How the 4-FSS form has changed
The current 4-FSS calculation form was approved by Order No. 381 of the FSS of the Russian Federation dated September 26, 2016; it must be applied starting with reporting for the 1st quarter of 2021. The main difference from the previously valid form is the absence of sections on contributions for disability and maternity, which is why the new form 4-FSS 2017 has significantly decreased in volume.
Otherwise, today’s 4-FSS calculation looks almost the same as Section II of the old form, dedicated to “traumatic” contributions, and does not contain any special innovations.
The new form of Form 4-FSS for the 1st quarter of 2021 consists of a title page and five tables, of which only tables 1, 2 and 5 are required to be submitted. The title and these sections must be submitted even if the policyholder had no accruals at all during the reporting period on "injury". The remaining tables are filled in when appropriate indicators are available.
Form 4-FSS in 2021
If previously the 4-FSS report was intended for all insurance premiums paid to the Social Insurance Fund, then from the beginning of 2021 it reflects exclusively contributions for “injuries”. For the first quarter and half of 2021 Insurers reported using a modified Form 4-FSS, from which sections relating to insurance premiums in case of temporary disability and maternity were excluded.
Form 4-FSS 2021, the new form of which was approved by Order of the FSS of the Russian Federation dated September 26, 2016 No. 381, was used for reporting for the first quarter and half of the year. For a report for 9 months, it is filled out on a form with amendments made by order of the FSS of the Russian Federation dated 06/07/2017 No. 275.
Deadlines for submitting the new form 4-FSS from 2021
The deadlines for submitting a new calculation for “injuries” remained the same, and depend on the number of employees of the insured (clause 1, article 24 of the law dated July 24, 1998 No. 125-FZ):
- if there are more than 25 employees, then the calculation is submitted electronically, and the deadline for submitting form 4-FSS 2021 is no later than the 25th day of the month, after the reporting quarter;
- if there are fewer employees, then the calculation can be submitted on paper, but in a shorter period of time - on the 20th of the month following the reporting period.
The calculation must be submitted quarterly on an accrual basis. For the 1st quarter of 2021, the electronic form is due on 04/25/2017, and the paper form is due on 04/20/2017.
If the electronic form is not followed when it is necessary, the policyholder faces a fine of 200 rubles. For late submission of Form 4-FSS from 01/01/17, a fine is imposed on only one basis - contributions for “injuries”. For each overdue month, the FSS will collect from 5% to 30% of the amount of contributions excluding benefits paid, but not less than 1000 rubles.
Let us remind you that by April 15, policyholders must confirm their main type of activity by submitting to the Social Insurance Fund a certificate indicating those types of businesses for which income was received in 2021. If this is not done, the Fund will assign the highest class of pro-insurance from all types of activities of the policyholder, which will increase the rate of contributions for “injuries” (Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation dated June 17, 2016 No. 551).
Filling out form 4-FSS for 9 months of 2021
Changes and adjustments
The Social Insurance Fund made changes to the 4-FSS report form by order No. 275 dated 06/07/2017, and the document must be submitted in the new form, starting with reporting for 9 months.
As a result, the report for the third quarter of the FSS will only be accepted in a new form. The deadline for submitting the report remains the same, without changes. The calculation must be submitted quarterly no later than the 20th day if it is provided on paper, and on the 25th day - in electronic form, in the month following the reporting month.
Let's look at the main changes that need to be taken into account when generating a report:
1) in table 2, rows have been added to reflect the successor organization’s data on the transformed organization or separate division;
2) only budget-funded enterprises make the corresponding entry on the title page;
3) in accordance with the new requirements, the 4-FSS report is required to be submitted electronically by accountants of organizations in which the average number of employees for the previous year is more than 25 people;
4) other organizations choose the form of reporting at their own discretion - in paper or electronic form;
5) by order of the Social Insurance Fund dated March 9, 2017 No. 83, an electronic form was approved for calculating contributions for occupational injuries;
6) enterprises that make payments to employed disabled people, as a result of which they use a reduced rate when calculating insurance payments, or companies that pay additional days off to care for disabled children, are required to present supporting documentation (an extract from a medical and social examination institution, a certificate from parents disabled child, VTEK);
7) in addition, the provision of documents confirming the correctness of the calculation for disabled people and disabled children is mandatory, regardless of whether the reporting is provided in paper or electronic form.
OKVED code on the title page
The changes also affected OKVED codes - in the new version, one code is prescribed in the 4-FSS form if there are two. It is necessary to indicate the code of the main direction of business activity, which is confirmed by the policyholder annually. According to the new filling rules, the accountant indicates the code from the OKVED-2017 classifier on the title page.
Required tables
The updated Form 4-FSS includes a title page and 5 sections, however, not all organizations need to complete all sections of the report.
Let's look at the filling rules:
- all enterprises fill out the title page, tables 1, 2 and 5;
- Table 1.1 is filled out by employers who transfer their employees to other companies or private entrepreneurs;
- table 3 is filled out by policyholders who incurred costs for work-related injuries at the expense of the Social Insurance Fund;
- Table 4 is filled out by employers who have had accidents at work.

The sent file is subject to verification for compliance with the requirements for calculation in electronic form. If the answer is positive, the calculation is considered provided.

It is advisable to send the report two or three days before the final submission date in order to correct errors if they occur.

Table 5 is intended for information on the results of a special assessment of working conditions and medical examinations of workers. This reflects the number of jobs subject to assessment, the number of workers in hazardous industries and, accordingly, the number of jobs assessed and the number of workers who underwent medical examinations at the beginning of the year.

What changes to consider when filling out the new form 4-FSS
Not many changes have been made. The “Budget Organization” field appeared on the title page . From its name it is clear that it will be filled out by budgetary organizations, indicating in it the attribute of the policyholder depending on the source of funding:
On the title page of Form 4-FSS, data on the average number of employees will now be entered not as of the reporting date, but for the period from the beginning of the year.
In Table 2 , lines have been added that are filled in by the legal successor organization for the converted policyholder or the organization for a closed separate division:
- if there is still a debt to the Social Insurance Fund, then line 1.1 is filled in;
- if there is still a debt for the Social Insurance Fund, then line 14.1 is filled in.
The values of these lines, of course, affect the debt totals.
Form 4-FSS: due date
The Social Insurance Fund sets an individual tariff for insurance premiums for “injuries” for each organization, depending on the main type of economic activity. The more dangerous the production is for workers, the higher the rate for insurance premiums.
Until social insurance makes a decision on assigning a tariff for contributions in favor of “injury”, the enterprise is obliged to use the tariff at which 4-FSS reports were provided for the year.
The deadline for submitting documents to confirm the OVED in 2021 is April 14. Despite the fact that April 15 is a day off, not all FSS employees agree to postpone the deadline for submitting documents to April 17 (there is no specific legislative act for this case).
Below is a diagram that deciphers the procedure and timing for setting the insurance rate.
