the previous example, it will be 1,800 rubles).

The manager’s income minus expenses and taxes and fees will be 575,000 rubles. (720,000 - 100,000 - 43,200 rubles - 1800).

The object of taxation under the simplified tax system is income reduced by the amount of expenses (according to clause 2 of Article 346.20 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, the single tax rate is 15%).

The amount of the single tax will be:

(720,000 rub. - 100,000 rub.) x 15% = 93,000 rub.

Personal income tax and unified social tax are not paid, and the amount of insurance contributions for compulsory pension insurance will also be 1,800 rubles.

As a result, the manager’s income minus expenses and tax payments will be 525,200 (720,000 - 100,000 - 93,000 - 1800).

Option 2

A property trust management agreement has been concluded with the individual entrepreneur who manages the organization.

In this case, according to clause 1 of Article 1012 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, one party (the founder of the management) transfers property to trust management for a certain period of time to the other party (the trustee), and the other party undertakes to manage this property in the interests of the founder of the management or the person specified by him ( actually we're talking about on the exercise of the powers of the property owner). At the same time, among the objects of trust management, clause 1 of Article 1013 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation names enterprises and other property complexes. In the situation under consideration, on the basis of Article 1014 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the founders of trust management will be the owners of the enterprise (shareholders, founders).

For your information

To carry out trust management, a citizen must register as an individual entrepreneur (Clause 1 of Article 1015 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).

To the number mandatory conditions The trust management agreements include the following (clause 1 of Article 1016 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation):

Composition of the transferred property;

The name of the legal entity or the name of the citizen in whose interests the property is managed (the founder of the management or the beneficiary);

The amount and form of remuneration to the manager, if its payment is provided for in the contract;

The validity period of the agreement (in accordance with clause 2 of Article 1016 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation cannot exceed 5 years).

The trustee is obliged to provide the management founder (beneficiary) with a report on the results of his activities within the time frame and in the manner established by the agreement (clause 4 of Article 1020 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).

According to Article 1023 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the manager has the right to remuneration stipulated by the contract, as well as to reimbursement of necessary expenses incurred during the management of property from income from its use. At the same time, the manager cannot be a beneficiary under this agreement (clause 3 of Article 1015 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation), that is, he can only receive remuneration for the implementation of trust management in the amount determined by the agreement.

The procedure for taxing the income of a trustee as a whole will not differ from that indicated above for cases of receiving remuneration under contracts for the provision of paid services and will completely depend on the taxation system used by the entrepreneur (generally accepted or simplified).

For comparison, we give an example of calculating the amount of tax payments if a similar remuneration is paid to the head of an organization who is in an employment relationship with it.

Example 3

The salary of the head of the organization for 2003 amounted to 620,000 rubles. (assume that the expenses indicated in the previous examples in the amount of 100,000 rubles were incurred by the organization).

The amount of unified social tax and insurance contributions for compulsory pension insurance will be 106,000 rubles. (RUB 105,600 + (RUB 620,000 - RUB 600,000) x 2%).

Personal income tax amount: 620,000 rubles. x 13% = 80,600 rub.

The manager’s income minus tax payments will be 539,400 rubles. (620,000 - 80,600).

In this case, the amount of the manager’s actual income will be comparable to that arising when applying the simplified tax system. At the same time, the organization will incur expenses in the amount of RUB 826,000. (taking into account possible expenses for the maintenance of transport, communications, etc. (100,000 rubles), as well as for the payment of unified social tax and insurance contributions for compulsory pension insurance). And in the situations discussed above (examples 1 and 2), the amount of expenses was 720,000 rubles.

In conclusion, we can say that the assignment management functions on managers who have the status of individual entrepreneurs, does not contradict current labor, civil and tax laws. In addition, the tax regime for the income of such entrepreneurs allows, in some cases, to reduce the tax burden on the enterprise. However, when making such decisions, organizations need to carefully analyze both the emerging legal consequences of involving entrepreneurs in management (for example, when concluding a trust management agreement), and the possible level of tax burden on the organization, which will depend on a number of factors (the amount of expenses for maintaining a manager, etc. .d.).
