With it, you can easily figure out when which reports need to be submitted for each organization, and you will be able to see the status of submitted reports.

In Kontur.Externe you can download, fill out and send electronic sick leave to the Social Insurance Fund. Including quarantine sick leave for persons 65+ years old. Regions with direct payments can also create a register based on electronic sick leave data and send it to the Social Insurance Fund.
Generate documents for paying taxes

Report to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation using the form SZV-TD
Submit the SZV-TD form for employees who experienced personnel events during the reporting period. Before submitting the SZV-TD for the first time, submit an application to the Pension Fund to connect to the electronic document flow of the Pension Fund.
Submitting reports by mail
Another way to submit tax reports is to send them to the inspectorate by mail with a list of the contents.
The reporting date is considered to be the date of its dispatch. It can be established by postmark. The Tax Code considers that a postal item reaches the addressee within 6 days.
What are the advantages of sending by post? You will not interact with tax officials (replaced by communication with postal service employees).
The disadvantages of postal forwarding are that you will not be able to quickly respond to the work of the tax service. You will not be able to immediately understand whether the reporting has been accepted by the tax authority or not. In addition, if you try to cheat and send by mail reports that need to be submitted only electronically, the tax office will refuse to accept the reports. Such reporting will still not be considered submitted, and time will be lost.

Mandatory electronic tax reporting in 2021
In 2021, declarations in electronic form must be submitted by:
- all VAT payers, including those who are tax agents;
- taxpayers whose average number of employees for the previous calendar year exceeds 100 people;
- established organizations (including those formed during reorganization), in which the number of employees is more than 100 people;
- the largest taxpayers, regardless of the average number of employees.
Also, personal income tax reports are sent via TKS if the number of employees in the company is more than 25.
To send all these reporting forms, an electronic signature is required for the Federal Tax Service. The operator helps you arrange it.
Let us recall that the list of the largest taxpayers is compiled annually by the Federal Tax Service on the basis of certain criteria (order of the Ministry of Taxes of Russia No. SAE-3-30 / [email protected] dated April 16, 2004). These criteria are regularly updated by tax authorities. For such enterprises, it is provided not only for submitting reports through the tax website, but also for support from the Federal Tax Service, in particular tax monitoring.

All users who have licensed copies of the program will be united into one group and will be able to exchange documents with each other, which also applies to counterparties.
