Self-employment and Informal (Shadow) Employment
Self-employment1
Refers to the subcategory of “independent workers without employees” and to “own- account workers”
Does not include employers (independent workers with employees).
Informal (Shadow) Employment
Workers without an employment contract Full and Partial Informal Employment:
Full-time – employees perform the jobs at the main place of work without registration
Partial – in addition to the main job,
employees have a part-time job that is not
formalized by an employment contract
There is a steady increase in the number of informally employed and their average age
14.8 million were employed in the informal sector in Russia in 2019 (12.6 million in 2006), Rosstat
Self-employment is a form of receiving remuneration directly from the customers, in contrast to hired work [1]
Self-employed – ”an independent worker without employees" [2]
Estimating the number of self- employed in the informal segment is very difficult
The Threat of the Shadow Economy: The Transition from Formal to Informal Employment
Shadow income, profit shifting, and concealment of income lead to a decrease in the tax base
As a result, the tax burden on law-abiding taxpayers is growing.
An imbalance in the tax burden leads to a loss of competitiveness of conscientious taxpayers, stimulating them to go into the shadows
A growing share of the shadow economy
Reduced tax base

Online platforms can benefit from the informal employment of their B2B partners. Tax evasion increases the profits of the taxi driver, courier and online platform, which allows lower prices for end users to increase market share
More and more people are participating in the C2C economy and using digital platforms as a primary or secondary source of income
Uberization and online platforms are driving this change: they provide an easy way to attract and monetize customers

Many items to control
Increasingly, personal income is moving out of the sight of the tax authorities
Opportunities for cooperation between the tax authorities and digital platforms
Online platforms make the transition from formal employment to informal work and self- employment easier. This increases the number of tax audit objects and makes the work of tax authorities more difficult

Self-employment
Self-employment is a form of
receiving remuneration directly
from the customers, in contrast
to hired work [1]
Self-employed – ”an
independent worker without
employees" [2]

Systemic Impact of the Global Digital Platforms on the
Economy
Growth of Internet penetration, influence
of global digital platforms and B2C/ C2C
commerce 1
Online platforms benefit from informal
employment of partners to reduce prices
and increase profitability
The growing threat of global non-
resident digital platforms for the formal
employment and the tax collection
The unregistered work of international platforms—non-residents in conjunction with
self-employed residents (for example, taxi drivers) stimulates the growth of the
shadow economy and is a threat to the tax authorities
12. The Changing Role of Online Platforms and B2C / C2C e-Commerce in the
Economy: Threats and Opportunities for the Tax Authorities
Online platforms can benefit from the informal employment
of their B2B partners. Tax evasion increases the profits of
the taxi driver, courier and online platform, which allows
lower prices for end users to increase market share
More and more people are participating in the C2C economy
and using digital platforms as a primary or secondary
source of income
Uberization and online platforms are driving this change:
they provide an easy way to attract and monetize
customers
Many items to control
Increasingly, personal
income is moving out
of the sight of the tax
authorities
Opportunities for
cooperation between
the tax authorities and
digital platforms
Online platforms make the transition from formal employment to informal work and self-
employment easier. This increases the number of tax audit objects and makes the work of tax
authorities more difficult 12

pandemic1
Used goods volumes up in all categories
On horizontal sites (eBay, Kleinanzeigen,
Facebook Marketplace) and specialized
sites (Lithuanian Vinted for used fashion
items)
Millions of users during the quarantine
began to sell unwanted goods on the
Internet
As they developed, some sites began to
monetize their platforms by charging
buyers (Mercari, Vinted, wallapop)
C2C growth trend promises to be long-
term

14. Online Platforms—Non-residents in Conjunction with Self-
employed Residents: a Threat for a Tax Administration
Online platforms (non-residents) and
self-employed residents
Challenges of the
Tax Administration
An international taxi aggregator provides a service
in the country and receives a percentage of each
trip without paying local VAT. The driver receives
income that he does not report to the tax
authorities (NO)
A non-resident owns real estate and rents it out
through an international online platform. Platform
and non-resident income do not create tax revenue
An influential blogger on an international platform
(YouTube, Instagram) with millions of followers.
The platform and the blogger receive ad revenue
that is not reported to the tax authorities
An informal or self-employed seller in the market
does not issue a check to the buyer and does not
pay taxes on the proceeds.
Millions of individuals are objects of
control. Lack of motivation for the buyer to
demand a fiscal receipt from the seller
Many cash settlements and a very large
number of small transactions (average
check in the Russian Federation = 800
rubles / ~10 EUR)
Lack of motivation for international
platforms to include local taxes in the
check and declare income
There is no way to significantly increase
the number of inspectors for complete
control

Tax authorities should cooperate with digital platforms to localize their business on the territory of the state
and obtain information about their clients to form a tax base

Digital Tax Administration of Online Platforms and Self-

Localization of the business of online
platforms on the territory of the state and

Introduction of special tax regimes and
digital tax administration for online
platforms and the self-employed at the
national level
The goal is to simplify tax administration
and stimulate the legal activities of self-
employed and online platforms.
The application of these measures can reduce the number of informally employed
by 30-40% in 2-3 years and increase the tax base by 3-5 times

25. A Survey of Informally Employed in Russia
To create a simple and convenient tax regime for
the self-employed, a survey was conducted to
ascertain the incentives for legalization
The Federal Tax Service of Russia conducted a
survey of 9000 informally employed, earning
income through the digital platforms: taxi,
professional services and freelance
Survey Results:
76% are ready to legalize their income
67% would like the tax authorities to calculate the tax instead
of the mandatory filing of a tax return
70% want the tax rate to be less than 6%
More than 2 million potential taxpayers receive
income through:

26. An Experiment with Fiscal Holidays for Nannies and Tutors
in Russia
In 2017, fiscal holidays were introduced for nurses,
tutors, cleaners, and nannies for 3 years with the
planned extension of 1 year
These persons who submitted1 to their tax inspection a
special notice2, were exempted from paying personal
income tax on income from their activities3
0% personal income tax rate for
nurses, tutors, cleaners, and nannies
The notice must be filed in person in
the tax inspection (no distant
submission)
As a result, just ~4,000 people got
registered for the status throughout
the country
Taking into account the experience
gained, from January 1, 2019, a
special tax regime for the self-
employed was introduced in
Moscow, the Moscow and Kaluga
regions, as well as in Tatarstan
[1] Clause 7.3, article 83 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation
[2] Appendix No. 1 to the Order of the Federal Tax Service of March 31, 2017 – No. ММВ-7-14 / 270@
[3] Clause 70, article 217 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation
26
27. Key Principles of the Special Tax
Regime for the Self-employed
In accordance with the 422 Federal Law of Russia
27
28. The special tax regime for the
self-employed (SEs) in Russia
Goals
• Legalization of taxpayers who were in the shadows due
to complex tax procedures and lack of motivation to pay
taxes
• Reducing the burden on tax officials
• Growth in the number of taxpayers, the tax base and the
collection of tax on professional income of the self-
employed
Indicators
• Number of registered self-employed taxpayers
• The tax base
• Accrued taxes (“Professional Income Tax”)
• Amount of debt
Tasks
• The tax authorities are unable to carry out full-fledged
control work with millions of SEs
• It is necessary to create an attractive regime for the self-
registration of taxpayers 28
29. Principles of the Special Tax Regime for the Self-employed
29
5. Ability to
work with
legal
entities, incl.
foreign
•Allowing sales to legal entities
significantly expands the
scope of the tax and
simplifies the work of legal
entities with self-employed
4.
Motivation
for
legalization
•The taxpayer receives social
bonuses that depend on the
amount of taxes accrued,
which makes registration
profitable and increases the
motivation to use the regime
3. Minimum
tax period
•The minimum tax period is 1
month, which allows you not
to accumulate tax debt and
makes payment more
comfortable for the taxpayer
2.
Reasonable
tax rate
•The established tax rate is
reasonable in the
understanding of the taxpayer,
which allows him to agree
with the expediency of paying
taxes
1. Simplicity
and
transparency
•Self-employed pays taxes only
when it has income
From January 1, 2019, a special tax regime for the self-employed was introduced in Moscow, the Moscow and Kaluga regions, as
well as in Tatarstan. Since January 1, 2020, 19 more regions have joined the experiment, and since mid-2020 it has been expanded
to the whole country
30. Principles of the Special Tax Regime for the Self-employed
30
9. Online
communications
and technical
support for
taxpayers
• The system of technical support
and communication with
taxpayers creates a feeling of a
"live" system and that the tax
service helps to solve possible
problems
8. Simplified
registration
• A taxpayer can register and
register for tax within a few
minutes from a mobile
application without special
knowledge and additional funds
(does not require a qualified
electronic signature, CEP)
7. Automation of
tax calculation
and payment
• The ability to link and pay tax
with a bank card allows you to
reduce the automation of the
process and reduce
dependence on the actions of
the taxpayer
6. Ease of
reporting of the
income and
minimal
compliance
efforts
• Reflection of income is provided
by integration with partner
banks and automation of
income registration
31. Features of the Tax Regime for Self-employed in Russia
(422-Federal Law)
The tax base
Income from the sale of goods (works, services), with the
exception of income received under an employment contract

31
32. Implementation and Results of the
Application of the New Self-
employed Tax Regime in Russia
Approach, outcomes and partner ecosystem
32
33. The transition to a new tax regime for the self-employed carried the risks of breaking off labor
relations and reducing personal income tax and income from the social contributions. Therefore:
• Federal Tax Service of Russia (FTS) has established a 10-year timeframe for the project
• FTS has implemented a pilot project in 4 regions prior to the nationwide rollout
Implementation Stages
Added 19 more
regions
The remaining 62 regions

«My Tax» Application for the Self-employed
Registration as a taxpayer and conducting
business does not require visiting tax
administration and takes 5 minutes via the
website and mobile app.
As the payment for their work or services,
taxpayers can accept cash payments and use
personal banking accounts with no restrictions.
Upon receipt of income, the taxpayer registers it
in the application.
Application generates a receipt that taxpayers
can (but are not obliged to, if not asked) transfer
to the clients.
Application collects information from the
taxpayer to calculate taxes and notifies him
about the tax payment deadlines.
After the reporting period (calendar month) is
closed, the tax administration automatically
calculates the sum of professional income and
accrues the amount of the tax payable.
A self-employed can pay the tax in the same
application with a linked credit card in a few
seconds.
No need to file a tax return.
