Vacation pay for September was issued in August. Why can’t vacation pay be issued three days before vacation? Violation of deadlines for payment of vacation pay

When preparing Form 6-NDFL, accountants are faced with difficulties in how to reflect certain amounts of personal income tax calculated and withheld by the tax agent. In this article we will look at how to correctly reflect vacation payments in four different situations.

Based on the professional standard, each specialist can outline specific ones for himself. To do this, it is enough to undergo training at the Accounting School. All our courses are developed taking into account the professional standard “Accountant”.

The procedure for filling out the calculation in form 6-NDFL was approved by Order of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation dated October 14, 2015 No. ММВ-7-11/450@.

In the 6-NDFL calculation, vacation pay is reflected in the period in which it was actually paid.

Example (vacation pay accrued and paid in one quarter)

Vacation pay paid:

January 20, 2017 - 25,000 rubles, personal income tax - 3,250 rubles transferred on the day of payment of vacation pay
March 20, 2017 - 30,000 rubles, personal income tax - 3,900 rubles transferred on the day of payment of vacation pay

line 020 - 55,000 (25,000 + 30,000)
line 040 - 7 150 (3 250 + 3 900)
line 070 - 7 150

line 100 - 01/20/2017
line 110 - 01/20/2017
line 120 - 01/31/2017
line 130 - 25,000
line 140 - 3 250
line 100 - 03/20/2017
line 110 - 03/20/2017
line 120 - 03/31/2017
line 130 - 30,000
line 140 - 3 900

Example (vacation pay accrued in one quarter, paid in the next quarter)

Vacation pay of 30,000 rubles was accrued on March 31, 2017, paid on April 4, 2017, personal income tax - 3,900 rubles was transferred on the day the vacation pay was paid. The specified vacation pay is not reflected in the calculation of 6-NDFL for the 1st quarter of 2017. They are reflected in the calculation of 6-NDFL for the first half of 2017

line 020 - 30 000
line 040 - 3 900
line 070 - 3 900

line 100 - 04/04/2017
line 110 - 04/04/2017
line 120 - 04/30/2017
line 130 - 30,000
line 140 - 3 900

Example (vacation pay was paid in December of one tax period, the deadline for transferring personal income tax is in the next tax period)

On March 24, 2017, on the day of dismissal, compensation for unused vacation was paid in the amount of 30,000 rubles, including personal income tax of 3,900 rubles.

line 020 - 30 000
line 040 - 3 900
line 070 - 3 900

line 100 - 03/24/2017
line 110 - 03/24/2017
line 120 - 03/31/2017
line 130 - 30,000
line 140 - 3 900

Webinars for accountants at Kontur.School: changes in legislation, features of accounting and tax accounting, reporting, salaries and personnel, cash transactions.

For many years now, filling out form 6-NDFL has been raising questions from the accountant, one more intricate than the other. Situations with vacation pay also did not escape this fate. And the main problem is that they have their own rules for withholding personal income tax, which differ from wages and other payments. In addition to the vacation pay itself, many questions arise about compensation for unused vacation upon dismissal.

Colleagues, I would like to reassure you right away! In the situation with vacation pay, and even with compensation, when filling out 6-NDFL, everything is quite logical and obeys simple rules. In this article we will look at this with practical examples. What are we going to talk about?

1. Where do the difficulties with 6-NDFL come from?

2. Date of receipt of vacation pay in 6-NDFL

3. Date of deduction of personal income tax from vacation pay in 6-NDFL

4. Deadline for transferring personal income tax from vacation pay to 6-NDFL

5. Vacation pay in section 1 of the 6-NDFL report

6. How to show vacation pay in 6-NDFL

9. We reflect vacation pay along with salary in 6-NDFL

So, let's go in order.

1.Where do the difficulties with 6-personal income tax come from?

Before you figure out how to show vacation pay in 6-NDFL, you should understand that the solution to any situation that arises follows from the logic of constructing the reporting form itself. The report on Form 6-NDFL is submitted quarterly and completed on the reporting date - March 31, June 30, September 30, December 31. It includes two sections, the principles of including income and tax in which are not the same:

Section 1 is filled in with a cumulative total throughout the year, i.e. income and tax are reflected in it in total. It includes income that is considered received by the employee.

Section 2 includes only those transactions that were performed over the last 3 months. Moreover, the main criterion for inclusion in this section is that the personal income tax payment deadline falls within this reporting period (not the actual deadline, but the deadline according to the law).

The main difficulties in filling out are related to the fact that the dates of receipt of income, its deduction and transfer of personal income tax differ and may fall into different reporting periods. This is also true for vacation pay. Therefore, first of all, let’s look at how the date of receipt of income for vacation pay is determined, the date of tax withholding, and what are the deadlines for transferring personal income tax for this type of income. By the way, if your organization pays dividends, then fill out 6-NDFL for this type of payment.

2. Date of receipt of vacation pay in 6-NDFL

Holiday pay, as defined by the Supreme Court, is part of wages. However, the date of actual receipt of income in the form of vacation pay is determined not by wages, but by paragraph 1 of clause 1 of Article 223 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation (Resolution of the Presidium of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation dated 02/07/2012 No. 11709/11, letter of the Ministry of Finance dated 01/26/2015 No. 03-04-06/2187, etc.).

Those. for the purposes of calculating personal income tax the date of receipt of vacation pay in 6-NDFL is the day of payment to the employee— transfers to a bank account, withdrawals from the cash register (letter of the Federal Tax Service dated July 21, 2017 No. BS-4-11/14329@).

According to Article 136 of the Labor Code, the employer is obliged to pay vacation pay no later than 3 calendar days before the start of the vacation (there is also a letter from Rostrud dated July 30, 2014 No. 1693-6-1 on this topic).

The start date of the vacation does not matter, even if it falls on the next calendar month. It doesn’t matter if the vacation is transferable and affects different months, quarters, calendar years (letter of the Federal Tax Service of Russia dated May 24, 2016 No. BS-4-11/9248). To determine the date of receipt of income, only the date of payment of vacation pay is important. For this date, line 100 of form 6-NDFL is filled out.

The date of payment of vacation pay determines whether the amount of vacation pay and personal income tax on it falls into section 1.

3. Date of deduction of personal income tax from vacation pay in 6-NDFL

The next important step to show vacation pay in 6-NDFL is to determine the tax withholding date, which is reflected in line 110. Everything is very simple here: Personal income tax is withheld at the time of payment of income(Clause 4 of Article 226 of the Tax Code). Therefore, for vacation pay, the date of receipt of income and the date of withholding personal income tax from vacation pay in 6-NDFL will coincide, i.e. this is one day.

4. Deadline for transferring personal income tax from vacation pay to 6-NDFL

In general, for most types of income, the deadline for transferring personal income tax to the budget is no later than the first working day following the day the income is paid. But the picture is different for vacation pay! Because the deadline for transferring personal income tax from vacation pay is regulated by a separate norm - clause 6 of Article 226 of the Tax Code. Tax must be remitted no later than the last day of the month in which the payment took place.

On the one hand, this rule is designed to simplify accounting and reduce the number of payments, especially with a large number of employees. Because during the month the tax agent can “accumulate” the amount of tax on vacation pay, and at the end of the month transfer it in a single payment.

But for an accountant, due to his heavy workload, sometimes it is actually easier to transfer personal income tax as soon as the employee’s vacation pay is paid, so as not to forget about it in the future and not delay the transfer. The Tax Code does not prohibit this, so do what is most convenient for you.

The deadline for transferring personal income tax from vacation pay to 6-personal income tax is reflected in line 120. to help you pay the tax.

5. Vacation pay in section 1 of the 6-NDFL report

So, we have sorted out the dates reflected in Section 2, a little later we will analyze problematic situations and look at an example of how vacation pay is reflected in 6-NDFL. In the meantime, just a few words about Section 1, everything is simple here.

This section includes income accrued to employees. For salaries, this is the last day of the month, and for vacation pay, as we have already found out, it is the payment day.

Those. if the payment of vacation pay took place in this period (or in previous ones, since the section is filled in with an accrual total), then their amount falls into Section 1. And personal income tax from vacation pay will fall into lines 040 and 070 of form 6-NDFL (calculated and withheld tax ).

6. How to show vacation pay in 6-NDFL

Let's look at a practical example. First, we will discuss the specific situation and all the dates for it, then we will see how it looks in the reporting form.

Employees of Bashmachok LLC are going on another vacation (dates taken for 2018):

— warehouse manager Bosonozhkina B.B. from March 5 to 10 days, vacation pay in the amount of 9800 rubles, payment on February 28;
- Secretary of Tufelkina T.T. from March 19 to 28 kd., vacation pay in the amount of 21,500 rubles, payment on March 15;
— seller Sapozhkova S.S. from April 2 to the 14th day, vacation pay in the amount of 12,300 rubles, payment on March 29.

Personal income tax for each employee was transferred simultaneously with the payment of vacation pay, on the same day.

The dates for receiving vacation pay and the dates for withholding income will be as follows:

— Bosonozhkina: February 28
— Tufelkina: March 15
— Sapozhkova: March 29.

These are the dates for vacation pay. According to these dates, we fill out Section 1 and lines 100 and 110 of Section 2.

The personal income tax transfer dates will be as follows (data for lines 120):

— Bosonozhkina: February 28 (this is the last day of the payment month - February)
— Tufelkina: April 2 (since the last day of the month – March 31 – falls on Saturday)
— Sapozhkova: also on April 2 (for the same reason).

Each of these payments will be shown separately in Section 2, because There are no payments with a completely matching set of dates (terms 100, 110, 120) in the example. In reality, if you pay vacation pay to several employees on the same day, then they can be combined for Section 2. By the way, the date of actual transfer of personal income tax for them will not matter whether you transferred it on the same day or not.

Now let's see how the data in our example will look in 6-NDFL. For all female employees, vacation pay in Section 1 of the 6-NDFL report will be reflected in the 1st quarter. To simplify, let’s assume that there were no other payments in the organization.

With Section 2 the situation will be more complicated. In what period will the paid vacation pay be included in the report for the 1st quarter or for the half year? Let me remind you that this is determined by line 120 – the date of tax transfer (according to the Tax Code, not the actual one).

We have the following sets of dates:

Thus, each payment will be entered into Section 2 as a separate block. And only Bosonozhkina’s vacation pay will be included in the 6-NDFL report for the 1st quarter.

Vacation pay for Tufelkina and Sapozhkova will be included in Section 2 only in the half-year report.

If March 31 was not a day off, then these vacation pay would also be included in the report for the 1st quarter.

You can see that when it comes to vacation pay, everything turns out quite logically! The example already shows how “carrying over” vacation pay is included in the report, as well as payments for vacations that begin in the next reporting period.

However, many questions arise about how to show January vacation pay in December in 6-NDFL. The problem, in my opinion, is purely psychological – the long New Year holidays. Otherwise, there are no differences from other “transitional” situations between quarters. Therefore, we will also analyze a small example on the topic.

Once again we repeat the important points on which we rely:

Vacation pay in Section 1 and lines 100-110 are reflected by the date of their payment.
The deadline for transferring personal income tax is the last day of the month. If this day falls on a weekend or holiday, then the transfer date for line 120 will be the next business day.
Line 120 determines the reporting period for which vacation pay and the tax on it in Section 2 will be included.

That's all the “tricks”!

At LLC “Bashmachok” the director is Kozhemyakin K.K. goes on vacation from January 8, 2018. On December 28, 2017, he was paid vacation pay, and personal income tax was transferred on the same day.

The date of receipt of income and withholding of personal income tax is December 28.
The personal income tax transfer date is January 9, because December 31st falls on a day off, and the first working day after the New Year holidays is January 9th.

Thus, Kozhemyakin’s vacation pay will fall into Section 1 of the report for 2017:

and in Section 2 of the report for the 1st quarter of 2018.

9. We reflect vacation pay along with salary in 6-NDFL

All situations regarding the payment of vacation pay come down to two cases:

Vacation pay is paid regardless of salary, as it accrues. In this case, wages and vacation pay are reflected in Section 2 in separate blocks for the following reasons:

the date of receipt of income will most likely differ (exception is if vacation pay is paid on the last day of the month);
special procedure for the deadline for transferring personal income tax from vacation pay (the last day of the month of payment).

Vacation pay is paid along with salary. This may simply be a coincidence of dates, or, for example, an employee takes a vacation and is subsequently fired.

Let’s say vacation pay and wages were paid on the last calendar day of the month and the date of receipt of income in the form of vacation pay and wages, the tax withholding date coincided. But the date of transfer of personal income tax on wages is the next working day, and for vacation pay it is still the same last calendar day of the month. This is the example with Bosonozhkina, discussed above.

Thus, in 6-NDFL, vacation pay along with wages will be reflected in Section 2 in separate blocks.

Let's look at a small example of filling out 6-NDFL in case of vacation followed by dismissal. Let's assume that Tufelkin's secretary T.T. from our example with Bashmachok LLC, goes on vacation for 28 days from March 19 with subsequent dismissal.

Let the settlements with the employee be made on March 16 (Friday, this is her last day of work), she was paid vacation pay in the amount of 21,500 rubles. and wages for March in the amount of 10,400 rubles. Personal income tax from the current account is transferred on the same day.

Despite the fact that the employer transferred to the employee all payments due to her in one amount on one day, we are talking about two independent payments - wages for working days in March and vacation pay.

In the event of termination of the employment relationship before the end of the calendar month, the date of actual receipt of income in the form of wages is considered to be the last day of work for which the income was accrued (clause 2 of Article 223 of the Tax Code). In the example, this is March 16 (since March 17 and 18 are days off for which salaries were not accrued). The deadline for transferring personal income tax is March 19, the next working day.

Vacation pay must be shown in 6-NDFL on the date of receipt of income on March 16, and the deadline for transferring personal income tax is April 2. There will be no differences here from regular vacation pay.

Section 2 of the 6-NDFL calculation for nine months is filled out as follows.

Vacation followed by dismissal is a rare case. Much more often, an employee quits and receives compensation for unused vacation. But the rules here will be the same:

If an employee resigns, then The date of receipt of income in the form of wages is considered to be the last day of work(Clause 2 of Article 223 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).
The date of receipt of income in the form of vacation compensation is the day of its payment.

Article 140 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation establishes that upon termination of an employment contract, payment of all amounts due to the employee from the employer is made on the day of the employee’s dismissal. In other words, in case of dismissal, compensation for unused vacation and wages for the last month worked are paid on one day, which is the last day of work.

Let's take the same example with the secretary of Bashmachok LLC T.T. Tufelkina, assuming that she quits on March 16, receives a salary for March of 10,400 rubles. and compensation for unused vacation 21,500 rubles.

The date of receipt of income and the date of withholding personal income tax for both payments is the same - this is March 16. The deadline for transferring personal income tax from wages is also clear - March 19. But what is the personal income tax transfer date for compensation?

The provisions of Chapter 23 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation do not contain explanations of what income is classified as income in the form of vacation pay.

From Art. 236 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation it follows that “vacation payment” and “severance payments” (which also includes compensation for unused vacation) are different in their legal nature. Compensation for unused vacation cannot be considered as part of vacation pay. Therefore, compensation will not have a “special” deadline for transferring personal income tax, as in the case of vacation pay. The general rule applies - We transfer no later than the next business day.

Therefore, personal income tax on compensation for unused vacation upon dismissal in 6-personal income tax can be reflected together with personal income tax on wages. In our example, this is March 19th.

Tufelkina’s salary and the compensation paid to her for unused vacation in lines 100-140 of form 6-NDFL will be reflected in the aggregate; there is no need to fill out these lines separately for income in the form of compensation for unused vacation.

Thus, we figured out how to show vacation pay in 6-NDFL. The only issue that was not touched upon was the situation with recalculation. The need for recalculation may be required not only in the case of arithmetic errors made by the accountant.

There is often a need early recall of an employee from vacation. And he will use the rest of his vacation separately in the future. Those. the employee initially received vacation pay for more days than he used.

Before we look at the recalculation of vacation pay in 6-NDFL using a practical example, remember the basic rules:

The amount of income actually received in 6-NDFL is indicated already counted.
The amount of tax withheld in 6-NDFL is indicated actual, i.e. the one that was initially retained.

On May 14, the manager of Bashmachok LLC Shnurkov A.A. vacation pay was paid in the amount of 19,600 rubles for 28 days of vacation (from May 18 to June 15). On the same day, personal income tax in the amount of 2,548 rubles was transferred to the budget.

But on June 5, the employee was recalled from vacation. As a result of recalculation, vacation pay for 18 days (from May 18 to June 4) amounted to 12,600 rubles. (Personal income tax - 1638 rubles).

For June, the employee was entitled to a salary of 20,000 rubles. (Personal income tax - 2600 rubles).

On July 5, the employee received his salary for June, reduced by the amount of vacation pay for those days when he was recalled from vacation, that is, by 7,000 rubles. (for 10 calendar days from June 5 to June 15). As a result, the salary amounted to 13,000 rubles. And personal income tax must be paid in the amount of 2600 – (2548 – 1638) = 1690 rubles.

This is how the situation will be reflected in Section 2 of the 6-NDFL report.

Since the salary payment for June took place in July, the report for the half-year will include vacation pay, and the report for 9 months will include salary.

Thank you very much for such a clear explanation of this tricky report! There were always some problems with these vacation and sick pay. I never assembled 1C correctly. Everything has to be adjusted manually. There were disputes with the chief accountant regarding the reflection of vacation and sick pay in the calculations. But now all the problems have been eliminated.

Thank you very much. Everything is presented in very detail and clearly. I figured out this report myself through trial and adjustment. But many people have great difficulty filling it out.

Julia and Dina, thank you SO MUCH! Everything is very accessible and competent. You are great!

Thank you for such a detailed and clear article! Everything is clear when payments go through as expected. But I’ve got this mess, maybe you can help me deal with it in the best possible way? A swarm of thoughts in my head, I would also like to hear your opinion :))
We paid salaries for December on December 28, 2017. and on the same day the personal income tax was transferred. On December 29, resignations were received, they had to be satisfied and additional compensation for unused vacation was added and included in the payroll for December. It was not possible to pay compensation on the day of dismissal (December 29) and transfer personal income tax from it. These payments were made only on January 9, 2018. Which sections and columns of the 6-NDFL report for 2017 include compensation for unused vacation?

Hello Antonina! The date of receipt of income for compensation for unused vacation is the date of its payment, i.e. in your case 01/09/2018. Consequently, this compensation will not fall into sections 1 and 2 of the report for 2017, but will be reflected in both of these sections for the 1st quarter of 2018. But there are consultants who have a different opinion on this matter in this situation, so you will have to make the decision yourself.

Julia, thank you for your answer!

In January 2018, the employee went on vacation on January 9, 2018, personal income tax from vacation pay was transferred on January 10, 2018, and personal income tax for December was transferred on January 15, 2018. How to indicate personal income tax in the report. Thank you.

If you mean filling out section 2, then it is impossible to answer your question, because. you did not indicate the dates of payment of vacation pay and salaries. The actual dates of personal income tax transfer do not matter.

The employee was given vacation pay on March 21, 2018 in the amount of 30,900, but the employee has a property deduction for the apartment. It turns out that the amount of income is not taxed. Should this be reflected in the report and how?

The amount of the property deduction provided to the employee, as well as other deductions, is reflected on line 030 of form 6-NDFL. If you have already submitted a calculation without a deduction, then you need to submit an amendment.

Good morning! Great article, thank you very much!
Please tell me if a person was fired on March 30th. Payment and transfer of personal income tax were also made on March 30. In section 1 I include this amount in the first quarter (fill out line 20, 40, 70).
And in the second section, in what period should I include these amounts. After all, the deadline for transferring personal income tax falls on April 2! It turns out that there will be 2 quarters in section 2?

Hello Anna! Yes, you wrote everything correctly. In section 1 - already for the 1st quarter, in section 2 - in the half-year report.

The article is wonderful. Just about the artsy-twisted. Many thanks to the author.

Good afternoon, Yulia! Thank you so much for this article, the clearest explanation I have ever read.

Hello! The employee went on vacation on May 27, 2018. But I received my vacation pay on payday, i.e. 04.06. And personal income tax was also withheld and paid to the budget on June 04. It is clear that it is a violation. But what is the best way to fill out 6-NDFL. p100 06/04/18, p110 06/04/18, p120 05/31/18? And below is the salary block p.100 05/31/18, p.110 06/04/18 and p.120 06/05/18. Or should we spread everything out in one amount (i.e. not allocate vacation pay?). Most likely they won’t come to check, but the report immediately shows the violation and threatens with a 20% fine?

Good afternoon
Please help me figure it out. If vacation or sick leave was paid in June 2018, and the transfer deadline falls on 07/02/18. Then in section 2 these amounts will fall into 6NDFL for the 3rd quarter. Question. And in line 070 of section 1, should we reflect the withheld personal income tax when paying income for the 2nd or 3rd quarter?
Thanks in advance.

Good afternoon.
How to fill out section 1 if the vacation is from 14/06/18 to 27/06/18? But it was paid to the employee only on 07/05/2018. Personal income tax is also listed on 07/05/2018.
The program includes these vacation pay on line 020, personal income tax on these vacation pay is included on line 040 (calculated). But they do not appear on page 070, but are included in page 080 as not retained. It's like that?

Good evening, please tell me, at the end of May vacation and personal income tax were accrued and paid, in June, when calculating salaries, it turned out that May was not included in the employee’s calculation, they recalculated vacation pay, paid additional vacation and personal income tax with salary together, tell me how to reflect vacation pay and personal income tax in counting?

Hello, please tell me, if vacation pay was paid on June 15, part of personal income tax from vacation pay was withheld on June 15, the second on July 2, then in which report will 6-personal income tax holiday pay be included for six months or 9 months? And what will be the date of personal income tax withholding on line 110? Thank you

Hello! The situation is not entirely clear. Did you not fully withhold personal income tax when paying? Or did they keep everything that was due, but transferred it in two parts? If the second, then in section 2 there will be a record for 9 months, the withholding date is June 30, the transfer date is July 2.

Hello! Thanks for the interesting question. To make it easier to answer, let’s conditionally enter the dates. Let’s assume that the payment of vacation pay took place on May 28, the vacation began on June 1, and the salary with the rest of the vacation pay was paid on June 7.

With Section 1, everything will be simple; it will reflect accrued vacation pay along with additional payment, salary (line 020). Personal income tax will be included in both calculated and withheld tax (lines 040 and 070).

For vacation pay, the date of receipt of income is the date of payment of vacation pay. For salaries - the last day of the month. Personal income tax is withheld on the date of payment. Personal income tax on vacation pay must be transferred no later than the last day of the month in which it was paid.

Then in Section 2 of form 6-NDFL for the six months there will be 2 blocks:

Vacation pay paid before recalculation:
05.28.18 - amount of vacation pay
05.28.18 - personal income tax amount
31.05.18

Salary paid (together with other employees):
05/31/18 - salary amount
06/07/18 — Personal income tax from salary
08.06.18

And the additional payment for vacation pay will have to be reflected in Section 2 for 9 months:

06/07/18 - amount of additional payment for vacation pay
06/07/18 — Personal income tax from additional payment for vacation pay
07/02/18 (since June 30 is a day off)

Hello, Elena! If vacation pay was paid in July, then it should go to line 020 in July, because the date of income for vacation pay is the date of payment. Accordingly, personal income tax for the six months will not fall within the 040, 070, or 080 deadlines.
If you have 1C: Accounting, then it has a chronic problem with line 080. 06/04/18
07/02/18 (since June 30 is a day off)
When you had to pay them according to the law does not matter here. Only the date of actual payment matters. And the report doesn’t show that you violated anything.

Good afternoon
Tell me how to reflect the amounts of vacation pay in 6-NDFL in the case when various deductions are made from the amounts of vacation pay (alimony, cost of work clothes, etc.). Those. the employee receives part of the vacation pay. The second part in the form of alimony (etc.) is transferred for its intended purpose, usually on the day of payment of wages, i.e. These are completely different dates. And what about personal income tax in this case??? Show in full at the time of transferring vacation pay to an employee? or in proportion to the amounts of vacation pay paid and the amounts withheld from vacation pay?

Hello! Alimony is withheld after personal income tax is withheld. Therefore, personal income tax is withheld at the time of payment of vacation pay. Those. On the date of payment of vacation pay, show the entire amount of personal income tax as withheld.

Good evening everyone. I’ve already read so much about filling out the 6-NDFL, but I still haven’t found the answer to my question. I would be grateful if you could clarify. Let’s say an employee went on vacation on October 4, 2018. Firstly, when should I pay him vacation pay and withhold tax from it? Secondly, I transferred personal income tax on October 8, it was so convenient for me. What dates should I put in the second section of the 6-personal income tax? 100-01.10.18, 110-01.10.18, 120-31.10.18? The question essentially is, if personal income tax is transferred not on the last day of the month, but earlier, then. October 8th, then should I put October 8th in line 120 or is it still the last day of the month? Or did I break the law, I have to pay on the last day of the month?

Hello! 1) Vacation pay had to be paid no later than September 28. Because if paid on October 1, only 2 days remain before vacation payment, not 3. On the same day, September 28, withhold the tax and transfer no later than October 1 (postponement from September 30). 2) You did not write when the vacation pay was actually paid, but apparently it was October 1. Then 100-01.10.18, 110-01.10.18, 120-31.10.18 are correct. In line 120 the day according to the law is written, i.e. the last day of the month or the nearest working day if the end of the period falls on a weekend. You can pay personal income tax on any day from the date of transfer of vacation pay until the end of the month.

Vacation from the 1st day of the month in 1C: Salaries and personnel management 8th edition 3.1

The situation when an employee goes on vacation from the 1st day of the month quite often raises questions from our clients and readers: vacation pay must be paid 3 days before the start of the vacation, the previous month has not yet been fully worked out, and wages have not been accrued, but this month must be included in the calculation of the average. Previously, I advised my clients to simply recalculate the vacation accrual document after the final calculation of salaries for the previous month, but with the advent of 6-NDFL, the situation has changed a little.

Let's consider an example in the 1C program: Salaries and personnel management 8th edition 3.1. To calculate vacation pay, go to the “Salary” tab and select the “Vacation” item.

Add a new document and carefully fill out all fields. The vacation begins on October 1, the payment date is September 28, and we select September as the accrual month.

If we look at the calculation of average earnings, we will see that wages for September were not included in it.

We pay vacation pay to the employee in the amount calculated according to this document, then we calculate and pay the salary for September.

After data on wages for September appears, vacation pay needs to be recalculated. Until 2016, you could simply go into a previously created document, recalculate it and pay the employee the difference in amounts if average earnings increased. But with the advent of 6-personal income tax, the situation has changed: now we calculate and pay personal income tax in the context of the dates of receipt of income, the vacation tax was calculated on the date September 28, then was withheld and transferred to the budget, so now it is not advisable to recalculate this personal income tax. If the amount of vacation pay increases, and this change is reflected in the same date of receipt of income, then it turns out that we have underpaid the tax to the budget, so we need to act differently. Open the vacation accrual document again and pay attention to the lower left corner of the form.

If wages for the previous month have been calculated and paid, a “Correct” link appears in the document and a warning message stating that it is not recommended to make changes to the existing document. But the “Fix” command is just right for our purpose. When you click on the link, a new document is created in which the amount of vacation pay is recalculated, while the previous amount is reversed and a new one is added, taking into account the last payroll calculation.

In our case, the average earnings have increased, we promptly pay the difference in vacation pay to the employee, and the date of receipt of income, which will be reflected in 6-NDFL, will be a different date - October 5.

But September 30, 2017 is a day off this year, so it happened and questions arose. If our 30th falls on a Saturday, then the deadline for personal income tax payment moves to October 2, 2017. As we can see, one of our three dates falls within a different reporting period. Our vacation pay operation ends in the fourth quarter of 2017. This means that the amount of vacation pay will be reflected in section No. 2 of the annual report 6-NDFL. But, do not forget that the amount of accrued vacation pay will be included in the amount of total salary accruals in section No. 1. We can see that the amount of salary in section No. 1 and in section No. 2 will be different. This is not a mistake, this is true.

Filling out 6-personal income tax: vacation payments

How to show carryover vacation pay and their recalculation? How to reflect vacation pay that transfers to another month or quarter in form 6-NDFL? This is done according to the general rules:

accrual of income in the form of vacation pay and related tax, regardless of which period they relate to, in accordance with the actual date of these accruals and the payment deadline established for them will fall into the general figures of section 1 of form 6-NDFL;
payment of vacation pay will be shown in section 2 of form 6-NDFL, highlighted by the date of its implementation and the deadline for paying the tax.

That is, the need to include vacation pay relating to different reporting periods in 6-NDFL will determine the fact of their accrual and actual payment, and not the period with which they are associated (letter of the Federal Tax Service of Russia dated May 24, 2016 No. BS-4-11/9248) .

How to reflect vacation pay in 6-personal income tax

The need to recalculate vacation pay after submitting reports with data on it may arise in 2 situations:

An error was made when calculating vacation, and incorrect data was included in the report.
In this case, you must submit an updated 6-NDFL report with the correct information in it.
The recalculation has statutory reasons and is legally carried out later than the initial calculation of vacation pay (for example, when recalled from vacation, upon dismissal, when vacation is postponed due to untimely payment of vacation pay).
In such a situation, data on it can be included in the corresponding lines of the report for the period in which the recalculation was made (letter of the Federal Tax Service of Russia dated May 24, 2016 No. BS-4-11/9248).

For information about the deadlines set for submitting the report, read the material “Deadlines for submitting the 6-NDFL report.”

Payment of vacation pay made in March will not be included in section 2 of the report for the 1st quarter, since the deadline for payment of personal income tax on them (03/31/2018) falls on a weekend and, as a result, is shifted to 04/02/2018, but will be taken into account in section 1 as actually made .

1 clause 1 art. 223 Tax Code of the Russian Federation);
deadline for paying personal income tax - it is the last date of the month in which payments are made (clause 6 of article 226 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

personal income tax from it. Thus, in section 2 6-personal income tax, vacation pay, as a rule, will be reflected separately from other payments made due to a discrepancy in the deadline for payment of personal income tax from them (letter of the Federal Tax Service of Russia dated May 11, 2016 No. BS-4-11/8312 ).

How to correctly reflect vacation pay in the 6-personal income tax form?

So, if vacation pay was paid, for example, on June 20 in 2017, then the deadline for paying income tax on it is June 30, 2017 (working day). Therefore, regardless of what date the tax was actually transferred, the date 06/30/17 is entered in 6-NDFL on page 120.

If the deadline for transferring taxes to the budget falls on a “red” day of the calendar (holiday or weekend), then the last day of payment is considered to be the nearest working day of the next month.

For example, vacation pay was paid to an employee on April 28. The last day of April (April 30) fell on a day off (Sunday), the working day (nearest) was May 3. In line 120 the date 05/03/2017 is written. You should fill out the report even more carefully if the end day of the month turns out to be not only a weekend, but also the last day of the quarter.
