  • In accordance with paragraphs. 22 p. 1 of art. 264 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, other expenses related to production and (or) sale include entertainment expenses.

    According to paragraph 2 of Art. 264 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, representative expenses include the taxpayer's expenses for official reception and (or) servicing of representatives of other organizations participating in negotiations in order to establish and (or) maintain mutual cooperation, as well as participants who have arrived at meetings of the board of directors (management board) or other management of the taxpayer's body, regardless of the place where these events are held, including:

    Transport support for the delivery of these persons to the venue of the entertainment event and (or) the meeting of the governing body and back;

    Buffet service during negotiations;

    Payment for the services of non-taxpayer translators to provide translation during entertainment events.

    Note! If only employees of the organization take part in the event, then the costs of holding such an event cannot be taken into account when calculating income tax as representative.

    For example, an enterprise with many branches gathers employees from these branches for a production meeting. The expenses for holding such an event are not representative (Resolution of the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the East Siberian District of 11.08.2006 N А33-26560 / 04-С3-Ф02-3935 / 06-С1, А33-26560 / 04-С3-Ф02-4272 / 06- C1).

    Note! Tax legislation specifically identifies expenses that cannot be attributed to representation.

    In accordance with paragraph 2 of Art. 264 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, entertainment expenses do not include expenses for organizing entertainment, recreation, prevention and treatment of diseases.

    In accounting, entertainment expenses are accounted for as part of expenses for ordinary activities (debit of accounts 20 "Main production", 26 "General business expenses", 44 "Sales expenses") in the amount of actual costs incurred (without any rationing).

    For the recognition of entertainment expenses for the purpose of taxation of profits, it is necessary that they comply with the requirements of paragraph 1 of Art. 252 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, i.e. were reasonable, documented and related to the implementation of activities aimed at generating income.

    In this regard, in practice, the tax authorities quite often insist on the illegality of accounting for the purposes of taxation of the costs incurred associated with the official admission, in the event that specific results were not achieved as a result of the negotiations.

    However, the achievement of specific results is not a prerequisite for the inclusion of entertainment expenses in the composition of expenses that reduce the tax base for income tax. The main thing is to prove that the topic of the negotiations was related to the activities of the organization aimed at generating income.

    This is the approach that the courts adhere to when considering such disputes. So, for example, the FAS of the Ural District indicated that the link tax office the lack of connection between the disputed costs and specific income is illegal, since, given the nature of management costs, they cannot be associated with a specific income, such as material ones, that is, it is enough that they are, in principle, in an appropriate amount (Resolution of 17.06 .2004 N F09-2441 / 04-AK).

    Representation expenses during the reporting (tax) period are included in other expenses in the amount not exceeding 4% of the amount of the organization's expenses for labor remuneration for this reporting (tax) period.

    Thus, in order to determine the maximum amount of entertainment expenses, it is necessary to correctly calculate the amount of labor costs.

    For the purpose of taxation of profits, the composition of labor costs includes payments named in Art. 255 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

    When determining the standard of entertainment expenses, labor costs accrued in this reporting (tax) period are taken into account.

    For organizations that determine income and expenses on an accrual basis, entertainment expenses are classified as indirect expenses (clause 1 of article 318 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). That is, the amount of entertainment expenses incurred in the reporting (tax) period in full (within the calculated standard) refers to the expenses of the current reporting (tax) period.

    In accordance with paragraphs. 5 p. 7 art. 272 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, the date of the approval of the advance report is recognized as the date of entertainment expenses.

    In the event that an organization determines income and expenses on a cash basis, entertainment expenses are recognized only after their actual payment (Article 273 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

    Documentary confirmation

    In accordance with paragraph 1 of Art. 9 of the Law on Accounting, all business transactions carried out by an organization must be formalized by supporting documents. These documents serve as primary accounting documents on the basis of which accounting is kept.

    For profit tax purposes, in accordance with Art. 252 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, all expenses must be documented.

    Accordingly, the inclusion of entertainment expenses in the organization's expenses, both in accounting and in tax accounting, is possible only if there are primary accounting documents.

    To begin with, the organization should draw up an estimate of the entertainment costs for the current year. This estimate can be approved at the general meeting of participants (shareholders) of the organization or by the head of the organization.

    In addition, internal organizational and administrative documents should be issued (for example, it can be a provision on the conduct of entertainment events, approved by order of the head of the organization), which may reflect the following points:

    The procedure for issuing accountable amounts for entertainment expenses;

    The procedure for spending funds on entertainment expenses;

    The procedure for documentary registration of entertainment expenses;

    The procedure for exercising control over spending and writing off funds for entertainment expenses;

    Rationing of certain types of entertainment expenses (for example, the organization may set the maximum amount of expenses per person when holding entertainment events in a restaurant).

    In the future, the decision to hold each specific entertainment event must be accompanied by the following documents:

    The order of the head on the holding of the event and on the appointment of a person responsible for its holding. This order also reflects the purpose of the event;

    The program of the business meeting indicating the date, place and timing of the event, last name, first name, patronymic of the participants on the part of the host organization and on the part of the invitees and their positions, an approved estimate of entertainment expenses.

    On the basis of these documents, money is issued against the account.

    After the holding of each event, the person responsible for its holding draws up and submits to the accounting department documents confirming both the fact of the event itself and the amount of the actual costs of its holding.

    These documents include:

    Report on the meeting (list of issues under consideration, agreements reached, etc.);

    An advance report, which is accompanied by documents confirming the actual expenses incurred.

    Expenses for entertainment purposes can be confirmed by the following documents:

    Public catering enterprises accounts;

    Sales receipts;

    KKT checks;

    Documents confirming the payment of transportation costs;

    Documents confirming payment for the services of an interpreter;

    Waybills, sales and purchase acts, etc.

    In the Letter of the Federal Tax Service for Moscow dated 04/12/2007 N 20-12 / 034115, it is indicated that the following information should be reflected in the report on entertainment expenses drawn up after specific entertainment events:

    The purpose of the event and the results of its holding;

    Date and place of the event;

    The program of the event;

    Composition of invited delegations;

    Host participants;

    The amount of expenses for entertainment purposes.

    Note that the preparation of such reports, of course, is not a mandatory requirement, but their presence guarantees the absence of claims from the tax authorities. So, for example, from the Letter of the Federal Tax Service for Moscow from 22.12.2006 N 21-11 / [email protected] it follows that in the absence of the names of the persons who participated in the event in the report, the expenses incurred cannot be taken into account for the purposes of taxation of profits.

    At the same time, arbitration practice shows that the absence in the report of any information from those listed above cannot serve as a reason for refusing to accept the costs incurred. So, for example, the FAS of the Ural District (Resolution of 07.09.2005 N F09-3872 / 05-C7) came to the conclusion that tax legislation does not require mandatory inclusion in the list of documents confirming the implementation of hospitality expenses, a list of representatives of organizations participating in the negotiations and business meeting programs.

    By virtue of paragraph 2 of Art. 9 of the Law on Accounting, primary accounting documents are accepted for accounting if they are drawn up in the form contained in the albums of unified forms of primary accounting documentation, and documents, the form of which is not provided for in these albums, must contain the following mandatory details:

    a) the name of the document;

    b) date of preparation of the document;

    c) the name of the organization on behalf of which the document was drawn up;

    e) meters business transaction in kind and in monetary terms;

    f) the names of the positions of the persons responsible for the performance of the business transaction and the correctness of its registration;

    g) personal signatures of these persons.

    Thus, the primary documents confirming the entertainment expenses incurred must contain all the necessary details listed above.

    In the absence of supporting documents or in the absence of any mandatory details in the available documents, the tax authorities will most likely insist on the impossibility of recording the relevant expenses for tax purposes (see Letter of the Federal Tax Service for Moscow dated December 23, 2005 N 20-12 / 95338).

    Expenses for the official reception, buffet service

    Representative events can be held both on the territory of the organization itself, and in some other place, for example, in a cafe, restaurant, club, etc.

    When holding an event on the territory of an organization, entertainment expenses may include not only the cost of purchasing food, but also the cost of purchasing disposable tableware (Letter of the Federal Tax Service for Moscow dated 06.10.2006 N 2012 / 89121.2), paper napkins, tablecloths and etc.

    As a rule, all this is purchased by accountable persons for cash. Therefore, for documentary confirmation of such expenses in the organization, there must be expense reports with attached cash and sales receipts.

    If the event is held on the side (for example, in a restaurant), then the documentary evidence of expenses will be an invoice and a cashier's receipt.

    But the inclusion of restaurant rental costs in the entertainment expenses may lead to a dispute with the tax authority, since tax authorities, as a rule, insist that the list of entertainment expenses given in paragraph 2 of Art. 264 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, is closed. Expenses that are not named in it cannot be taken into account for tax purposes.

    As a rule, judges do not support such a “narrow” approach of the tax authorities. For example, the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the Moscow District agreed that the cost of renting a restaurant for an official reception can be attributed to entertainment expenses on the basis of paragraph 2 of Art. 264 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation (Resolution of 12.09.2005 N КА-А40 / 8426-05).

    However, hospitality should be distinguished from the cost of organizing entertainment and recreation.

    Here is the real situation. The organization rented a banquet hall for official negotiations. There were bowling alleys in this banquet hall. The organization did not use the bowling lanes, but paid for their rent, since one of the conditions for renting this banquet hall was the rent of the bowling lanes.

    According to the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the North-West District (Decree of October 27, 2005 N A56-3124 / 2005), the cost of renting bowling lanes is related to the expenses for organizing entertainment and recreation and, accordingly, cannot be attributed to entertainment expenses.

    Alcohol spending

    Special attention should be paid to the question of the possibility of attributing to entertainment expenses the costs of purchasing alcoholic beverages consumed during an official reception.

    For a number of years, the tax authorities have unequivocally argued that such costs do not belong to entertainment expenses, since they are not named in paragraph 2 of Art. 264 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

    However, recently, including under the influence of the established arbitration practice, the position of the controlling authorities has changed.

    The Ministry of Finance of Russia, in a Letter dated 16.08.2006 N 03-03-04 / 4/136, explained that the expenses of an organization for alcoholic beverages during an official reception may be included in entertainment expenses if they meet the criteria of clause 1 of Art. 252 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

    Arbitration courts, in the event of disputes regarding the possibility of attributing expenses for the purchase of alcoholic beverages to entertainment expenses for an official reception, also support taxpayers (Resolutions of the Federal Antimonopoly Service

    Volga district from 01.02.2005 N А57-1209 / 04-16, FAS of the North-Western district from 12.05.2005

    N A56-24907 / 04).

    Travel and accommodation expenses for event participants

    According to paragraph 2 of Art. 264 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, representative expenses include the expenses of an organization for the official reception and (or) servicing of representatives of other organizations participating in negotiations in order to establish and (or) maintain mutual cooperation, as well as participants who have arrived at meetings of the board of directors (management board) or other management of the taxpayer's body, regardless of the place where these events are held.

    Relevant for many organizations is the question of the possibility of attributing the costs of accommodation (hotel services) to representatives of third-party organizations who arrived to participate in official events as representative expenses.

    The tax authorities use their standard argument in answering this question. These costs are not named in paragraph 2 of Art. 264 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, therefore they cannot reduce the tax base for income tax (see Letters of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated 04.16.2007 N 03-03-06 / 1/235, FTS of Russia dated 04.18.2007 N 04-1-02 / [email protected], UFNS for Moscow from 12.04.2007 N 20-12 / 034115).

    but arbitration courts when disputes arise on this issue, as a rule, they hold the opposite opinion.

    So, for example, the FAS of the West Siberian District came to the conclusion that the "concept of" service "in the sense of clause 2 of article 264 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation has a wide range, which, in accordance with the provisions of article 11 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, can include security housing as a normal existence of a person who arrived from another settlement "(Resolution of 01.03.2007 N Ф04-9370 / 2006 (30552-А81-27)).

    Courts of other districts also come to the conclusion that the content of Art. 264 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation allows organizations to take into account expenses for hotel services for representatives of other organizations participating in official events as part of entertainment expenses (Resolutions of the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the Moscow District of December 23, 2004 N KA-A40 / 12097-04, FAS of the North-Western District of 05/17/2004 N A56-21571 / 03).

    Clause 2 of Art. 264 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, it is established that entertainment expenses include transport support for the delivery of officials participating in the negotiations to the place of the entertainment event and (or) meeting of the governing body and back.

    In the opinion of the tax authorities, this clause does not apply to the payment of the fare of negotiators from other cities or countries to the city in which the official event will take place (see Letter of the Federal Tax Service for Moscow dated July 14, 2006 N 28-11 / 62271).

    In the opinion of the tax authorities, on the basis of this provision, only the travel expenses of the invited invited persons to the place of the official event, for example, from the location of the host organization or from the hotel, are related to entertainment expenses.

    Thus, the inclusion in the hospitality expenses of travel expenses for participants from other cities (countries) to the city of the hospitality event will lead to a dispute with the tax authority. At the same time, an analysis of judicial practice shows that the judges do not support the tax authorities in this matter (Resolution of the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the Volga District of 31.08.2006 N A65-18519 / 2005-CA2-22).

    Keep in mind. If your organization does bear the costs of travel and accommodation for representatives of other organizations who came to the negotiations, the problem may arise not only taking these costs into account for purposes of taxation of profits.

    The tax authorities regard the payment of such expenses as payments to individuals. Accordingly, they insist that the cost of travel and accommodation should be included in the income of the respective individuals, which is subject to personal income tax in accordance with the generally established procedure (Letters of the Federal Tax Service of Russia of 18.04.2007 N 04-1-02 / [email protected], UFNS for Moscow from 14.07.2006 N 28-11 / 62271).

    Flowers and gifts

    A common situation is when partners who have come to negotiations are given some gifts - flowers, writing utensils, boxes of chocolates, etc. Flowers can be used to decorate a meeting room.

    Tax authorities generally object to accounting for such costs for profit tax purposes. For example, in the Letter of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated 16.08.2006 N 03-03-04 / 4/136 it is stated that the cost of purchasing souvenirs for business partners cannot be taken into account for tax purposes as part of entertainment expenses.

    At the same time, representatives of the Ministry of Finance of Russia admit the possibility of taking into account the cost of souvenirs with the symbols of the organization as part of entertainment expenses,

    presented during an official reception in accordance with the custom of business turnover to representatives of counterparty organizations (Letter dated 16.08.2004 N 02-5-10 / 51).

    Accordingly, it is likely that it will be necessary to prove the legality of including such expenses in the composition of entertainment expenses in court. A arbitrage practice on this issue today is ambiguous.

    In some cases, the courts consider that these expenses should be included in the entertainment expenses (Resolutions of the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the West Siberian District of 11.05.2006 N F04-2610 / 2006 (22165-A46-40), Volga District of 01.02.2005 N A57-1209 / 04-16).

    However, in other cases, the judges take the following position: the composition of entertainment expenses is really unlimited, however, the taxpayer is obliged to prove the economic justification of the costs of purchasing flowers, and if he cannot do this, these expenses cannot be attributed to representative expenses (Resolution of the FAS Volgo-Vyatsky district of 15.03.2006 N А29-1822 / 2005а).

    other expenses

    Quite often, situations arise when it is difficult to determine whether the costs of certain events are attributed to entertainment expenses or not.

    For example, formal events - business negotiations are held over several days. The organization pays for breakfasts, lunches and dinners, which are not of an official nature, for representatives of third parties.

    The Ministry of Finance of Russia, in its Letter dated 05.04.2005 N 03-03-01-04 / 1/157, explained that the expenses for breakfasts, lunches and dinners, which are not of an official nature, should be paid by representatives of delegations who arrived at the negotiations, at the expense of per diem, paid when sending employees, or at their own expense.

    Another controversial issue. Clause 2 of Art. 264 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation established that entertainment expenses include the cost of reception and service:

    Representatives of other organizations involved in the negotiations;

    Participants attending a meeting of the board of directors (management board) or other governing body.

    However, in practice, organizations often incur the costs of hiring other persons, such as members of the audit committee.

    Does the organization have the right to classify the costs of receiving and servicing such persons as representative?

    The tax authorities give a negative answer. First of all, they refer to paragraph 1 of Art. 252 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, namely that any costs are recognized as expenses, provided that they are made to carry out activities aimed at generating income. And in the situation under consideration, there is no connection with activities aimed at generating income.

    In addition, members of the audit committee do not belong to the governing body.

    It should also be borne in mind that the position of the tax authorities is that the list of entertainment expenses given in paragraph 2 of Art. 264 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation is exhaustive, accordingly, everything that is not named in it does not apply to entertainment expenses accounted for for tax purposes.

    In particular, according to the tax authorities, they do not apply to entertainment expenses:

    Costs for issuing visas for foreign partners (Letter from the UMNS for Moscow from 13.02.2002 N 26-12 / 6751);

    Costs for registration of premises for an official reception (Letter from the UMNS for Moscow dated January 22, 2004 N 26-08 / 4777);

    The cost of renting the premises where the official reception is held (Letter of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated March 12, 2003 N 04-02-03 / 29);

    Expenses for holding an informal meeting (in a cafe) with potential partners (suppliers) organized by an employee of the organization who is on a business trip in the city of residence of these partners (Letter of the Federal Tax Service for Moscow dated 05.16.2006 N 20-12 / 41851);

    The costs of receiving and servicing clients - individuals (Letter of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated November 24, 2005 N 03-03-04 / 2/119).

    However, this position of the tax authorities is successfully challenged by taxpayers in courts.

    The courts, as a rule, agree that the list of entertainment expenses is not closed, and when resolving the issue of attributing expenses to entertainment expenses, first of all, one should proceed from their economic justification (see, for example, Resolution of the FAS of the Volgo-Vyatka District of 15.03 .2006 N A29-1822 / 2005a).

    Personal income tax and UST

    Holding an official event, the organization pays for entertainment expenses, in particular, for the transport services of invited persons, pays for meals, etc.

    In this regard, the question arises: is this income of invited persons received in kind, and is it subject to personal income tax?

    The tax authorities, in response to specific questions, clarify that in accordance with paragraph 3 of Art. 217 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation are not subject to personal income tax (exempt from taxation) all types of compensation payments established by the current legislation of the Russian Federation, legislative acts of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, decisions of the representative bodies of local self-government (within the limits established in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation) related to fulfillment of labor duties by the taxpayer.

    The amount of entertainment expenses that the organization makes within the limits established by the legislation (subparagraph 22 of paragraph 1 of article 264 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation) refer to compensation payments related to the performance of labor duties and are not subject to inclusion in the taxable income of individuals in accordance with paragraph 3 tbsp. 217 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

    In some cases, this conclusion is supported by the arbitration courts (Resolutions of the FAS of the Volga District of 03.16.2006 N A72-5629 / 05-6 / 435, A72-5959 / 05-6 / 450, of the Ural District of 05.16.2006 N F09-2876 / 06-C2).

    However, in our opinion, the approach here should be completely different. Hospitality expenses are inherently expenses of the organization (in the interests of the organization) and therefore cannot be recognized as payments in favor of individuals, regardless of whether they were made within the limits established by paragraph 2 of Art. 264 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, or exceed the established limit.

    Note that this logic finds understanding among judges (Resolutions of the FAS Central District from 18.08.2004 N A64-1002 / 04-13, the Volga region dated 10.04.2007 N A72-7503 / 06-7 / 283 and from 24.11.2005 N A65-3726 / 2005-CA1-37).

    In accordance with paragraph 1 of Art. 236 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, the object of taxation for the unified social tax is recognized as payments and other remuneration accrued by taxpayers in favor of individuals under labor and civil law contracts, the subject of which is the performance of work, the provision of services (with the exception of remuneration paid to individual entrepreneurs), as well as copyright agreements.

    Hospitality expenses are not payments and other remuneration accrued in favor of individuals under labor and civil law contracts and included in the wages fund, but are other expenses associated with the production and (or) sale of products, and therefore are not subject to UST. (see Letter of the Federal Tax Service of Russia for Moscow from 22.12.2006 N 21-11 / [email protected]).

    This conclusion is fully confirmed by the arbitration practice (Resolution of the FAS North Caucasian District from 28.04.2006 N Ф08-1641 / 2006-682А).

    Value added tax

    In accordance with paragraph 7 of Art. 171 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, tax amounts paid on entertainment expenses included in expenses when calculating corporate income tax are subject to deductions.

    Since the entertainment expenses in accordance with paragraph 2 of Art. 264 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation are accounted for for tax purposes in accordance with the standards established by this paragraph, the amount of VAT on such expenses is subject to deduction in the amount corresponding to the established standards.

  • Other costs associated with production and distribution include:

    Amounts of taxes and fees, customs duties and fees, insurance premiums in extrabudgetary funds;

    Contributions for compulsory social insurance against industrial accidents and occupational diseases, made in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation;

    The employer's expenses for the payment of benefits for temporary disability in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation (except for accidents at work and occupational diseases) for the days of temporary disability of the employee, which are paid at the expense of the employer;

    Expenses for ensuring normal working conditions and safety measures provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation, as well as expenses for the treatment of occupational diseases of workers employed in jobs with harmful or difficult working conditions (subparagraph 7 of paragraph 1 of article 264 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). Normal working conditions, in particular, include (Article 163 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation):

    good condition of premises, structures, machines, technological equipment and equipment;

    timely provision of technical and other necessary documentation for work;

    proper quality of materials, tools, other means and items necessary for the performance of work, their timely provision to the employee;

    working conditions that meet the requirements of labor protection and production safety.

    The costs of recruiting employees, including the costs of the services of specialized organizations for the selection of personnel (clause 8, clause 1, article 264 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). However, in the event that the organization did not actually recruit them, including as a result of considering candidates submitted by specialized recruitment companies, they cannot be considered as economically justified expenses and taken into account for tax purposes;

    Payments for leased property (subparagraph 10 of paragraph 1 of article 264 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). The size lease payments and the procedure for their transfer is determined by an agreement concluded in the manner prescribed by civil legislation. In this case, these payments are included in the composition of expenses regardless of the state registration of the lease agreement. If the lease agreement assigns repair obligations to the lessee, the costs of repairing the leased fixed assets are included by the lessee in other expenses in the manner prescribed by Article 260 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation;

    Travel expenses;

    Expenses for the maintenance of official vehicles, as well as expenses for compensation for the use of personal cars and motorcycles for business trips within the limits established by the government of the Russian Federation;

    Legal and information services costs;

    Consulting and other similar services costs;

    Public and (or) private notary fees for notarization;

    Expenses for accounting services provided by third-party organizations or individual entrepreneurs;

    Audit costs;

    The costs of managing an organization or its individual divisions;

    Expenses for the publication of financial statements, as well as the publication and other disclosure of other information, if the taxpayer is obliged by the legislation of the Russian Federation to publish (disclose) them;

    Expenses related to the submission of forms and information of state statistical observation;

    Expenses for stationery, postage, telephone, telegraph and other similar services;

    Expenses for payment of communication services, computing centers and banks;

    Expenses for the current study (research) of the market situation, collection of information directly related to the production and sale of goods (works, services);

    Loss from marriage;

    Expenses under civil contracts (including work contracts) concluded with individual entrepreneurs who are not on the staff of the organization (subparagraph 41 of paragraph 1 of article 264 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation);

    Advertising costs. For tax purposes, the costs of advertising produced (purchased) and (or) sold goods (works, services), taxpayer activities, trademarks and service marks, including participation in exhibitions and fairs, are taken into account (subparagraph 28, paragraph 1 of article 264 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation ).

    for participation in exhibitions, fairs, expositions, for window dressing, exhibitions -
    sales, sample rooms and showrooms, the production of advertising brochures and catalogs containing information about the work and services performed and provided by the organization, and (or) about the organization itself, to markdown goods that have been lost
    their original qualities when exhibited.

    These expenses for tax purposes can be taken into account without restrictions (subject to the availability of supporting documents).

    Expenses for the purchase of prizes, which are awarded to the winners of the draws during mass advertising campaigns, as well as expenses for other types of advertising (not mentioned above) can be taken into account in taxation in an amount not exceeding 1% of sales proceeds;

    Representation costs associated with the official reception and service of representatives of other organizations participating in the negotiations in order to establish and maintain cooperation (clause 22, clause 1 of article 264 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

    Representation expenses include the taxpayer's expenses for the official reception and (or) servicing of representatives of other organizations participating in negotiations in order to establish and (or) maintain mutual cooperation, as well as participants who have arrived at meetings of the board of directors (management board) or other governing body of the taxpayer, regardless of the location of these events. Hospitality expenses include the costs of holding an official reception (breakfast, lunch or other similar event) for the specified persons, as well as officials of the taxpayer organization participating in the negotiations, transport provision for the delivery of these persons to the venue of the entertainment event and (or) a meeting of the executive authority and back, buffet service during negotiations, payment for the services of interpreters who are not on the taxpayer's staff, to provide translation during entertainment events. Representation expenses during the reporting (tax) period are included in other expenses in the amount not exceeding 4 percent of the taxpayer's expenses for labor remuneration for this reporting (tax) period;

    Expenses for training and retraining of personnel. These costs can be taken into account in taxation in full, but for this certain conditions must be met:

    training in basic and additional professional educational programs, vocational training and retraining of taxpayer employees are carried out on the basis of an agreement with Russian educational institutions that have the appropriate license, or foreign educational institutions that have the appropriate status;

    training in basic and additional vocational educational programs, vocational training and retraining undergoes employees of the taxpayer who have concluded an employment contract with the taxpayer, or individuals who have entered into an agreement with the taxpayer, providing for the obligation of an individual no later than three months after the end of the specified training, vocational training and retraining, paid by the taxpayer, conclude an employment contract with him and work for the taxpayer for at least one year. If the employment contract between the specified individual and the taxpayer was terminated before the expiration of one year from the date of its commencement, except for cases of termination of the employment contract due to circumstances beyond the control of the parties (Article 83 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation), the taxpayer must include in non-operating income of the reporting (tax) period in which this employment contract was terminated, the amount of fees for education, vocational training or retraining of the relevant individual, previously taken into account when calculating the tax base. If the employment contract of an individual with a taxpayer was not concluded after three months after the end of training, vocational training or retraining paid by the taxpayer, these expenses are also included in the non-sales income of the reporting (tax) period in which this term for concluding the employment contract expired ...

    The taxpayer is obliged to keep documents confirming the costs of training for the entire period of validity of the relevant training contract and one year of work of an individual whose training, vocational training or retraining was paid for by the taxpayer, in accordance with the employment contract concluded with the taxpayer, but not less than four years ;

    Expenses for the provision of services for warranty repair and maintenance (including deductions to the corresponding reserve) (subparagraph 9 of paragraph 1 of article 264 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). Such a reserve is entitled to create organizations that sell goods or work (Article 267 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation) in cases where contracts with buyers provide for maintenance and repairs during the warranty period. The reserve for warranty repairs is not formed at a time at the beginning of a quarter (year), but gradually - as the goods (work) are sold. The Tax Code of the Russian Federation normalizes the size of the reserve for warranty repairs and warranty service. It should not be more than the value of the goods sold under the condition of the guarantee, multiplied by the proportion of the actual expenses for warranty repairs in the organization's revenue from the sale of such goods for the previous three years.

    Non-operating expenses- these are all economically justified costs of the organization that are not directly related to production or sale (Article 265 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

    When determining the tax base, expenses are not taken into account, the list of which is given in Art. 270 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, it is not closed. Therefore, if the expenses are not documented, will not be economically justified or are associated with an activity for which income is not received, such expenses will not deduct the taxable base.
