In Art. Part 8 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation provides a definition of collection. A fee is a mandatory fee levied on organizations and individuals, the payment of which is one of the conditions for the performance of legally significant actions in relation to fee payers by state organizations, local government bodies, other authorized bodies and officials, including the granting of certain rights or the issuance of permits (licenses). The payer (legal entity and individual) pays a fee, which is only one of the conditions for performing legally significant actions, and from the point of view of an official, a legally significant action is any of his actions, regardless of the result. Thus, this fee is collected by the government body or its representative “by the right of the strong,” without economic justification.

Initially installed general provisions(principles) on the basis of which taxpayers, objects of taxation, tax bases and rates of federal, regional and local license fees are determined.

The specific procedure and terms of payment for federal license fees are determined by the legislation of the Russian Federation and authorized federal bodies. For regional fees, the specific procedure and conditions for payment are determined by law adopted by the legislative (representative) authority of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation. For local license fees, the procedure for payment in the territory of local government is established by a decision of the representative body of local government.

Taxpayers of federal license fees are organizations and individual entrepreneurs who acquire from authorized federal bodies a special permit (license), provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation, to conduct licensed types of activities on the territory of the Russian Federation or to exercise certain rights.

Taxpayers of regional license fees are organizations that acquire from authorized regional bodies a special permit (license), provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation, to carry out licensed types of activities on the territory of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation.

Taxpayers of local license fees are organizations and individual entrepreneurs who acquire a special permit (license) from local government bodies for the right to conduct certain types of activities on the territory of local government.

The list of types of activities for which authorized federal bodies and local self-government bodies have the right to issue licenses is established by federal laws and laws of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation on licensing.

The tax base for establishing the federal, regional and local licensing fee is determined based on the specific type of activity subject to licensing and the amount of the minimum monthly wage established by federal law.

The object of taxation and the tax base is the acquisition by the taxpayer of the right to exercise licensed types of activities or certain rights on the territory of the Russian Federation, a constituent entity of the Russian Federation, on the territory of a city, district.

Making changes to a license upon payment of the regional and local license fee is equivalent to the issuance of a new license.

For the issuance of federal, regional and local licenses to carry out types of activities established by licensing legislation, a license fee is charged in an amount not exceeding 10 times the minimum wage established by federal law.

The specific amount of the license fee for regional fees is established by the authority of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation, and for local license fees - by a decision of the representative body of local self-government. For the issuance of a duplicate license, the taxpayer pays 50% of the amount of the federal and regional license fee payable.

All license fees are paid by the taxpayer independently before obtaining a license to carry out the relevant type of activity. To obtain a license giving the right to carry out several types of activities, taxpayers pay all (federal, regional and local) license fees separately for the right to carry out each type of activity specified in the license, and to the budget that supports the person authorized to issue such license authority The paid license fee is non-refundable.

The standard form of a tax return and the procedure for filling it out are established by the tax service for taxes and fees in agreement with the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation.

Control questions

  • 1. What is meant by collection?
  • 2. Who is the payer of the fees?
  • 3. How is the tax base determined?

Some activities in goods and services markets require passing special procedures registration and accounting in the country where it is carried out. Such activities include:

  • Production, storage of chemicals and medicines.
  • Manufacturing of weapons and ammunition.
  • Encryption operations.
  • and manufacturing technology that tracks data.
  • Transportation of individuals and goods and many others.

Such types of activities are called licensed. In order to engage in them legally, not only the preparation of many documents and their subsequent careful verification are required, but also the payment of a fixed fee.

Types of license fees

  • Payment for acceptance and verification of documentation and applications.
  • A direct fee that is paid for obtaining paper permission to carry out a specific type of activity.
  • Fees for document corrections. If a legal entity or individual with a license changes the address, company name, details, this must be recorded.
  • Fee for obtaining information. Data on those firms and individual entrepreneurs engaged in licensed activities is available to some individuals. For a certain amount of money they can demand the information contained in the register.

Why are license fees needed?

The most important function of this type of payment is maintaining records and monitoring entrepreneurs and entities. Often, licensed activities involve the manufacture of dangerous goods, so authorities need to monitor them.

The second and no less important function is to make up for the costs and losses that the state may incur, because it often requires financial support for certain types of production.

After the collection, the funds received can be used to cover budget deficits at various levels, maintain social programs carried out by government bodies, financing the activities of the management apparatus.

Fees are integral part budget revenues. If the licensee does not pay for the procedures for registering, obtaining and renewing the right to conduct activities, the relevant authorities may not issue permission for its further implementation or even terminate its validity.

The official, legally enshrined definition of a license is “a permit (right) to carry out a licensed type of activity subject to mandatory compliance with licensing requirements and conditions, issued by a licensing authority to a legal entity or individual entrepreneur,” and licensing is “activities related to the issuance of licenses, re-issuance of documents , confirming the availability of licenses, suspension and cancellation of licenses and supervision of licensing authorities over compliance by licensees with the relevant licensing requirements and conditions when carrying out licensed types of activities" (Article 2 of the Federal Law "On Licensing of Certain Types of Activities" dated September 25, 1998).

License is a non-normative legal act of an executive body of state power or local government, giving a legal entity or individual the right to carry out certain activities for a specific period specified in the license.

Licensing - one of the means of state regulation of economic and social activities carried out by legal entities and individuals in areas affecting state, public and private interests. In those areas where a licensing system is in effect, only activities permitted by the relevant licenses are recognized as legal; unlicensed activities are illegal simply by virtue of the mere fact of lack of licenses.

Licensing is a complex legal institution.

At its core, it is formed by norms administrative law(procedure for considering applications for licenses, monitoring compliance with legislation related to the relevant type of activity, etc.). Further, these are civil law norms (in particular, on the right of a person to engage in licensed activities).

The rules of financial law regulate relations regarding the payment of established payments by licensees to the budget, as well as planning the receipt and distribution of license fees as sources of income for the budget system.

The list of licensed types of activities is established by the Federal Law “On Licensing of Certain Types of Activities”.

This law clarified the legal categories related to licensing, the licensing procedure, the legal consequences of compliance and non-compliance with the requirements and conditions for issuing licenses, financial aspects of licensing activities, etc. The following circumstance is very significant. The Law streamlined the practice of introducing and implementing the institution of licensing, bearing in mind that before the adoption of the Law, both federal executive bodies and executive bodies of the constituent entities of the Federation, local governments arbitrarily introduced licensing systems, set license fees based on departmental or local considerations, etc. d.


In the future, the list of licensed types of activities established by the Federal Law of September 25, 1998 may be changed (expanded or narrowed) also by federal laws. To date, the list of licensed activities is constantly expanding. The Federal Law “On Licensing of Certain Types of Activities” names 208 types of licensed activities.

Each specific type of licensed activity is regulated by a special regulation approved by the Government of the Russian Federation.

In accordance with the law, there are four types of payments in licensing practice. Firstly, there is a fee for processing applications for licenses.

To obtain a license, the license applicant, among other documents, submits to the licensing authority a document confirming payment of a fee for consideration by this body of the applicant's application.

The maximum amount of this payment cannot exceed three times the minimum wage established by federal legislation. The specific fees for consideration of an applicant's application are established by the Government of the Russian Federation.

The fee for considering the applicant's application is credited to the budget: federal, subject of the Federation or local - depending on the subordination of the body considering the application. Secondly, there is a license fee.

Licensee, i.e. a legal entity or individual entrepreneur to whom a license has been issued is required to pay a license fee. A document confirming the availability of a license is issued within three days after the license applicant submits a document confirming payment of the license fee. If the licensee has not paid the license fee within three months, the licensing authority has the right to cancel the license.

The amount of the license fee is established by the Government of the Russian Federation in the regulations on licensing specific types of activities, but the maximum amount of the license fee for issuing a license should not exceed ten times the minimum wage established by federal law.

License fees are credited to the relevant budgets - federal, subject of the Federation or local - depending on the subordination of the licensing authority.

Thirdly, this is a fee for re-issuing a document confirming the presence of a license and making changes to it (in the case of transformation of a legal entity, changing its name or location; changing the name or place of residence of an individual entrepreneur).

The amount of this fee is established by the Government of the Russian Federation. It cannot exceed one tenth of the minimum wage established by Federal Law. Payment amounts are credited to the appropriate budgets. Fourthly, this is the fee paid by legal entities and individuals for information contained in license registers. This kind of information is open to the named persons. Interested legal entities and individuals have the right to receive the specified information in the form of extracts about specific licensees. Information is provided to state authorities and local governments free of charge. The fee for providing information cannot exceed the costs of the licensing authority for preparing the relevant extract. The procedure and amount of payment for providing this type of information is established by the Government of the Russian Federation. License payments go to the appropriate budgets, and not to the accounts of licensing authorities. This design is intended to exclude any property benefit of licensing authorities from their activities and prevent possible abuses on their part. In accordance with Article 16 of the Federal Law “On Licensing of Certain Types of Activities,” funding for licensing is carried out within the limits of funds allocated for the maintenance of licensing bodies from the relevant budgets.

According to the previous “Law on the Fundamentals of the Tax System of the Russian Federation,” generally obligatory regional taxes included: corporate property tax, forest income and payment for water taken by industrial enterprises from water management systems. There was also a regional levy for the needs of educational institutions, levied on legal entities (it was not universally obligatory).

According to the Tax Code, the revenue base of regional budgets is legislatively expanded. They remit a significant portion of the corporate income tax (at a rate of 22%, only 13% goes to the federal budget) and personal income tax (at a rate of 10%, to the federal budget - 2%).

^ CHAPTER 4. LOCAL TAXES

The set of local taxes has always been the most flexible. Local governments had the right to introduce their own taxes and fees when the need for additional financial resources arose. However, many of them required significant costs to ensure collection and control over payment, often exceeding the amount of incoming payments, therefore, in the new Tax Code, the list of local taxes is significantly reduced, and the establishment of additional taxes not provided for by the code is not allowed.

In 1996-1997 The list of local taxes included: property tax for individuals; land tax; registration fee for individuals engaged in entrepreneurial activities; tax on the construction of industrial facilities in the resort area; resort fee; fee for the right to trade; targeted fees from citizens and enterprises, institutions, organizations, regardless of their organizational and legal forms, for the maintenance of the police, for the improvement of territories, for educational needs and other purposes; advertising tax; tax on the resale of cars, computer equipment, personal computers; collection from dog owners; license fee for the right to trade wine and vodka products; license fee for the right to conduct local auctions and lotteries; fees for issuing a warrant for an apartment, for parking vehicles, for the right to use local symbols, for participation in races at hippodromes, for winnings at races, from persons participating in betting games at the hippodrome; collection from transactions made on exchanges; fee for the right to film filming, for cleaning areas settlements, for opening a gambling business; tax on the maintenance of housing stock and social and cultural facilities.

All of them can be divided depending on the object of taxation and the definition of the tax base into taxes and fees levied at a certain percentage of the minimum monthly wage established by law; taxes and fees determined as a percentage of the wage fund for legal entities; taxes and fees established as a percentage of the cost of products sold (goods, works, services) or the amount of transactions.

Below is a description of local taxes included in the new Tax Code.

^ Payment for land

The use of land in the Russian Federation is paid. Forms of payment for land are land tax (for land owners, landowners and land users), rent (for tenants), standard price of land (for the purchase and redemption of land plots and for obtaining a loan secured by land).

^ Payers of land tax and rent are enterprises, associations, organizations and institutions, as well as citizens of the Russian Federation, foreign citizens and stateless persons who have been granted land for ownership, possession, use or lease on the territory of Russia.

^ Objects of taxation are land plots owned, possessed or used by enterprises (organizations) and individuals.

The following are not recognized as objects of taxation: 1) strips of land passing directly along the state border of the Russian Federation; 2) lands allocated for nature reserves, national or dendrological parks, botanical gardens; 3) lands occupied by federal public roads, railways, airfields, as well as waterways and hydraulic structures occupied by state enterprises; 4) lands of public use in settlements, lands of cemeteries; 5) lands provided to support the activities of government and administrative bodies, as well as to ensure the defense and security of the Russian Federation; 6) lands owned, possessed or used by religious associations and used by them to conduct their statutory activities.

Land tax benefits are established by local authorities in each region. For example, in currently Citizens organizing farms for the first time are exempt from paying land tax for five years from the date of provision of land plots to them. But if the land is not used for its intended purpose (i.e., not for agricultural production), then this benefit does not apply. There are benefits for pensioners and disabled people.

The basis for establishing and collecting tax and rent for land is a document certifying the right of ownership, possession or use (lease) of a land plot.

The amount of tax does not depend on the results of economic activities of land owners and is paid in the form of stable payments per unit of land area per year.

^ Tax rates for certain categories of land and groups of taxpayers are established by authorized local government bodies in the amount of 0.1 to 2.0% of the cadastral value (in rubles per 1 hectare of arable land or per 1 m 2 for urban lands).

Land tax for legal entities and citizens is calculated starting from the month following the month in which land plots were provided to them. Payers are registered and taxes are calculated annually as of June 1st.

The amount, conditions and terms of payment of rent for land are established by the contract. When leasing agricultural land, its amount should not exceed the amount of land tax on the leased plots. Land rent can be collected separately or as part of the total rent for all leased property (buildings, structures, etc.), but with the obligatory transfer of land rent to local budgets. If parts of residential and non-residential buildings are leased to legal entities or citizens, the tax for land plots serving these buildings is fully levied on the lessor and not on the tenant.

^ Accounting settlements of legal entities with the budget for land tax and land rent is underway on account 68 “Calculations with the budget” on a separate sub-account “Calculations for land tax”.

^ Standard price of land - an indicator characterizing the cost of a site of a certain quality and location based on potential income over the estimated payback period. It was introduced to ensure economic regulation of land relations when transferring land into ownership, establishing collective shared ownership of land, transferring by inheritance, donating and receiving a bank loan secured by a land plot. The standard price of land for specific land plots is determined in the amount of 50 times the land tax rate in rubles per unit area of ​​land for the corresponding purpose.

When determining the standard price of land, the land tax rates are taken as a basis, taking into account the corresponding increasing coefficients used in establishing the tax. Benefits provided for land tax are not taken into account when calculating the standard price of land.

^ Advertising tax payers are Russian and foreign enterprises, individuals engaged in entrepreneurial activities.

^ Object of taxation is the cost of work and services for the production and distribution of advertising of one’s own products (works, services) without VAT.

License fee— fee for a license issued by authorized state bodies to conduct certain types of business activities.

The license fee appeared in Europe at the beginning of the 19th century. Historically, it is the development of special fisheries that arose in the era of corporate regulation of fisheries from pre-existing concession payments to the treasury and licenses of a duty nature. In some states, these licenses, with few exceptions, disappeared; in others, with the introduction of freedom of fishing, their number increased. Special fishing fees in the form of licenses have become of great importance in France and especially in Great Britain.

In France, the licenses included fees: from enterprises producing excisable drinks, from manufacturers and traders of vegetable oil, from manufacturers of playing cards, from foreign sugar refineries, from transport enterprises, etc.

In Great Britain, the license fee was collected from notaries, lawyers and other judicial officers, valuers, auctioneers, peddlers, etc. The activities of brewers, distillers, manufacturers of sweet wines, wine merchants, wholesalers, small traders, owners of hotels, beer bars, and taverns who owned one type of trade were taxed. The state treasury received license fees only from the brewing and distillery industries, and the rest went to the cash desks of local governments. Similar licensing rules existed in the United States.

In Germany, licenses and fees of a concession nature were also practiced, partly hidden under the name, partly included in the category of stamp fees.

A license fee is a fee levied by a country on an exporter or importer to grant the right to legally import or export a product. Before paying the license fee, a bilateral agreement is concluded on the legality of the imported and exported goods. Also, a license fee is levied on companies or individual entrepreneurs applying for a certain type of activity on the territory of the state.

Each type of activity that involves obtaining a license carries with it a mandatory license fee from the state in whose territory the type of activity will be carried out. All financial limits of the license fee are regulated by financial law. The list of all types of activities that require the licensing procedure and payment of a license fee is indicated in the state law “On licensing of certain types of activities.” Thus, the entire licensing procedure takes place according to the standards clearly specified in the country’s legislation and is carried out by special executive bodies.

The procedure for issuing a license includes a list of the following actions:

  • filing an application to carry out a type of activity (making changes) that requires licensing;
  • acceptance of the application by regulatory and executive authorities;
  • payment of the license fee;
  • issuance of necessary documents (licenses) for a certain type of activity.
