ABSTRACT: The article highilghts that in the USSR and Azerbaijan being one of the constituent republics of
the USSR, the income tax on physical persons was not crucial for the state budget, because the income of the
main strata of the population was very low. Even though in the early 1960s, there was an attempt to avoid this
tax, it was not realised. During the Soviet era, the bulk of budget revenues was heavily regulated by the profits
of enterprises and organizations. The percentage of income tax to the state budget was only 6-8%. At that time
the income tax for the majority of workers was almost non-progressive, and its rate varied in the range of 8.2-
13%. Law of the USSR, “On income tax from citizens of the USSR, foreign citizens and stateless persons”,
which consisted of 34 Articles, was adopted on April 23, 1990. Article 1 of the mentioned law stipulates that
taxpayers in the USSR shall be citizens of the USSR, both permanent and non-resident citizens of the USSR,
foreign citizens and stateless persons. Citizens who live in the USSR for more than 183 days in a calendar
year shall be treated as citizens for tax purposes.
KEYWORDS: article, legislation, property, physical person, tax.
RESUMEN: El artículo destaca que al analizar la historia del Reglamento del impuesto sobre la renta de las
personas físicas, se revela que en la Unión Soviética de las Repúblicas Socialistas el impuesto sobre la renta
de las personas físicas fue poco importante para el presupuesto público ya que el nivel de los ingresos de la
mayoría de la población era muy bajo. A pesar de que a principios de los60 había intenciones de modernizar
el impuesto sobre la renta de las personas físicas, no fue posible realizarlo. Durante la URSS el presupuesto
de ingresos se formaba sobre todo por los impuestos sobre la renta pagados por los entes y las
organizaciones. El impuesto sobre la renta de las personas físicas componía solo 6-8 % del presupuesto de
ingresos. El impuesto sobre la renta no se aplicaba a la mayoría de los trabajadores de manera progresiva y
la tasa del impuesto sobre la renta fue entre 8,2 %y 13 %. El 23 de abril de 1990 fue aprobada la Ley de la
URSS "Del impuesto sobre la renta de los ciudadanos de la URSS, ciudadanos extranjeros y las personas sin
ciudadanía". En el primer artículo de esta Ley se establece que los ciudadanos de la URSS que viven en la
URSS permanentemente y los que no viven permanentemente, ciudadanos extranjeros y las personas sin
ciudadanía son contribuyentes del impuesto sobre la renta. Los ciudadanos que durante un año permanecen
en la URSS más de 183 días se consideran contribuyentes y deberán tributar.
PALABRAS CLAVE: artículo, reglamento, propiedad, persona física, impuesto.
