Taxes
Your income tax depends on how you work with the affiliate program:
The Yandex Travel affiliate program acts as a tax agent. Its duties include:
-
Transfering income tax for individuals to the budget.
-
Keeping records of payments and reporting them to the tax authorities.
-
Providing partners with a 2-NDFL (income tax) certificate that contains information on the amount of remuneration paid and tax withheld.
-
Paying the partner's insurance premiums (to the Pension Fund of Russia and the Compulsory Medical Insurance Fund) from its own funds.
The Yandex Travel affiliate program is responsible for keeping records of partner income as well as calculating, declaring, and paying taxes and insurance premiums.
Will I continue to receive social benefits?
Placement in the Yandex Travel affiliate program may be considered work. In that case, all social benefits (such as pensions, allowances, and subsidies) will be canceled. Contact the organization you receive payments from in advance to find out for sure.
For legal entities and individual entrepreneurs registered in Russia, remuneration is subject to value added tax (VAT) depending on the taxation system:

If you're not a resident of Russia, you have to pay taxes and insurance premiums yourself. The Yandex Travel affiliate program doesn't withhold taxes from their remuneration and doesn't pay premiums.
