ACCOUNTING AND TAX ACCOUNTING OF TRANSACTIONS UNDER CESSION AGREEMENTS
AT THE ASSIGNEE
The cost of acquiring the right to claim is
recognized by the assignee in income tax expense. The income reflects the
payment received from the debtor, as well as the amounts transferred by the new
assignee (if the assignee decides to resell the debt to another person).
THE DEBTOR
The transfer of the right of claim from the
seller to a third party in the analytical accounting of the debtor company is
reflected on the basis of a written notification received from the original
creditor about the assignment of the right to claim the debt.
VAT
The procedure for determining the tax base
when exercising property rights is regulated by article 155 of the Tax Code of
the uk Federation.
AT THE ASSIGNOR
The seller charges VAT only on the amount
of excess of the amount of income received during the assignment over the
amount of the assigned monetary claim (clause 1 of article 155 of the Tax Code
of the Russian Federation). But this does not happen often, as receivables
are usually sold at a price below the debt itself. When selling debt at a
loss, the tax base is zero.
On the basis of paragraph 1 of Art. 155
of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, it can be concluded that the
seller's object of taxation arises only if he concedes the debt for goods
(work, services) subject to VAT. Consequently, when it comes to
non-taxable transactions, then the concession should not be the basis for
calculating tax. But UK Tax Service does not agree with this
statement. In a letter dated August 14, 2017, No. SD-4-3 / 15915 @, she
explained that clause 1 of Art. 155 of the Tax Code of the Uk Federation, there are no exceptions, which means that when the initial creditor
assigns a monetary claim under a service agreement that is not subject to VAT,
the tax base is determined by the taxpayer in accordance with para. 2 p. 1
of Art. 155 of the Tax Code of the UK Federation (for the difference
between the amount of income received by the original creditor and the amount
of the assigned claim).
