Methods for submitting reports to the tax

The tax reporting forms compiled by the taxpayer depend on the category of the entity and the number of registered employees. Information is sent to tax office at the place of residence of the entrepreneur or the address of registration of the enterprise.

How to submit overdue reporting to the tax office? Taxpayers have the right:

• Visit the tax office in person and submit your tax return. This is a classic option involving waiting in line and transportation costs.
• Submit reports to the tax office through an intermediary. A taxpayer can sign a power of attorney at a notary and send his representative to the Federal Tax Service. The trustee will personally hand over the documentation to the inspector of the fiscal authority.
• Send reports to the tax office via the Internet. The most advanced, fast and inexpensive option. Submission of tax reports via the Internet reduces the risk of making mistakes. The taxpayer can send documents even when he is out of the office.
• Send documentation by mail. A valuable letter with a description of the investment is sent to the FTS address. In the absence of an inventory, the document will not be considered by officials.

What reports are submitted to the tax

In order to correctly determine which reports are submitted to the tax office, it is necessary to clarify:

• Taxation system (STS, UTII, ESKhN, PSN, OSN). Individuals submit the appropriate declarations. Representatives of DOS draw up declarations for 3-NDFL, 4-NDFL, VAT, Calculation of insurance premiums.
• The presence and number of employees. The FTS requests average headcount employees, 2-NDFL, registers of information on income individuals and 6-NDFL,
• The presence of some activities. The program for the preparation and submission of reports to the tax authorities can create reports on excise, land, water taxes, mineral extraction tax, fees for the use of objects of wildlife and objects of aquatic biological resources, payments for the use of subsoil.

They are actively being introduced into our life innovative technologies... And entrepreneurs faced many changes in their activities. For example, it became possible to transfer the necessary documentation to the tax authorities and extra-budgetary funds through computer technology... Electronic reporting in the FIU, FSS and IFTS is increasingly used by modern entrepreneurs.

In this article we will tell you how to submit reports electronically with minimal financial losses, and also consider the features of electronic accounting reporting. Read about in the article electronic journal"General director".

Registration of declarations and settlements in electronic form is necessary if the conditions specified in the table are met.

Electronic filing of value added tax returns is mandatory for all payers.

Electronic reporting: key benefits

Implementation electronic document management with regulatory authorities aimed at simplifying the reporting procedure and minimizing the risk of errors.

You can list the following number of advantages electronic reporting before the paper one.

1. Delivery of reports is very fast. Data in electronic form the addressee receives it within a few minutes after sending. In addition to timely delivery, it is guaranteed that the report is not lost, since there is no human factor.
2. The costs for registration and submission of electronic reports are less. There is no need to apply personally to various authorities to submit a report. This saves a lot of time.
3. The possibility of sending a report with errors is eliminated. It is possible to evaluate the generated report for errors. A multistage system has been developed that allows regulatory authorities to check electronic document before it is accepted. It doesn't take a lot of time. If the report is compiled with errors, it will be returned for revision, and you will be shown the shortcomings. The check is carried out quickly, which allows you to submit electronic reporting on time.
4. There is more time for submission of electronic reporting. It is allowed to send reports in electronic form at any time of the day.
5. It is possible to apply electronic methods of document processing. With this, the process of creating the required forms is significantly accelerated.

Electronic reporting allows you to simplify the workflow between business entities and control bodies, minimize the risk of errors and reduce the cost of paperwork.

Electronic reporting: possible schemes

The law provides for the following reporting methods:

• in person or through a representative;
• by mail with a valuable letter (it is necessary to describe the attachment);
• electronically via the Internet.

The first two are simple and straightforward, but currently not all business entities can use them. For example, paragraph 3 of Art. 80 and clause 5 of Art. 174 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation establish the obligation of all VAT payers (and tax agents) to draw up and send tax returns only in electronic form, using telecommunication channels for this. Similar requirements apply to the preparation of personal income tax returns, calculations of insurance premiums, etc.

Before choosing software, you need to deal with the technological side. Reports can be submitted according to the following schemes:

• straight;
• representative;
• using portals.

	The essence of the scheme
	Provides for the conclusion of an agreement between the client and the operator of electronic document management / intermediary. The subscriber receives a software product that allows sending reports, and an electronic digital signature is issued to the manager or other authorized person.	There is a guarantee of total control over the registration and submission of reports. FTS can send messages and requests. Connecting several companies will be cheaper.	The need to pay every year. Only a person who understands the process, knows the requirements and keeps track of the deadlines can handle the sending of reports.
Representative	Reports are sent by a company that has software through which other organizations and individual entrepreneurs can report.	The cost of one shipment is small (from 100 rubles). The scheme is very simple - you come to the representative and he himself takes care of the dispatch.	There is no guarantee that the representative is bona fide. There is no feedback (if it is not provided by the contract). Have the reports been delivered? Did they accept them or not? The Federal Tax Service cannot send requests and requests and receive answers to them. The tax office keeps the representative scheme in the spotlight. It is expected to be canceled soon.
State portals	The company acquires a key to an electronic digital signature (EDS) from any accredited certification center and gets the opportunity to report through state portals(https://www.nalog.ru/, http://fss.ru/ and others).	Small expenses (only for the purchase of an electronic digital signature).	You need to go through the registration procedure on each portal. Each portal has its own specifics of working with it. You should not count on help and support.

Electronic reporting software: how to choose the right one

The main programs for electronic document management are provided by such special operators: Tenzor, Taxcom, ZAO PF SKB Kontur and ZAO Kaluga Astral. Another well-known player on the market is Rus-Telecom LLC, its software is called Feldjeger.

There are programs not only for submitting reports, but also allowing accounting and. These are 1C, Astral, Tensor, SBiS, Argos and others.

Each software product allows a comprehensive approach to work: in addition to drawing up reports, you can download ready-made files from other accounting systems, transfer them. In addition, other related services are offered (base of regulatory documents, electronic document management with contractors, etc.). It is clear that each option costs money, the price of different solutions varies. The main factors influencing it are the type of organization and the tax regime.

In the Russian Federation, there are 119 EDM operators who have passed the registration procedure. A list of them can be found on the website of the Federal Tax Service of Russia.

Before choosing software, you need to decide on your preferences. There are two types of programs that differ technologically:

• offline - copies are installed on a PC (on an external hard drive or flash drive);
• online is a cloud-based software that allows you to work from any PC on the Internet.

Offline products include SBiC ++, 1C-Reporting, Astral Report and others.

Dealing with online programs is more difficult. Users mistakenly believe that this group of products allows them to work from any PC with Internet access. For example, software "Kontur-Extern". In the program "Kontur" electronic reporting can be created and uploaded on the portal on the Internet, however mandatory requirement is the installation at the workplace of a means of cryptographic information protection (CIP). You need to understand that if you install the cryptographic data protection tool on a PC, then it will not be possible to work from any computer. If downloading the cryptographic information protection tool to the computer is not required, then this is the online version. This group includes the following programs: "Accounting.Kontur" and Kaluga integration solutions "Buchsoft", "MoeDelo", "Glavbukh" and others.

A high price is not always a guarantee of a perfect solution. additional fee may be charged for completely useless options. Therefore, the correct prioritization is so important before making a choice. You should figure out whether you only need to send reports or you will need and Additional services.

Operators can provide quite a few of them. The main ones are as follows:

• automatic execution of functions professional accountant(the program itself calculates taxes and fees, and the client can submit electronic reporting with one click of a button);
• registration of an electronic digital signature;
• training to work with the service;
• consulting on issues related to accounting;
• provision of a base of regulatory documents;
• data storage.

So, you only needed a product to send reports, and you also received additional services. For some, this option is suitable, since it will solve all the problems, but for some, such a package will be useless. In this regard, when choosing software, specify what the cost of the product includes. Refuse unnecessary additional service or contact other special communication operators.

Letters, reconciliations, the function of preparing and checking reports, the ability to download the required files from other programs (except for sending to the Federal Tax Service, Pension Fund, FSS and Rosstat) are minimum requirements to the electronic reporting system. As a rule, this basic set is in demand among users, not hung with additional options. Also consider the number of subscribers. If you manage several organizations, then it will be beneficial for you to connect a tariff for a group of companies. Ask suppliers for availability.

Another criterion for choosing a program is the interface. It should be understandable at an intuitive level, then you will not need to train employees to work in the service.

You can connect to the software for submitting reports according to a certain procedure. It is the same for different programs. To send reports electronically, you will need:

• application for connection;
• operator service agreement;
• agreement on exchange in the electronic document management system;
• documents for issuing an electronic digital signature (these are copies of the TIN and OGRN of the organization / individual entrepreneur, which must be certified, the passport and SNILS of the head).

To transfer reports to government agencies via TCS, it must be encrypted and certified with an EDS certificate, which is issued to an employee who has the right to sign. This is usually the head of the company.

The purpose of the digital signature is to confirm the authenticity of documents that are transmitted via telecommunication channels:

• to certify that the signed text comes from the person who certified it;
• protect documents from changes.

Those who supply products for electronic reporting can register an EDS certificate. Before this procedure, you need to determine the scope of the signature. It may be needed not only for the certification of electronic reports. For example, EDF requires certification of documents using an electronic signature. It is also needed to participate in auctions through the Network. If you are interested in a zone EDS application has been expanded, consult a special operator on this issue, he will tell you about the available possibilities.

Using the scheme described above for submission of electronic reporting through state portals requires registration of an electronic signature certificate with accredited suppliers. The cost of such a procedure ranges from 500 to 3500 rubles.

Electronic reporting program: comparative characteristics of market leaders

Each software product has both advantages and disadvantages.

Astral.

The product allows you to report electronically to organizations such as the Federal Tax Service, FSS, Rosstat, and Pension Fund of Russia. More than 400,000 domestic companies send electronic reporting through this program.

The advantages of this service are as follows:

• Internet does not need to be high-speed for sending electronic reports;
• professional technical support is provided;
• low price;
• current report forms are available for work;
• you can send reports executed in any accounting program.

Among the shortcomings can be noted the storage of information on a PC.

"Tensor".

The company has become a leader in recent years. The number of her clients is constantly growing. The company's software product is a reliable and proven tool that allows you to send electronic reports over the Internet. Using the package, you can submit reports to the Federal Tax Service, Pension Fund, FSS, Rosstat. The advantages of the service are as follows:

• The software is easy to install and connect;
• there are many additional services.

To connect one organization to the service, you will have to pay 12,000 rubles. Aspiring entrepreneurs are not always able to do this. This is the disadvantage of the program.

The most common software product.

The following advantages of 1C are distinguished:

• it is very easy to transfer electronic reporting;
• many additional interfaces have been developed;
• there is an opportunity to plan the transfer of funds and control accounts;
• you can take into account payments on payment cards;
• the program is very convenient to use;
• the service can be updated over the Internet.

Among the shortcomings of the 1C package are the following:

• the software is expensive;
• it is necessary to subscribe every year;
• only a specialist can update the program, independent actions can lead to the loss of information.

Argos.

With the program "Argos" it is quite easy to send electronic reports. The interface is intuitive. Encryption and signature of documents is provided, which makes it possible to make them legally significant. Therefore, you can submit reports to auditing organizations.

Any mail program can be used to transfer documents. Data storage is carried out on the subscriber's side, while security is not guaranteed.

SBS.

The product can be installed on a PC as well as used online. Data synchronization is possible. The transmission of electronic reporting to the SBS is carried out using not a postal protocol, but a direct channel with the operator.

In this regard, receipt of reports is confirmed instantly. To make the system more reliable, you can use the mail protocol as a fallback. In this case, the highest probability of delivery of documents is guaranteed.

There are other software as well. Let's pay attention to the programs "Kontur" and "Taxcom".

"Circuit" has the following advantages:

• the system is installed on the operator's server, so he himself monitors the appearance of updates;
• receipt of reports is confirmed instantly.

Among the shortcomings, it is worth noting the need for a stable connection to the Internet. If the connection is broken while working with the system, the information will be lost.

Taxcom installed locally on the user's PC. Reports are transmitted using a mail channel, the principle of which is similar to that of standard mail clients.

The advantages of the program are as follows:

• storage location - the user's PC, but in encrypted form;
• you don't need a permanent connection to the network.

The disadvantage of the product is the delay in the confirmation of the delivery of electronic reporting.

Programs are developed in accordance with the specifics of the activity and the volume of work. Their price and performance depend on this.

Select software should take into account the following factors:

1. Which regulatory body do you need to report to?
2. Does the operator provide technical support to customers, and how prompt it is.
3. What is the cost of the product, whether you need to pay extra for additional options.
4. Is it difficult to connect and install.

When studying prices and reviews, you need to understand that the cost of acquiring different licenses for the same software will not be the same.

The amount varies depending on the following factors:

• how many people will work with the service;
• whether it is necessary to connect additional modules for internal DO and analytics, which do not make the reporting process faster, but increase the cost of the license;
• to how many organizations will you report using this program.

For example, the subscription fee for using the Electronic Reporting software, depending on these indicators, varies from 1200 rubles to $ 1000 per year per 1 workplace. To connect the service, you will need to pay from 4,000 to 16,500 rubles.

The main advantage of electronic reporting is time savings and functionality. But some systems also have disadvantages. They may be significant to you, so they need to be considered.

In addition, all regulatory authorities have their own software products that allow you to fill out and send reports in electronic form.

Submission of reports in electronic form with minimal financial losses

Sending electronic reports over the Internet requires the following conditions to be met:

1. Software must be installed that allows you to fill out forms and prepare reports electronically.
2. You need to install an ERP product.
3. You must have a Qualified Electronic Signature (CEP) and a cryptographic provider.

As a rule, there is an unloading of electronic reporting from accounting software (1C, Parus, SAP, etc.). Often it is accompanied by certain problems, since the forms of electronic reporting change and not all software products are updated synchronously.

• FTS: "Taxpayer LE";
• Rosstat: software for filling out statistical reporting forms in offline mode;
• FIU: Spu_orb program;
• FSS: the program "Preparation of calculations for the FSS" (4FSS can also be filled in on the portal. In some regions, the sending of certificates of incapacity for work is available);
• RPN: "Natural Resource User Module";
• FSRAR: "Declarant-Alco".

In addition, the websites of the above control bodies have additional programs and services that can be used regardless of the method of compiling electronic reporting.

Many packages, developed by special communication operators and expensive, are characterized by a direct appeal to the resources of control bodies:

• extracts from YUGRUL / EGRIP (including legally significant ones);
• find out your / someone else's TIN;
• program for checking reports to the Pension Fund for payers - CheckPFR;
• and others.

Many people think that government services are far from perfect. However, the quality of the products listed above is quite good, they do an excellent job of their functions. In the development of many of them, the principle of separate loading of xml templates of the required forms was used. In this regard, user control is required, since templates are updated frequently (especially at Rosstat).

Advice! Make an intermediate repository of the necessary xml templates, you will need it for centralized updates. I am currently distributing templates and providing accountants with information about updates, for which I use simple Python scripts.

The authorities exercising control have their own services that allow you to submit electronic reporting free of charge:

• FTS: submission of accounting, tax reports in electronic form (https://service.nalog.ru/nbo/);
• Rosstat: reporting collection system (https://91.194.112.17/webstat/);
• FIU: the insured's office (https://es.pfrf.ru/#services-u);
• FSS gateway (http://f4.fss.ru/);
• RPN (http://rpn.gov.ru/otchetnost);
• FSRAR web portal (https://service.fsrar.ru/).

To use the resources, you need to fulfill the standard requirements: have a qualified electronic signature (CEP), a cryptographic provider and a plug-in to work with the browser.

The disadvantage of this method is the need to register on each resource, which entails inconvenience if the amount of information is large. In paid solutions, the interface is uniform and seamless.

Before sending the generated reports, you need to sign them using an EDS. You will definitely not be able to save money here, since no one provides certificates to legal entities for free.

On the official sites there are lists of organizations accredited to issue an electronic digital signature. The same resources lead to the requirements for such certification centers. If you already have an EDS, it may be suitable for signing electronic documents.

You also need to have a crypto provider program. As a rule, electronic reporting websites of control bodies use CryptoPro. You can install it for three months trial version is free. To save money, first install the version of "CryptoPro 3.9", and then - "CryptoPro 4.0", then you can work for free for 6 months. Then you need to buy a license to avoid problems.

Some special operators have developed cloud qualified electronic signatures (CloudCEP) for their software, the place of their storage is the server of a specialized telecom operator. Working with CloudCEP does not require the purchase and installation of a cryptographic provider. However, you cannot use the cloud CEP in other programs.

The widespread opinion that after purchasing the software the special operator will do everything himself is wrong. The contracts with telecom operators are well-drafted, their functions and responsibilities are clearly spelled out in them. By and large, he must take the documents and deliver them to the receiving complex of the controlling body.

Electronic submission of reports and responsibility

If within 10 working days from the moment the organization has the obligation to submit reports in electronic form to the tax, it does not provide the ability to accept documents from the IFTS in electronic form, this may lead to the blocking of its bank accounts by the fiscal authority.

In addition, the FTS, PF RF, FSS have the right to collect fines from companies if they do not comply with the procedure for filing tax returns (calculations).

The fine is 200 rubles for each report not submitted in accordance with the rules.

Electronic accounting reporting as an example of electronic reporting and its features

Financial statements are a collection of information about all financial transactions of a company, systematized in a certain way. These data characterize financial condition business entity.

In accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation, since 2013, absolutely all enterprises must conduct accounting in electronic form. Electronic reporting is mandatory even for business entities operating under a simplified taxation system.

Currently, in Russia, many accountants are familiar with such a software product as 1C. Electronic accounting has many advantages. Nevertheless, there are those who treat her with distrust for various reasons.

Innings electronic documentation- a much simpler and more pleasant process than waiting for your turn to be seen by a tax inspector in order to submit a report or declaration.

Electronic financial statements has the following advantages:

• paperwork in electronic form takes much less time than paper;
• it minimizes the risk of making mistakes when filling out forms.

All EDMS, which are used by enterprises to submit electronic reporting to control bodies, have programs that automatically perform calculations. Providing everyone required forms can be done over the Internet.

If the accountant submits documents in electronic form to the regulatory authorities, then there are no situations when tax officials refuse to accept them for verification.

Currently, any reports can be submitted in electronic form. There are no restrictions. Nevertheless, mainly in electronic form, they pass:

• accounting statements;
• reports on financial results.

The sending of documentation by an accounting employee can be carried out using Internet tools, such as e-mail. It turned out to be very convenient for individual entrepreneurs to maintain electronic reporting: now they do not have to employ accountants, they can maintain documentation themselves. To prepare and submit financial statements, they need to learn how to work with the 1C program and have access to the Internet.

But before a business entity sends electronic documentation to the tax authorities, it must officially switch to the EDM system, having previously selected any of them.

Computer-aided record keeping requires the following steps to get started:

• writing an official application for connecting to EDM, which will allow the exchange of electronic information with the tax inspectorate or other control body;
• concluding an agreement with an organization involved in connecting to the EDMS;
• signing additional agreements on the implementation of an electronic document management system in the territorial department of the Federal Tax Service, obtaining a digital key or EDS, drawn up in a special certification center.

Important: electronic key only documents submitted to the tax office can be certified. The electronic signature is intended to give a legal status to any documentation sent to different control bodies.

The reporting forms are posted on the official Internet resources of the services. Thanks to this, the work of accountants of all enterprises is greatly simplified. If you, being an accountant or the head of an organization, are not able to switch to the EDI system on your own in order to pass all types financial statements using telecommunication channels for this, you can use the services of private commercial organizations... They will collect and prepare the necessary papers for connecting to the electronic document management system, issuing an EDS or digital key, and select a suitable program. Users have the right to obtain certificates for electronic digital signatures and key generation.

The tax service is developing services that allow electronic preparation of documents necessary for processing most of the transfer of goods, works, services from one company to another. The purpose of such programs is to stimulate the transition to EDI.

For example, it is expected that in tax authority upon his request, it will be possible to provide, using telecommunication channels, a document on the transfer of goods (works, services), created on the basis of the recommended form TORG-12, an act of acceptance and transfer of works, similar to the generally accepted paper form, an invoice with an extended set of details and etc.

Now there are so many software products with a license, allowing to implement the operation of the electronic data exchange system between contractors. The program can be paid or free. The latter, as a rule, are developed directly by the Federal Tax Service or the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation. You should not buy expensive software, considering that the higher the price, the better the quality of the product. The choice should be made, focusing not on the amount, but on the correspondence of the program functionality to the specifics of your activity.

Electronic financial statements universal, easy to use, and therefore more and more organizations are switching to it. Various courses and trainings are held for faster adaptation of accounting employees and other authorized persons to new working conditions. At the legislative level, the need to sign primary electronic accounting documents with an electronic digital signature and transfer them through operators of electronic document circulation has been approved.

Reporting in case of non-fulfillment of these requirements will not have legal force, and documents cannot be presented for VAT offset or protection of the company's interests in court. The same reason underlies the prohibition of independent organization of document flow with counterparties (for example, using postal services) without the participation of electronic document flow operators.

Which system to choose for submitting reports via the Internet? This question is the most important for those who have decided to go to a "paperless" relationship with the inspection. To answer it, the accountant needs to know how the existing systems fundamentally differ. And for accountants who already submit declarations in electronic form, the description of systems given in our article will help them find a way out of difficult situations faster. Such, for example, as a computer breakdown or disconnection of the Internet at the time of preparing reports for sending.

IN this moment there are more than 10 licensed systems for generating and sending reports. However, most of them do not have fundamental differences from each other - only the set of services and the manufacturer's brand are different in them. As for the principle of operation, all systems are divided into only two categories. These are offline systems (also called "thick client") and online systems ("thin client").

Offline system

When using an offline system, the program is installed on the taxpayer's computer. Accordingly, the formation of reports takes place on the hard disk of the computer. When the statements are generated, the accountant signs it with a private key. Then it encrypts the resulting file using the public EDS key of "own" inspection, and sends a report. He only needs an Internet connection at this moment - just before sending.

The report (encrypted file) is sent via e-mail to the server of the special operator of communication. Having received the report, the special operator sends a confirmation to the taxpayer by e-mail - a file signed by the special operator's EDS. And the special operator sends the report itself to the inspection server. That is, the report travels two segments of the path. The first one is from the taxpayer's computer to the special operator's server. The second is from the special operator's server to the inspection server.

In a similar way - from the inspection server through the special operator's server to the taxpayer's computer - the documents move, which the inspectorate sends to the taxpayer. This is a receipt, which confirms that the reports have reached the inspection server, and the acceptance of the declaration, which indicates whether the report was accepted or not, and informs about the reasons for the refusal.

In total, there are more than 10 offline systems on the market. The most popular (the number of subscribers is in the hundreds of thousands) are Taxcom-Sprinter, SBiS ++, Astral Report, Kontur-Extern Light.

pros

1. When using a dial-up connection ("weak" access channel) to access the Internet, offline systems are more convenient than an online system.

Minuses

1. Self-installation of updates. In offline systems, taxpayers are required to set new tax return formats on their own. If the accountant does not install the updates, the reports will not be accepted by the inspection. At the same time, the installation of updates often turns into abnormal situations that make it impossible to send reports. For example, some systems have the following drawback: if the Internet is disconnected while downloading the update, it will be impossible to send reports.

The old declaration format will be removed from the computer, and the new one will not be installed. Moreover, if operating system(say, Windows) of the taxpayer has some flaws (for example, an unlicensed system is installed or a program is missing in the package), then it may not be possible to install updates. Finally, problems can arise when too many accountants at the same time (for example, in the last hours of reporting) try to download updates from the server.

2. The need to store the archive on separate media. In offline systems, the archive of submitted reports is stored on the taxpayer's computer. Accordingly, a serious breakdown of the computer will lead to loss of reporting. Therefore, the sent declarations and calculations after sending must be copied to other media.

3. Binding to the computer where the system is installed for sending. If the reporting is sent on the last day and during its preparation either the computer breaks down or the electricity (Internet) is cut off, then the accountant will most likely have to urgently run to the post office and send the declarations on paper. The reason is that the sending program is installed on a specific computer. Accordingly, if it breaks down, it will be impossible to send "electronic" reporting. And in case of a power outage or the Internet, the accountant will need an “alternate airfield”. That is, an office or apartment, where there is currently electricity, Internet access and the consent of the owners of the computer to install several programs on it. Moreover, if, when the Internet is turned off, the program for sending can be copied and transported on a flash drive, then in the event of a power outage, the system unit will have to be transported to the spare office (after all, the program cannot be copied).

4. Less certainty with fixing the time of sending the report. The date of dispatch is fixed upon confirmation of the special communication operator. Let's say a taxpayer submits reports through an offline system "on a flag" (say, a few hours before the expiration date). When he sends the report by mail, he will have to wait for some time until the mail delivers the report to the special operator's server and until the confirmation goes back. If the mail for some reason delays the report, it may happen that after midnight the taxpayer will receive a confirmation dated later than required in the day. And he will not have time to rectify the situation.

Online system

Such a system, unlike an offline system, implies work in a browser (for example, Internet explorer). This means that you do not need to install special programs for generating reports on your computer. Using the certificate of his EDS, the taxpayer enters the server of the special operator, receives the current formats from there and proceeds to generate reports. In the most common online system "", data can be entered manually, or you can attach a ready-made file generated in an accounting program.

In this case, the formation, signing and encryption of the report is carried out at the taxpayer's workplace. The difference from the offline system is that all these processes do not take place on the hard drive, but with the help of so-called temporary Internet files. (It is this feature of online technology that saves the taxpayer from having to keep track of updates and download them to the hard drive of their computer). It should be clarified that working in a browser (with temporary files) is not the same as working on a special operator's server. Roughly speaking, the cable that provides the connection to the Internet (and, accordingly, the connection to the server of the special operator) can be pulled out of the computer during formation, signing and encryption, and this will not affect the work with reporting.

The connection to the server is required after signing and encrypting the report. It is needed to send it. When the connection to the server is established and the accountant clicks the "Send report" button, the data is not sent by mail, but is immediately saved on the special operator's server. In this case, the report signed by the taxpayer goes to the server of the special operator (and then is stored there) only in encrypted form.

A few seconds later, in the browser window, the accountant sees the confirmation of the special operator generated by the server, according to which the time of sending the report is recorded. The server then sends the report to the inspection. That is, the report goes through one segment of the path - from the special operator's server to the inspection server. There is no segment from the computer to the special operator's server when using the online system.

Further, the inspectorate sends the taxpayer documents on the acceptance of reports. They come in encrypted form to the special operator's server and are stored there. With the help of his EDS certificate, the accountant enters the server and reads receipts and protocols.

The online system has many advantages and is very simple and convenient to use. But creating and maintaining such a system is much more difficult. Therefore, only one online system for generating and sending reports - "", has so far become widespread (about 1 million subscribers).

Minuses.

1. When using a dial-up connection for Internet access ("weak" access channel), working with the online system may be uncomfortable.

Pros.

1. There is no need to install updates. New formats of declarations and calculations are laid out by the specialists of the system manufacturer. Accordingly, the problems described above related to the installation of updates do not arise. Whatever the level of "computer" literacy of the accountant, he can be sure that he will always be able to send the declaration in an up-to-date format.

2. No need to store sent reports. All previously sent reports are encrypted and stored on the special operator's server. With the help of his EDS certificate, the accountant can access them from any computer. Please note: in order to gain access to previously sent declarations, you must also store those keys that have already expired. Reports sent in, say, 2006 can only be read using the private key that was in effect at that time. At the same time, nothing prevents the accountant from copying even encrypted or decrypted reports and storing them on any media.

3. The accountant is not "tied" to a specific computer. If on the last day of submitting reports, the computer breaks down, electricity or Internet access is cut off, reports can be sent from another computer. To do this, the accountant will only need a ru-token (analogue of a flash drive) or a floppy disk where key certificates are stored. You also need a program for encryption "Crypto Pro". Having a medium with the listed data, installing the Crypto Pro program and registering a certificate, you can send reports.

4. Instant fixation of the reporting date. When an accountant clicks the "send report" button, he does not send it by mail, but saves it on the special operator's server. Therefore, the confirmation by which the date of sending is fixed is generated instantly. Therefore, in the case of sending a declaration "on the flag", the accountant can be sure that he has submitted the reports on time within a few seconds after sending.

5. "Two in one". Buying the online system "", the accountant receives the offline system "Kontur-Extern Light".
