This article considers the main issues connected with the definition of the profit tax when implementing activities that both should be patented and not be patented.

 

Key words. Taxes, taxpayer, patent, balance cost, deterioration, gross revenue, profit.

I.                      Introduction. In order to reduce the sum of supplemented profit tax from those types of activities, for which patents were gained, independent stock-tacking cost of trade patents is used. Therefore the object of taxing, received from activity which is not  patented and is not reduced by taxpayer on negative meaning of taxing, received from activity which is patented and vice versa. It depends on that such payer proclaims general sum of tax obligation according to all types of activity in tax profit declaration where this negative meaning is taken into account while defining general tax obligation.

       Changes, introduced into the profit  law, procedure of tax reduction on profit which is payable for the cost of trade patents, is regulated and has been used since 1st January 2005. In  present procedure, tax profit is defined separately on each type of activity which is patented and separately – on the different activity. In order to determine tax obligation of accounting period it is allowed to reduce only that part of profit taxation which is got from type of activity liable to patenting according to law of Ukraine “About patenting some types of industrialist activity”.

II.                   Raising of task. Aim of project – taxation optimization of undertaking under realization types of activity which are liable and not liable to patenting.

      Methods of study – the framework of research methodology is the analysis of state accountant’s calculating and audit, economics, works of native and foreign scholars in the field of industrialist activity.

      It is essential to mention, that types of activity, which are liable to patenting, do not coincide with the species of economical activity. They are established by National Classifier NC 009-96 “Classification of economical activities’ types” which is approved by State committee’s command on standardization metrology and certification from 22.10.96 ¹ 441 2 types of license which are defined by law of Ukraine “About license of definite types of business activity or special laws [4].

While carrying out at the same time several types of activity which can be patented and can not be patented, difficulties arise in definition, balance cost of goods.

As a result – some difficulties, connected with tax profit.

III.               Results. According to the law, there are 4 types of business activity, authority of which is allowed the presence of trade patent:

-     Trade activity by cash. Under trade activity, retail and wholesale are understood, trade activity in the commercial-industrial field by cash, by another payment and by credit cards.

-     Activity on exchange of cash foreign values. (Sale of cash foreign currency,  another cash payment, conveyed in foreign currency)

-     Activity on giving service in the field of gambling. Under gambling business is considered to take activity connected with the casino, gambling places (houses), slot machine, winning with the monetary and property lotteries, winning organization.

-     Activity on giving everyday services. Under everyday services are consider to take the activity connected with pay services to satisfy individual clients’ needs by cash and also by using other forms of payment including credit cards [2].

In order to determine the profit received from patent activity according to profit law, it is directed to lead separate calculation of:

-  Gross revenue, received from realization activity which is liable to patenting

-  Gross expenses, carried because of running such activity

-  Balance cost of goods, which are used in such activity

-  Shock-absorbing calculations, related to given activity[1]

We will not face the difficulties if we abstract from total gross revenue of that part of accounts period which is received from patent activity. For business companies, independently what kind of business they lead, according to the code CBED, the revenue from patented activity is the resource, received by cash or by credit cards. According to the data’s accounting, it is not hard to define revenue for other patented activities [1]. Distribution of gross expenses by kinds of patented activity is more problematical task, because accounting’s methodology does not provide expenses distribution. Such method is not developed by tax law.

The necessity of balance cost of goods distribution clashes with impossibility of realization. The procedure of calculation grow (diminution) balance cost stocks which is established by profit law, issues from, that it is necessary to know not only stocks used in given activity for accounting period but also debris of such stocks for the beginning of the period to define the right growth (diminution).

They should be gained only for this activity and be in uncompleted production. In normative document regulated as accounting and tax calculation, conditions and criterion are lacking. In accordance with them, obtained goods (stocks) primordially are fixed and they are used directly. ( for example – only sold by cash). It is virtually impossible to calculate the growth of stock without such normative framework.

  There are also some difficulties when we are talking about distribution of shock-absorbing deduction on patented or other activity. In this case, it will be rational to use simplified method.

    According to item 16.3 article 16 of Profit Law, the main funds are used for realization activity which is liable to patenting and for other activities and also to define the object of taxation for different kinds of activity. The method of proportional sum distribution of shock-absorbing deduction is used and it depends on position of income which comes to each type of activity. It is also confirmed that separate calculation of growth (diminution) balance cost of good is not given into practical realization. Taxpayer has to distribute this quantity with the help of proportional method.

IV.                Conclusion

1.     It is seen from the given Tax Administration’s letter from 05.08.2005 ¹ 15614/7/11-111 about procedure of defining profit from patented types of activity that specialists met the same problem to distribute the index growth of balance cost of goods on content with patents. And as one of the way to solve this problem tax administration offered to distribute equalized gross profits and equalized gross expenses compounded with individual component meaning stock's growth.

More interesting this problem was solved by tax administration in the table 3 in appendix K6. Special lines for reflection of growth meaning of balance good's cost can be seen there. They are reflected as constituent of equlized gross profit's quantity. They have informative character. It is recommended to keep individual calculation of stocks on patented and non-patented types of activity. It is also advised to enter additional sub calculations. For example, we have a patented activity "Crude and materials" and it will be considered according to sub calculation 2011, but if we have another activity, the sub calculation will be 2012.

  Tax administration has not determined yet the fact about distribution of trade patented and non-patented activity. They made provision for businessman to be busy with 3 types of activity: wholesale, retail and gambling. Patents are got on wholesale and gambling. But it is mentioned in the example that wholesale activity is considered as non-patented activity but it should be mentioned as "another activity" in the law profit terminology. Then, wholesale activity can be referred to patented activity if it is carried through the trade object with cash calculations.

2. After studding the calculation problems in tax registration, it is appropriate to take into account profits, expenses, industrial stocks and also to distribute amortization proportionally to gross revenue.
