Purpose of shares and actions performed with them
JSC issues this security. Their value at face value, circulation, and the amount of the authorized capital (AC) are determined by the first meeting of participants.

Step-by-step accounting instructions
Step 1. Primary issue. Shares are issued upon opening a joint-stock company in order to form the authorized capital and pay for it. Analytical accounting is carried out according to the stages of its creation. To do this, open subaccounts to the account. 80:
- 1 - declared Criminal Code;
- 2 - subscription;
- 3 - paid.
The relevant accounting entries are presented in the table.

19 | 75.1 | VAT allocated (from taxable property contributed to the contribution to the management company) |
68 | 19 | VAT is deductible |
Step 2. Accounting for shares on the balance sheet. Shares are strict reporting forms (SSR) and are reflected in the off-balance sheet account of the same name. 006. This is due to the fact that their production and placement occurs over a period of time.
When paying for printing services, make a note:
Dt 20 Kt 60 and Dt 60 Kt 51 - the costs of producing shares are reflected;
Dt 006 - the nominal value of the forms is taken into account.
Step 3. Placement of shares.
The actual disposal of BSO is reflected as follows:
Kt 006 and Dt 80.2 Kt 80.1 - the value of the shares is written off at par.
BSO can be placed at a cost higher than the nominal value. The difference is made according to the following wiring:
Dt 75.1 Kt 83 - the difference in prices is taken into account.
Step 4. Increasing the authorized capital. If the initial capital is paid, participants may decide to increase it. It is formatted like this:
Dt 83, 84 Kt 80 - authorized capital increased due to additional or retained earnings;
Dt 75 Kt 80 - the amount by which the capital will increase at the expense of the funds of the JSC participants is taken into account.
Step 5. Reducing the capital. This procedure is necessary if part of the primary issue securities is not paid for or is not sold within a year, or within two years, according to reporting data, the size of the capital exceeds the amount of net assets (the difference between the value of property and the organization’s liabilities).
Possible transactions to reduce the capital are presented in the table.

Step 6. Distribution of dividends. JSC participants have the right to receive income from shares for a certain period. Postings for accrual of dividends differ depending on whether the JSC employee receives them or not:
Dt 84 Kt 70 - for employees;
Dt 84 Kt 75 - for other persons.
Dividend amounts are reduced by the amount of taxes:
Dt 70 Kt 68 - personal income tax of employees;
Dt 75 Kt 68 - personal income tax for individuals and income tax for organizations.
What else is dangerous about currency revaluation?
The simplest example.
The currency value of foreign shares has decreased. But at the same time, the dollar exchange rate has increased.
And what might happen? You made a loss in dollars. But you have earned a profit in rubles, on which you must pay taxes.
Example.
- We buy shares for 1,010 (at an exchange rate of 55 rubles per dollar).
- We sell for 1,009 (at an exchange rate of 65 rubles per dollar).
- Sales income is negative -$1.
- Income from currency revaluation is positive +10,035 rubles.
Total: income tax - +1,304 rubles (13% of 10,035).
To be fair, it is worth noting that the opposite situation is also true.
If the value of a foreign currency asset increases and the dollar exchange rate simultaneously falls, due to currency revaluation, you can completely avoid taxation.
The currency revaluation rule applies to all securities except Eurobonds of the Ministry of Finance.
From 01/01/2019 Income in the form of exchange rate differences is exempt from personal income tax upon the sale (redemption) of Eurobonds of the Ministry of Finance denominated in foreign currency.
In simple terms. Ruble profit (and tax on it) will be recalculated at the Central Bank exchange rate on the day of sale (redemption) of the securities. Regardless of the dollar exchange rate on the day of purchase.
I bought a Eurobond for $1,000 and sold it for $1,001. Profit = $1. We convert at the current rate (on the day of sale) into rubles. All.
The second unpleasant moment is the so-called tax on the weakening of the ruble
If the national currency weakens (and statistically, the dollar always strengthens against the ruble over long periods), the investor will be forced to pay higher income taxes. We get a kind of tax on inflation or depreciation of the ruble. The more the ruble weakens, the “more” your profit will be. And the more taxes you will have to pay in the end.
I recommend: Air tax or how inflation affects investor profits
Over the past 20 years, ruble inflation has been about 7%. For the dollar - about 2%. The difference is 5%. It turns out that every year the investor will be subject to an additional tax of 0.65%. It doesn't seem like much. But in some cases this will be a very serious loss.
A striking example is the purchase of foreign assets for a long term (for example, independent savings for retirement). On average, with this scheme, after 20 years, due to currency revaluation, the investor will lose an additional 15% of profit in the form of taxes. In addition to the standard tax of 13%.
If in money. If you invest $100,000 for 20 years, additional losses from currency revaluation will amount to 8,300 bucks.
What is the result?
It turns out that due to currency revaluation, the investor is almost always forced to pay double tax:
- To increase the value of assets.
- On the growth of foreign currency exchange rates.
Accounting for stock purchases
A company may purchase shares of another firm through an allotment of shares in an initial public offering or through a purchase and sale document. This must be reported to the tax office within one month from the date of purchase. An exception is equity participation in LLCs, business partnerships, with a share of less than 10%.
Purchased shares are accounted for as financial investments. The accounting procedure is fixed in PBU 19/02.
Analytics is carried out individually or in homogeneous batches. The analytics must reflect the following data: name of the issuer, details of the share, nominal and purchase price, acquisition costs, number of securities (securities), transaction date, storage procedure, etc.
Investments in securities are recorded at their initial cost. It includes expenses:
- To purchase;
- For information services and consultations;
- Encouraging intermediaries;
- Others caused by the acquisition;
- VAT on costs.
The costs of purchasing shares can be included in other expenses if their value differs slightly from the price of the securities. Costs are recognized as other in the same reporting period in which the shares are accounted for. The initial cost does not include general business expenses, credit funds and interest on them.
Example. Purchase of shares from OJSC
Parus LLC bought 15 shares from Mayak OJSC through an intermediary, Matros LLC. The remuneration for services amounted to 2832 rubles, including VAT - 432 rubles. The price of one paper is 5,500 rubles. The costs of purchasing Parus shares will be taken into account as other expenses, since they are immaterial. The significance criterion is fixed in the accounting policy in the amount of 5% of the value of securities.
To account for settlements with Matros LLC, the accountant of Parus LLC opened an account. 76 subaccount 5 “Settlements with intermediaries.” He reflected the purchase of shares as follows:
Dt 58.1 Kt 76.5 82500 rub. (5500 * 15) - shares purchased;
2832 / (5500 * 15) * 100% = 3.4% - intermediary costs are insignificant;
Dt 91.2 Kt 76.5 2832 rub. — purchase costs are written off as other costs;
Dt 76.5 Kt 51 85332 rub. (82500 + 2832) - money is transferred to the intermediary.
The purchased shares are stored at the enterprise's cash desk or in a special storage facility (depositary). Its functions include the safety of BSO and their accounting. He receives a certain percentage and resells the securities on behalf of the owner.
How to reflect shares in accounting
Increasing the authorized capital of a joint stock company is possible in two ways: increasing the par value of shares or placing additional shares (Clause 1, Article 28 of the Law on Joint Stock Companies). Moreover, in accordance with paragraph 1 of Article 39 of this Law, the placement of additional shares can be carried out in one of three ways :
— subscription (open or closed);
— conversion;
— distribution among shareholders.
Let us consider the content of corporate events carried out during an additional issue of shares placed by private subscription, and in the case where the additional issue of shares is not accompanied by state registration of a securities prospectus.
Registration of a prospectus for the issue of securities is required if shares are placed by public subscription or by private subscription among a circle of persons whose number exceeds 500. In this case, more stringent requirements for disclosure of information are provided in order to ensure that possible investors in the securities market receive the necessary information.
Payment for shares of an additional issue can be made either in cash or in various property (under an exchange agreement), which must be preliminarily assessed by an independent appraiser. The article will discuss the first option for paying for shares.
The process of additional issue of shares includes 5 stages:
1. Making a decision on the placement of equity securities;
2. Approval of the decision on additional issue of equity securities;
3. State registration of an additional issue of equity securities;
4. Placement of issue-grade securities;
5. State registration of the report on the results of the additional issue of equity securities.
Each stage includes corporate activities that must be carried out consistently and in compliance with established deadlines.
1. Making a decision on the placement of equity securities
At this stage, a meeting of the Board of Directors is held, which determines the cost of one share, and the General Meeting of Shareholders, which decides to increase the authorized capital by issuing additional shares of the company.
If the company's charter does not contain provisions on authorized shares (that is, it does not provide for the possibility of an additional issue), it is necessary that at this stage the shareholders decide to make appropriate changes to the charter (on the number of authorized shares and the rights of shareholders provided by these shares after their placement) (clause 3 of article 28 of the Law on Joint Stock Companies). If such a decision was made at the General Meeting of Shareholders, the Joint Stock Company is obliged to register these changes with the Federal Tax Service.
2. Approval of the decision on additional issue of securities
The Board of Directors approves the decision on additional issue of shares. If the organization does not have a Board of Directors, the decision is approved by the management body performing the functions of the Board of Directors. Typically this body is the general meeting of shareholders. Documents for state registration of an additional issue of securities must be submitted no later than three months from the date of approval of the decision on their issue.
3. State registration of an additional issue of equity securities
According to Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated July 25, 2013 N 645, the Federal Financial Markets Service of Russia was abolished. Its functions have been transferred to the Bank of Russia.
Thus, the Bank of Russia Service for Financial Markets carries out the functions of the abolished FSFM of Russia, including registering additional issues of shares.
For state registration of an additional issue of securities, the documents provided for by the Standards for the Issue of Securities (approved by the Bank of Russia on August 11, 2014 N 428-P) (hereinafter referred to as the Standards) are submitted to the registering authority.
