The net profit of Aktiv JSC for the last year amounted to 22,000 rubles. Aktiv has two shareholders.
By decision of the general meeting of shareholders of Aktiv JSC, dividends on shares are paid in the amount of:
A.N. Ivanov – 10,000 rubles;
S.S. Petrov – 12,000 rubles.
Personal income tax on Ivanov’s dividends will be:
10,000 rub. ? 13% = 1300 rub.
The personal income tax on Petrov’s dividends will be:
12,000 rub. ? 13% = 1560 rub.
The Aktiva accountant should pay dividends in the amount of:
A.N. Ivanov – 8,700 rubles. (10,000 ? 1300);
S.S. Petrov – 10,440 rubles. (12,000 ? 1560).
Who makes a decision on the payment of dividends to an LLC and how?
Legislative norms related to LLCs allow the profit received by it (all or part of it) to be used to issue income (dividends) to participants (Clause 1, Article 28 of the Law “On Limited Liability Companies” dated 02/08/1998 No. 14-FZ). The right to make decisions about this is reserved for the LLC participants themselves. To do this, they hold a general meeting. Convening a meeting becomes possible if a number of restrictions are met at the time of the meeting (Clause 1, Article 29 of Law No. 14-FZ):
- The management company is fully paid;
- the withdrawn participant was given the value of his share;
- net assets exceed the sum of the authorized capital and the reserve fund, and this ratio will remain after the issuance of dividends;
- There are no signs of bankruptcy and will not arise as a result of the issuance of dividends.
Compliance with the listed restrictions and the amount of profit that can be distributed are determined based on an analysis of the LLC’s financial statements prepared by the time the meeting is convened.
Analysis of reporting also applies to LLCs on the simplified tax system. For information on preparing reports under the simplified tax system, read the article “Maintaining accounting for an LLC using the simplified tax system: submitting reports .
How to calculate the tax amount
When calculating the fee, standard, property, and social deductions are not applied. It is calculated with each payment, even if there are several of them during the year. If only the profit of the organization itself is distributed, the budget payment is calculated using the usual formula: income X tax rate.
For example, an LLC has two founders, Petrov I.A. and Smirnov P.O., their shares are 70 and 30%, respectively. Both are residents of the Russian Federation. The distributed profit for 2022 amounted to 180,000 rubles.
Personal income tax certificates 2 for business owners will reflect the following amounts of income and tax:
- Petrov I.A.: 180,000 X 0.7 = 126,000 X 13% = 16,380 rubles.
- Smirnov P.O.: 180,000 X 0.3 = 54,000 X 13% = 7,020 rubles.
Also, in addition to its profits, an organization can receive dividends from other organizations. If this is income subject to income tax at a rate of 0%, then personal income tax is calculated in the usual way.
In other cases, the calculation takes place in two stages:
- The amount of tax deduction is determined = (dividends (hereinafter referred to as D) of the participant / total amount D) X for D received. The latter indicator includes amounts not paid previously, as well as non-taxable income tax - 0%.
- The tax is calculated = (D of one participant - deduction) X 13%.
Example: Voskhod LLC has a 50% share in the authorized capital of Zarya LLC. The company received a profit of 500,000 rubles for distribution among the owners. The founders of Voskhod LLC are equal shares of April LLC and S.M. Ivanov. The total amount of profit distributed by the Voskhod company was 1,200,000 rubles.
Calculation for Ivanov S.M.:
- Deduction – (600,000 / 1,200,000) X 500,000 = 250,000 rubles.
- Personal income tax – (600,000 – 250,000) X 13% = 45,500 rubles.
How to draw up a protocol on the payment of dividends in an LLC
The issue of profit distribution can be either one of several discussed at the meeting, or the subject of a separate meeting. Regardless of the number of issues on the agenda, the decision of the meeting is formalized by drawing up a protocol, the indispensable details of which will be:
- number, date and indication of whether the document belongs to the LLC;
- list of participants, distribution of shares between them;
- agenda;
- results of consideration and decision on each issue.
With regard to dividends, the meeting must determine:
- for what period they intend to pay them;
- the total amount allocated for this purpose;
- form and terms of issue.
The payment period can range from a quarter to a year. In this case, payments are also possible for the year preceding the previous one.
The total amount is distributed among the participants in proportion to the share of each, unless the charter provides for a different procedure (Clause 2, Article 28 of Law No. 14-FZ), therefore it is enough to establish its value. Although the protocol can also record specific amounts intended for distribution to each participant in accordance with the distribution rules.
The form of payment is most often monetary. However, the law does not prohibit payment in property.
Payment is made subject to tax withholding. Read about its calculation in the article “How to correctly calculate the tax on dividends?” .
Payment is made no later than 60 days from the date of the decision (Clause 3, Article 28 of Law No. 14-FZ). If a period within this period is not established by the charter, the meeting has the right to set it by its decision for each specific payment. The period is considered equal to 60 days if it is not included in the decision and charter.

If a Russian organization does not receive dividends from other companies and pays dividends to an individual who is a tax resident of the Russian Federation, then from 01/01/2021 the tax is calculated using the formula:
Personal income tax = Dividends accrued to an individual * Tax rate
13% - for individuals who are tax residents of the Russian Federation (from the amount of income up to 5 million rubles inclusive) and 15% - from the amount of income exceeding 5 million rubles for the tax period (year) (from January 1, 2022) (clause 1 Article 224 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).
Calculation of personal income tax when paying dividends to a non-resident individual is carried out using the formula:
Personal income tax = Amount of dividends paid * 15%
A rate of 15% applies to non-residents, unless other rates are established in agreements on the avoidance of double taxation with foreign countries (Article 7 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). If the agreement establishes that this type of income is not subject to tax at all in the Russian Federation, then the paying party does not have the obligation to withhold tax.
Taxpayer status - resident or non-resident is determined on the date of payment of dividends. A tax non-resident is an individual who stays in Russia for less than 183 calendar days over the next 12 consecutive months (Clause 2 of Article 207 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). Nationality of a country, place of birth or residence of an individual does not affect tax status.
In the program, the tax rate is determined according to the status indicated in the individual’s card, established on the date of payment of dividends (link Income Tax

How to decide on paying dividends to the sole founder
The sole founder has no one to hold the meeting with, so he simply makes his own decision on issuing dividends to himself. It is drawn up in the usual manner for such a document.
A sample decision on the payment of dividends to the sole founder can be viewed and downloaded on our website.
Find out which payments are not considered dividends from the article “Procedure for calculating dividends under the simplified tax system.”
Dividend payment procedure
In order to issue dividends, it is necessary to hold a general meeting of the founders and participants of the organization, in the amount of at least 50% of their total number - only in this case the meeting will be recognized as having taken place. It must be properly recorded, taking into account the opinions of all participants, then a decision must be made indicating to whom and in what amount the money should be transferred as dividends. The basis for the decision is the company’s reporting papers based on the results of financial activities. Based on the decision, an order is then issued on behalf of the director of the enterprise.
If the company has one founder, he must make a decision on the payment of dividends individually, while such stages as a meeting, and therefore the preparation of minutes of the meeting, are excluded, but the written execution of the decision and order remain.
It should be noted that when issuing dividends, several important conditions must be met. In particular, the net assets of the enterprise must be higher than the authorized and reserve capital, there should be no debts to the private owners of the LLC that have left, and the organization itself must remain firmly afloat, i.e. There should be no prerequisites for bankruptcy. Otherwise, in the future, during the liquidation or bankruptcy procedure of a limited liability company, interested departments may have serious questions for the company’s management.
Results
The law allows the profits received by the LLC to be used to pay dividends. The decision on payment is made by the sole founder or members of the company at a general meeting, subject to legally established restrictions (if the authorized capital is fully paid, there are no signs of bankruptcy, etc.).
The founders' decision to pay dividends is formalized in the form of minutes of the general meeting or a decision of the sole founder. Following the decision, an order to pay dividends is issued.
How to write an order
An order for the payment of dividends can be written in free form - there is currently no unified form for it. There is only one exception here: if an organization has a document template approved in its accounting policy, then, of course, the order must be created according to its type.
There are also no special nuances or reservations regarding the design, that is, it is allowed to be done both printed and handwritten, but if the first method is chosen, then the electronic order must be printed out - for signatures. For an order, either a form formed in a corporate style, with the logo and details of the company, or a regular sheet of paper is suitable.

Accounting for dividends: postings, examples, accrual
Let's look at how dividends are accounted for and taxes are reflected. The payer must reflect all transactions related to the accrual and payment of dividends, withholding and accrual of taxes on such income. To account for such calculations, account 75 is used. In relation to accounting for dividends from individuals working at this enterprise, account 70 can be used.
In accordance with the law, this tax is withheld not only from those incomes received by an individual, but also from those for which he has the right to dispose. If a shareholder refuses income in favor of the organization, then the tax should be withheld on the day of refusal and transferred to the budget.

If a Russian organization does not receive dividends from other companies and pays dividends to an individual who is a tax resident of the Russian Federation, then from 01/01/2021 the tax is calculated using the formula:
Personal income tax = Dividends accrued to an individual * Tax rate
13 %
- for individuals who are tax residents of the Russian Federation (from the amount of income up to 5 million rubles inclusive) and 15% - from the amount of income exceeding 5 million rubles for the tax period (year) (from January 1, 2021) (clause 1 of Art. 224 Tax Code of the Russian Federation).
Calculation of personal income tax when paying dividends to a non-resident individual is carried out using the formula:
Personal income tax = Amount of dividends paid * 15%
A rate of 15% applies to non-residents, unless other rates are established in agreements on the avoidance of double taxation with foreign countries (Article 7 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). If the agreement establishes that this type of income is not subject to tax at all in the Russian Federation, then the paying party does not have the obligation to withhold tax.
Taxpayer status - resident or non-resident is determined on the date of payment of dividends. A tax non-resident is an individual who stays in Russia for less than 183 calendar days over the next 12 consecutive months (Clause 2 of Article 207 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). Nationality of a country, place of birth or residence of an individual does not affect tax status.

When the legal entity paying dividends is also their recipient, the tax paid by residents can be reduced by reducing the total tax base (the total amount of dividends allocated for distribution), which in this case will be calculated as the difference between the amounts intended for payment and received dividends (clause 2 of article 214 and clause 2 of article 275 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).
How to pay dividends to LLC founders in 2019
At their core, dividends are part of the profit (or rather, net profit) that remains after taxes. Accordingly, if, for example, an LLC works for UTII, then this is the amount that remains after the single tax on imputed income has been paid.
An LLC has a number of advantages over an individual entrepreneur: in particular, this concerns the fact that the founders of a limited liability company are not liable for the company’s debts with their own property.

Purpose and procedure for issuing a certificate of income for 3 months
Certificates of income of family members for 3 months are provided to social security to recognize the family as low-income. Such families are entitled to various payments and benefits - monthly child benefits, compensation for kindergarten fees, travel benefits and others. Exactly what types of income are taken into account in this certificate are regulated by Federal Law No. 44 of 04/05/2003. “On the procedure for recording income and calculating the average per capita income of a family and the income of a citizen living alone in order to recognize them as low-income and provide them with state social assistance.”
A family is considered low-income if its average total income for the three months preceding the application for social security, divided by the number of family members, is below the subsistence level. When making your own calculations to determine whether you are included in this category of citizens, keep in mind the following: what is taken into account is not the amount that each working family member actually received in person, but the amount of wages before taxes and fees are deducted.

2-NDFL reporting in the absence of payroll in 2022
Accountants have to face various difficulties at the time of filing reports. Every year they need to present form 2-NDFL to the tax service and thereby confirm the fact that employees receive income. But what if no one received a salary in 2022?
If the salary was not accrued, then you do not need to submit 2-NDFL. Organizations acting as tax agents for several employees should simply not submit certificates using this form for those who did not receive income during the reporting period. 2-NDFL with zeros in all columns is not provided for by law. Moreover, most accounting programs will generate an error when trying to draw up such a certificate.
