Letter of the Department of the Tax and Customs Tariff Policy of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation No. 03-05-01-03/125 of September 22, 2006



Provides explanations on the procedure of taxation of incomes obtained from the leasing of dwelling space.

The civil legislation associates the need to register a natural person as an independent entrepreneur with activities of a special type carried out by him rather than simply committing onerous transactions. The fact of committing onerous transactions by the citizens is not enough to recognise him an entrepreneur if the committed transactions do not form activities. The presence of entrepreneurial activities in the citizen’s actions is proved, in particular, by the following facts:

- making or buying property to make profit from its use or sale; - keeping records of economic operations pertaining to committed transactions; - interconnection of all transactions committed by the citizens within a certain period of time; - stable connections with sellers, buyers, other contractors.

If there are reasons enough to consider that the above signs are present, the natural person must register as an independent entrepreneur without the forming of the legal entity and pay the tax from appropriate incomes as an independent entrepreneur.

In the absence of the reason to regard the activities of leasing of immovable property as entrepreneurial, it is necessary to pay the tax on the incomes of natural persons from obtained incomes as a natural person not being an independent entrepreneur.
