Commentary to Art. 75 Tax Code of the Russian Federation

Within the meaning of the commented article, penalties are payable by the taxpayer or payer of fees in the event of an arrears, that is, the amount of tax or fee has not been paid within the deadline established by the Tax Code of the Russian Federation and other acts of tax legislation. Penalties are paid in addition to the amounts of arrears, regardless of the use of other methods of ensuring the fulfillment of the obligation to pay taxes and fees, as well as penalties for violation of legislation on taxes and fees.

In Russian legislation, the concept of “penalty” is used in several meanings. In the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, a penalty is understood as a type of penalty in which the amount of the penalty increases in proportion to the term of the debt. Penalty in civil law acts as a continuing penalty, which is subject to recovery for each day of delay of an obligation not fulfilled on time. In turn, the Tax Code of the Russian Federation recognizes a penalty as one of the ways to ensure the fulfillment of the obligation to pay taxes and fees, consisting in the collection of an established amount of money that a taxpayer, payer of fees or tax agent must pay in case of payment of the due amounts of taxes or fees.

A comparison of civil legislation and legislation on taxes and fees allows us to highlight the following common features that characterize the general legal concept of “fine”:

firstly, the penalty is a monetary amount;

secondly, the basis for paying the penalty is missing the deadline established for the fulfillment of the property obligation;

thirdly, the purpose of collecting penalties is to ensure the fulfillment of property obligations.

From the meaning of paragraph 1 of the commented article it follows that it establishes a general rule applicable to all relations related to the payment of taxes and fees. Clause 1 contains the legal definition of the concept of “fine”.

Penalty is the amount of money established by this article that a taxpayer must pay in the event of payment of due amounts of taxes or fees, including taxes paid in connection with the movement of goods across the customs border of the Customs Union, later than those established by the legislation on taxes and fees deadlines.

Thus, the penalty is always a monetary amount. Other types of property cannot act as a penalty. A penalty (unlike other methods of ensuring the obligation to pay taxes and fees mentioned in Chapter 11 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation) is paid in all cases of late fulfillment of the obligation to pay taxes and fees. In other words, the conditions for the application of penalties are the failure to pay taxes and fees both within the deadlines established by law and when they are postponed to a later date (when a deferment or installment plan in the payment of taxes and fees or an investment tax credit is granted). The amount of the penalty is paid regardless of the use of other methods of ensuring the payment of taxes and fees (pledge, surety, seizure of property, etc.).

The Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation in Resolution No. 11-P of July 15, 1999 notes that the penalty refers to legal-restorative coercive measures that are established by the legislator in order to ensure the fulfillment of the public obligation to pay legally established taxes and fees and compensation for damage incurred by the treasury as a result of its non-fulfillment , due to non-compliance with the legal requirements of the state. Legal restoration measures ensure that the taxpayer fulfills his constitutional obligation to pay taxes, that is, they represent repayment of arrears and compensation for damage from late and incomplete payment of taxes.

In paragraph 3 of the Determination of July 4, 2002 N 200-O, the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation explained that the analysis of Art. 75 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation as a whole, as well as other provisions of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, leads to the conclusion that the payment of penalties is associated by the legislator not with the tax or reporting period, but with the day of payment of the tax established by the legislative act on this tax: the obligation to pay the tax must be fulfilled on time established by the legislation on taxes and fees (clause 1 of article 45 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation); deadlines for payment of taxes and fees are established in relation to each tax and fee (clause 1, article 57 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation); these deadlines are determined by a calendar date or the expiration of a period of time calculated in years, quarters, months, weeks and days, as well as an indication of an event that must occur or an action that must be performed (clause 3 of Article 57 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation); the amount of tax payable is paid within the established time frame (clause 2 of article 58 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

The Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, in Resolution No. 20-P of December 17, 1996, No. 202-O of July 4, 2002, determined that penalties are an additional payment aimed at compensating for losses of the state treasury as a result of shortfalls in receiving tax amounts on time.

It should be noted that the provisions of the commented article also cover the accrual of penalties on the amounts of taxes and fees levied when moving goods across the customs border of the EAEU Customs Union.

In accordance with paragraph 1 of Art. 151 of the Federal Law of November 27, 2010 N 311-FZ "On Customs Regulation in the Russian Federation" penalties are amounts of money that the payer of customs duties and taxes is obliged to pay in the event of non-payment or incomplete payment of customs duties and taxes within the time limits established by the customs legislation of the Customs Union and (or) the legislation of the Russian Federation on customs affairs.

    Commentary to Art. 75 Tax Code of the Russian Federation

    Penalty (Latin poena - punishment) is a type of penalty applied in cases of delay in fulfilling contractual and other obligations. Most widely used in financial relations in case of delay in taxes and non-tax payments, as well as in settlement relations in case of delay in payment for received inventory items, work performed and services provided. By general rule, the penalty is established as a percentage of the amount (price) of the overdue obligation and is accrued for each day of delay.

    The article under comment is dedicated to legal regulation calculation, payment and collection of penalties. This regulation is mandatory, which is due to the public nature of tax relations. In Article 75 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, the legislator did not provide for references to civil legislation, as was the case in Articles 73 (pledge of property) and 74 (surety) of the Code.

    1. Paragraph 1 of the commented article provides a definition and analysis of the legal concept of “fine”:

    a) a penalty is always a monetary amount. Other types of property cannot act as a penalty (how the latter, in particular, differs from another method of fulfilling the obligation to pay taxes and fees - a pledge, Article 73 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation); however, some fines provided for in the commented Code, in the order of calculation, resemble the definition of penalties (for example, in paragraph 1 of Article 119 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). Tax authorities do not have the right to arbitrarily change the amount of penalties. The penalty is applied to ensure timely fulfillment of tax obligations, therefore, unlike a fine, which is usually calculated in a fixed amount, it is of a continuing nature (collected for each subsequent period of delay);

    b) a penalty (unlike other methods of security mentioned in Chapter 11 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation) is paid in all cases of late fulfillment of the obligation to pay taxes. In other words, the conditions for the application of penalties are failure to pay taxes both within the deadlines established by law and when they are postponed to a later date (when a deferment or installment plan for the payment of taxes, a tax or investment tax credit is provided). Since late payment of taxes (fees) is a violation of the tax obligation of taxpayers, fee payers or tax agents (Articles 23, 24 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation), the penalty serves as a kind of form of liability for violation of this obligation and implies adverse property consequences for the violator. At the same time, a fine in Article 114 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation is not recognized as a tax sanction. Note that previously a fine in tax legislation and legal literature was considered as a sanction (a measure of financial responsibility);

    c) the amount of the penalty is paid regardless of the use of other methods of ensuring the payment of taxes (pledge, surety, seizure of property, etc.). Rules Art. 75 of this Code also covers the accrual of penalties on tax amounts associated with the movement of goods across the customs border of the Russian Federation.

    Looking ahead a little, we think it would be appropriate to indicate that the penalty is paid by the taxpayer, fee payer or tax agent voluntarily and simultaneously with the payment of the tax (fee) or after payment of such amounts in full. The law allows for forced (beyond the will of the taxpayer) collection of penalties due to:

    1) the taxpayer’s funds located in his bank accounts;

    2) other property of the taxpayer in the manner prescribed in the Tax Code (Articles 46 - 48 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

    Order forced collection penalties can be indisputable or judicial. In an indisputable manner (based on a unilateral decision of the tax authority), a fine is levied on organizations (legal entities), and in court - on individuals.

    Therefore, the amount of the penalty is paid in addition to the amount of tax or fee (arrears) and regardless of the use of penalties (fines) provided for violation of the legislation on taxes and fees. It should also be noted that a fine may be collected along with the use of other methods of ensuring the fulfillment of the obligation to pay a tax or fee (for example, a pledge of property).

    2. In paragraph 2 of the commented article of this Code, the ratio of penalties and amounts of tax (fee), as well as measures of responsibility for tax violations. The ratio is imperatively enshrined in the Law and cannot be arbitrarily changed by the tax authorities. At the same time, the Tax Code is based on the punitive principle, which is explained by the application of the penalty in question in public relations.

    a) the mere payment by the taxpayer (tax agent) of the amount owed does not exempt him from transferring penalties;

    b) the amounts of penalties are payable:

    and in a situation where the fulfillment of the obligation to pay taxes and fees was ensured by other (in addition to penalties) methods specified in Chapter 11 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation;

    and in a situation where a penalty is the only way to ensure payment of taxes;

    regardless of whether penalties have been established for untimely fulfillment of tax obligations. Wherein comparative analysis Articles 75 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation and 114 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation (dedicated to tax sanctions) allow us to draw a very important conclusion that this Code does not consider penalties as one of the types of liability for tax offenses (the latter are fines that are applied in accordance with Article 114 - 129 Tax Code of the Russian Federation). “Fine” and “tax sanctions” are essentially different legal concepts.

    The procedure for calculating the amount of penalties is defined in paragraphs 3 - 4 of the commented article.

    3. The rules of paragraph 3 of the commented article establish the procedure for calculating penalties. In accordance with them, the penalty is charged:

    a) for each calendar day of delay in fulfilling the obligation to pay taxes and fees. This also refers to the situation when the amount of taxes was not paid even new term(which was established by the authorized body in the manner prescribed by Articles 61 - 67 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation);

    b) the countdown begins from the next day after the day of payment of the tax established by the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. In this case, a penalty is accrued for the entire period of time elapsed from the moment when it was necessary to fulfill the obligation to pay taxes (if the payment deadline had not been postponed) and until the decision to postpone the payment of taxes came into force. If they are not paid by the last day of the changed period, then the penalty is accrued until the taxes are actually paid. In this case, you should take into account:

    His property was seized (Article 77 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

    On the other hand, filing an application to postpone the tax payment deadline does not suspend the accrual of penalties.

    The penalty is not accrued during the entire period of validity of the deferment (installment plan) for taxes, tax credit, investment tax credit, if tax payers (tax agents) have not violated the new deadlines for paying taxes. A different conclusion would contradict the essence of the institution of “changing the deadlines for paying taxes and fees” and the content of Articles 61 - 68 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

    4. The rules of paragraph 4 of the commented article of this Code are important for the correct determination of the amount of the fine. Determined that:

    The penalty for each day of delay (the number of such days is established according to the rules of paragraph 3 of Article 75 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation) is determined as a percentage of the unpaid tax amount;

    As a general rule, the interest rate of the penalty should be equal to 1/300 of the refinancing rate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, valid for the entire period of delay. In other words, it is necessary to take into account changes in the mentioned rate that occurred during this period.

    The rule that in all cases the amount of penalties cannot exceed the unpaid amount of tax has not been in effect since August 18, 1999, that is, since the entry into force of Law N 154-FZ.

    5. The rules of paragraph 5 of Article 75 of the commented Code allow the use of one of two procedures for paying the amount of penalties:

    1) simultaneously with the payment of taxes;

    2) after taxes are paid (for example, after two or three days).

    The amount of penalties cannot be paid until the tax itself has been transferred in full.

    The amount of penalties must be paid to the tax agent in full. However, if it is paid in part, it should be noted that no penalty will be charged on the penalty. This would contradict paragraph 1 of Article 75 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, which defines the concept of “fine”.

    6. Analyzing paragraph 6 of the commented article, we repeat what we said above, namely that:

    1) penalties can be recovered from:

    taxpayer's funds;

    other property of the taxpayer;

    2) penalties from taxpayer organizations are collected in an indisputable manner, penalties from individual entrepreneurs - through an arbitration court, from other individuals - by applying to a court of general jurisdiction;

    3) extremely important for the correct determination of the amount of penalties accrued before January 1, 1999 and after this date, are the rules of Article 8 of the Federal Law of July 31, 1998 N 147-FZ “On the entry into force of part one of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation” , which must be followed. The procedure for recalculating the debt of taxpayers (tax agents) for payment of penalties on taxes and fees was approved by Order of the Ministry of Taxes of Russia of September 3, 1999 No. AP-3-09/290.

    Lawyer's comment:

    This article consolidated a new interpretation and understanding of the legal nature of penalties in comparison with the previously effective tax legislation. Thus, in accordance with the Law on the Fundamentals tax system in the Russian Federation, which was in force before the Tax Code came into force, the penalty was recognized as a measure of liability. From the date of entry into force Tax Code In the Russian Federation, a fine is not classified by the legislator as a measure of liability for tax offenses, but is a way of ensuring the fulfillment of a public legal obligation of a taxpayer, fee payer and tax agent. The penalty is a compensatory measure designed to compensate for budget losses caused as a result of untimely fulfillment by taxpayers and other persons of their duties and, accordingly, non-receipt or untimely receipt of funds to budgets different levels. Thus, a penalty is recognized as the amount of money established by this article that a taxpayer, payer of fees or tax agent must pay in the event of payment of due amounts of taxes or fees later than the deadlines established by the legislation on taxes and fees.

    When deciding the issue of the legal nature of the penalty, the legislator relied on the legal position expressed by the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation in a number of its Resolutions and Determinations (resolution: dated December 17, 1996, No. 20-P in the case of verifying the constitutionality of paragraphs 2 and 3 of part 1 of Article 11 of the Law RF dated June 24, 1993 “On the federal tax police authorities” dated July 15, 1999 No. 11-P in the case of verifying the constitutionality of certain provisions of the RSFSR Law “On the State”. tax service RSFSR" and the Laws of the Russian Federation "On the Fundamentals of the Tax System in the Russian Federation" and "On the Federal Tax Police Bodies", which was confirmed in the determination of July 4, 2002 No. 202-0 Based on the complaint of the unitary state enterprise "Road Repair and Construction Department No. 7 "for violation of constitutional rights and freedoms by the provisions of paragraph 1 of Article 122 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation." As the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation indicated, within the meaning of Article 57 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, a tax obligation consists of the taxpayer’s obligation to pay a certain tax established by law.

    Failure to pay the tax on time must be compensated by paying off the debt on the tax obligation, full compensation for the damage incurred by the state as a result of late payment of the tax. Therefore, to the amount of the tax (arrears) that was not paid on time, the legislator has the right to add an additional payment - a penalty as compensation for losses to the state treasury as a result of shortfalls in receiving tax amounts on time in the event of a delay in tax payment. A penalty as an interim measure can be applied to a wide range of persons. It can be applied both to the taxpayer and to the payer of fees and tax agent. The special nature of the penalty is determined by the fact that the amount of the corresponding penalties is paid in addition to the amounts of tax or fee due for payment and regardless of the application of other measures to ensure the fulfillment of the obligation to pay the tax and fee (seizure of property, suspension of transactions on bank accounts), as well as measures of liability for violation of laws on taxes and fees. The specifics of the penalty appear in the order in which it is calculated.

    A fine is accrued for each calendar day of delay in fulfilling the obligation to pay taxes and fees, starting from the day following the tax and fee payment established by the legislation on taxes and fees. When determining the deadline for paying taxes, you should be guided by the procedure for calculating deadlines, established by law on taxes and fees provided for in Article 61 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. Since the penalty is not a measure of responsibility for the crime committed tax offense, the fault of the taxpayer or other obligated person is not a necessary condition for its calculation and payment. The amount of the penalty is determined as a percentage of the unpaid amount of tax or fee. The interest rate is taken equal to one three hundredth of the current refinancing rate of the Central Bank. It should be noted that the amount of the interest rate when calculating penalties was changed several times during the period of validity of the legislation on taxes and fees before the adoption of the Tax Code.

    The procedure for calculating penalties was also changed in the second edition of part one of the Tax Code, adopted by Federal Law No. 154-FZ of July 9, 1999. Thus, in the first edition of part one of the Tax Code, adopted on July 31, 1998. Federal Law No. 147-FZ, interest rate was also taken equal to one three hundredth of the Central Bank refinancing rate. However, a limit was set at no more than 0.1% per day. In accordance with Article 8 of the Introductory Law to Part One of the Tax Code, the amounts of penalties accrued as of January 1, 1999, but not paid by the taxpayer (payer of fees) by the time Part One of the Code came into effect, were paid by the taxpayer (payer of fees) in the amounts accrued as of January 1, 1999, but not more than the unpaid amount of tax (fee). This limitation on the amount of penalties paid was in effect from January 1, 1999 until the entry into force of Federal Law No. 154-FZ of July 9, 1999.

    Due to the fact that the original edition of the Tax Code also contained a limitation on the total amount of accrued penalties - no more than the unpaid amount of tax, during the period of validity of the first edition of the Tax Code, when collecting penalties, it was necessary to be guided by this norm. Since the accrual of penalties is a consequence of late payment of taxes and fees, penalties are paid simultaneously with the payment of tax and fees or after payment of these amounts in full. Thus, the legislator clearly established the order of these payments. First of all, the tax and fee are paid, and then the penalty. At the same time, in connection with the repayment of tax and fee debts, the amount of penalties should not increase from this moment. In the event of failure to voluntarily pay amounts for tax obligations and penalties, they can be forcibly collected from the taxpayer’s or the payer’s funds in bank accounts, as well as from other property of the taxpayer in the general manner provided for in Article 46 and Article 48 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation .

    Penalties inextricably follow the unpaid amount of tax and fee, therefore, similar to the procedure established for collecting taxes, two methods of forced collection of penalties have been defined. From organizations their recovery is carried out in an indisputable manner, from individuals, including entrepreneurs without education legal entity, - judicially.
