Let's make a reservation right away that it is impossible to do this legally. But you can minimize their size by receiving a tax deduction or, in the case of self-employment, registering as an individual entrepreneur and switching to a simplified taxation system.
Necessary
Tax Code of the Russian Federation
Instructions
Step 1
The easiest option not to pay taxes is simply not to declare your income and, accordingly, not to pay tax on it. With income at the main place of work, such jokes will not work (part of the salary paid in an envelope under the notorious gray schemes does not count). But various additional (and in the absence of permanent employment, basic) earnings are quite. There are now enough ways to get money: through electronic payment systems, payment transfer systems, postal transfers, replenishment of a mobile phone account, even receipts to a bank account.
Who can prove that this is not material assistance from friends and relatives, which is not income and is not taxed?
Step 2
You have the right to legally minimize the tax burden and return the overpaid personal income tax if you are entitled to one of the tax deductions: standard, property, social and professional.
Each of the deductions deserves a separate consideration. In short, we can say that in order to confirm the right to them, you will need to submit to the tax office a declaration in the form of 3-NDFL, an application for the provision of a deduction and documents confirming the income received in the past year, tax paid from it and the right for deduction. It is advisable to do this between the first working day of January and 30 April. In extreme cases, you can get by with a declaration, and then within three years submit an updated declaration and all other documents.
Step 3
If you want to reduce taxes on income from regularly carried out activities outside your main place of work (in addition to or instead of employment), you can register as a sole proprietor. And along with the package of documents for registering an individual entrepreneur, immediately submit an application for the transition to a simplified taxation system. In this case, you will have to choose the object of taxation: income or the difference between them and expenses. Which is more profitable depends on your type of activity. If the costs are tangible, the second option is better. If not, first.
Agree, there is a difference between paying 13% of earnings and 6% of it, or 15% of the difference between income and expenses.
