Foreign organizations that do not have a permanent establishment in Russia pay income tax at the rate of 10% for international transportation in the case of detention of vehicles. In all other cases they applied to them the same rate as for the Russian companies is 20%. For certain types of income the law establishes different tax rates.

In General, the amount of income tax is the product of taxable profits and tax rates. Taxable income, respectively, equal to the difference between taxable revenues and taxable expenses. If the company suffers losses for the previous tax period, they are also deducted from taxable income. Here is an example:
revenue from sale of goods amounted to 1 000 000 rubles (after deduction of value added tax). This is her income.

Costs: the salary of employees 200 000 rubles., amortization - 50 000 rubles, the funds for the purchase of raw materials for production - 300 000 RUB Total 550 000 RUB.

The tax base: 1 000 000 - 550 000 = 450 000 RUB

The amount of income tax: 450 000 x 20% = 90 000 RUB.
