Letter of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation No. 03-03-02/84 of April 13, 2006 on the Taxation of Repo Operations
Explains the procedure of taxation of operations envisaging a repurchase agreement of participants for the securities. Such transaction implies that one party sells to the other a packet of securities of certain value with an obligation to buy them back at specified price.
Provisions of Article 282 of the Tax Code may apply to only those repo operations where the time between the dates of execution of the first and the second parts is not greater than one year. If the committed operation is not a repo one, its taxation is done according to the articles regulating the procedure of determination of the taxable base when committing operations with securities.
When applying the method of accruing, expenses are recognised as of the date of payments according to the terms of concluded contracts or as of the date of presenting of documents to the taxpayer serving as grounds to make the payments, or as of the last day of the reporting (tax) period. Such expenses reduce the taxpayer taxable base determined according to Article 274 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation and do not form the taxable base for operations with securities.
The taxable base for the profit tax is formed with the seller under the first part of the repo agreement only as of the date of sale or the final redemption of the nominal cost of the security with amortisation of the debt. The seller under the first part of the repo agreement forms only the taxable base subject to the 24% rate if the securities sold by him are purchased under another repo operation.
For repo operations, the interest is accumulated using the method of accruing as of the end of the reporting (tax) period for organisations applying the method of accruing for the purposes of taxation of profit. The interest for taxation purposes is accrued proceeding from the interest base (price of the first part of the repo operation taking into account the accumulated coupon income if available), repo rate and the repo period. For organisations applying the cash method, incomes (expenses) for the repo operation are recognised for taxation purposes according to Article 273 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.
Operations of sale of securities in repo operations are exempted from the value added tax.
