The State Duma asked the FNS to officially explain whether transfers between relatives via the Faster Payments System will be considered income. The request was sent to the head of the service, Daniil Egorov, by Dmitry Gusev, First Deputy Chairman of the Control Committee.
The reason for this was reports that from July 1, banks may indicate the TIN of the sender and recipient in transfers via the SBP. People fear that after this, money transfers to loved ones will automatically be perceived as income and a reason for a tax audit.
Will the amounts of funds transferred via SBP between individuals who are family members or close relatives be recognized as income for the purposes of applying Chapter 23 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, in the absence of counter-provision and economic benefit?
The deputy also asked for clarification on whether the mere recording of the TIN in a payment order could serve as a basis for demands from the tax authorities or other control actions.
For now, there is no talk of a new tax on transfers or changes in rules for relatives. Gusev expects that the official response from the FNS will alleviate concerns surrounding ordinary family transactions.
