Types of reporting under the simplified taxation system
Depending on the data reflected in the reporting, we can distinguish:
- Declaration with charges.
- Zero declaration.
The difference between these declarations is that zero reporting is submitted if the activity was not actually carried out and (or) there was no tax base under the simplified tax system. In all other cases, reporting with accruals is submitted.
Depending on the type of object selected, the following can be distinguished:
- Declaration according to simplified tax system 6%.
- Declaration according to the simplified tax system 15%.
Despite the fact that declarations are filled out using one form, the type of object (“income” or “income minus expenses”) affects which sheets are filled out.
Individual entrepreneurs and LLCs on the simplified tax system of 6% (income) fill out the Title Page, Sections 1.1 and 2.1.1, as well as Section 2.1.2 if they are payers of the trade tax.
Individual entrepreneurs and LLCs on the simplified tax system of 15% (income minus expenses) fill out the Title Page, Sections 1.2 and 2.2, respectively.
Section 3 is filled out at any facility (6% or 15%) if the simplification received targeted financing funds, targeted revenues and other funds referred to in clauses 1 and 2 of Art. 251 Tax Code of the Russian Federation.
Declaration form 2021
The Tax Service accepts tax returns under the simplified tax system in 2021 in the same form as in 2021. Nothing new has appeared and nothing old has changed: no forms, no deadlines, no forms. For LLCs and individual entrepreneurs, everything is submitted to the simplified tax system absolutely unchanged within the same time frame.
But the simplification still creates some features that make the simplified tax system declaration for individual entrepreneurs individual, depending on some factors, such as, for example, the presence of employees in the organization. For individual entrepreneurs using the simplified tax system without employees, there is a great opportunity to reduce the tax rate from 6% down to zero. This may be due to proper payments and compliance with the quarterly payment scheme.
It is also important to mention that in some special cases additional information is included in the declaration - closure of an individual entrepreneur, as an example. Indeed, the declaration under the simplified tax system when closing an individual entrepreneur must contain relevant information about the termination of the operation of the enterprise. Also, with any changes and reorganizations in the company, this must also be included in the declaration, as reference information for the Federal Tax Service. In this case, the submitted reports will be checked and, if such data is found in it, everything will be entered into the register.
Submitting a declaration under the simplified tax system in 2021, in addition to including all the same amendments and forms as before, has the same numbers for any system, even a simplified one. The filing deadlines, as before, remain the same for entrepreneurs on the simplified tax system of 6 percent and 15 percent - until March 31 of the year following the reporting year. According to tax laws, everything must be submitted on time, otherwise the entrepreneur will be held liable in the form of an administrative fine. Therefore, it is worth making sure in advance and preparing everything for the deadline.
Declaration form 2021
In 2021, reporting under the simplified tax system has not changed and is still submitted in the form approved by Order of the Federal Tax Service of Russia dated February 26, 2016 N ММВ-7-3/ [email protected]
tax return for tax paid in connection with the application of the simplified taxation system.
Note: to understand that you have an up-to-date reporting form, you need to pay attention to the last 4 digits of the barcode. When changing the declaration form, the value of the barcode changes. The current tax return for 2021 has the last 4 digits of the code: 2017
Reporting period for filing a tax return under the simplified tax system
The main reporting form in “simplified” form is a declaration on the tax paid under the simplified tax system (form approved by Order of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation dated February 26, 2016 No. ММВ-7-3/99).
The tax period under the simplified tax system is equal to a calendar year (Article 346.19 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). The declaration is submitted to the Federal Tax Service once a year, and the deadlines for its submission are different for legal entities and entrepreneurs: March 31 and April 30 of the next year, respectively (Article 346.23 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).
The reporting period of the simplified tax system is a quarter, half a year, 9 months. There is no need to submit reports for these periods to the simplified tax system.
Thus, you need to submit your “simplified” tax return for 2017 within the following deadlines:
- no later than 04/02/2018 for organizations (since March 31 is a day off - Saturday),
- no later than 05/03/2018 for entrepreneurs (the deadline was postponed due to the “long” weekend - the May holidays).
General requirements for filling out reports
- All cost indicators are indicated in full rubles.
Values over 50 kopecks are rounded to the nearest ruble, and values below are discarded.
- The pages of the declaration are numbered in a special order.
The page number is displayed in a three-digit format, for example, for the first page the value is “001”, for the tenth - “010”.
- All information in the declaration is entered from left to right.
But, if the document is filled out on a computer, the numerical indicators (tax amount, income, expenses, insurance premiums) are aligned to the right.
- Text indicators (full name of individual entrepreneur, name of organization) are indicated in capital block letters.
This rule applies to both filling out the declaration by hand and using a computer.
- When entering information manually, blue, purple or black pens are used.
If reporting is generated using software, then you must use the font - CourierNew 16 - 18.
- In empty cells and lines, dashes are placed.
If any of the fields is left blank or incompletely filled, dashes (when filling in on a computer) or one solid line (when filling in manually) are placed in the empty cells.
- The use of corrective agents is not permitted.
If an error is made, the declaration must be filled out again; the legislator does not allow the use of putties, erasers and other corrective means.
- Double-sided printing, as well as binding of document sheets, leading to damage to the barcode, is not allowed.
Each sheet of page is printed on one side, and is stapled at the end with either a stapler (outside the barcode) or a paper clip.

Deadlines for submitting reports according to the simplified tax system
Conventionally, there are four deadlines for filing a declaration under the simplified taxation system:
- General. The usual deadline for submitting reports is established for those cases when the declaration is submitted based on the results of the past year.
- When closing an individual enterprise. For those simplifiers who decided to deregister as individual entrepreneurs, the law sets a separate deadline for submitting reports. It is tied to the date of entering information into the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs about the termination of activities as an individual entrepreneur.
- Upon termination of activities on the simplified tax system. For individual entrepreneurs who have completed their activities under the simplified tax system, the deadline for submitting the declaration is tied to the notification informing them of the end of their activities under the simplified tax system. More precisely, by the date specified in this document.
- In case of loss of the right to use the simplified tax system. A separate deadline for submitting reports is also established for individual entrepreneurs who have lost the right to use the simplified tax system. It is tied to the quarter in which the entrepreneur ceased to meet the requirements of the simplified regime and lost the right to apply this regime.
As we can see, the deadline for submitting a declaration under the simplified tax system depends on the basis on which it is submitted. Let's take a closer look at each of the above cases.
