Once the final decision has been made that the near future will be associated with entrepreneurship, and the organizational and legal form of your business has been chosen, you need to have an idea of the existing tax regimes in order to make the right choice for yourself. Today, reporting for an LLC is very a pressing issue for Russian businessmen, because it is this organizational and legal form that occupies a leading position among other forms of business activity.
Reporting for an LLC is quite large. The list of documents and deadlines for their submission depend on many external factors. It is mainly the form of taxation that the LLC uses, as well as the size of the enterprise, that determines the payments and reporting of the LLC.
The choice of taxation system must be decided before the enterprise is registered, since Article 346.3 of the Tax Code of our country determines that the opportunity to re-select a taxation regime will appear only after a year. The time frame for making a decision is very tight, and you need to remember that only an LLC created for the transition to the simplified tax system has only five working days from the time it is registered for tax purposes.
Based on this, it is advisable to submit an application for application of the simplified tax system (STS) regime along with a package of documents for registration. If such an application is not submitted, then it is considered that the entrepreneur has chosen the ordinary taxation system (OSNO).
At the very beginning, an entrepreneur needs to make sure that he has the right to choose. After all, it is possible that the planned activity of an LLC falls under a special regime (UTII). In this case, there is a direct obligation to apply this particular taxation regime. Provided that the entrepreneur still has the right to choose a taxation regime, he will need to make a choice between the usual and simplified regimes.
In turn, the simplified taxation regime is divided into two types. In one case, the object of taxation is the income of the enterprise, and the tax rate is 6%. In this case, the LLC will have to keep records of income and submit tax returns quarterly. In the second case, the object of taxation is income, minus expenses, and the tax rate is 15%. Which of these taxation systems to choose is a matter for every entrepreneur to decide.
This review offers a brief description of taxation systems, and also talks about reporting for LLCs, which will need to be provided to regulatory authorities when working under each of the taxation systems.
There are no restrictions in the use of OSNO, unless the enterprise has an obligation to apply a special regime. An LLC that uses OSNO is required to pay income tax in the amount of 20% of the difference between the income and expenses of the enterprise. It is worth noting that the list of enterprise expenses has practically no restrictions.
Speaking about payments and reporting of an LLC, it should be noted, first of all, the fact that LLC expenses are considered to be any costs that are economically justified and documented. Also, the enterprise must pay value added tax - 18%, property tax - 2.2%, personal income tax - 13%, mandatory contributions to the Pension Fund, Compulsory Medical Insurance Fund and Social Insurance Fund and local taxes.
Under such a taxation system, an enterprise is required to maintain accounting and tax records. There is also a need to submit quarterly reports to regulatory and statistical authorities.
A significant disadvantage of this regime is the rather burdensome taxation. Among the positive aspects is the fact that in the absence of profit, the organization gets rid of paying income tax.
In addition, enterprises that use OSNO have an interest in having VAT included separately in their costs. Accordingly, cooperation with counterparties who operate under a simplified taxation system becomes unprofitable for them.
The possibility of using the simplified taxation system LLC has its limitations. It can be applied only by those enterprises that employ no more than one hundred people, the total value of fixed assets is not higher than 100 million rubles, and income in the reporting year did not exceed 60 million rubles, which is regulated by Article 346 of the Tax Code of Russia .
The accounting policy is formed by the chief accountant and approved by the head of the LLC on the basis and in accordance with PBU 1/98 “Accounting Policy of the Organization” as well as the requirements of the Tax Code of Russia.
List and reporting deadlines for an LLC that uses the general taxation regime:
1. To the tax office:

Chapter 26 of the Tax Code of Russia is fundamental for every entrepreneur working on the simplified tax system. After all, it is she who determines the procedure for accounting for income and expenses under the simplified tax system. It must be remembered that the Zero Declaration under the simplified tax system needs to be submitted only once a year.

It is worth noting that LLCs that are on UTII are required to keep accounting records as companies that are on the general taxation system, namely: in full.
In order for statistical, accounting and tax reporting to be completed correctly, it is necessary to take into account numerous changes in tax legislation.
In accordance with them, it will be necessary not only to prepare and submit all necessary reports on time, but also to check all primary documentation for the previous reporting period.
Let's consider the features of accounting and tax accounting in public associations, the composition and procedure for submitting reports.
What is a public association?
A public association is understood as a voluntary, self-governing, non-profit formation created on the initiative of citizens.
The goals of such an association are stated in the charter. Members of such an association can be both citizens and legal entities (Federal Law of May 19, 1995 No. 82-FZ “On Public Associations” (hereinafter referred to as Law No. 82-FZ), Federal Law of January 12, 1996 No. 7-FZ “On Non-Profit Organizations” (hereinafter referred to as Law No. 7-FZ), Article 123.4 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).
Public associations are created on the basis of common interests (for example, a public organization of disabled people, the right to create which is provided for in the Federal Law of November 24, 1995 No. 181-FZ “On the social protection of disabled people in the Russian Federation”).
Let us note that the organizational and legal forms of public associations can be (Article 7 of the Federal Law of May 19, 1995 No. 82-FZ “On Public Associations”):
public organization;
social movement;
public fund;
public institution;
public initiative body;
Political Party.
A public association, which is created in the form of a legal entity, may own land plots, buildings, structures, housing stock, transport, equipment, inventory, property for cultural, educational and recreational purposes, cash, shares, other securities and other property that is necessary for the functioning of its activities (Article 30 of Law No. 82-FZ).
The specifics of the legal status of public associations predetermine the accounting procedure.
Features of accounting and reporting of a public association
When preparing financial statements, associations must be guided by general accounting standards. The Federal Law on Accounting dated December 6, 2011 No. 402-FZ made certain concessions for maintaining accounting records of non-profit organizations and, accordingly, public associations. Thus, associations have the right to use simplified methods of accounting, including simplified accounting (financial) reporting (clause 2, clause 4, article 6 of Law No. 402-FZ).
Public associations submit tax, accounting, pension, and statistical reporting in the prescribed manner. The annual financial statements of the association consist of a balance sheet, a report on the intended use of funds and a report on financial results (Clause 2 of Article 14 of Law No. 402-FZ, Order of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation No. 66n, Information of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation “On the peculiarities of the formation of financial statements of non-profit organizations "(PZ-1/2015)).
In addition, there is special reporting that must be generated by public associations.
Important!
Public associations must submit activity reports and other reports to the Ministry of Justice (clause 32 of Law No. 7-FZ, recommendations for completion are given in the Methodological recommendations for completion, approved by order of the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation dated March 17, 2011 No. 81).
Features of tax accounting of public associations
The status of the activities of public associations also determines the features of their taxation. Public associations can apply a general taxation system and a simplified taxation system. Public associations have the right to apply UTII if such a regime is established in the region in terms of the types of activities provided for in Article 346.26 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation (letter of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation dated June 29, 2015 No. GD-4-3/11277@, Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation dated July 18, 2014 No. 03-11-09/35501).
Important!
When determining the maximum amount of income for the purpose of applying the “simplified tax”, income from targeted financing is not taken into account (letter of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation dated August 19, 2015 No. 03-11-06/2/47934).
Using the general taxation system, public associations are provided with a number of tax benefits.
Income tax benefit
According to Article 246 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, all public associations are recognized as payers of income tax.
Important!
Funds received by associations for the maintenance and conduct of statutory activities are not subject to income tax (Clause 1, Subclause 14, Article 251 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).
As the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation explained, donations received by a public organization for the implementation of its statutory tasks are recognized as targeted receipts, not subject to taxation, only if the funds received are aimed at achieving a generally beneficial purpose and the organization keeps separate records of such receipts (letter dated 05.08.2011 No. 03-03-06/4/91). At the end of the tax period, associations are required to submit to the tax authority a report on the intended use of the funds received (sheet 07 of the income tax return).
VAT benefit
Public associations are VAT payers (with the exception of associations using special regimes). At the same time, transactions involving the sale of goods, products, works and services are recognized as the object of taxation (Article 146 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). However, there are benefits for certain transactions. For example, the following are exempt from VAT:
Operations for the sale of goods (with the exception of excisable goods, mineral raw materials and minerals, as well as other goods according to the list approved by the Government of the Russian Federation), works, services produced by public organizations of disabled people, among whose members disabled people (legal representatives) make up at least 80 percent ( paragraph 2, paragraph 3, article 149 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation);
Services for caring for the sick, disabled and elderly (clause 3, clause 2, article 149 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).
Targeted funds received by associations (entrance and membership fees, donations and other funds) are not subject to VAT if their receipt is not related to the sale of goods, works, services (clause 1, clause 1, article 146 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).
Property tax benefit
All-Russian public organizations of disabled people (including those created as unions of public organizations of disabled people), among whose members disabled people (legal representatives) make up at least 80%, are exempt from taxation in relation to property used by them to carry out their statutory activities (clause 3 of Art. 381 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).
01Jan
Hello, dear readers! We have already noted that a whole series of articles has accumulated in the section of the site, which is a little problematic for beginners to navigate. Especially if at the same time the essence of the articles needs to be synchronized with reporting forms - you can find them in the section.
Previously, we made a general article about. Today we’ll talk about LLC reporting and deadlines for its submission.. And, of course, we will try to provide links in the text to all useful articles and forms that are available on the site.
For more convenient and quick submission of LLC reports, everyone uses THIS service.
As always, we first divide the LLC’s reporting into groups. Here, unlike individual entrepreneurs, there will be five groups, not four. I’ll tell you why this is so later. So, the groups:
Now let's take a closer look at each group.
LLC reporting according to the taxation system used
The standard rule applies here: what tax we pay - such a declaration must be submitted to the Federal Tax Service. We present the basic information in the form of a table:
| Tax regime | Declaration (form) | Due dates |
| BASIC (general mode) | If you pay quarterly advance payments: made for a quarter, half a year, 9 months before the 28th day of the month following the specified period, and for a year before March 28 of the next year If you pay monthly advance payments: made per month, 2 months, 3 months, etc. up to 11 months before the 28th day of the month following the specified period, and a year before March 28 of the following year |
|
| Compiled based on the results of the quarter before the 25th day of the month following this quarter | ||
| Unified tax on imputed income (UTII) | Compiled for a quarter, must be submitted by the 20th day of the month following that quarter. | |
| Compiled for a year, must be submitted by March 31 of the following year. | ||
| Compiled based on the results of the quarter, before the 25th day of the month following the quarter |
As always I will add: LLC in the general regime is a VAT payer, therefore the table shows two declarations: for income tax and VAT. Special regimes are exempt from VAT, except for the Unified Agricultural Tax (under which the obligation to pay VAT and submit a declaration was introduced from 01/01/2019), for the simplified tax system, UTII we submit only the declaration corresponding to the special regime used. The obligation to submit a report and pay VAT for these entrepreneurs arises only in special cases, for example, renting premises from the municipality. When combining regimes, for example, simplification and imputation, you will have to submit 2 declarations, that is, one for each regime.
We have already written about how to fill out declarations (all examples for individual entrepreneurs also apply to LLCs, the essence of filling out the data on the form is the same):
As for KUDIR for LLC, there are some peculiarities.
Firstly, LLC will fill out KUDIR only in a simplified special mode. . General regime LLCs and Unified Agricultural Taxes do not maintain KUDIRs; they take all the necessary information for calculating tax from accounting. No one keeps a book of income/expenses on UTII: it simply doesn’t exist. But no one has canceled the recording of physical indicators, so it will still have to be organized.
The following articles may help you fill out the KUDIR:
- (for combining modes).
Submitting reports on additional taxes
Depending on the specifics of the LLC’s activities, it may pay other taxes. These include:
- Land tax - ;
- Transport tax - ;
Both declarations are drawn up based on the results of the calendar year and are submitted before February 1 of the following year.
- Water tax - compiled based on the results of each quarter, must be submitted by the 20th day of the month following this quarter;
- Gambling business tax - if you work in this area, then at the end of each month you will need, the due date is the 20th of the next month;
For legal entities working in the field of mining, or legal entities whose activities are related to the use of wildlife / aquatic biological resources (aquatic biological resources), the following taxes / fees must be paid and submitted:
- Mineral extraction tax (abbreviated as severance tax) - is compiled for each month, must be submitted by the end of the next month;
- Fees for the use of wildlife objects are submitted to the tax office, the deadline for submission is within 10 days from the date of receipt of such permission;
- Fees for the use of FBR facilities - here two types of reporting must be submitted to the tax office:
- – also surrendered within 10 days from the date of receipt of such permission;
- – surrendered before the 20th day of the month following the last month of validity of the received permit.
- Regular payments for the use of subsoil - submitted to the tax office, drawn up for the quarter, due date - no later than the last day of the month following this quarter.
LLC reporting on employees
As for contributions for employees, then with reporting everything is the same as with. In 2019, we report to the tax office (average headcount, 2-NDFL, 6-NDFL and calculation of insurance premiums), to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation (SZV-M and information on the insurance experience of insured persons) and to the Social Insurance Fund (submitting 4-FSS for contributions for injuries) .
Organizational reporting on cash transactions
We have also written about cash transactions more than once. So, organizations are required to observe cash discipline, including setting a cash limit - the maximum amount of cash that can be stored in the cash register (everything in excess of it must be deposited at the bank). There is a relaxation for small organizations: there is no need to set a cash limit, but this decision must be formalized by an appropriate order. You can find out what kind of business you belong to: small, medium or large - using established criteria. .
Report OO-1
Federal static observation form OO-1 "Information about the organization providing training in educational programs of primary general, basic general, secondary general education" (hereinafter referred to as OO-1 report)
The OO-1 report is generated as of September 20 of the current year. To form it, all data in the system is used. If there is a change (correction) of data as of a date before September 20, the report must be recalculated.
General information. Interface
OO level
Interface of this section is a working field; it is empty until the OO-1 report is created. After creating the report ( create Report OO-1 - red plus sign in the upper right corner) a line with a report appears in it. The report line indicates the status of the report.
To the left of the work field there are filters with status for sorting records with reports.
Statuses:

Report card OO-1
Card access - Click on a report in the list of reports
The top menu of the report card looks like this - sections “Summary”, “Lists”, “Preview”.
Button "Download in EXCEL" - function for downloading the OO-1 report in EXCEL format
Button “For verification at the Municipal Organization” - this function allows you to send Report OO-1 to the Municipal Organization after checking it at the OO level.
Summary
The upper part of the section contains basic data about the report - academic year, name of the organization, state (status), date of the last action with the report, which led to a change in status.
The lower part of the section is a summary table containing information about errors and comments contained in the system data and affecting the generation of the OO-1 Report.
To view errors and comments, you need to go to the list containing the errors (each list is a hyperlink). Errors are marked in red, comments - in yellow. Errors and comments need to be corrected and the report reformatted.
Lists
The section contains lists (primary data), based on the data from which the OO-1 Report is built. Having looked at the lists, you can understand why the OO-1 Report is constructed exactly this way, and not in the way that might be necessary. Advice - It’s more convenient to download the lists (CSV) and then work with them in EXCEL using filters, checking all the data

Preview
A service that allows you to view the data of the OO-1 Report without downloading it. You must select the desired subsection (by clicking the mouse), and the information is available for viewing.
Municipal level
The municipal level interface almost completely coincides with the OO level.
Differences from OO level
At the municipal level, it is not possible to create a new report if the municipal curator is not assigned the role of PA administrator.
Municipal coordinators review reports and accept or reject them.
In the OO-1 Report card there are buttons “For revision” and “Accept report”. The first should be used when there are errors in the report and the TOE must correct them. The second - when all errors are eliminated and the report is built correctly.
Actions performed with the OO-1 report
After creating a report and correcting errors in it, the report from the OO must be sent for verification to the Municipal Organization, the “for verification at the Municipal Organization” button in the top menu of the OO-1 Report card.
The report acquires the status "Under review". After checking the report, the municipal curator either sends the report “For revision” (status “under revision”) or accepts it (status “Accepted”). In the first case, it is necessary to correct errors in the report and re-send it to the MOO (these operations of sending to the MOO can be done several times until all errors are corrected). In the second case, the report has been accepted, and no further actions need to be taken with it; after this status is assigned, the report data is recorded in the system, and no changes can be made to them. I would advise the municipal curator to assign this status after the report is submitted to the Ministry of Education.
Access
Generating a report at the OO level is available to the following roles: administrator, head teacher, ????
This report is the main report on the basis of which funding is allocated to an educational organization. Take its formation very seriously. Check the accuracy and correctness of all data contained in the system.
The administrative burden on companies is quite high. The LLC reporting that needs to be maintained is divided into several important sectors: declaration of income and assets, financial reports, extra-budgetary funds, statistics, accounting of personnel and their income. The deadlines and forms of papers are different, and it’s not easy to sort through all this “sea.” For information on how and what kind of reporting an LLC is required to submit to regulatory authorities in 2018, see our instructions.
Fees and modes
The main fiscal law of our country says that companies can use both a general system of budget payments and special, simplified tax schemes. Among them:
- “Simplified” (USN). Popular mode for young companies.
- “Imputation” (UTII). Suitable if the company already receives a stable income “above average” and has a good clientele and a package of contracts.
- Agricultural tax (USAKhN). An analogue of the simplified tax system for farmers.
Why is this brief educational program on the tax system needed? The fact is that reporting and requirements for it depend on what special mode the organization uses.
Tax reporting documentation shows the income and assets from which the state receives its rent in the form of fiscal fees. The main document of such reporting is the declaration. This document applies to all schemes with one “but”. On OSNO, reporting papers are filled out and submitted to controllers for each of the three fiscal payments, and on simplified schemes, the LLC submits it in a single copy.
Tax reporting documentation shows the income and assets from which the state receives its rent in the form of fiscal fees. The main document of such reporting is the declaration.
Types of declarations
There are several types of declarations on OSNO:
- According to VAT. The taxpayer (in our case this is a limited liability company) submits until the next 25th of the past three months. The form and sample document are published on the official tax portal.
- For income tax. Quarterly reporting is submitted within 28 days after the end of three control months. Annual report – until March 28 of the following year. The form can be downloaded from the tax website.
- For property tax. The fiscal levy on assets is a local tax, so the administrations of territories, regions and federal cities can independently introduce and cancel payment rules. In general, legal entities submit calculations for this tax by the 30th day of the month following the expired three control months. The final report must be received by the tax office by March 30 of the following year. How to fill out declarations and submit calculations, see.
Declarations for a company in simplified language:
- Annual report due March 31 of the following year. The preparation of the document and the procedure for submission are described in detail on the Internet portal of the Federal Tax Service.
- Report on property tax, which is assessed at cadastral value. The procedure is the same as for companies on OSNO.
Companies on the “imputation” submit:
- Quarterly report by the 20th day of the month following the expired period. The document form can be taken from the tax website.
- Property tax report assessed at cadastral value (see above).
Companies submit to the Unified Agricultural Tax:
- Report no later than March 31 of the following year.
- Property tax report assessed at cadastral value.
We have outlined a list of the main fiscal reporting documents that every legal entity expects to be provided, depending on the chosen tax regime. But, in addition to the above, the company may have additional responsibilities.
The legislation specifies taxes and fees, reports for which will appear as soon as the object of taxation appears. Such fiscal fees include transport, land, subsoil use, etc. Example: as soon as a company buys a car, it will have the obligation to pay transport tax. And we can safely add the preparation and submission of a declaration to the tax. Therefore, the final list can only be generated in each specific case.
Unfortunately, the documents that need to be submitted to the tax office are not limited to declarations. In addition to these, the tax office expects from the company:
- Information on the average number of employees. Annual reports are due by January 20.
- Personal income tax reporting. It includes two forms: 2-NDFL and 6-NDFL.
6-NDFL is submitted to the tax office quarterly, by the 30th day of the month following the expired period. The final paper must be on the inspectors’ desk by April 1 of the following year. This declaration reflects the total amount of personal income tax paid for periods from the beginning of the year. 2-NDFL - a declaration that must be sent to the Federal Tax Service once a year:
- Before March 1, information must be submitted about those employees from whom it is impossible to withhold tax. For example, temporary workers who received less than 4 thousand rubles for their work.
- Before April 1 - information about the main personnel of the enterprise from which the tax was withheld.
Important: personal income tax declarations are submitted in paper form if the company’s staff is less than 25 people. Otherwise, the report form is electronic.
Numbers and finance
Financial (accounting) reporting is another huge layer of documents that must be submitted to two supervisory authorities at once. These are the Federal Tax Service and the regional branch of the statistical agency (Rosstat). The obligations of companies are specified in the Law “On Accounting”.
This type of reporting is submitted once a year, and it includes information accumulated in the company from January 1 to December 31. The documents include:
- Accounting balance. The contents of the document reflect the current financial condition of the company at the time the report was prepared.
- Report on financial results. Details profits and losses.
- Statement of changes in capital.
- Statement of cash flows.
- Appendixes – a detailed table for each of the documents with explanations and comments.
Companies using simple taxation regimes (STS, UTII and Unified Agricultural Tax) have the right to submit simplified accounting reports. It includes only the first two documents in the list. The deadline for submitting documents to the fiscal authority is March 31 of the following reporting year. If no activity was carried out, reporting is still submitted to the tax office.
Companies using simple taxation regimes (STS, UTII and Unified Agricultural Tax) have the right to submit simplified accounting reports.
Accounting reports are submitted to the statistical authorities no later than 3 months after the end of the year. Also, not only financial statements are submitted there, but also a number of additional departmental forms. Their list and delivery schedule must be clarified on the website of the department in your region.
Insurance and pension
The package of company reporting documents is supplemented by data that needs to be sent to extra-budgetary funds - the Pension Fund (PFR) and the Social Insurance Fund (SIF). This point is also mandatory; you cannot ignore the array of documents.
Companies donate to extra-budgetary funds:
- 4-FSS. Due quarterly until the 20th of the month following the period in paper form or until the 25th in electronic form. The document form can be found on the Social Insurance website.
- RSV-1. The timing and frequency are identical to 4-FSS.
To confirm the main type of activity, the following package of documents is submitted:
- Application for confirmation of the main direction of work (type of economic activity).
