Self-employment in MadeTask

Contractors can work with us under different tax statuses, including as self-employed individuals (самозанятость). When interacting with a legal entity MadeTask as a taxpayer under the Professional Income Tax (налог на профессиональный доход) system, the self-employed contractor is responsible for paying their Professional Income Tax independently. Professional income tax is taken into account from payments to cards of Russian banks.

About the self-employed tax status

MadeTask does not withhold or pay the Professional Income Tax on behalf of contractors. The tax must be paid by the contractor independently via the "My Tax" ("Мой налог") app. Professional Income Tax applies only to payments made to Russian bank cards. Other payment methods are not subject to Professional Income Tax.

How the self-employed tax is calculated

Self-employed contractors pay tax at the following rates:

• 4% if providing services to individuals
• 6% if providing services to legal entities

Since contractors work with a legal entity, they must pay a 6% tax on each payment received.

Limitations for self-employed contractors

There is an annual income limit for self-employed individuals. If a contractor's total income exceeds 2.4 million RUB in a calendar year, then MadeTask stops making payments to this contractor as a self-employed person.

Professional income tax reporting to the tax authorities

Self-employed performers must declare their income in the "My Tax" ("Мой налог") application. This can be done through integration with the partner service Bank 131, which handles income declaration and tax notifications to the Federal Tax Service (ФНС). The contractor only needs to pay their tax via the "My Tax" ("Мой налог") app once a month.

How to pay the tax

By the 28th of each month, the contractor must open the "My Tax" ("Мой налог") app and pay the tax for the previous month. Payment options include:

• One-time payment by card
• Automatic deduction by linking a preferred payment method

Changing tax status

Contractors can change their tax status in their personal account under "Settings". To switch to "Self-Employed" status, the contractor must provide their Taxpayer Identification Number (ИНН) and confirm their connection to Bank 131 (Банк131). Payments to Russian bank cards will be temporarily suspended until the Federal Tax Service (ФНС) verification is complete. This suspension applies only to card payments—other payment methods will continue as usual.

Professional Income Tax and withdrawal requests

When requesting payment to a Russian bank card, self-employed contractors will see an information banner stating that the tax on this amount will be calculated, and a notification to the Federal Tax Service (ФНС) will be sent automatically. However, the payout amount remains unchanged—the contractor is responsible for paying the tax via "My Tax" ("Мой налог").

Professional Income Tax payment

By the 28th of each month, self-employed contractors must log in to the "My Tax" ("Мой налог") app and pay their tax for the previous month. Payment can be made:

• As a one-time card payment
• Automatically, by linking a preferred payment method

What if a contractor uses other tax reporting automation systems?

Contractors who use third-party receipt automation systems (for example, Sberbank Svoe Delo (Сбербанк Свое дело)) will need to manually cancel the receipt generated by those systems in the My Tax (Мой налог) app. Otherwise, two receipts will be issued, and the contractor will have to pay double the tax.
