How much costs the labor of the artist
Publication in periodical ARTCOUNCIL KHS № 2 (42) - 3 (43) 2005.
Respected editorial staff. As for artist- professional it fairly often is necessary to carry out orders for the performance of portraits, views, decorative panels and other picturesque things. If earlier (in THE USSR) for determining the cost of its labor it was possible to lean on the official valuations, then today it is necessary to rely on the favor of customer. Are there in our state at least some officially taken documents according to the estimation of the labor of artist? If yes, then could not you publish them?
Aleksey rasin, the artist
We begin a series of the publications, which are concerned the determination of the author's fee for the works, carried out according to the author's agreement of order, with this article.
First of all we recommend to be turned to the rules of determining the dimension of the reward (fee) of the author (creative association) for the creation of the works of depictive skill, artistic design and construction, scenarios of works, by the affirmed regional interdepartmental commission for price and tariff policy with the government of Moscow 06.08.2001 (further - rules).
However, with the work with this document, whose text will be published by our periodical, should be considered that the fact that the author's fees in it are indicated in the prices of 2001, and therefore they require correction. Furthermore, it is necessary to take into consideration the changed practice of the conclusion of a treaty of civil- lawful nature. Despite the fact that in p. 2 of chapter "general considerations" is indicated that the rates can be used both for the agreements of buying and selling and for the agreements of order, major portion of the subsequent theses relates exclusively to the agreements of order. Let us note the essential features of the agreement of buying and selling.
1. sums, obtained by the author by agreement of buying and selling, are not the reward of the author (the author's fee); therefore:
a) with the taxation of these sums is not taken into consideration professional deduction NK st. 221, to which refers p. 16 of general considerations of rules, and adapts property deduction NK st. 220, p. 1;
b) from the sums indicated are not produced the allotments to the social funds (PFR, FSS, MNS, etc.), therefore, the work, which preceded this agreement, it does not include in the insurance (working) period.
2. transport services, customs duties and duties, expenditures on the installation, in such a case if they are not entrusted with agreement to the buyer, can be obtained by the author only in the form of the part of the income of the realization of works with the appropriate taxation.
Let us illustrate this based on example.
Customer buys landscaping sculpture in the author with the condition of delivery and installation. In accordance with the rules the reward of the author will be 862 500 rub (income).
The author will obtain with the calculation (with legal person by agreement of buying and selling): 862 500 rub. - 13% OF NDFL (112 125 rub.) = 750 375 rub. From this sum the author as physical face pays transport expenditures, expenditures on the installation, etc.
The author has the right, after turning into the tax inspection along the place of residence, to obtain property deduction in the amount of 125 000 rub, i.e., to return 16 250 rub of the pereplachennogo tax, if to work it is less than 3 years, or to return 112 125 rub of the pereplachennogo tax, if it knows how to prove that to work it is more than 3 years. The allotments to the Pension fund produced be it cannot, this work is not included in the insurance period. In this case also one should consider that the agreement of buying and selling with physical face legal person has the right to conclude only with the presence of permission to the right of consignment business. In all remaining cases, if legal person acquires work of authorship not for its own use (but let us assume for subsequent sale) it must be concluded the agreement of order.
Let us examine the case with the sculpture from the positions of the agreement of order. Author's reward in accordance with the rules is established in the amount of 862 500 rub. The author will obtain: 862 500 rub. - 13% OF NDFL (112 125 rub.) = 750 375 rub. From these money it as physical face will pay materials, transport, services of strange organizations and so forth furthermore, purchasing organization it is obligated to carry out a deduction YESN in size of 31,6% and as the minimum 0,2% for the traumatism, in the amount of 274 275 rub.
I.e., the expenditures of organization for this agreement will comprise: 862 500 rub. + 274 275 rub = 1 136 775 rub. The author has the right to realize through the tax inspection professional deduction in size of 40% of author's reward of 345 000 rub, i.e., to return 44 850 rub of pereplachennogo NDFL. In such a case if the production expenses can be confirmed documentary, with the conclusion of a treaty one should isolate them from the sum of the reward of the author into the various articles of the estimate: materials, transport, services of strange organizations and so forth these sums can be obtained by the author under the report or paid by purchasing organization. In this case the expenditures of customer are calculated as follows.
According to the rules, author's reward - 862 500 rub. Documentary confirmed expenditures - 345 000 rub. The author will obtain: (862 500 rub. - 345 000 rub.) - 13% OF NDFL (67 275 rub.) = 450 225 rub. Customer will overcharge YESN 31,6% + 0,2% for the traumatism (862 500 rub. - 345 000 rub.) X 31,8% = of 164 565 rub. Agreement will manage to the customer: 862 500 rub.+y'ya 565 rub = 1 of 027 065 rub. If agreement is concluded by the author, it, from a bookkeeping point of view, will be considered as the urgent labor contract. Separately one should stop at the agreements, which consist by customer not with the author, but with legal persons, colleague of whom is the author. This can be as the agreement of the order, which falls under for the action p. 19 of main. "general considerations" guided, so agent agreement. In both cases the percentages, indicated in p. 19, for each organization are individual, and agreement, strictly speaking, it cannot be carried to the discharge of author's.
