Personal income tax belongs to the category of direct, that is, not indirect, taxes levied on the basic and additional income of individuals. Personal income tax rates are calculated as a percentage of the total amount of income with the exclusion from the taxable mass of so-called deductions, that is, documented expenses for which the law provides for tax exemption.
Personal income tax: payment procedure

Personal income tax in 2022: what changes
The tax rate has not been revised for a long time. The country's leadership has decided that changes in the area of income tax are inappropriate. There was no change in the personal income tax rate in 2022, but minor changes were made to the procedure for calculating tax.
The procedure for taxing material benefits from savings on interest for the use of borrowed money has changed (clause 1, clause 1, article 212 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). Now the benefit is recognized only if the organization (or individual entrepreneur) and the individual are interdependent or have an employment relationship.
The list of non-taxable payments has been added (Article 217 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). It includes compensation payments from the fund for the protection of the rights of shareholders (clause 71), the amount of payment of part of the first installment on preferential lending with state support for the purchase of a car (clause 37.3), as well as interest on government bonds (clause 25).
A written off bad debt is recognized as income only if the company and the citizen were interdependent (clause 5, clause 1, article 223 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).
In the event of a company reorganization, all responsibilities for reporting personal income tax are transferred to the legal successor. That is, if reports were not submitted before the reorganization, then the successor organization will be required to submit them.

Read about the objects falling under this tax in the articles in the personal income tax section:
Personal income tax payers are individuals who, for tax calculation purposes, are divided into 2 groups:
- Residents of the Russian Federation are those who receive income and are in Russia for at least 183 calendar days during the year without interruption. They pay a tax of 13% of their salary (the amount of personal income tax on other income will be discussed below).
- Non-residents of the Russian Federation are those who stay in the Russian Federation for less than 183 days and receive income on its territory. The income tax on their income is generally 30%. However, for some types of non-residents the personal income tax rate is 13%. Non-residents whose income from their main work activities are taxed at a rate of 13% include (clause 3, article 224 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation):
- workers from EAEU countries (see important nuance here);
- working under a patent;
