When paying for a purchase (work, service), a check is punched out, which is handed over to the client on paper or in electronic form. Check online cash register s (hereinafter referred to as PSC) - confirmation of the completed payment. In this article we will talk about the requirements for an online cash register receipt and consider the rules for issuing it.
Rules for issuing a check at an online cash register
Legal regulation regarding work with online cash register checks is carried out by:
- Federal Law No. 54, Art. 4.7., clause 1 (key requirements for the content of PSC);
- Federal Law No. 290 (procedure for using cash register systems for payments in cash and through payment cards).
Each payment transaction must be displayed separately, on a separate receipt. CSC breaks when returning cash when the buyer refuses to purchase (work, service). Receipts are also issued when paying for a lottery, conducting gambling, in case of payment of winnings on them.
Online check and BSO details
Federal Law No. 54 obliges owners of online cash registers to correctly configure check details. Despite the absence of a strict form of PSC, there is a whole list of attributes that, according to the law, must be displayed on the check.
Mandatory attributes of PSC | What attributes and when is it permissible not to indicate in the PSC? |
Name of the fiscal document “Cash Receipt”; date, time, place of purchase (address of organization, store, kiosk, individual entrepreneur registration, store website, number and name of transport); information about the seller (TIN, name of organization, initials of the private enterprise, taxation regime); completed transactions (receipt, expense, return); information about the purchase, service, work (name, cost, number, including VAT, discounts and surcharges, VAT rate); method and amount of payment (cash, by card, electronic money); initials of the cashier who issued the PSC; information about the cash register (factory and registration numbers, fiscal sign), address of the OFD, website of the Federal Tax Service for checking the PO); information about the client (mobile number, e-mail); final information (mark about sending OFD information, QR code for check reconciliation) | Information regarding VAT may not be indicated in the following cases:
The cashier's initials are not written if the payment is made online or an automatic machine is used for payment; the Federal Tax Service website and client information are not recorded if the payment is made in a territory remote from communication networks (in accordance with the approved list of federal authorities); a fiscal indicator is needed for PSC, which is stored on a fiscal medium and sent to the OFD; Individual entrepreneurs who work on the simplified tax system, unified agricultural tax, UTII or use the patent system have the right not to indicate the name and number of products (works, services) in the PSC until 02/01/2021. The exception is for private entrepreneurs involved in the trade of excisable goods. |
All data in the PSC must be entered correctly. Thus, the name of the product must match the marking so that it can be unambiguously authenticated and recognized. It is noteworthy that a strict reporting form (SRF), which also performs the function of confirming payment, can replace a cash receipt when paying for work and services. BSOs are printed in a printing house and formed on the basis of a cash register. In fact, such a form is a type of PSC; they have identical requirements.
In particular, the BSO must include the series and circulation number, taxpayer data, location, name of the service, and signature of the issuing person. BSO is used in settlements with the population.
Basic requirements for a paper check
The cashier punches a cash receipt when the client makes a payment for a purchase (work, service), and this fiscal document is generated simultaneously in paper and electronic form. The requirements and the procedure for working with them do not differ and are subject to the same rules. A paper check is generated in the same way as its electronic sample:
- The client pays in cash or by card.
- The online cash register generates a receipt with the appropriate attributes.
- A paper version of the CSC is printed.
- Information about the completed transaction is recorded on fiscal media.
- Confirmation with fiscal data.
- Processing the PSC and transferring it to the OFD.
- Confirmation of the receipt of the receipt by the official registration document.
- Processing of received OFD data and forwarding them to tax authorities.
When carrying out return transactions (when the PSC indicates an erroneously inflated amount of revenue), a check is generated with the attribute “receipt return”.
Methods of sending an online cash register receipt to a client: advantages and disadvantages
Federal Law No. 54 obliges owners of online cash registers to forward checks to customers immediately. A delay of 5 minutes is considered a violation. A monthly downtime of the cash register, during which checks are not processed or sent at all, leads to its automatic blocking. To restore operation after this, you will need to re-register the cash register.
Options for sending PSC to the client’s mobile phone ore– mail | The predominant pros (cons) of the method of sending PSCs |
Independently (via Receipt notification); automatically (via the CloudPayments system); as an alternative, it is allowed to send the client data instead of the PSC: date, time, purchase amount, cash register registration number, fiscal attribute of the document, website where you can print the receipt yourself for free | It requires time and attention; for each receipt of money, you need to manually print a receipt and avoid mistakes; instant sending, no need to do anything manually; sending is carried out via SMS message, it also requires time to enter data |
An electronic version of the PSC is sent to the buyer at the time of purchase. If the payment is made by one command, then the check is generated immediately, if the payment is made in two stages, then at the moment the operation is confirmed. You can check the operation of the online cash register and receipt generation in test mode.
Checking and controlling the online cash register receipt
The Tax Service has developed and introduced a special mobile application, which allows verification of PSCs by the Federal Tax Service. The application accepts and stores an electronic version of the check. With its help, you can find out whether the PSC was sent to the tax authorities or not. You can do this in one of the following ways:
- Automatic: read QR code.
- Manually: enter the fiscal data of the PSC (No., amount, fiscal sign of the online cash register receipt, date, time, type of transaction performed).
As a result, a duplicate of the information about the completed purchase (paid service, work) that is on the original receipt will appear. In this way, the absence, presence, or inconsistencies of information are clarified, the legality of the seller’s work, and the presence of violations are revealed.
Common errors in online cash register receipts and principles for correcting them
In addition to electronic and paper cash receipt Entrepreneurs and owners of online cash registers often use correction checks in their work. This type of PSC is provided for by Federal Law No. 54 and is intended to correct errors indicated in the details of the amount of revenue. For example, the check contains an underestimated amount, which actually indicates unaccounted revenue. Any mistake made must be corrected immediately and before the end of the shift.
A corrective check is generated at the initiative of the cashier when an underestimated amount is detected, or by order of the tax office when unaccounted revenue is identified. It contains all the same information, only the amount is adjusted and must ultimately correspond to the amount of payment for the purchase. The name of the product and the buyer’s contacts (phone number, e-mail) are not written on the corrective receipt.
If you forgot to punch the CSC, then this is how you can solve the problem. First, the error is corrected, i.e. the amount of unaccounted revenue for the current day is broken down, then a statement is written to the tax authorities, informing them of the violation. From July 15, 2016, such “declared violators” are exempt from administrative liability.

Accordingly, when using such cash registers in work, regardless of the taxation system, the entrepreneur is obliged to issue PSCs, guided by the general rules.
In situations where cash registers are not used, BSOs, etc. are still issued. according to the old rules, without their subsequent transmission of the OFD via the Internet.
