Personal income tax refund

<p>
Foreigners who carry out legal labor activities in Russia must pay income tax. It is possible, with legal work and payment of taxes, to issue a refund of personal income tax on a patent to a foreign worker. The process does not cause difficulties, especially if there are permits for the work process, as well as confirming the existence of official (labor) relations with a particular firm or large company.
</p>
<h4>Foreigner taxes</h4>
<p>
When a foreign citizen has an employment relationship on the territory of the Russian Federation, he must not ignore taxes similar in type to taxes of local citizens. Due to the double payment of personal income tax, foreigners got a real opportunity to return it. This happens in the process of paying tax, subject to the requirement that the employer withhold 13% when calculating wages.
</p>
<p>
In the absence of a patent, but with a work permit, taxes change:
</p>
<ol>
<li>
30% rate awaits persons who stay in the country for less than 6 months; </li>
<li>
A reduction in the rate to 15% is expected for persons staying in Russia for more than 6 months;</li>
</ol>
<p>
This pattern does not affect specialists with a high qualification category - the rate for any length of stay is 15%. Refugees and citizens from friendly republics (Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia and Kazakhstan) are not required to purchase a patent.
</p>
<h4>Personal income tax rate for foreign citizens</h4>
<p>
In the personal income tax rate, a lot depends on the type of salary, status and residence. Foreigners who stay in Russia for more than six months during the entire calendar year are recognized as the last. The status is assigned to refugees, high-level specialists or those who have a demanded highly specialized position.

<p>
You can't expect a refund. Personal income tax is returned to a foreign employee working under a patent after the tax period has passed, once a year.
</p>
<p>
2021 did not become a landmark for the design procedure - it remained the same. A foreign person mayact independently, turning to the tax authorities, as well as through the employer, who, with the help of the accounting department, will start the process of processing and submitting documentation to the tax authorities.
</p>
<p>
The tax service, within the established ten-day period, is accepted for processing information from the received package with documents. The migration service is involved in the process.
</p>
<p>
There is one condition that in almost 99% of cases results in the approval of the application - this is the implementation of labor activity on a legal basis. A foreigner must have the necessary work permits, supporting documentation and a formal employment contract with an official labor party.
</p>
<p>
If the return of personal income tax to a foreigner working under a patent is planned from several jobs, then registration takes place with the help of the main employer. The check will definitely establish whether the application for a certain person was received from other places of activity.
</p>
<p>
When several foreign employees work in an organization, the accounting department draws up separate documentation packages for each employee.

We hope that now you will not have any questions about how to return personal income tax on a patent to a foreign person. This procedure has not been changed. Registration occurs at the end of the tax period, once every year. A foreigner can use the help of an employer or apply to the tax authorities on their own.
