Reporting

Simplified tax system

Small and medium-sized businesses have one important advantage - a simplified tax system (STS). An entrepreneur pays only one tax in accordance with the established tariff and the norms of documents that are transferred to state bodies. This includes various payments, including payments to the state budget.

The tax rate for reporting for the 1st quarter of 2020 (STS), as in other periods, is significantly lower, especially when compared with other schemes. For example, income tax can range from 1 to 6%. Enterprises submit a report on the simplified tax system at the place of registration (if it is an LLC), individual entrepreneurs send documents at the place of residence. Dates are set as follows:

SP until 30.04.
LLC until March 31.
Liquidated enterprises before the 25th day of the next month.
If the organization is deprived of the right to “simplification”, reporting for the 1st quarter of 2020 is submitted before 01.25, subject to transfer to another taxation in the 4th quarter of the previous year.

Declarations submitted to the tax inspectorate are used to reconcile the amounts spent on taxes and other payments. If there is an error in the calculations, the LLC or the individual entrepreneur must pay the missing amount. If the check reveals an overpayment, the difference in the amount will be credited in the form of an advance for the next period.

Fines

If a business entity violates the reporting deadlines in the 1st quarter of 2020, then it is punished by a fine of 5% of the amount of the payment or tax, the payment of which was overdue. Penalties are imposed for each overdue month, even if the actual period has not exceeded a couple of days. The minimum fine is 1,000 rubles, the maximum established by law, 30% of the total debt.

Fines are not the only punishment; ignoring the deadlines can provoke a blocking of the enterprise’s current account. Similar measures can be used with respect to taxpayers who have thwarted the deadline for submitting a report by 10 or more business days. Less commonly used are personal penalties for officials and entrepreneurs. In such cases, the IFTS issues a warning or imposes a fine of up to 500 rubles after an appropriate positive court decision.
