You can get acquainted with the peculiarities of calculating VAT in certain situations on our forum. For example, you can find out whether transport costs when importing goods from Belarus are included in the VAT tax base.

At what rate is Belarusian VAT calculated?

When importing goods from Belarus, the Russian importer is obliged to pay import VAT, regardless of the territory of which country they were produced (this is evidenced by the letter of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation dated September 8, 2010 No. 03-07-08/260). No exceptions are made for anyone: in this case, taxpayers pay VAT regardless of the chosen taxation system.

However, there is a list of goods exempt from import VAT. First of all, these are the lists given in Art. 150 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation and the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated April 30, 2009 No. 372, issued in accordance with it. The exemption under Art. 149 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

For non-tax-exempt goods, the usual rates for import from Belarus are 20% or 10%, depending on the type of goods. A reduced 10% rate is provided for goods included in special lists established by the Government of the Russian Federation. In particular, for food products and children's products, such lists were approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated December 31, 2004 No. 908. Imported products for which no benefits are established are taxed at a rate of 20%.

NOTE! For shipments during the transition period (2018-2019), you need to choose the VAT rate based not on the date of shipment of goods by a foreign seller, but on the date of their acceptance for registration by the Russian buyer. If the goods were shipped in 2018 and registered in 2019, the rate will be 20%.

When should VAT on imports from Belarus to Russia be transferred to the budget?

VAT must be paid by the 20th day of the month following the one in which the imported goods were registered.

KBK for payment: 182 1 04 01000 01 1000 110.

You should pay the tax to your Federal Tax Service.

If a company has overpaid federal taxes, they may not remit import VAT at all. However, in this case, inspectors must submit a corresponding application requesting offset of the overpayment.

It should be borne in mind that, according to paragraph 4 of Art. 78 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, tax authorities are given 10 working days from the date of filing such an application to make a decision on the offset. And if the organization sends it without taking into account the fact that payment must be made by a certain day, it is quite likely that the inspectorate will carry out an offset when the VAT payment deadline has already passed, and then penalties will be charged.

Import from Belarus to Russia: what is submitted to the tax office

For imported goods and materials it is filled in special declaration on indirect taxes. In addition, tax officials should send a number of papers confirming the fact of import and payment of VAT to the budget.

The declaration is completed for the month in which the imported goods and materials were recorded. Moreover, if there was no fact of import, there is no need to compile it.

This declaration is sent to the inspectorate no later than the 20th day of the month following the one in which the assets were recorded. If the company had 100 or fewer employees last year, the declaration can be submitted in paper form. It should be remembered that the mandatory electronic form is provided only for regular (quarterly) VAT returns. The tax authorities themselves speak about this (letter from the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation for Moscow dated March 11, 2014 No. 16-15/021948).

Importing companies fill out section 1 of the application, entering information about the supplier and buyer, information about the contract and the cost of imported goods and materials. Section 2 of the application is filled out by the inspectors themselves (here they also put their mark on payment of VAT). In some situations, for example, during mediation, the importer must also complete the third section.

You can download the application form on our website:

Inspectors review the application within 10 working days and confirm payment of VAT:

• A mark on a paper application. In this case, one copy of the application remains with the controllers, and the rest are returned to the importing company. Of these, one document is intended for the company itself, and the other 2 must be transferred to the Belarusian supplier so that he can confirm the zero export rate on his territory.
• A separate electronic document when sending an electronic application. In this case, the buyer must provide the seller with electronic or paper copies of his application and the supporting document received from the Federal Tax Service.

However, there are cases when VAT paid when importing goods from the EAEU must be taken into account in their cost. Check out such cases in the Ready-made solution from ConsultantPlus.

How to deal with deadlines

In practice, there are often situations when VAT on imports from Belarus is paid in one quarter, and the importer receives a tax mark on the application in the next. According to officials, in this case, VAT is deducted only after the appropriate mark is made (letter of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation dated July 2, 2015 No. 03-07-13/1/38180).

However, judges in such situations often take the side of taxpayers who claim a deduction during the period of actual payment of VAT to the budget, without waiting for the inspectors’ mark (Resolution of the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the Moscow District dated July 25, 2011 No. KA-A41/7408-11). However, if you don’t want to argue with the tax office, then it would be more advisable to wait for the mark.

Results

Goods imported from the EAEU countries (including from Belarus) are subject to VAT at regular rates (20 and 10%), unless they are exempt from tax. Payment of such tax is mandatory for all importers, regardless of the tax regime they apply. The deadline for payment and reporting of tax accrued on imports from the EAEU expires on the 20th day of the month following the reporting month.

The reporting is presented by an indirect tax declaration and an import statement, accompanied by copies of documents confirming the import and payment of tax. For a month in which there are no import transactions, reporting is not submitted. The paid tax, subject to the acceptance by the Federal Tax Service of the import documents, is subject to deduction.

How can a Russian pay for a trip to a sanatorium in Belarus?

“I decided to book a trip to a Belarusian sanatorium. I don’t want to use the services of Russian tour operators; I plan to order directly, but I don’t know how to pay for the trip in this case. I would be grateful if you could tell me how I can pay for a trip in Russia? Igor V.”

Having decided on a sanatorium, you need to go to the website of the sanatorium you have chosen and book a trip. After this, the sanatorium issues you an invoice by e-mail or fax (whichever is convenient for you). The invoice is valid for payment within three banking days.

In Belarus, prices for vouchers to sanatoriums are approved in Belarusian rubles, Russian rubles, euros or dollars. If the price list is approved in Belarusian rubles, euros or dollars, then payment for vouchers is made in Russian rubles at the established rate on the date of invoice. Payment of an invoice is possible at any bank branch located in Russia.

To pay the bill, the following documents are required: passport, invoice and contract for the provision of tourist services, which is also sent to you by the sanatorium. Money transfers are made from your bank account or a deposit opened with a bank; it is possible to make a bank transfer without opening an account.

Many Belarusian sanatoriums offer to pay for services through the Webpay electronic payment system - using Visa and MasterCard bank payment cards. To pay with a plastic card for your reserved rooms and additional services, you will need to follow a few simple steps. Once all booking conditions have been agreed upon, you will be automatically redirected to the secure payment page of the Webpay service.

Can a Russian open a deposit in a Belarusian bank?

“I plan to move to my sister in Belarus for an indefinite period of time. In Russia, I save part of my pension into a bank deposit. Can I open a deposit in a Belarusian bank? If so, in what currency, and is my deposit guaranteed to be reimbursed in the event of a bank failure? Thank you. Simonova G.I.”

Any Russian can freely open a deposit account in any Belarusian bank. This can be done in one of four currencies: Belarusian rubles, Russian rubles, US dollars and euros.

To do this, you need to come to the bank you like, present your Russian passport and deposit the available amount of money into the selected deposit. The minimum amount to open a deposit is $100. It should be borne in mind that the profitability of the deposit depends on the currency, amount and terms of the deposit. Detailed information about the most profitable deposits, bank ratings and much more about deposits in Belarus can be found on the websites infobank.by and Myfin.by.

Belarus has a state deposit guarantee system. All commercial banks that work with the population are its participants. The maximum amount of insurance coverage in Belarus has not been established. The state guarantees the complete safety of individuals' funds in Belarusian rubles and foreign currency, and reimbursement of 100 percent of the amount of these funds. When closing an account, funds are issued to the client in the currency in which the account was opened.

Please note that interest on deposits for a period of less than a year in national currency and less than two years in foreign currency will be subject to income tax of 13 percent. The tax agent (bank) will withhold the amount from any funds paid by the bank to an individual, including the individual’s own money placed on deposit, as well as money in current bank accounts. So if you do not want to pay taxes, a dollar deposit must be opened for at least two years.
