Why are standard tax deductions necessary?
The standard deduction allows you to reduce your income by a certain amount in order to withhold less income tax. This right is enshrined in Art. 218 Tax Code of the Russian Federation. The employee independently decides whether to take advantage of this right to standard deductions or not. He himself is obliged to provide the accounting department with documents for standard deductions for children in 2021 and write a statement so that the employer - tax agent correctly calculates and withholds income tax taking into account standard deductions . This responsibility lies with the individual taxpayer, not the accountant, and it is up to the employee to decide whether he wants to take the standard deduction or not.
The limit for the standard deduction for children in 2017 is as follows: 350,000 rubles. If year-to-date cumulative income exceeds this limit for the standard child deduction in 2017 , then the right to use the deduction is lost from that month.
Deduction code 2-NDFL for a child: what has changed
In 2021, the Federal Tax Service approved new deduction codes for children. Since 2017, codes 114-125 have been replaced by 126-149. Let's give an example. If deduction code 126 is indicated in the 2-NDFL certificate, it means that the employee received a deduction for the first child who is under 18 years old or is a student/graduate student (up to 24 years old), or a full-time student. Previously, code 114 was indicated for this deduction.

Personal income tax tax code of the Russian Federation 2021 latest edition: what codes should be used?

This is an identification section, where it is important to indicate not only the serial number of the document and its date, but also indicate the attribute (tax calculated and withheld - 1, no possibility of withholding tax - 2). Next, you should reflect the adjustment number, if it is a corrective document, enter the inspection code and proceed to filling out information on the tax agent.
2-NDFL: for what period is it issued?
For example, if your organization has a TIN 771401133689, then in the field “in the Federal Tax Service (code)” the accountant will put 7714, this will be the code in the Federal Tax Service in certificate 2 of the personal income tax; in the TIN column – 771401133689; in checkpoint column 771401001.

What 2 personal income tax codes for deductions has the legislator provided?
Income
In a certificate of type 2-NDFL, individual entrepreneurs or enterprises can reflect those payments the source of which is themselves. The type of funds paid to the employee is reflected in the format of a special code in the 2-NDFL certificate. This certificate takes into account only those incomes that can be taxed. In this case, it is worth taking into account the amounts that were paid to an individual under a civil law or employment contract (Article 210 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).
Payments for individuals must be reflected in the third section of 2-NDFL. In this section, the heading must indicate the tax rate that will be applied to the income. In a situation where in 2021 an employee received payments that were taxed at different rates, then for each rate this section will have to be filled out separately.
When reflecting information in the tables of the third section, it is worth using appendices numbered 1 and 2 to Order of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation No. MMB-7-11/387. Special codes are assigned to each type of payment. For example, a salary should be reflected by code 2000. Remuneration under other civil contracts is coded 2010. In a situation where there is no special code for the type of payment, the value 4800 must be entered.
The main payout codes remain unchanged . But two codes have appeared that should be indicated for reference to a large number of agents. These are situations where bonus remuneration is associated with production results and is included in the salary (code 2002). If the company pays bonuses and other remunerations against net profit, code 2003 is entered.
In what cases are they indicated?
Information on workers' remuneration must be submitted to the Federal Tax Service by enterprises and individual entrepreneurs in the format of a 2-NDFL certificate. They must be submitted strictly on time.
Such certificates may be required by employees when applying. Most often, they need them to get a loan. This form stipulates that they must show the codes of deductions and income associated with a particular citizen. Order No. MMB-7-11/633 approved the list of updated personal income tax codes. The use of these codes is required from the end of December 2016.
Innovations
The main changes affected standard deduction codes. Now, instead of 12 codes, 24 are used, due to the division of payer categories. These changes were made in accordance with the Order of the Federal Tax Service No. MMB-7-11/387 dated September 10, 2015.
All changes are effective from the end of December 2021. Accordingly, everyone needs to take this into account when preparing Form 2-NDFL certificates.
Bonus codes were also introduced - 2002 and 2003. In codes numbered 2641, 1533, 1532 and 1535, the names of income from activities that are associated with production financial elements became more precise.
Also, if we consider the situation as a whole, we can notice that the changes affected the codes that are provided for funds that reduce the tax base for actions that are related to securities and industrial financial elements.
