The modern world presents every person with many different ways to earn money. However, we should not forget that for each unit of profit received, a certain percentage must be paid to the state. This amount is called a tax. The article below will discuss the rights and obligations of persons who must make payments.
Definition
Taxpayers are legal entities or individuals who are obligated by the current legislation to pay the agreed amounts. Through such payments, the state and citizens enter into legal relations with each other. A characteristic difference lies in the fact that often there are unequal differences in the opinions of the parties. This is expressed in the subordination of taxpayers to state bodies. Thus, several conclusions can be drawn. The first of them is that taxpayers are the subjects of legal relations, which are assigned by the current legislationresponsibilities of the necessary fees.
Distinguishing Features
Due to the definitions described earlier, some characteristic features can be distinguished. The first of them states that the subjects of law, which are taxpayers, are a special category that may have some, sometimes significant differences from any other branches of law. The division into such groups is provided only in relation to these specific cases. Traditionally, a taxpayer is an individual or a legal entity, whose status is determined by the civil branches of legislation. At the same time, it should be noted that determining the position of each organization, enterprise and individual entrepreneurs, as well as ordinary employees of companies, depends on a huge number of conditions. For example, on whether the subject of legal relations in question is a foreign entity, where economic activity is regularly carried out, whether there is any work or service, as well as the sale of goods and other products.
In addition, the legislation provides that taxpayers are not only a specific representative, but also a whole consolidated group. Such a group may include several organizations dependent on each other. In this case, all the required payments are replaced by one - the so-called consolidated tax, which, in turn, has many advantages. The main one is the elimination of taxation of property and other material resources thatsubject to any movement within the considered consolidated group. An example of such an association can be a concern. Families of individuals can also join the so-called consolidated groups along with the combined companies. Thus, the payment of the corresponding amounts is carried out by only one individual.
Responsibilities of the taxpayer
The second sign is the need to regularly make certain contributions to the state treasury. In addition, a separate item should be noted that taxes should be paid from your own income. This means that the funds belong to a specific individual or entity. The modern taxation system allows you to make payments not to each person on your own, but to provide the above activities to the accounting department of the organization. In this case, the deduction of the required amounts is carried out directly from the income of the taxpayer. As a result, it is considered that payments to the budget are credited to the account of a specific person.
Classification
As mentioned earlier, taxpayers are individuals and legal entities. However, at present there is a division on other, no less important grounds. It follows from the above that the taxpayer can be either one person or a group of them. The next criterion can be considered the independence of legal entities. At the same time, individual divisions, as well as their groups, can also act as taxpayers. Necessarytake into account that all rights and obligations of organizations, companies and other legal entities are regulated in the same way as the powers of individuals.
Characteristics
The next one is division by size. Thus, taxpayers are ordinary and small. For example, entrepreneurs can be divided into two groups: ordinary and those who have switched to a new, so-called simplified taxation system. In turn, the first category of legal entities may include large enterprises and small organizations. It should be borne in mind that the latter can only include companies registered in the territory of the state in question.
