Income tax return: basic rules for filling out

Income tax is calculated by all organizations using OSNO. The Code provides for two types of reporting periods (Article 285 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation), i.e., the frequency of filing income tax returns:

• once a month;
• once a quarter.

Income tax is calculated on an accrual basis from the beginning of the year. If a company reports once a quarter, then declarations must be submitted based on the results of the first quarter, half a year, 9 months and a year. Accordingly, in 2020 the reporting dates will be: 03/30/2020 (for 2019), 04/28/2020, 07/28/2020, 10/28/2020 and 03/29/2021.

Organizations that calculate tax based on actual profits each month submit monthly declarations no later than the 28th of each month.

Small companies with an average number of employees up to 100 people can submit a declaration on paper, the rest will have to report in electronic format (clause 3 of Article 80 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

Features for state employees

Budgetary institutions and non-profit organizations must pay income tax and report to the territorial Federal Tax Service on the same basis as commercial enterprises. The object of taxation is the profit tax, and profit is the final difference between revenues and costs (Chapter 25 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). For budgetary institutions and NPOs, profit is only income received from business activities carried out for the purpose of making a profit. Write this down in your accounting policy, as well as the procedure for calculating income tax.

Not all receipts of funds from a budgetary institution are included in the taxable base. The basis for financing BUs are subsidies allocated from the budget; they are not subject to income tax. The tax is levied only on income from the sale of paid services to the population directly related to the main type of activity, but carried out in excess of the state or municipal assignment. For this purpose, state employees keep separate records of income - in order to distinguish between income received for targeted financing and profit from the provision of entrepreneurial activities.

The entire list of possible income should be clearly stated in the accounting policies and internal regulations. All receipts and expenses for paid services must be distributed in the appropriate section of the financial and economic activity plan of the budgetary institution. Such profitability takes into account:

• income from business activities (additional classes, clubs, sections in educational institutions);
• non-operating income (leasing of property, dividends, cost of inventory and materials transferred to the institution free of charge).

Rates for public sector employees are similar to companies from the commercial and non-profit sectors. Budgetary institutions contribute 20% to the treasury (3% to the federal and 17% to the regional budgets) or issue a preferential rate of 0%.

State employees keep separate records not only of income, but also of expenses, since some types of expenses reduce the tax base. All costs that reduce the base must be confirmed by primary documents.

IMPORTANT!

Conducting commercial activities of a budgetary institution, and therefore making a profit, must strictly comply with the statutory goals, be recorded in the constituent documents and be agreed upon with a higher body (founder).

State employees are included in the list of organizations that pay quarterly advance payments for income tax, regardless of the amount of cash receipts, which means they must report quarterly. Declarations are submitted for the first quarter, half a year, 9 months and at the end of the year in paper or electronic form. Submission deadlines are similar to other companies.

About insurance premiums, direct and indirect costs

Taxpayers independently establish a list of direct expenses, defining it in their accounting policies. Appendix No. 2 to sheet 02 of the income tax return contains the following indicators:

• in lines 010, 020 - direct costs of the enterprise;
• in line 040 - indirect costs.
• in line 041 - contributions for compulsory pension and health insurance, contributions for temporary disability and maternity in relation to the income of a managerial person

Indirect costs should be considered the costs of production and further sale of goods, taken into account in the expenses of the period. Costs that are not designated in the accounting policies as direct expenses do not belong to them. Since these are non-operating expenses, they should be designated as indirect expenses.

The income tax return contains an indication of the amount of indirect expenses in line 040 of Appendix No. 2 to sheet 02 . Expenses are partially deciphered in lines 041–055.

Line 041 includes taxes and advance payments in respect of fees and insurance premiums that relate to other expenses:

• transport taxes;
• property taxes from book or cadastral value;
• land tax;
• restoration of VAT (Article 145 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation);
• National tax;
• making contributions to pension, health insurance, as well as temporary disability.

In the process of filling out line 041 within the reporting period, the taxpayer records the amount of tax accruals, the transfer of advance payments and fees, and insurance contributions on an accrual basis. In this case, the date of payment to the budget does not play any role.

Line 041 of Appendix 2 to Sheet 02 does not reflect:

1. Taxes and advance payments, other obligatory payments that are not subject to accounting in tax revenues:
   income tax;
2. UTII;
3. outgoing VAT;
4. payment for pollution emissions when standard values ​​are exceeded;
5. trading fees.
6. Contributions for injuries.

Direct costs represent the costs of production. They are indicated in the list fixed by the organization in its accounting policies.

Direct production costs include:

• costs of raw materials and supplies for production;
• salaries of production employees and necessary insurance premiums;
• depreciation on fixed assets used in production.

The amount of direct expenses for income tax purposes is reflected in the declaration on line 010 of Appendix No. 2 to sheet 02 . Here the amount is recorded on an accrual basis from the beginning of the year.

Expenses in line 010 expenses must be documented.

The values ​​in rows 010, 020 and 040 are included in the sum of row 130 of the same sheet. This value, in turn, is transferred to line 030 of sheet 02 of the tax return.

Table 3. Reflection of certain types of costs when calculating income tax

Reporting by separate divisions

If, within a company operating under the general taxation system, separate divisions (SUs) are identified, then the declaration is submitted both to the Federal Tax Service at the registration address of the head enterprise, and for each UB and their place of registration (Clause 1, Article 289 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation ).

There is a rule that if the OP and the parent organization are registered in the same subject of the Russian Federation and the main company officially pays income tax for its division, then there is no need to submit a separate declaration to the Federal Tax Service of the separate division. The same rule applies if the parent organization has a number of OPs in one subject. In such a situation, reporting is submitted to the Federal Tax Service at the location of the responsible unit (clause 1.4 of the procedure approved by Order of the Federal Tax Service of Russia dated September 23, 2019 No. ММВ-7-3/ [email protected] ). The deadline for filing a declaration does not differ from the generally established ones.

The declaration is submitted for the period during which this separate division was removed from tax registration. Submit reports both for subsequent periods of the reporting year and for the entire year in which the OP was closed.

Where to submit a company report with divisions

In accordance with the current rules, the submission of declarations by divisions of organizations is carried out to the tax office at the place of their actual location.

There are a number of features when there are separate divisions:

1. If the distribution of profit among divisions occurs at the location of the organization , then the declaration is submitted there. In this case, it is necessary to fill out Appendix 5 to the second sheet of the declaration in relation to each existing unit, including those that ceased operations this year.
2. If there are several divisions geographically located in the same region , then it is allowed to appoint one of them as responsible, and it is through him that advance payments and taxes will be paid. Then the filing of declarations will be carried out at the place of registration of the main office, as well as the responsible unit.
3. If the parent organization and all its separate divisions are located within one region , then it is allowed to submit an income tax return only at the location of the main office. In this case, there is no distribution of profits between departments. The parent organization will pay the tax for everyone and submit the relevant information to the tax office.
4. If an organization plans to change the procedure for tax payments or the number of structural divisions , then it needs to notify the tax office about this in advance.

Filling Features

There are different situations when the methodology for filling out an income tax return may differ slightly from the usual one. Let's look at some examples.

Filling out method if the organization has a loss

If the organization incurred a loss in the reporting period, then pages 180, 190 and 200 of Sheet 02 do not need to be filled out in this case.

And on pages 210, 220 and 230 of the same sheet, it is necessary to indicate the amounts of accrued advance payments for this reporting period, if any.

Tax return figures differ from accounting data

Annual reporting is generated based on data from interim reports. Therefore, the income tax return data must agree with the accounting data.

Video: income tax return for 9 months of 2020 (part 2)

Otherwise, tax authorities will “screw up” incomplete or incorrect provision of information. And this is fraught with a fine for failure to submit a declaration on time - 5% of the tax amount indicated in the declaration.

Procedure for filling out for foreign organizations

Foreign companies operating in our country through permanent establishments must fill out an income tax return in accordance with our legislation.

If foreign companies receive income from sources located in our country, then the income tax is transferred for them by tax agents, and they also submit the declaration.

Different amounts of revenue in income tax and VAT reporting

If the amounts of revenue do not match for these two taxes, the tax inspector asks to send written explanations of this situation.

However, not all income that forms the tax base for income tax falls into the tax base for VAT.

Therefore, it is worth once again checking that the declaration is filled out correctly and sending clarifications to the tax office.

Filling rules for a separate division

The composition of the declaration for a separate division is exactly the same as that of the parent enterprise, plus Appendix No. 5 to sheet 02 for the number of divisions.

Only on all sheets it is necessary to indicate the checkpoint of the “separate unit”, and the INN of the “head”, the name of the separate division is also indicated, and advance payments are also made according to it.

Filling out your income tax return can sometimes be challenging. Therefore, you should be very careful.

Incorrect data in the declaration is equivalent to failure to submit the declaration on time. And this entails a fine of 5% of the tax amount indicated in the declaration.

Concept of a report comparing VAT and Income Tax indicators

• During the analysis, we compare data from regulated reports. Moreover, the report includes the latest adjustment declarations
• Program credentials are used to calculate allowed differences
• Indicators are calculated in full rubles
• “Allowed differences” are divided into two groups:
• Carryover differences (differences in the moment of income recognition)
• Constant differences

How to open a report?

To open the report, go to the menu Reports - Accounting Analysis - Analysis of VAT and Income Tax revenue discrepancies

Monitoring discrepancies between profit declarations and accounting data

One of the most common reasons for discrepancies identified by our report is the discrepancy between the data reflected in the income statement and current accounting data (90.01 and 91.01). Therefore, we decided to automatically control the difference and show it very clearly.

All resolved differences can be deciphered by double clicking.

Examples of using the report

Video review of the development
Let's consider the work of the report using the example of one year of the organization's work

1st quarter

In the 1st quarter we see the following situation:

• adjustment declarations are used for analysis (k/1)
• in this quarter, the VAT rate of 0% was confirmed for the amount of 10,878,485 rubles (for income tax purposes, these sales were taken into account in previous quarters)
• For sales in the amount of 3,730,529 rubles, the 0% rate has not yet been confirmed

Result: there are no erroneous differences, all differences are “allowed”

2nd quarter

This quarter we see a similar situation with differences, but the indicators are already considered both quarterly and cumulatively - to facilitate reconciliation. Please note that indicators that are obtained by calculation are highlighted in gray (you will not find these figures in the declarations).

3rd quarter

In the 3rd quarter we see a difference of 33,700 rubles. If you analyze all the data, you can find the reason for the difference - the presence of non-operating income not subject to VAT.

Setting up other income not subject to VAT

There is a special setting in the VAT and Profit reconciliation report that allows you to specify a list of non-operating expenses that should not be subject to VAT and that must be included in the “allowed” differences.

If an item of other income is added to this list, then the detail “Not subject to VAT” is filled in (it can also be set in the directory itself).

This allows you to build SALT for the 91st account, grouped by VAT taxability.

By default, this list is filled with unambiguously “allowed” differences. The user can independently supplement the list. In this case, we will add the article “Insurance compensation (MTPL)” to the exceptions.

As a result, we will receive a report in which there are no unresolved differences

4th quarter

In the 4th quarter we see that a whole range of “allowed” differences have been taken into account:

• unconfirmed export 0%
• returns of goods to the supplier
• returns of goods from customers
• non-operating income not subject to VAT

And still we get an unresolved difference.

In this case, it means the presence of an accounting error in the VAT or Profit return. Additional data analysis (outside the scope of this report) is required to identify the error.

But our primary recommendation is to update the closing of months, the formation of a sales book and refill tax returns.

Future plans

We plan to develop the functionality of the report:

• add to the list of permitted differences (for example, the sales indicator for which the 0% VAT rate has not been confirmed within 180 days) Implemented
• add decoding of indicators from credentials
• add automatic generation of a response to the tax inspection request
• We are also ready to listen to your practices and wishes and implement additional checks

Reasons to buy

Our report helps to understand the reasons for discrepancies between VAT and Profit in regulated reports and will answer the question of whether there is a problem.

The cost of development is 6,000 rubles.

One year of free support (if the configuration is updated or the form changes, we will fix everything)

A year of additional support costs RUB 3,000.

Other information: The report was tested on versions: 1C: Enterprise Accounting 3.0.53 and higher

If necessary, we can provide paid consultations on identifying the differences between income tax and VAT.

If it is necessary to take into account individual nuances and modifications to work in changed configurations, the work is paid by the hour.

Penalty for failure to submit a declaration

Provided by Art. 119 NK. According to it, a fine is charged for each month of delay. Its size is equal to 5% of the tax amount. However there are limits:

• lower limit – 1000 rubles
• upper – 30% of the tax amount

Thus, income tax is one of the complex tax charges. Payment for it ensures financing of both the federal and regional budgets. In this regard, tax inspectorates very carefully monitor the correctness of calculation of payments, the correctness of filling out the report, as well as the deadlines for paying the tax and submitting the declaration.

General provisions

A tax return is a taxpayer’s report to the state for the profit received from business activities and the fee paid for it, that is, tax.

Who is renting?

This is stated in Art. 246 Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

Reporting period

The reporting period for this tax is:

• 1 quarter;
• 1st half year;
• 9 months.

At the end of each reporting period, it is necessary to submit a calculation of advance payments to the tax authority.

For newly created enterprises this limit is slightly lower - only 3 million rubles. For such enterprises, the reporting period is a month.

Due dates

The annual return must be submitted by March 28 of the following tax year. Advance payments are due by the 28th of the next month.

That is, for the 1st quarter it must be submitted before April 28, for the 2nd quarter - before July 28, for the 3rd quarter - before October 28.

If the company pays advance payments every month, then the calculation must be submitted by the 28th of the reporting month. For example, for January you need to submit the calculation before January 28, for February - before February 28, etc.

Fines

If a taxpayer does not submit an income tax return on time, then a fine of 5% of the tax amount indicated in the return is collected from him.

The legislation establishes the maximum and minimum fines - 30% of the specified amount and 1,000 rubles, respectively.

If the taxpayer does not pay income tax on time, then penalties are also imposed on him.

If it is proven that the taxpayer failed to pay the fine through no fault of his own, the amount of the fine will be 20% of the unpaid amount.

If the taxpayer’s guilt is proven, the amount of the fine increases by 2 times - 40% of the unpaid amount.
