Insurance premiums are mandatory payments for all organizational and legal forms of organizations that use hired labor. If an individual entrepreneur does not have employees, expenses for health insurance and the pension fund for themselves are taken into account. How to pay insurance premiums? Funds can be transferred to bank branches in cash or by non-cash methods. Let us tell you in more detail how insurance premiums are paid for an individual entrepreneur.

What do insurance premiums go to?

Article 8 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation forms the concept of insurance premiums as mandatory contributions to the funds:

• Pension for the insurance part of the pension and compulsory health insurance;
• to the Social Insurance Fund for the formation of payments for insurance cases (accidents, occupational diseases and injuries at work) and benefits (maternity, child care, sick leave, funerals). Funds are collected from individuals and legal entities to exercise the rights of insured citizens to state-guaranteed financial support for the specified type of social insurance.

Article 1 of Federal Law No. 165-FZ of July 16, 1999 defines a list of problems for which state social support is provided to working citizens, which includes: accidents and injuries at work, disability, loss of a breadwinner, occupational disease, pregnancy and childbirth, childbirth or children, child care once the child reaches the age of 1.5 years. The legislation also establishes other insurance events that are subject to compensation by social insurance.

In world practice, the history of the emergence of insurance premiums is new. It was based on factors (labor relations, economic development) under which hired workers needed social support and protection of rights. Bismarck's code of imperial laws, published in the 19th century, is one of the sources that contains the first mentions of social insurance measures.

The formation of the insurance system in Russia began after the abolition of serfdom. The creation of a law on the “mandatory establishment of auxiliary partnerships at state-owned mining plants” dates back to this time.

The pension fund, designed to regulate the provision of unemployed citizens and the functioning of the mechanisms of the market economy, was adopted on December 22, 1990. Before its appearance, contributions to the treasury were made at the expense of the wage fund of enterprises.

A little later, on January 1, 1991, the FSS (Social Insurance Fund) was formed, which ensures the regulation of social insurance relations for the population.

The Health Insurance Fund, which finances services in medical institutions, was created on February 24, 1993.

Insurance premiums are regulated by:

• Chapter 34 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation;
• Federal Law No. 125-FZ of July 24, 1998 “On compulsory social insurance against industrial accidents and occupational diseases”;
• Federal Law No. 255-FZ dated December 29, 2006 “On compulsory social insurance in case of temporary disability and in connection with maternity”;
• Federal Law No. 165-FZ of July 16, 1999 “On the fundamentals of compulsory social insurance”;
• Federal Law No. 326-FZ dated November 29, 2010 “On compulsory health insurance in the Russian Federation”;
• Federal Law No. 167-FZ dated December 15, 2001 “On compulsory pension insurance in the Russian Federation.”

Who is required to pay insurance premiums

The policyholder who transfers wages and other payments in favor of the insured persons is obliged to pay insurance premiums (Clause 1 of Article 419 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

The employer must use the organization's funds to make payments to the funds, and not deduct them from the wages of employees.

The policyholders are:

• individual entrepreneurs;
• organizations;
• individuals who are not registered as individual entrepreneurs.

If an individual entrepreneur has registered employees, contributions are paid at the rates accepted for all policyholders.

A special feature of payments to funds (clause 2 of Article 419 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation) for an individual entrepreneur is the obligation to make contributions for himself.

Types of insurance premiums

Article 8 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation establishes the following types of contributions:

• for compulsory health insurance (CHI);
• for compulsory pension insurance (OPI);
• for insurance of accidents and occupational diseases (AS and PP);
• for compulsory social insurance in case of temporary disability and maternity (VNiM).

Contributions are calculated from the wage fund and other payments in favor of employees, to which Article 420 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation includes:

• amounts of vacation payments;
• compensation upon dismissal;
• bonus payments;
• financial assistance per employee exceeding 4 thousand rubles per year.

The following amounts are not subject to insurance premiums:

• financial assistance in the amount of 4 thousand rubles per year per employee;
• a lump sum payment in the event of an emergency, natural disaster, birth of a child, or death of a family member. It will be necessary to issue an order for the provision of financial assistance; documents confirming the event will be attached so that contributions will not be charged during the inspection;
• benefits assigned by the state: for pregnancy and childbirth, registration with an antenatal clinic in the early stages, temporary disability, unemployment;
• severance pay not exceeding three times the average monthly salary;
• under labor or civil law contracts for citizens who are not recognized as insured on the territory of the Russian Federation by law: foreigners, stateless, temporarily staying;
• for the performance of work and provision of services under a civil law contract. Payments are not taxed with contributions to OSS and injuries. But insurance premiums for compulsory medical insurance and compulsory medical insurance will have to be calculated and paid.

Reporting of Injury Contributions

Since we must pay contributions for injuries, therefore, we must and account for them. We report on contributions for injuries quarterly in Form 4-FSS, approved in Appendix No. 1 to Order No. 381 of the Federal Social Insurance Fund of the Russian Federation dated September 26, 2016 (as amended by Order No. 275 of June 7, 2017).

Form 4-FSS for contributions for injuries to Social Insurance must be submitted within certain deadlines, which depend on the format in which the 4-FSS report is provided:

• 4-FSS must be submitted electronically no later than the 25th day of the month following the reporting quarter;
• on paper, the deadline for submitting 4-FSS is five days earlier than the electronic version - until the 20th day of the month following the reporting quarter.

How to calculate insurance premiums

Each type of insurance premium has its own base and rate. The base includes the amounts of accrued remuneration and payments for the billing period (year) on an accrual basis for each individual (Article 421 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

The table shows the rates and maximum base in 2021 for all types of premiums.

The example below shows how to calculate insurance premiums.

The organization LLC "Kreker" carries out activities - the production of bakery products, keeps records according to the OSNO (general taxation system), and transfers salaries to employees. We will calculate the company's deductions for insurance premiums in December.

In option 1, it is assumed that the base for accruals is within the established limits and one of the salaries was 25,000 rubles.

OPS = 25,000 rub. * 22% = 5500 rub.

Compulsory medical insurance = 25,000 rubles. * 5.1% = 1275 rub.

VNiM = 25,000 rub. * 2.9% = 725 rub.

Injuries = 25,000 rubles. * 0.2% = 50 rub.

The coefficient for calculating contributions from NS and PP (injuries) for each organization is set separately and depends on the type of work or services performed (the more dangerous the activity, the higher it is), the value of 0.2% is taken as an example.

When an organization registers with the Social Insurance Fund, it receives a statistical statement indicating the percentage of contributions to the fund, or a notification about the rate of insurance premiums for compulsory insurance is sent by mail. Every year, the Social Insurance Fund requires you to declare the main type of activity of the organization in order to change the contribution rate. If an enterprise carries out several areas of work or services at once, a tariff is set for the most dangerous type of work.

In the 2nd option, it is assumed that the size of the base will exceed the established limit for the pension fund and VNIM insurance. The established salary amount is 250,000 rubles. The rate on pension contributions will be 10%, the calculation of contributions for temporary disability and maternity is not carried out, and accordingly, nothing is paid.

OPS = 250,000 rub. * 10% = 25,000 rub.

Compulsory medical insurance = 250,000 rub. * 5.1% = 12,750 rub.

Injuries = 250,000 rub.* 0.2% = 500 rub.

What changed

In 2017, the administration of insurance premiums from wages was transferred to the Federal Tax Service. This means that tax authorities:

• control the timeliness and completeness of insurance transfers;
• accept and verify reports on insurance premiums for employees in 2021;
• collect arrears and penalties, issue fines.

Payment of contributions in 2021 goes to the territorial offices of the Federal Tax Service. Read more in the article about who should now pay insurance premiums.

The Pension Fund and the Social Insurance Fund have the right to check past periods (until December 31, 2016), but last year’s debt on insurance contributions to the Pension Fund in 2021 does not need to be transferred. We pay debts using the new KBK.

Where to pay insurance premiums

Contributions from NS and PP are transferred to the FSS (Social Insurance Fund). Deductions for compulsory insurance (medical and pension) are administered by the tax authority (IFTS), to which the organization belongs on a territorial basis.

The presence of an organization with a separate branch located in another region requires payment of contributions at the location of the main unit. If a subsidiary has the authority to pay contributions, it pays them at its location. Insurance deductions are determined by the size of the calculation base of a particular branch.

Payments for each type of contribution are not transferred in one payment order, only in separate ones. Firstly, because contributions go to different authorities, and secondly, according to their own BCC (each contribution corresponds to a specific BCC).

How are insurance premium payments verified?

Correct calculation and compliance with the transfer deadline for payment of insurance premiums is carried out by government bodies during inspections (office or on-site). The transfer of control over these funds from the Pension Fund to the tax inspectorates occurred in 2021. The exception is contributions for injuries; they are administered by the Social Insurance Fund.

Also, the Social Insurance Fund retains powers for the following activities:

• conducting a desk audit for compensation of social insurance funds at the request of the policyholder;
• joint conduct of an on-site audit with the tax office;
• consideration of incoming complaints based on inspection reports.

Tax authorities that monitor the timely and correct transfer of insurance premiums use tools such as:

• joint on-site inspection with the Social Insurance Fund;
• desk audit of calculations of insurance premiums - information is provided using quarterly reporting;
• reconciliation of the amounts of insurance premiums - accrued and paid.

Documents for monitoring insurance premiums that inspection authorities may require are given below.

The company Avtoshina LLC conducts a wholesale trade in tires, the taxation system is general, and received a decision to conduct an on-site inspection. Its purpose is to establish the correctness and timeliness of the transfer of mandatory contributions and determine whether the insurance payments made by the policyholder for 2014–2017 are legal.

The inspection was accompanied by the provision of documents:

• contracts (labor, civil law);
• employment orders;
• work records;
• personal cards of employees;
• time sheets;
• payroll, settlement and pay slips for salary transfers;
• certificates of incapacity for work;
• orders and applications for maternity leave, calculation of the amount of benefits;
• documents confirming payment of monthly maternity benefits (copy of birth certificate, application for leave, order, calculation of the amount of benefits, certificate from the father’s place of work stating that he does not receive benefits);
• orders for financial assistance and documents confirming the basis for its payment.

Also, the tax office and the Social Insurance Fund may request other documents related to the audit being carried out. On the day the inspectors completed their work, a certificate of the inspection was signed.

What changed in 2018-2019:

• The deadline for paying the 1% contribution has been changed.
• in 2021, the minimum wage does not regulate the fixed share of insurance premiums.

In 2021, the amount of payments has increased. Since January 2021, the tax office is responsible for the administration of contributions and control; calculations and amounts of insurance contributions are sent to it. In this regard, it is important to note changes in budget classification codes (BCC) when transferring the fixed part to OPS and OMS.

Where to send insurance premiums in 2018

Starting from 2021, the administration of insurance premiums has been transferred to the Federal Tax Service, and therefore this kind of transfers should be sent there. This point concerns contributions to pension, health and social insurance, except for contributions for injuries, which, as before, must be transferred to the Social Insurance Fund.

Important! According to paragraph 11 of Art. 431 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, insurance premiums must be sent to the location of either the company’s head office or its separate division.

Companies of all legal forms, as well as individual entrepreneurs, must pay the appropriate contributions to the Federal Tax Service at the place of registration for themselves and their employees. The procedure for transferring contributions also does not depend on the taxation used by business entities. In addition, if an individual entrepreneur decides to pay voluntary social contributions for himself, they must be transferred to the Social Insurance Fund, as stated in clause 5 of Art. 4.5 of the Federal Law “On Compulsory Social Insurance...” dated December 29, 2006 No. 255-FZ.

The amount of insurance premiums for individual entrepreneurs in 2018-2019

Fixed deduction amount, calculated from the minimum wage.
The obligation to pay contributions for pensions and health insurance does not depend on the type of taxation and the number of employees of the individual entrepreneur. The deductions are:

Attention! Contributions for a period not fully worked are calculated in proportion to the time worked.

• 1% on excess income.

The calculation itself has not changed - payment of 1% occurs when income for the period exceeds 300,000 rubles. The deductions are equal to:

(Income – 300,000 rub.) * 1%.

Attention! It is necessary to take into account that payments at a fixed tariff are summed up when combining taxation regimes, after which insurance premiums are calculated.

Features taken into account at the 1% deduction rate:

• Payers of UTII take for calculations the amount of imputed income, and not the actual profit received.
• On the simplified tax system for “income minus expenses”, the base on which 1% is charged is only income (excluding expenses).
• On the simplified tax system with a rate of 6%, contributions are calculated based on the amount of actual revenue.
• Under the general taxation system, the base is considered to be the difference between income and expenses.
• Patent activity involves using the maximum profit in calculations, which is used to determine patent payments.

Due dates for payment of contributions in 2021

Until when can insurance premiums be paid? The Tax Code of the Russian Federation establishes the following deadlines:

• For a rate of 1% - payment before July 1 of the following reporting year.
• Contributions calculated from the minimum wage are transferred to the budget until December 31 of the current year.

Attention! When do you need to pay insurance premiums? Previously, the deadline for paying the 1% rate was considered April 1; in 2021, the deadline was moved to July 1.

Many entrepreneurs are concerned about paying contributions quarterly - whether they should be transferred or not, as well as liability for non-payment. There is no obligation for individual entrepreneurs to pay contributions quarterly, the main thing is payment within the specified time frame.

Therefore, some entrepreneurs pay the entire amount at the beginning of the year, while others wait until the last date. There are features of calculations and transfers of contributions that arose when using special taxation regimes.

Features of calculating insurance premiums under certain tax regimes are:

• For the simplified tax system, the reporting period is set to one year. Consequently, entrepreneurs can pay insurance premiums in full in the amount of fixed payments, and then take them into account as an advance payment.
• For UTII, the reporting period is a quarter. Therefore, contributions should be paid quarterly, calculating the tax using the cash method. For example, the amount of contributions transferred in the 1st quarter reduces the tax reported on UTII in the corresponding period.

Important! Payments made in different quarters cannot reduce the UTII tax in the reporting period. That is, you can reduce UTII, for example, for the second quarter only by the amount of contributions transferred specifically from April to June. It is possible (in the absence of staff) to reduce the tax by 100% if you calculate insurance premiums based on the amount of UTII.

Transfer of insurance premiums in 2021: with or without kopecks

Any innovations provoke a large number of questions from accounting workers. Thus, the debate over how to round up insurance premiums in 2021 continues to this day.

To eliminate errors in calculations and prevent penalties from regulatory authorities, we will determine the answer to the pressing question: how to pay insurance premiums: with or without pennies in 2021.

So, based on Art. 431 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, we can affirmatively state that disputes about how insurance premiums are paid (with or without kopecks in 2020) are absolutely groundless. Paragraph 5 of this article gives a comprehensive answer: we pay in rubles if the amount is “round”, and in rubles and kopecks if the amount is a fraction.

Consequently, the payment of insurance premiums (with or without kopecks in 2020) depends on the specific value of the payment. To make it clearer, let's look at a specific example.
