The fine for failure to submit a calculation is levied exclusively under Art. 126 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

Methods for filing corporate income tax returns

Organizations must submit declarations:

  • To the Federal Tax Service at the place of your registration.
  • To the Federal Tax Service at the place of registration of each separate division.

Note: if an organization is the largest taxpayer, it must report at its place of registration.

An income tax return can be sent to the tax authority in three ways:

  • In paper form (in 2 copies) in person or through your representative. When submitted, one copy of the report remains with the Federal Tax Service, and the second is marked with acceptance and returned. A stamp indicating the date of receipt of the declaration in the event of controversial situations will serve as confirmation of the timely submission of the document;
  • By mail in a valuable letter with a list of the contents. Confirmation of sending the declaration in this case will be a list of the attachment (indicating the sent declaration) and a receipt with the date of sending;
  • In electronic form via TKS (through electronic document management operators).

Note: to submit a declaration through a representative, it is necessary to draw up a power of attorney for him, certified by the seal of the organization and the signature of the manager.

note, when submitting reports on paper, some Federal Tax Service Inspectors may require:

  • Attach the declaration file in electronic form on a floppy disk or flash drive;
  • Print a special barcode on the declaration that duplicates the information contained in the reporting.

These requirements are not provided for by the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, but are encountered in practice and may lead to refusal to accept the declaration. If this happens, the fact of refusal to accept can be challenged with a higher tax authority (especially if the refusal resulted in missing the deadline for submitting the document and additional penalties being assessed).

The absence of a two-dimensional barcode, as well as incorrect indication of the OKTMO code (if there are no other comments and the declaration complies with the established form), cannot be reasons for refusal to accept the declaration (this is directly stated in the Letter of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation dated April 18, 2014 No. PA -4-6/7440.

  2. Error in advances: incorrect reflection in line 210 of the organization's advances. Example of an error: Organizations sum up unnecessary indicators in line 210, and, therefore, inflate advances. What the error entails: the organization shows an overpayment of taxes.
  3. Error in the declaration for the half-year on past income and expenses: errors in 2016 should be indicated in lines 200 and 401 of Appendix 2, however, some organizations reflect losses in line 301.

Lines 320 - 340 are also filled out in Declarations for eleven months by taxpayers who pay advance payments monthly based on the actual profit received, when they switch from the beginning of the next tax period to the general tax payment procedure

3. Check the completion of the declaration

Checking the completion of the declaration must begin by checking whether all the cells are filled in or not. After this, it is important to check the essence of the indicators in the declaration. This is more difficult to do; when checking, you must be guided by the following control ratios from the letter of the Federal Tax Service of Russia dated July 14, 2015 N ED-4-3/12317@ “On the control ratios of tax return indicators for corporate income tax.”

Errors in income tax returns

Many people make mistakes in their declarations. They can be corrected by filing an amended return. Clause 1 of Art. 54 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation establishes that taxpayers-organizations calculate the tax base at the end of each tax period on the basis of data from accounting registers and (or) on the basis of other documented data on objects subject to taxation or related to taxation.

If errors (distortions) are detected in the calculation of the tax base relating to previous tax (reporting) periods in the current tax (reporting) period, the tax base and tax amount are recalculated for the period in which these errors (distortions) were made.

If it is impossible to determine the period of errors (distortions), the tax base and tax amount are recalculated for the tax (reporting) period in which the errors (distortions) were identified. The taxpayer has the right to recalculate the tax base and the amount of tax for the tax (reporting) period in which errors (distortions) relating to previous tax (reporting) periods were identified, also in cases where the errors (distortions) led to excessive payment of tax .

In accordance with paragraph 1 of Art. 81 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, if a taxpayer discovers in the tax return submitted by him to the tax authority that information is not reflected or is incompletely reflected, as well as errors leading to an underestimation of the amount of tax payable, the taxpayer is obliged to make the necessary changes to the tax return and submit an updated tax return to the tax authority in the manner prescribed by this article.

It is necessary to submit a declaration if:

- you yourself discovered an error in the previously submitted declaration, due to which the tax payable was underestimated (clause 1 of Article 81 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, letter of the Federal Tax Service dated November 14, 2016 N ED-4-15/21472@);

- you received from the Federal Tax Service a request to provide explanations on the declaration or make corrections to it (clause 3 of Article 88 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

However, it is not necessary to submit an updated income tax return if additional taxes have been assessed by the tax authority.

Thus, in the Ruling of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation dated September 29, 2016 N 305-KG16-11987 in case N A40-110210/2015, the court indicated that the filing of updated tax returns for income tax, taking into account the loss of previous years, after the tax authority has made a decision based on the results of the field visit tax audit and challenging it in court is not a basis for the return of lawfully accrued amounts of arrears, since in itself it does not indicate the illegality of the tax authority’s decision.

There are a number of errors that you need to pay attention to:

1. Errors in recognizing direct expenses

In the Resolution of the Presidium of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation dated July 15, 2010 N 2833/10, the FAS Resolution of the Volga-Vyatka District dated November 20, 2009 in case N A82-7247/2008-99, the court recognized that the taxpayer incorrectly reflected the costs of compulsory pension insurance used to finance the insurance and funded parts of the labor pension, the taxpayer had to take into account as part of direct expenses.

2. Violation of the deadline for filing a declaration

In the Resolution of the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the East Siberian District dated April 28, 2010 in case No. A69-2291/2009, the court found that the declaration was not filed on time, but at the same time the court came to the conclusion that there were mitigating circumstances, and therefore reduced the fine by twice.

It is possible to determine the tax burden using the Order of the Federal Tax Service of Russia dated May 30, 2007 N MM-3-06/333@ (as amended on May 10, 2012) “On approval of the Concept of the planning system for on-site tax audits.”

4. Incorrect reflection of expenses from previous years

Expenses of previous years that reduce the tax base of the current year must be reflected as part of the corresponding group (type) of expenses (labor expenses, depreciation, non-operating expenses, etc.) of the reporting (tax) period in which the error was identified (Letters from the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated 18.01.2012 N 03-03-06/4/1, dated 04.08.2010 N 03-03-06/2/139, dated 30.07.2010 N 03-03-06/1/498, dated 18.03.2010 N 03-03-06/1/148).
