The contractor does not transfer documentation on the project. What to do with payment

Which is correct: “non-provision” or “non-provision”

Verbal nouns have two spelling options with the particle “not”. In speech, as a rule, there are more variants of continuous spelling.

The noun “providing” is written together with the negative particle “not” according to the established rule:

if there is no opposition in the sentence, “not” is written together with the noun.

In this case, the particle turns into a prefix.

The noun “providing” with a negative particle or prefix “not” is used mainly in the official business style of speech.

Rule for separate writing

If there is a opposition, an objection, it seems possible to insert some word after the prefix

(“not provided” = “was not provided”), then the term is written separately.

The particle “not” is written separately with all verbs and short participles:

“You did not provide a certificate” - “The certificate was not provided by you.”

“They did not recognize the state” - “The state is not recognized by them.”

“He did not present a certificate” - “They did not present a certificate.”

“The goods were not delivered on time” - “The goods were not delivered on time.”

non-provision or failure to provide

In Russian there are both spellings, the application depends on the context.

Example sentences

For clarity, consider a few examples:

The tax office has requested documents: is it possible to ignore the request?

Those who periodically have to respond to requests from tax authorities to provide documents about their counterparty know how voluminous information they sometimes request and how difficult it is to comply with instructions in an extremely short time frame, limited to 5 days.
IMPORTANT! If you received a request to provide documents on the counter during the period from March 1 to May 31, 2021, the deadline for their submission has been extended by 20 working days (letter of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated April 15, 2020 No. 03-02-08/29938).

ConsultantPlus experts have prepared a ready-made solution with explanations of which inspections have been suspended and when they will be resumed.

However, no matter how voluminous the request, the demands of the inspectors cannot be ignored. For failure to fulfill this obligation, the offender, as indicated in the requirements, faces liability in the form of a fine. Under what article and for what can a negligent taxpayer be fined during counter audits? The questions are very difficult. Let's figure it out.

Example sentences

Examples of using separate writing with opposition:

From the above examples it is clear that the meaning of a noun with the particle “not” means the ability to give something to someone. However, due to certain circumstances this does not happen.

Right

Failure to provide - the continuous spelling of a noun with the negative particle “not” is regulated by the rule: nouns with the particle “not” are written together. In this case, nouns take on the opposite meaning. They can be replaced with a synonym: non-provision - concealment. Failure to submit certificates on time may delay the payment of benefits. Failure to submit a declaration may result in administrative penalties. Vera complained about the failure to provide vacation according to the approved schedule.

Not provision - separate writing is possible if there is a contrast (not provision, but withdrawal). It was not the provision, but the forced seizure of documents that resulted in penalties. Failure to submit a declaration, but reporting false data may result in a fine.
