Answers to the most frequently asked questions
Question 1. Can I become a member of the Professional Union of Artists of Russia?
Answer.It depends on your professional status. According to the Charter of the Trade Union of Artists of Russia (PSHR), painters, graphic artists, sculptors, craftsmen, photographers, designers, architects, art critics, gallery and museum workers, journalists, and other persons associated with professional interests in the field of culture can be members of the PCR. and art. The Admissions Committee works in PSHR.
Question 2. What is the size of the entrance fee and annual membership fees in Trade union Russian artists?
Answer.Null. We work exclusively on a voluntary basis.
Question 3. How can I join the Professional Union of Artists of Russia?
Answer.The procedure for joining the Trade Union is described in detail.
Question 4. I am a young artist, so far I exhibit only on the Internet. Can I expect to be accepted as a member of the RPSHR?
Answer.In principle, in our information age, Internet sites and social media accounts can be regarded as exhibitions. But there are no uniform rules here and cannot be, since the site is different for the site, and the social network is different for the social network. In any case, the selection committee considers such issues on an individual basis, and here we can only give a general recommendation: sites and accounts should be dedicated specifically to your artistic work, and not to any other professional or personal achievements.
Question 5. What will membership in the Professional Union of Artists of Russia give me?
Answer.Excuse me, let's answer the question with a question: what will the PSHR give your membership in it? We remind you once again: we work exclusively on a voluntary basis. So, at a minimum, you will have a document confirming that you are a professional creative person. For many artists, this in itself is a serious support. And the rest depends only on you.
Question 6. Does the state provide any benefits to members of the Professional Union of Artists of Russia?
Answer. In modern legal and legislative practice, instead of the word "benefits", the term "guarantees of creative activity" is usually used. The main guarantee today is that creative activity is not entrepreneurial, because. according to Art. 2 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, entrepreneurial activity is aimed at systematic profit. In the case of creative activity, the motivation is completely different. This means that creative figures, including members of the Professional Union of Artists of Russia, who carry out their activities independently, not according to employment contracts, have the right to sell their works without registration as individual entrepreneurs (IP).
If any tax authority is still trying to require the artist to register as an individual entrepreneur, refer to the decision of the Federal Arbitration Court of the Moscow District dated August 21, 2006 No. KG-A40 / 7525-06, which clearly states: “Creative activity is special kind activities and does not apply to entrepreneurial and other economic activities.
Question 7. A PSHR exhibitions organizes , workshops provides?
Answer.No, there are specialized organizations for this. The task of the Professional Union of Artists of Russia is to protect the rights of artists and other creative people. To do this, the PSHR comes up with legislative initiatives, represents the interests of the art world in relations with the state, leads, publishes, in which, in particular, are given.
Question 8. I am an artist, a member of the Professional Union of Artists of Russia, I sell my works myself. What taxes do I have to pay?
Answer.If you have not registered as an individual entrepreneur, you must pay only 13% personal income tax by filing an annual declaration of your income. When filing a declaration, you can receive a professional tax deduction as a taxpayer who receives royalties or royalties for the creation, performance or other use of works of science, literature and art (Article 221 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).
You can receive this deduction either in the amount of actually incurred and documented expenses for the creation of works, or according to the standard, if these expenses cannot be documented. This standard for artistic and graphic works, photographs for printing, works of architecture and design is up to 30% of the cost of works; for works of sculpture, monumental and decorative painting, arts and crafts and design art, easel painting, theater and film decoration art and graphics made in various techniques - up to 40%.
Question 9. If I sell my work myself, do I have to issue a cash receipt to the buyer?
Answer.According to Art. 2 of the Federal Law of May 22, 2003 N 54-FZ "On the use of cash registers in cash settlements and (or) payments using payment cards" cash registers may not be used by organizations or individual entrepreneurs when trading in retail markets, fairs, in exhibition complexes, as well as in other territories allocated for trade; in retail trade; when the manufacturer sells products of folk art crafts. Most of the ways in which artists sell their work directly or indirectly relate to these types of activities and, accordingly, do not require the use of cash registers.
If you sell your work without registering as an individual entrepreneur, then this law does not apply to you at all, and in any case you are not required to use cash registers. If the buyer asks to give him any document for reporting, then a cash receipt order or just a receipt for receiving money will do.
Question 10. I heard that in Soviet times, membership in the Union of Artists of the USSR was entered in the work book, included in the creative and work experience, and was taken into account when assigning a pension. How about now?
Answer.Now everything is different. According to federal law dated December 15, 2001 No. 167-FZ “On Compulsory Pension Insurance in Russian Federation”, artists and other creative people (“authors of works who receive payments and other remuneration under contracts for the alienation of the exclusive right to works of science, literature, art ... other persons engaged in private practice and who are not individual entrepreneurs”) are subject to mandatory pension insurance, and only those periods are included in their length of service when paid insurance premiums Pension Fund Russia (FIU). The concept of creative experience in the current pension legislation is not yet available, and the fact of membership in a particular creative or professional union (or engaging in creativity without joining the union) does not affect the length of service.
Question 11. And what are the features of the retirement of a “free artist” now?
Answer.If an employer does not pay insurance premiums for a “free artist” (regardless of his membership in a particular union), then the artist has the right to pay them for himself by registering with the PFR office at the place of residence as a self-employed individual who voluntarily entered into legal relations on compulsory pension insurance. You do not need to register an IP for this.
But remember that, firstly, there is a considerable mandatory minimum annual insurance contribution for self-employed individuals, and secondly, only half of the total insurance period required for calculating a labor pension can be formed in this way. To form the other half of the experience, you still have to register an individual entrepreneur or look for an official employer. Otherwise, the artist risks being left with a minimum social pension.
And do not forget about "pension points" (this is the same as "individual pension coefficient"), these "points" depend on many factors, and they may also not be enough to receive a labor pension.
In a word, there are a lot of subtleties in pension matters, the legislation in this area is constantly changing, so it is better to contact the PFR department for specific clarifications and information about your experience and accumulated “points”.
Question 12. Do members of the Trade Union of Artists of Russia have the right free admission museums and exhibition halls?
Answer.Some museums and exhibition halls provide professional artists and other creative people have such a right, some do not. The Ministry of Culture of Russia has not yet issued a single regulatory document in this regard, and for private galleries and the Ministry of Culture - no decree. Therefore, everything here so far depends on the good will of the specific management of a particular museum (and often even a particular ticket clerk). The same situation is with visiting museums abroad.
Question 13. I am accepted as a member of the Professional Union of Artists of Russia. Do I need to provide any other data in order to be included in ?
Answer.No additional data is needed, you will be entered in the Register automatically. And, of course, it's also free.
Question 14. I have long been assigned a rating category in, but I was not a member of the Professional Union of Artists of Russia, and now I want to join. Do I need to provide information about my work again?
Answer.According to "", an artist with a rating level of at least 5 is considered a professional creative person and has the right to join the Professional Union of Artists without considering his work Admissions Committee. So, in this case, you just need to fill out the questionnaire, which can be downloaded on our website in Excel format orWord, and you will be accepted into the RFS.
Question 15.I have sent you an email (request, application, information…), when will I receive a response?
Answer.We are not a state organization, but a public one, and everyone works for us exclusively on a voluntary basis. Therefore, we do not have any set deadlines for responding to letters and considering questions. We try to do all this as quickly as possible, but we apologize in advance if the resolution of any issue drags on for several weeks, or even months.
