Form and format for 2021
Starting from the report for 2016, simplifiers must use a new form adopted by order of the Russian Tax Service dated February 26, 2021 No. ММВ-7-3/99.
Get acquainted and.
The same order of the Federal Tax Service contains:
- technical description of the format for sending a declaration using the simplified tax system (Appendix No. 2);
- procedure for entering data into the report (Appendix No. 3).
Please pay special attention: the given form is the same for everyone! Both companies and individual entrepreneurs. Both with the object “income” and with the object “income minus expenses”.
What's new
As you can see, from the report for 2016, the Federal Tax Service updated the declaration form. In principle, the form has changed insignificantly. So:
- the requirement to put a stamp on the title page is no longer valid;
- Section 2.1.2 has appeared for trade tax payers using the simplified tax system with the object “income” (for now it is only relevant for Moscow, where this tax applies):
- The simplified tax system “income” shows by what the final tax is reduced:
In general, as of 2021, legislators have finally prescribed which categories of spending allow the simplified tax to be legally reduced. We talked about this in detail here “Changes to the simplified tax system since 2017: what an accountant needs to know.”
Budget Classification Code (BCC)
Field with code 020 , for individual taxpayers who pay tax on all income for 2012, 2013, 2014, is taken equal to 182 1 05 01011 01 1000 110 . In the scheme of paying tax on the amount of income reduced by the amount of expenses, the BCC is accepted as 182 1 0500 110.
For the latter case, you may need to fill in the KBK in the field with code 080 . Then the value used there is 182 1 0500 110 .
The consultant describes in detail how to fill out the form using the example of the old version, but as I already said, the essence remains the same.
What exactly to fill out
What is the “simplified” object, such sections in the declaration under the simplified tax system for 2016 need to be filled out. Of course, in all cases you need the very first page of the form - the title page.
Those on “income” take the following sections:
- 1.1;
- 2.1.1;
- 2.1.2 (if a sales tax can be deducted from the activity).
In 2021, inspectors expect the following section from the simplified tax system with “income minus expenses”:
- 1.2;
- 2.2.
We strongly recommend that you start filling out the declaration under the simplified tax system from sections 2.1 and 2.2. And then move on to 1.1 and 1.2. The latter are used to calculate totals based on indicators from sections 2.1 and 2.2
Changes to the Declaration
In 2021, the Declaration under the simplified tax system has undergone changes due to the fact that the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation issued an order dated February 26, 2016 No. ММВ-7-399 on the approval of a new form of declaration under the simplified tax system, the procedure for filling it out, as well as the electronic submission format. The reason for this was a change in the procedure for paying tax by taxpayers with the object of taxation “income”, who are payers of the trade tax. According to paragraph 8 of Art. 346.21 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, such taxpayers have the right to reduce the amount of tax calculated for the relevant type of activity (in respect of which the trade tax is paid) by the amount of the trade tax paid.
In the new form of the Declaration, instead of section 2.1, intended for calculating tax when using the object “income”, two sections are now introduced - 2.1.1 and 2.1.2, which must now be maintained by payers of the trade tax using the simplified tax system with the taxable object “income”.
Taking into account the changes in section 2.1, section 1.1 was adjusted, in which taxpayers with the object “income” reflect the amount of tax (advance tax payment) payable (reduced) at the end of the reporting period.
Now, according to clause 2 of Order No. ММВ-7-3/99 dated 02/26/2016, Order of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation dated 07/04/2014 No. ММВ-7-3/352, which approved the declaration form under the simplified tax system valid until 2021, has become invalid .
Basics when filling out
Due to the instructions of the Federal Tax Service, the sample for filling out the simplified taxation system declaration for 2016 implies the presence of amounts only in whole rubles. This means that 50 kopecks or more are considered 1 ruble, and anything less does not need to be taken into account.
As already mentioned, depending on the object according to the simplified tax system, the composition of the sections and sheets to be filled out may vary. However, this does not mean that there may be gaps in the numbering. Only single through: 009, 010, 011, etc.
If you report on paper, use a classic colored pen. Corrective putties cannot be used. It is also prohibited to print a report on both sides of sheets and staple them.
In the simplified taxation system declaration for 2021, all text must be in capital printed characters. There are dashes in empty cells. When printing, the Federal Tax Service wants to see the font Courier New 16 - 18 point.
Declaration form for simplified tax system 2021
The declaration for 2021 should be filled out according to the form that the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation adopted on February 26, 2016 by order No. ММВ-7-3/99. The same order approved the Procedure for filling out the declaration (Appendix No. 3).
The simplified taxation system declaration for 2021 includes a title page and six sections. All pages are numbered in order, starting with the title. When submitting on paper, you can fill out the declaration manually or on a computer, but you cannot use correction tools to correct errors. You need to print the paper declaration only on one side of the sheet, and do not staple them together.
Monetary indicators are entered without kopecks, with amounts rounded from 50 kopecks and above to the ruble. The text is entered in the designated cells in capital block letters. In empty cells, when filling in by hand, a dash is placed; when filling in by computer, dashes are not required.
If a “simplified” employee employed on average more than 100 people in 2021, the declaration under the simplified tax system should be submitted electronically, signed with an electronic signature, through special communication channels. With a smaller number of employees, the declaration can be submitted on paper during a personal visit to the Federal Tax Service, or by mail by certified registered letter with notification.
The declaration must be submitted no later than March 31, 2021 for all organizations, and no later than May 2, 2021 for individual entrepreneurs.
When to do it: deadlines
Please note that, based on Article 346.23 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, different deadlines have been established for submitting a declaration under the simplified tax system in 2021 and for this year in general for firms and entrepreneurs.
Thus, the report is submitted based on the results of the tax period. For the “simplified” version, this is a calendar year (clause 1 of Article 346.19 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).
Payer type | Last day of delivery |
Firm | 03/31/2017 (this is Friday) |
Kommersant | 05/02/2017 (since April 30 is a Sunday, and May 1 is a non-working holiday) |
As you can see, the law gives entrepreneurs using the simplified tax system exactly 1 month more to successfully close a reporting company under this special regime for 2021.
There are 2 exceptions to the general rule about deadlines. Moreover, they apply equally to both companies and individual entrepreneurs (see table below).
Situation | When is the last day for submission? |
Business activity has been terminated and a notification has been submitted to the Federal Tax Service. | The 25th day of the month following the month in which the activity was terminated by notice |
Lost the right to the simplified tax system | The 25th day of the month following the quarter in which such rights were lost |
In the latter case, we strongly advise you to read our review: “Changes to the simplified tax system since 2017: what an accountant needs to know.”
Please note: simplified companies submit a declaration at the place of their location, and individual entrepreneurs – where they live. Moreover, companies with separate divisions include “separate units” in their report on the simplified tax system. They do not generate or submit any separate declarations. Also see “Deadlines for payment of the simplified tax system in 2017”.
Codes
When filling out some details of the declaration under the simplified tax system for 2016, you do not need to enter specific information, but enter certain codes. They were introduced for simplification, so as not to overload the completed form and special programs could analyze it using their own means more quickly.
It is extremely important to enter the correct codes when filling out the declaration. The following tables will help with this.
Tax period code | What does it mean |
34 | Calendar year |
50 | Last tax period for: • reorganization; • liquidation; • closing an individual entrepreneur's business. |
95 | Last tax period when switching to another tax regime |
96 | Last tax period upon termination of business activity |
Place code | What does it mean |
120 | At the place of residence of the individual entrepreneur |
210 | At the location of the domestic company |
215 | At the location of the legal successor (provided that it is not the largest taxpayer) |
Code of type of reorganization, liquidation | What does it mean |
1 | Conversion |
2 | Merger |
3 | Separation |
5 | Accession |

Actually, in the simplified taxation system declaration for 2021, all these codes are present on the first sheet:
There are also a number of specific codes. They say that the simplifier received property, money, work, services within the framework of:
- charitable activities;
- targeted revenues;
- targeted financing.
Basically, these codes relate to specific simplifiers (non-profit organizations) and cases, so most people do not need to know them. Moreover: such information is shown only in the last 3rd section of the declaration under the simplified tax system:

If any indicator is missing, a dash is placed in all familiar places in the corresponding field. The dash is a straight line drawn in the middle of the familiarity along the entire length of the field.
If to indicate any indicator it is not necessary to fill out all the spaces in the corresponding field, a dash is placed in the unfilled spaces on the right side of the field. For example, when specifying a ten-digit taxpayer identification number (hereinafter referred to as TIN) by an organization in the “TIN” field out of twelve acquaintances, the indicator is filled in as follows: “5024002119—“.

How to check yourself
Whatever one may say, any sample of filling out the simplified tax system declaration for 2016 cannot be considered correct and complete without checking for control ratios. These are specific equalities or inequalities that must occur between specific strings. After all, in his report the simplifier constantly accumulates some amounts at the expense of others.
Control ratios are used by both tax authorities during desk audits of declarations under the simplified tax system, and simplifiers themselves when filling out the fields of the report. So, in 2017, for the 2021 report, the relevant ratios are those given in the letter of the Federal Tax Service dated May 30, 2016 No. SD-4-3/9567. Be sure to check with them.
Sample filling
They can fill out the declaration using a free program offered by the Federal Tax Service or a paid program developed specifically for entrepreneurs “1C: Entrepreneur”. All programs, subject to regular updates, will contain new forms with current changes. The declaration is filled out automatically, which completely eliminates the possibility of making a mistake.
In addition, there are various Internet services that provide paid services for filling out declarations. You can also use the services of specialized companies providing accounting services.
