Features of paying taxes in America
For different populations in America
own forms are provided - depending on the specifics of taxation.
You can fill out the declaration yourself. If you have ever succeeded in your life
take a coupon to the local doctor on the State Services, then with this task you,
for sure, handle. Well, if you have doubts about your own abilities, then you can
use specialized services. truth, have to pay
for example from $ 10 to 40.
You can fill out the declaration yourself
Americans pay taxes either on their own, either through the employer, who withholds part of the wages. Most employees prefer the second option - it's easier, and you don't have to pay a large amount at once. The size of the retained part is determined by agreement. If at the end of the year - after filing a tax return - an overpayment or underpayment is found, then they recalculate and either the citizen pays extra, or the state returns to him part of the money already paid. They try not to delay with this, as late taxes are "dripping" pennies. And how in that, and the other way.
Dividend tax
Dividend, received in the USA, subject to tax. They can be taxed as part of the Income Tax return, ie. as part of income. The tax rate is up to 37% в зависимости от общей суммы валового дохода и от семейного статуса налогоплательщика.
However, there is an option to tax dividends at reduced rates.. This is only possible in cases, when it comes to qualified dividends (this includes, eg, company dividends, whose shares are freely traded on major American exchanges). The tax rate will be 0, 15 or 20% depending on the amount of income.
The situation should be considered separately., when dividends are paid in a non-traditional way (in the form of funds), and by additional issue of shares. In this case, the shareholder has two options.: sell additional shares or leave them counting on the growth of quotations. Upon sale, you will need to pay income or asset gains tax. But in the case, if the shares will be added to the securities portfolio, they will not be taxed at all.
Taxation by type of draw
В настоящее время в стране проводится довольно много лотерей, где разыгрываются денежные и вещевые призы. Кратко рассмотрим основные варианты розыгрышей и налоговые ставки при получении выигрышей.
Online casino
this implies, that it is extremely difficult to track payments of winnings to players. Сделать это можно лишь запросив выписки по банковским картам, но российское законодательство запрещает это делать в отношении физических лиц без веских оснований.
В любом случае выигрыш в онлайн-казино облагается налогом в размере 13% of the received amount.
Bookmaker offices
Здесь ситуация напоминает вариант с онлайн-казино, considered above. In particular, не все букмекерские конторы работают в рамках правового поля, но в отличие от казино, такие организации могут осуществлять свою деятельность не только в интернете, но и реальной жизни.
Выигрыш на тотализаторах также облагается налогом в размере 13%. This assumes, that the bookmaker's management independently makes the necessary deductions, if the winning amount exceeds 15 000 rubles. В остальных случаях подача налоговой декларации входит в обязанности игрока.
"Russian Lotto"
This is an analogy to the popular family game. Суть сводится к тому, that participants buy tickets, which are a copy of the home lotto cards. В день розыгрыша ведущий вытаскивает из мешочка бочонки, и тот из участников, which will fill in all fields, can hit the jackpot.
Considering, что билет для участия в «Русском лото» приходится приобретать на собственные деньги, такие розыгрыши нельзя отнести к разряду стимулирующих лотерей. Therefore, the tax rate for the winners is 13%.
Если в качестве приза предлагается автомобиль
- 13%
- 30%
- 35%.
Конкретная сумма зависит от статуса победителя (resident / nonresident) и способа проведения розыгрыша. Note, that the exact amount of deductions is usually announced by the organizers of the drawing. In this case, the winner can invite an independent expert, to confirm the declared value of the car.
Need to clarify here, что внести налог нужно до получения выигрыша, иначе забрать приз не получится. Если у победителя нет нужной суммы, по обоюдному согласию между победителем и организаторами, the car can be sold.
Overseas draws
In most cases, налог с выигрыша в лотерею уплачивается на территории страны, where the lottery was held. Это делается в рамках международных договорённостей, to avoid double taxation.
В качестве примера рассмотрим налоговые ставки с выигрышей на территории разных стран:
- Италия — 6%;
- Чехия — 20%;
- Болгария — 5%;
- США — в среднем 25%, но в разных штатах могут действовать свои ставки.
Promotions
These are stimulating lotteries, которые проводятся различными компаниями для продвижения своих товаров и услуг на рынке. Above mentioned, что для таких выигрышей установлена ставка в 35%.
Cash prizes
Такие выигрыши могут быть в стимулирующих и обычных лотереях. Поэтому налоговая ставка составляет 13 and 35% respectively. If the winner is a non-resident of the country, он оплачивает 30% of the winnings.
What does US income tax consist of?
U.S. taxes consist of
federal, state and local taxes. The first, how difficult it is
guess, all residents of the country pay, the second - residents of specific states,
still others - people from certain cities and districts. Local and state taxes
may be absent, but the federal will have to pay anyway. So that,
if you hear, pier, Texas cowboys do not pay income taxes, this is
means only that, that the state itself does not levy income tax. The IRS is not about you

income dependence, marital status and other factors - there are
special tax deductions. for instance, bachelor, dependents, may be not

from your annual income.
Additional bonuses can be obtained for paid health insurance, work in military structures, rental property, teaching children ... Yes, a lot for what else. There are so many tax deductions in the USA, that I even had to come up with the profession of a tax consultant. In the matter of honest tax evasion, this is an invaluable specialist., which will help you save well and take some of this saved for itself. And the first tip, which he will give, - never throw out checks, accounts, contracts and agreements. It is on their basis that most of the tax deductions are formed..
From the good news, let's move on to
information is not so rosy. The fact, what's the US income tax
