Ministry of Labour It proposes to increase premiums from wages exceeding the limits. Additional income, which by 2021 will reach 234 billion rubles., Will help in a timely manner to index pensions
More pay
The Ministry of Labor offers since 2017 to increase the rate of insurance premium Pension fund for salaries in excess of the base rate and raise it to 2% per year up to 2021 – it will finance the indexation of pensions, but will increase the burden on employers. Minister Offers (RBC acquainted with them) were discussed at a meeting with Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev on February 18th. They imply that the contributions paid by employers to the Pension Fund for the most “expensive” workers will increase gradually from 10% in 2016 to 20% in 2021-m.
The rate of insurance premiums to the Pension Fund is 22% but it applies until payment of the employee does not reach a certain threshold (cumulative from the beginning of the year). In 2016, this threshold is 796 thousand. Rub. (Indexed annually). If payment in a year exceed the value applied rate of 10%.
If the proposal is accepted by the Ministry of Labor, the employer burden in 2017 will increase by about 1 thousand. Rub. per month from each paycheck into a 100 thousand. rub.
The rate of contribution to the Pension Fund at 10% for a well-paid workers was introduced in 2012 on the initiative of the retiring from the post if President Dmitry Medvedev (before the earnings above limit value applied zero tariff). The total rate of insurance contributions to the extrabudgetary funds was reduced from 34 to 30% (including payments to the Pension Fund from 26 to 22%), and for certain categories of taxpayers – up to 20%. It was presented as a reduction of the tax burden on business.
Now the Ministry of Labor offers almost eliminated by 2021 for the differentiation of rates of wages above and below the limit value. According to calculations departments, the tariff increase of 2% gives an additional income in the amount of 58.61 billion rubles. And by 2021, the effect of a ten percent rate increase to reach 234.44 billion rubles.
The debate on pensions
Medvedev’s meeting on Thursday were collected, in order to once again discuss measures increase fees to the pension Fund, and try to find a source of full indexation of pensions. In 2016, the government indexed pensions by only 4% instead of 12.9% at actual inflation. The ability to conduct additional indexation in 2016 – one of the most serious disputes that are ongoing in the White House. In the current, yet not sequester the budget contains the possibility doindeksatsii only with a favorable implementation of the budget.
The anti-crisis plan, which the government largely adopted at its meeting on February 18 and there is no specific promises doindeksatsii. Social Deputy Prime Minister Olga Golodets proposed to include in the plan a clear commitment doindeksirovat pensions by 8.6% (it would require at least 159 billion rubles.), But the government refused.
This was primarily because then I would have had to find new spending in the budget for additional transfers to the Pension Fund. Last week, indicate the total value of the transfer in the amount of 445 billion rubles as a draft anti-crisis plan. But the meeting with Dmitry Medvedev on Thursday Ministry of Labor has reported only about 279 billion rubles. At the same time the agency has insisted that in 2017 and in subsequent years to continue paying pensioners less than required by inflation, is dangerous: if in 2012 the average pension exceeded the minimum subsistence level of a pensioner at 89%, then in 2016 for four percent of indexing it hardly exceeds the cost of living on 49,2%.
Business against
«Kontur.Ekstern” expert systems company “SKB Kontur” Elena Kulakov said that in the past years there has been “growing fiscal burden on the employer’s insurance premiums.” “The constant increase in the cut-off threshold for the payment of insurance premiums and the expected increase in the rate of the additional contributions to the Pension Fund have the same goal – fiscal, – said the head of the accounting company” Ledger Consulting “Michael Korkin. – But is there any effect, it is hard to say, because most Russians earn less than 1 million rubles. in
year. “According to Korkin if this policy will be continued, the middle class will go in the gray area. “When premiums are rising, employers are seeking ways to reduce payments: student contracts, compensation for the use of personal property, and other non-taxable payment of contributions (at 212-FZ Article 9), – said Kulakov. – Go completely from the payment of problematic contributions, because not every employee will agree today on a black wages, knowing that on his account by the FIU in this case nothing to do will not be »
Select incentives
Ministry of Labor Offers are not limited to growth rates of the insurance premium. Thus, at a meeting with the Prime Minister once again talked about the suspension of the payment of insurance pensions to working pensioners, whose total annual income exceeds 1 million rubles. This RBC told two government officials familiar with the matter under discussion. With this proposal, Ministry of Labour has appealed to the White House in 2015, during the preparation of the budget for 2016, but then did not support the idea. At this time, it is assumed that the payment of a pension may be suspended from 1 July. Renewal is possible if the combined income is below 1 million rubles. for the year from 1 July or in the event of termination of employment or business activities. By this measure, Ministry of Labor is going to save in 2017 61.4 billion rubles. and another 190.3 billion rubles. . 2018
educational, medical and creative workers could lose their benefits for early retirement: term release of their retired proposed to increase by six months every year
Alternative
along with the Ministry of Labour proposals to raise revenue FIU in the White house began discussing other way. Internal Revenue Service drafted the replacement of differentiated insurance premiums to the Pension Fund, Social Insurance Fund and HIF on a single social insurance fee (ESAs). The corresponding document entitled “Road map to create a single management mechanism of premiums for compulsory pension and social insurance” (available in the public domain) has been sent to the government on February 2. “Road Map” was developed in response to the decree of President Vladimir Putin to transfer the administration of insurance premiums from non-budgetary funds in the Federal Tax Service. Prior to October 1, 2016 the Ministry of Finance and the Federal Tax Service are going to develop and approve the tax reporting forms for ESAs. A single insurance company will transfer the collection to the Federal Tax Service – to a single budget classification code. It offers a number of Ministry of Finance to approve the December 1, 2016. Distribute receipts for the tax authorities will charge baskets. To this end, before August 15, 2016 are invited to synchronize information databases that contain information about the payers of insurance premiums, and insured individuals. ESAs be introduced from 1 January 2017 should be of the “Road Map».
This option does not suit the social block, the official said in the government. In addition, at the meeting with Medvedev noted that so far has failed to link measures to increase income Pension Fund, developed by the Ministry of Labor, and the possible introduction of ESAs. Not yet developed, and a single rate of insurance rate, said another official.
Against the idea of a single administration of social security contributions act and independent trade unions. Thursday NFPR leader Mikhail Shmakov Vladimir Putin sent a letter in which he warned that the practice of a single tax payment collection mechanism in the social funds on the basis of the Federal Tax Service is already there – the unified social tax in the period 2001-2009 – and has brought “negative experience”. “Return to the tax administration in a continuing crisis of dangerous debt in mutual education that will, on the one hand to delays in social payments, and on the other – the desire to limit their size,” – says Shmakov. He believes that the collection of insurance premiums tax service will lead to the destruction of insurance principles, the system will turn into a social security “and, as in the criticized Soviet past, will be carried out on the residual principle».
The officials requested anonymity told RBC, that the final decision at a meeting with Dmitry Medvedev was not accepted. “The Prime Minister reminded about the upcoming elections,” – said the source RBK. Olga Golodets representative and a representative of the Ministry of Labor to comment on the issues discussed at the Medvedev refused. A spokesman for the head of government Natalia Timakova told RBC that “this meeting was a work, all decisions will be announced in due time.”
