A timesheet is a basic document for determining the length of service and salary of any employee.

Knowing a few simple filling rules will make it easier to navigate the notations.

  • What is it needed for?
  • Unified form
  • What does the document contain?
  • Accounting methods
  • Subtleties of filling out Sick days
  • Absence from work with permission
  • Vacation
  • Processing of specialists with irregular working hours
  • Part-time exit
  • Summarized accounting
  • Business trips
  • Shelf life
  • Advances under the simplified tax system in 2021

    On the simplified tax system, a single tax must be paid annually. At the same time, it is important to make advance payments every quarter during the year. The Federal Tax Service expects payments from organizations and individual entrepreneurs by the 25th of the month following the reporting period. The dates for 2021 and 2021 are as follows:

    Reporting period20202021
    1st quarterApril 2726 April
    half yearJuly 2726 July
    9 monthsOctober 26the 25th of October

    If the 25th falls on a weekend or non-working holiday, then the due date is postponed to the next working day. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, all companies that are required to comply with the non-working day regime have received a deferment on tax payment until May 12. Simplified workers from the most affected industries will be able to pay an advance payment for the first quarter until October 26, and for the half-year - until November 25. There is no formal advance payment for the 4th quarter. It represents the final payment for the year. Organizations and individual entrepreneurs calculate tax according to the simplified tax system, taking into account all previously paid advance payments. Simplifiers at the object “Income minus expenses” calculate a single or minimum tax. You need to transfer taxes to the budget:

    The deadline for paying the single tax under the simplified tax system in 2021 has been postponed for industries affected by the coronavirus pandemic. For 2021, LLCs can pay tax until September 30, and individual entrepreneurs - until October 30.

    Don't ignore down payments. If an entrepreneur decides to calculate and transfer the tax only after the end of the calendar year, he will have to respond in rubles: for each day the advance payment is late, the Federal Tax Service charges penalties - use our free penalty calculator to calculate their amount. If a businessman fails to pay tax for the year, in addition to penalties, he faces a fine of 20% or 40% of the unpaid amount.

    Advance payment for 1st quarter

    Calculation of the advance payment for the 1st quarter using the “income” base

    Step 1. To calculate the tax, we determine the tax base: we sum up all income from the beginning of the year. This indicator is taken from the 1st section of the Book of Income and Expenses. Organizations and individual entrepreneurs on a simplified basis take into account revenue from sales as income, as well as non-operating income, which are listed in Art. 249 and 250 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

    Step 2. The tax amount is calculated using the formula: Income × Tax rate. Check the tax rate for your type of activity and your region - it can range from 1 to 6%. From January 1, 2021, an increased rate of 8% also appeared for those taxpayers who violated the basic limits. We will explain below how to calculate the tax if the limits are exceeded.

    Step 3. Simplified workers on the “income” basis have the right to apply a tax deduction and reduce the tax by the amount of insurance premiums paid for employees, as well as sick leave paid by the employer.

    • LLCs and individual entrepreneurs with employees can reduce tax by no more than 50%.
    • An individual entrepreneur without employees has the right to reduce tax without restrictions by the amount of insurance premiums that he pays for himself.

    The trade tax deduction is applied without restrictions.

    Now we deduct from the tax amount all paid contributions, fees and sick leave. If the amount of the tax deduction exceeds 50% of the tax (for organizations and individual entrepreneurs with employees), then the tax is reduced only by half.

    An example of calculating an advance payment for Kopyto LLC for the 1st quarter of 2021

    Tax base “income”, rate 6%.

    The enterprise's income from the beginning of the year to the end of March amounted to 150,000 rubles.

    • Advance payment for the 1st quarter: 150,000 × 6% = 9,000 rubles.

    We may reduce this amount by the amount of fees paid. The organization has two employees, the salary of each of them is 30,000 rubles. Insurance contributions are paid from the salary in the amount of 30%, that is, 18,000 rubles per month. Over the past quarter, the organization transferred insurance premiums in the amount of 54,000 rubles (18,000 × 3). Sick leave was not paid.

    We see that the amount of contributions is greater than the amount of tax, but we can still only reduce the tax by half:

    • 9,000 × 50% = 4,500 rubles.

    Thus, the organization must pay 4,500 rubles by April 25.

    Calculation of the advance payment for the 1st quarter using the “Income minus expenses” base

    Step 1. Determine the tax base. The amount of income is taken from section 1 KUDIR - the total amount for the reporting period, column 4. Simplified people must take into account income in the tax base in accordance with Art. 249 and 250 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. The amount of expenses that we will deduct from income is taken from column 5 of section 1 KUDIR. Under the simplified tax system, economically justified and documented costs are recognized as expenses, which are listed in paragraph 1 of Art. 346.16 Tax Code of the Russian Federation. You can read about how to keep track of expenses under the simplified tax system in our article.

    Step 2. The tax amount is calculated using the formula: (Income – Expenses) × 15%. Check the tax rate for your region and type of activity, it may be less than 15%.

    A separate question: what to do with insurance premiums? In accordance with clause 1.7 of Art. 346.16 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, simplified versions include paid insurance premiums as expenses. This applies to contributions for employees and contributions from entrepreneurs “for themselves.” Paid insurance premiums reduce the tax base and the tax itself.

    An example of calculating an advance payment for an individual entrepreneur A.V. Petrov for 1st quarter.

    Tax base “income minus expenses”, rate 15%.

    The income of the individual entrepreneur from January to the end of March amounted to 120,000 rubles. The individual entrepreneur's expenses for 3 months amounted to 40,000 rubles. Individual entrepreneur Petrov pays insurance premiums for himself in each quarter of 10,220 rubles, he included this amount in expenses.

    • Advance payment amount: (120,000 – 40,000) × 15% = 12,000 rubles.

    Thus, the individual entrepreneur must pay 12,000 rubles by April 25.

    How to pay for New Year holidays for salaried employees

    There is an unshakable rule in labor legislation - for employees receiving a salary, the presence of non-working holidays in a calendar month cannot serve as a basis for reducing wages (Article 112 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

    In January 2021, out of 31 calendar days for salaried employees, only 15 will be working. But they must be paid their salary in full, provided that they work all 15 working days.

    The rules by which salaried employees are paid for New Year's holidays in January 2021 are presented in the diagram (parts 3, 4 of article 112, article 153 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation):

    An important indicator is the monthly working hours. It can be different depending on the length of the working week, which can be 40 hours, 35 hours, 30 hours. or have a different duration. If the production calendar does not have a ready-made figure for the monthly time standard for your case, you will have to calculate it using the formula (Part 3 of Article 91 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, Clause 1 of the Procedure, approved by Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development dated August 13, 2009 No. 588n):

    Another important nuance when calculating holiday supplements is whether the employee prefers time off or money.

    Let us show with an example how to calculate the amount of payment for work on a non-working holiday in excess of the monthly working hours if the employee does not take time off.

    An employee with a salary of 30,000 rubles. and a monthly surcharge for harmfulness of 1,500 rubles. brought to work on January 4, 2021 for 3 hours outside the monthly working hours.

    Other conditions for calculation: five-day 40-hour work week. The standard working time in January 2021 according to the production calendar is 120 hours. The employee refused time off.

    Let's calculate the hourly rate: (30,000 rubles. 1,500 rubles) / 120 hours. = 262.50 rub./hour.

    The additional payment for work on January 4 will be double and will be: 262.50 rubles/hour x 3 hours x 2 = 1,575 rubles.

    Advance payment for 2nd quarter

    The procedure for calculating the advance payment for the second quarter is similar to the first. It is important to keep in mind that advance payments paid in the last quarter must first be subtracted from the calculated tax amount.

    An example of calculating an advance payment for LLC “Kopyto” for the 2nd quarter

    The enterprise's income from the beginning of the year to the end of June amounted to 270,000 rubles. Of these, 150,000 rubles for the 1st quarter and 120,000 rubles for the 2nd quarter. Advance payment for the 1st quarter - 4,500 rubles.

    • Tax amount for the half year: 270,000 × 6% = 16,200 rubles

    We can reduce this amount by the amount of contributions paid, which for the first six months amounted to, say, 108,000 rubles. Sick leave was not paid. We see that the amount of contributions is greater than the amount of tax, but the tax can still only be reduced by half:

    • Tax amount for half a year with deduction: 16,200 × 50% = 8,100 rubles

    Now from this amount we must subtract the advance payment of the 1st quarter: 8,100 – 4,500 = 3,600 rubles.

    Thus, the organization must pay 3,600 rubles by July 25.

    Calculation of the advance payment for the 2nd quarter using the “Income minus expenses” base

    The procedure for calculating the advance payment for the taxable base “Income minus expenses” is also similar to the first quarter. But the advance paid in the first quarter must first be deducted from the amount of tax calculated in the second quarter.

    An example of calculating an advance payment for an individual entrepreneur A.V. Petrov for the 2nd quarter.

    The income of the individual entrepreneur from January to the end of June amounted to 230,000 rubles. Of these, 120,000 were for the 1st quarter, 110,000 were for the 2nd quarter. The individual entrepreneur's expenses for 6 months amounted to 85,000 rubles. Of these, 40,000 for the 1st quarter, 45,000 for the 2nd quarter. Advance payment in the 1st quarter - 12,000 rubles. Individual entrepreneur Petrov pays insurance premiums for himself in each quarter of 10,200 rubles, he included these amounts in expenses.

    • Tax amount for half a year: (230,000 – 85,000) × 15% = 21,750 rubles

    Now we subtract the advance payment for the 1st quarter from this amount: 21,750 - 12,000 = 9,750 rubles.

    Thus, the individual entrepreneur must pay 9,750 rubles by July 25.

    How to celebrate vacation

    If an employee is sent on vacation, then the corresponding days in the working time sheet are marked with special codes. In this case, the bottom cell - the number of hours - is not filled in.

    To reflect leave in forms No. T-12 and No. T-13, the following designations are used: OT (09) - for the main annual paid leave, OD (10) - for additional paid leave provided to some employees (for example, employees with irregular hours; Article 116 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). Study leave corresponds to code U (11), and leave “at your own expense” corresponds to code DO (16).

    To indicate maternity leave, code P (14) is used. The same code is used in the case of extended leave granted due to complicated childbirth (Article 255 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). To reflect parental leave for a child up to three years old, the OZh code (15) is used.

    IMPORTANT. For the purpose of filling out the report card, there is no difference between parental leave for a child up to 1.5 years and parental leave for a child up to 3 years. In any of these cases, the coolant code (15) is set for all days of the corresponding vacation.

    Advance payment for 3rd quarter

    Calculation of the advance payment for the 3rd quarter using the “income” base

    The procedure for calculating the advance payment for the third quarter is similar to the first. It is important to keep in mind that advance payments paid in the first and second quarter must first be subtracted from the calculated tax amount.

    An example of calculating an advance payment for LLC “Kopyto” for the 3rd quarter

    Tax base “income”, rate 6%

    The enterprise's income from the beginning of the year to the end of September amounted to 420,000 rubles. Of these, 150,000 rubles for the 1st quarter, 120,000 rubles for the 2nd quarter and 150,000 for the 3rd quarter. Advance payments for the 1st quarter - 4,500 rubles, for the 2nd quarter - 3,600 rubles.

    • Tax amount for 9 months: 420,000 × 6% = 25,200 rubles.

    We can reduce this amount by the amount of contributions paid, which over the past 9 months amounted to 162,000 rubles. Sick leave was not paid. The amount of contributions is greater than the amount of tax, but we can still only reduce the tax by half:

    • Tax amount for 9 months with deduction: 25,200 × 50% = 12,600 rubles

    Now from this amount we must subtract the advance payments of the 1st and 2nd quarters: 12,600 - (4,500 + 3,600) = 4,500 rubles.

    Thus, the organization must pay 4,500 rubles by October 25.

    Calculation of the advance payment for the 3rd quarter on the basis of “income minus expenses”

    The procedure for calculating the advance payment for the taxable base “Income minus expenses” is also similar to the first quarter. But advances paid in the first and second quarters must first be deducted from the tax amount calculated in the third quarter.

    An example of calculating an advance payment for an individual entrepreneur A.V. Petrov for the 3rd quarter

    Tax base “Income minus expenses”, rate 15%

    The income of the individual entrepreneur from January to the end of September amounted to 380,000 rubles. Of these, 120,000 were for the 1st quarter, 110,000 for the 2nd quarter and 150,000 for the 3rd quarter.

    The individual entrepreneur's expenses for 9 months amounted to 125,000 rubles. Of these, 40,000 for the 1st quarter, 45,000 for the 2nd quarter and 40,000 for the 3rd quarter.

    Advance payments in the 1st quarter - 12,000 rubles, in the 2nd quarter - 9,750 rubles.

    Individual entrepreneur Petrov pays insurance premiums for himself in each quarter of 10,200 rubles, he included these amounts in expenses.

    • Tax amount for 9 months: (380,000 – 125,000) × 15% = 38,250 rubles.

    Now we subtract from this amount the advance payments of the 1st and 2nd quarters: 38,250 – (12,000 + 9,750) = 16,500 rubles.

    Thus, the individual entrepreneur must pay 16,500 rubles by October 25.

    Who should keep track of working hours and who should be responsible for it?

    If the organization is small, one person can keep time records.

    If the structure of the enterprise is significant, it is advisable to appoint a responsible person in each division.

    All responsible persons, regardless of their number, are appointed by orders for the main activities in order to avoid various kinds of misunderstandings.

    Responsibility for the completeness and correctness of filling out the timesheet lies with the person authorized by the order.

    The head of the department is responsible for the timely submission of timesheets to the accounting department.

    The employer is responsible for everyone.

    What to do if you are late on your quarterly advance payment

    Sometimes an entrepreneur does not have available funds to pay an advance payment and makes the payment later - closer to the end of the year or together with the payment of tax calculated at the end of the year. This means that the businessman will have to pay a penalty for each day of delay. If the advance had to be transferred before April 25, then the first day for accrual of penalties for non-payment is April 26. The last day for accrual of penalties is the day on which you paid the advance payment.

    Penalties are calculated differently for organizations and individual entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs charge penalties as follows:

    1/300 of the refinancing rate × amount of non-payment × number of days of delay.

    The amount of penalties for organizations depends on the number of days of delay. If the delay is less than 30 days, then the formula is similar to the formula for individual entrepreneurs. But if the delay is more than 30 days, the formula becomes more complicated:

    (1/300 of the refinancing rate × amount of non-payment × 30) + (1/150 of the refinancing rate × amount of non-payment × number of days of delay from 31 days)

    Pay attention to the refinancing rate. Since 2016, it has been equal to the key rate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, and in recent months the Central Bank has often reduced it. In November 2021, the key rate is 4.25%. To avoid making mistakes in your calculations, use our free online penalty calculator.

    An example of calculating penalties for non-payment of an advance payment in the 3rd quarter

    The individual entrepreneur was supposed to pay 12,000 rubles in advance by October 26, but he was able to transfer these funds only on November 10. The delay is 16 days. The key rate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation in November 2020 is 4.25%.

    • 1/300 × 4.25% × 12,000 × 15 = 25.5 rubles.

    Thus, the penalty will be 25.5 rubles. The individual entrepreneur will have to pay this amount along with the advance payment on November 10.

    How to pay overtime during the New Year holidays

    Overtime is considered to be work performed at the initiative of the employer outside the working hours established for the employee. Labor legislation allows such work in certain cases with the written consent of the employee (Part 2 of Article 99 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

    Payment for overtime work on New Year's holidays is made according to the norms of Art. 153 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation - at least double the amount. The payment is not taken into account when determining the duration of overtime work, subject to payment at an increased rate, in accordance with Art. 152 Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

    When calculating overtime hours, work on holidays performed in excess of normal working hours should not be taken into account, since it is already paid in double amount (Section 5 of the Recommendations of the Federal Service for Labor and Employment on compliance with labor laws governing the procedure for providing employees with non-working holidays days, approved by protocol No. 1 of 06/02/2014).

    Single tax according to the simplified tax system for the year (payment for the 4th quarter)

    There is no advance payment under the simplified tax system for the 4th quarter. The fact is that the tax is paid in installments at the end of each reporting period, and 4 quarters of the year are the tax period. Therefore, for the 4th quarter, it is not an advance payment that is paid, but a tax based on the results of the year or all quarters. When calculating it, all advance payments made during the year are taken into account. Tax payment deadlines differ for organizations and entrepreneurs:

    Calculation of the single tax according to the simplified tax system for the year using the “Income” base

    The rules for calculating the single tax according to the simplified tax system are established by Article 346.21 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. The tax is calculated using the formula:

    TAX = Tax base × 6% – Advance payments for the year

    Step 1. Determine income for the period. Let's sum up the income received for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarters on a cumulative basis. This indicator can be found in the first section of the Income and Expense Accounting Book. Organizations and individual entrepreneurs using the simplified tax system take into account revenue from sales as income, as well as non-operating income, which are listed in Art. 249 and 250 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

    Step 2. Determine the amount of insurance premiums . The calculated tax is reduced by the amount of insurance premiums paid for the period.

    • LLCs and individual entrepreneurs with employees can reduce tax by no more than 50%;
    • An individual entrepreneur without employees has the right to reduce tax without restrictions by the amount of insurance premiums that he pays for himself.

    Step 3. Determine the tax base. From the amount of income received for the year, we subtract the amount of insurance premiums paid for the year. If the amount of the tax deduction exceeds 50% of the tax (for organizations and individual entrepreneurs with employees), then the tax is reduced only by half.

    Step 4. Calculate tax according to the simplified tax system . We multiply the resulting tax base by the tax rate and subtract all advance payments transferred to the budget during the year.

    An example of calculating a tax payment for Kopyto LLC for 2020.

    Tax base “Income”, rate 6%

    LLC "Kopyto" works on a simplified basis with the object of taxation "income". The organization has two employees, the salary of each of them is 30,000 rubles. The company's income for the entire year amounted to 580,000 rubles:

    • 1st quarter - 150,000 rubles;
    • 2nd quarter - 120,000 rubles;
    • 3rd quarter - 150,000 rubles;
    • 4th quarter - 160,000 rubles.

    During the year, advance payments were transferred for the 1st quarter - 4,500 rubles, for the 2nd quarter - 3,600 rubles, for the 3rd quarter - 4,500 rubles.

    • Tax amount for the year: 580,000 × 6% = 34,800 rubles

    We may reduce this amount by the amount of fees paid. From the salaries of two employees (30,000 rubles each), insurance premiums are paid monthly in the amount of 30% - 60,000 × 30% = 18,000 rubles per month. Over the past year, the organization transferred insurance premiums in the amount of 18,000 × 12 = 216,000 rubles. Sick leave was not paid.

    We see that the amount of contributions is greater than the amount of tax, but we can still only reduce the tax by half.

    • Tax amount for the year with deduction: 34,800 × 50% = 17,400 rubles

    Now from this amount we must subtract advance payments for three quarters:

    • 17,400 – (4,500 + 3,600 + 4,500) = 4,800 rubles.

    Thus, the organization must pay 4,800 rubles by March 31, 2021.

    Calculation of the single tax according to the simplified tax system for the year using the “Income minus expenses” base

    Step 1. Determine the tax base. We take income and expenses from the Income and Expense Accounting Book. Income is recorded in the first section of KUDIR in column 4. “Simplified” must take into account income in the tax base in accordance with Art. 249 and 250 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. Expenses are indicated in column 5 of the first section of KUDIR. Economically justified and documented costs, which are listed in clause 1 of Art. 346.16 Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

    Unlike the simplified taxation system “Income”, under the “Income minus expenses” system, insurance premiums cannot be deducted. They are immediately included in expenses and reduce the tax base and the tax itself.

    Step 2. Determine the tax amount. The tax is calculated using the formula:

    Tax = (Income - Expenses) × 15%.

    Check the tax rate for your region and type of activity, it may be less than 15%.

    Step 3. Calculate the amount of tax payable for the year. From the calculated tax amount, we subtract advance payments that were made in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd quarters.

    An example of calculating a tax payment for an individual entrepreneur A.V. Petrov. for 2020

    Object of taxation “income minus expenses”, rate 15%

    IP income for 2021 amounted to 470,000 rubles, and expenses amounted to 160,000 rubles. Of them:

    Quarter Income Expenses
    1st quarter 120,000 rubles 40,000 rubles
    2nd quarter 110,000 rubles 45,000 rubles
    3rd quarter 150,000 rubles 40,000 rubles
    4th quarter 90,000 rubles 35,000 rubles

    Petrov pays quarterly insurance premiums for himself of 10,200 rubles, he included these amounts in expenses.

    Advance payments during the year amounted to: 1st quarter - 12,000 rubles, 2nd quarter - 9,750 rubles, 3rd quarter - 16,500 rubles.

    • Tax amount for the year: (470,000 - 160,000) × 15% = 46,500 rubles.

    Now we subtract advance payments for the year from this amount:

    • Tax amount for the year minus advance payments: 46,500 – (12,000 + 9,750 + 16,500) = 8,250 rubles.

    Thus, the individual entrepreneur must pay 8,250 rubles by April 30, 2021.

    Which form of report card to choose

    There is no need to conduct T-12 and T-13 at the same time, just select one of the forms. As a rule, the T-13 report card is used by those who have automated control of employee working hours using electronic access systems to the enterprise, for example, installing turnstiles or electronic locks. Those who fill out the timesheet manually use the T-12 form.

    Another important difference between the forms is that accounting for wage calculations is provided in the T-12 form. And in T-13 they only keep track of working hours, while wages are calculated using other tools, but on the basis of a time sheet.

    So if you work in an accounting program that combines payroll and time tracking, use Form T-12 and fill it out completely. If you keep track of working time and payments separately, you can use either form T-13, or only the first section of form T-12.

    To track working time, it is not necessary to use a unified time sheet. The company has the right to adjust it or develop its own forms, approve them by internal regulations and use them instead of a time sheet. The main thing is to prove record keeping during a labor inspection inspection.

    Calculation of the minimum tax according to the simplified tax system 15%

    It is not always possible to make a business profitable. At the end of the year, expenses may exceed income or differ only slightly. In this case, the tax base will be very tiny or even negative. In this case, the state will not pay you any compensation, but will oblige you to pay a minimum tax. The minimum tax is calculated based on all income received during the tax period at a rate of 1%.

    Therefore, at the end of the year it is necessary to calculate the tax in the standard way and the minimum tax. The amount that turns out to be greater is subject to payment to the budget.

    An example of calculating the minimum tax for Tea House LLC.

    In 2021, income amounted to 180,000 rubles, and expenses amounted to 170,000 rubles.

    • Tax amount for the year = (180,000 - 170,000) × 15% = 1,500 rubles per year.
    • Minimum tax = 180,000 × 1% = 1,800 rubles.

    With a slight difference in income and expenses, the amount of the minimum tax was 300 rubles higher than the amount of tax calculated in the usual way. In this case, Tea House LLC will pay the minimum tax for the year - 1,800 rubles.

    The difference between the minimum tax and the tax you would have paid under the standard rules can be taken into account when calculating your tax for subsequent tax periods.

    Codes for tax reporting periods in 2021

    The amount of tax or advance payment that needs to be transferred to the budget is reflected in the tax return (if reporting is submitted for this tax or “advances”). The forms of the relevant declarations require a mandatory indication of the period for which the tax liability is calculated. In this case, information about the tax or reporting period is not written down in words, but is encoded as a number. This is necessary for machine processing of declarations.

    Tax period codes for VAT

    The following codes are used in the VAT declaration (Appendix No. 3 to the Procedure for filling out the declaration, approved by Order of the Federal Tax Service dated October 29, 2014 No. ММВ-7-3/ [email protected] ):

    Calculation of advance payments and tax for the year at an increased rate

    From January 1, 2021, increased rates began to apply for the simplified tax system. They must be used when basic limits are violated. This happens when:

    • Income since the beginning of the tax period exceeded 150 million rubles, but did not reach 200 million rubles;
    • The average number of employees in the reporting period exceeded 100 people, but remains less than 130 people.

    The increased rate for the simplified tax system “income” is 8%, for the simplified tax system “income minus expenses” - 20%. The size of the increased rates is fixed; they must be applied if the limits are violated, even if there are reduced rates in your region or you are on a tax holiday.

    The increased rate applies to the portion of the tax base that falls on the period from the beginning of the quarter in which the excesses occurred.

    Calculation procedure

    Step 1. Calculate the down payment for the period before exceeding the limits. To do this, determine the advance payment without taking into account deductions by multiplying the tax base by the standard tax rate.

    Step 2 . Calculate the advance payment for the period in which the limits were violated. To do this, take the amount calculated in step 1 and add to it the difference between the tax base for the period with excess and the tax base for previous periods, multiplied by 8%. Use the following formula:

    Advance payment for the period in which the limits were exceeded = Tax base for the reporting period preceding the quarter in which the limits were exceeded × Tax rate + (Tax base for the reporting period in excess - Tax base for the previous reporting period in which the limits were met) × Increased tax rate

    Step 3. If you are calculating the payment for the simplified tax system “income”, additionally reduce the accrued advance payment or additional tax by tax deduction.

    An example of calculating an advance payment at a rate of 8% for the simplified tax system “income”

    LLC "Bashmachok" on the simplified tax system "income" exceeded the income limit for 9 months and was forced to apply an increased rate of 8%. At the end of the 1st quarter, revenue amounted to 50 million rubles, at the end of the half year 100 million rubles, and at the end of 9 months - 152 million rubles. Advance payments for the 1st quarter and half of the year are calculated in the standard manner:

    • Advance payment for the 1st quarter: 50,000,000 × 6% = 3,000,000 rubles.
    • Advance payment for six months: 100,000,000 × 6% – 3,000,000 = 3,000,000 rubles.

    The accrued advance payment for 9 months of 2021 must be calculated at an increased rate.

    • Advance payment for 9 months: (100,000,000 × 6%) + ((152,000,000 - 100,000,000) × 8%) = 10,160,000 rubles.

    The advance payment accrued at the end of 9 months can be reduced by tax deductions (450,000 rubles in insurance premiums for 9 months) and previously paid advance payments.

    • Advance payment for 9 months for additional payment: 10,160,000 - 450,000 - 3,000,000 - 3,000,000 = 3,710,000 rubles.

    Based on the results of 9 months, Bashmachok LLC must pay an additional 3,710,000 rubles to the budget.

    Codes for the reporting period of financial statements in 2020

    In accounting, the reporting period is the period for which the organization must prepare financial statements (clause 4 of PBU 4/99). For annual financial statements, this period is the calendar year - from January 1 to December 31 inclusive. An exception applies to cases of creation, reorganization (except transformation) and liquidation of a legal entity (Clause 1, Article 15 of the Federal Law of December 6, 2011 No. 402-FZ “On Accounting”).

    ATTENTION

    In financial statements, data on periods is not coded, but is indicated by entering the date, month and year.

    The form of the balance sheet (approved by order of the Ministry of Finance dated July 2, 2010 No. 66n) does not provide for coding the reporting period. Specific reporting dates are indicated on the title page and in the table with indicators, rather than period codes. In the same way, that is, without using codes, data on periods is filled out in the form of the Statement of Financial Results.
