Cancellation of alcohol declaration in the year. Cancellation of declarations for alcoholic products will become real

2017-05-12 20:02:56

The abolition of declarations for companies operating in the alcohol market, planned for October 2016, is getting closer: the Ministry of Finance has begun to prepare the corresponding amendments. However, market participants fear that only large players working with EGAIS will be able to free themselves from paperwork, while small businesses, for whom declaration is the most expensive, will retain this form of reporting.

The Ministry of Finance is preparing amendments to 171-FZ on state regulation of alcohol, abolishing the mandatory declaration of production and turnover alcoholic products. This follows from the ministry’s letter to Support Russia.

It says that the cancellation of declaration will affect those manufacturers, distributors and retailers of alcohol who record the relevant information in the Unified State Automated Information System. The Ministry of Finance clarified that the norms necessary for this were included in the bill of Senator Sergei Ryabukhin, which has already passed the first reading in the State Duma. The bill was developed to eliminate duplication of data recorded by the Unified State Automated Information System, the ministry noted. Earlier, Deputy Minister of Finance Ilya Trunin stated that paper declarations are not necessary if information at all stages is transferred to the Unified State Automated Information System. “And this applies not only to beer,” he emphasized.

The abolition of declarations for alcoholic products should have taken place in October last year, as follows from the Strategy for the Development of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises until 2030 (approved by the government in July 2016). Filing declarations is the most burdensome for small and medium-sized businesses, emphasizes Aleksey Nebolsin, member of the Presidium of Support of Russia. According to him, a small brewery has to spend 30-50 thousand rubles. per month for the maintenance or attraction of the necessary specialist. Earlier, Opora contacted Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev with a request to speed up the process of canceling the declaration. Then the organization emphasized that providing declarations on the volume of production and retail sales of alcohol is an excessive form of reporting, since all necessary information already contained in EGAIS.

EGAIS for alcohol producers began operating in 2006. Ten years later, from January 1 last year, wholesalers were connected to it, and from July 1 - retail operators.

As Mr. Nebolsin reminds, breweries and producers of cider, poire and mead record data on their products using counters included in the EGAIS system. Those who produce less than 300 thousand dal of such drinks per year report on their products using declarations, entering data into the Unified State Automated Information System only at the stage wholesale goods. “Therefore, we fear that the cancellation of declarations will only occur for sufficiently large enterprises, for whom it is not as burdensome as for small ones,” says Alexey Nebolsin.

In general, the declaration did not solve any problems in the alcohol market, said Vadim Drobiz, director of CIFRRA. “Now it is all the more unnecessary, since even if the Unified State Automated Information System is available, no one uses the information contained in the declarations anyway,” the expert argues. He emphasizes that eliminating declarations will free up labor not only in business, but also in regulatory agencies.

Declarations for alcohol or beer- this is one of the types of reporting that is submitted individual entrepreneurs and organizations in the Federal Service Rosalkogolregulirovanie.
Such requirements were established by Federal Law 171-FZ in 2012. Additional regulations establish the procedure, deadlines, rules and forms for submitting declarations.

• Retail stores– both forms of declarations are also submitted; if there is no license to sell alcohol, only the beer declaration is submitted.
• Individual entrepreneurs– Individual entrepreneurs cannot obtain a license to sell alcohol; they can only sell beer and drinks based on it. Accordingly, only the beer declaration is submitted.

Cancellation of declarations to FSRAR

Participants in the alcohol market hoped that the arrival of the EGAIS system would cancel the submission of declarations on alcohol and beer. Why submit declarations if FSRAR sees purchases and sales of alcohol in real time through the EGAIS retail system.

July 29, 2017 Federal law 278-FZ amendments were made to 171-FZ, one of the points was made to amend the issue of submitting declarations.

For retail stores that record alcohol sales in EGAIS through cash registers, alcohol declaration canceled from the 1st quarter of 2018, but the beer declaration remained.

The cancellation of submission of declarations did not affect catering establishments, as well as organizations and individual entrepreneurs that sell only beer. Because these participants do not record sales data in EGAIS. The declaration remains in full.

FSRAR is in no hurry to completely cancel declarations. This type of reporting will be relevant until order is completely restored in the EGAIS system, and market participants are not accustomed to proper operation in the system.

Already on January 15, EGAIS will be updated regarding the processing of acts of placing alcohol on the balance sheet and writing off for retail sales. However, many users have not yet fully understood some points. We offer answers to the most popular questions from representatives of the catering industry.

General questions

Why can't you write off alcohol without a scanner?

From January 15, write-off acts during sales will be controlled availability of brand. If it is not available, RAR will send a refusal. That is, for public catering, the same rules for controlling duplicates will apply as for retail.

Pay attention! The new requirements are not dependent on revolutions. This means that absolutely everyone, even the smallest sales points, will have to acquire a scanner.

All catering establishments selling alcohol will need a scanner.

Will I need to scan the goods upon acceptance?

From July 1, products will be entered into invoices by marking, and electronic documents Each position will have its own code. However, there is no requirement to scan the invoice. Although PAP recommends checking the batch in this way upon acceptance.

What products are subject to the requirement?

Only for strong alcohol. If a store sells beer and similar drinks (cider, mead, poire), then nothing will change for it in terms of scanning.

Accounting and reporting issues

Is it necessary to submit an alcohol declaration once a quarter in 2018, as before? FSRAR was going to cancel the declaration.

Yes, as long as order is maintained. Most likely, reporting will be canceled in 2019.

Officials promise to abolish reporting to the RAR in 2019

Should there be a correspondence of data between the declaration sent to the RAR, the actual balances and information in the Unified State Automated Information System?

As for catering, there will be no compliance. The fact is that in the declaration, sales are reflected in portions, whereas in the Unified State Automated Information System the entire bottle is taken into account at once. That's why the lack of an exact correspondence between the specified data in catering establishments is the norm.

Should the data in the sales journal and write-off acts in the Unified State Automated Information System (EGAI) be the same?

If we are talking about an electronic sales journal in personal account EGAIS, then such compliance will be maintained automatically. After all, it is formed on the basis of the data contained in the . But the sales journal, which is kept on paper or in a commodity accounting system, can be filled out at different times:

• when opening a transport container (box);
• when opening the bottle.

In the first case, discrepancies cannot be avoided. RAR gives the following explanation on this matter: data electronic journal in the EGAIS LC and the “paper” sales journal may not coincide. The journal in your personal account is, in fact, a type of report generated based on information transmitted to the Unified State Automated Information System. The priority is always the journal that the seller maintains independently. It must still be completed and, if necessary, submitted for review.

Technical issues

How is the mechanism for protecting against the re-sale of a bottle of alcohol implemented?

If you focus on how it works in retail, the system is like this:

• the cashier reads the data from the stamp;
• they enter the RAR (if there is a connection) and are checked against already available information;
• If a bottle with these parameters was previously sold, a warning will appear stating that it cannot be sold.

If at the time of contacting EGAIS there are communication interruptions, the sale will go through. After the connection is restored, data about it will be transferred to EGAIS, and the fact of re-implementation will emerge. In this case, you will have to figure out why this happened and explain it to Rosalkogolregulirovanie.

In public catering, most likely, it will be a little simpler. If you try to send a write-off report that contains a previously used barcode, EGAIS will refuse. It will be explained that the reason for this is the code already used.

Pay attention! The RAR has not yet confirmed that the protection will be implemented in this way. There is a small chance that a protection mechanism will not be provided at all. This means that when sending the write-off act there will be no check - the document will go to EGAIS in any case. And in the event of a re-sale, PAP will later report that the previously sold bottle was written off.

Scanning of alcoholic products during sales

Are there any particularities in choosing a scanner? How to connect it?

There are no special features. Any 2D scanner that recognizes pdf-417 and datamatrix barcodes will do.

It is not a complicated procedure. As a rule, simply connecting it to the cash register is enough.

Will the update require any action from the user?

No, in general, the EGAIS update will occur automatically. If technical problems arise, you will need to update the system manually.

Why can’t I write off an open bottle using FB-*****?

The given code is non-unique - it contains only information about the batch of alcohol. The idea behind the update is to move away from tracking the fate of the party go to tracking a specific bottle by its brand.

Special situations

How should nightclubs write off alcohol, given that alcohol is sold in large volumes?

Be that as it may, it is necessary to comply with the requirements of the law. And they are as follows: all bottles opened during the day must be written off by the end of the shift of the next working day.

This can be done in two ways:

1. During the day, the bartender marks each open bottle, and at the end of the shift, all marked bottles are written off.
2. Before the alcohol is shipped from the warehouse to the club, bottles are scanned and written off. This option is possible in cases where it is clear in advance how much alcohol will be consumed per shift.

Sometimes the question arises about the legitimacy of the second option. Theoretically, inspectors can question it, because bottles are not opened when actual sale. But in practice, most often this method does not raise any questions - inspectors understand that alcohol sells out very quickly in a nightclub. It is more advisable for clubs to use this method - although it is a little risky, it significantly simplifies the accounting of alcohol.

In clubs, it is very difficult to account for alcohol in portions

Pay attention! You cannot use this approach to writing off products in a warehouse! FSRAR will immediately see that the newly received products have been written off. This can be seen by comparing the date of acceptance confirmation and the date of the write-off act, as well as by comparing the product items in these documents. As a result, a fine will follow, since such a write-off violates the rules. After all, quite a lot of time can pass from the receipt of goods to the warehouse to their sale to the consumer.

Why can’t all bottles be scanned and written off at once?

Introducing new order reflecting data on sales in public catering, PAP incorporated a certain logic into it. It consists in the fact that the bottle must be uncorked at the time of sale. This is due to the ban on the sale of takeaway alcohol in public catering. Theoretically, of course, you can open and write off all the stocks at once, and then leave them to wait in the wings. But this contradicts the requirements of the RAR. And as mentioned above, the service easily monitors such moments and assigns fines.

Did visitors to the establishment order a whole bottle of alcohol? How to register a sale correctly?

In accordance with Law 171-FZ, alcohol can be served in public catering after first opening the bottle. Accordingly, you need to scan and open it at the checkout, and then send the write-off report. Or, as an option, the stamp can be photographed, and after sale, scanned and written off.

Alcoholic drinks can be sold in bars, restaurants, cafes and clubs only by the glass

What happens if you sell a bottle without scanning it? That is, alcohol was sold to take away.

In this case, this bottle will hang on the remains. There will be a discrepancy between the actual balance and what is listed in the system. This is a violation - you will have to explain it to the RAR. Perhaps they will accommodate you and help you write off the bottle without a fine.

Currently the most important topic for subjects retail is EGAIS. It has become relevant ever since the bill on the introduction of the Unified State Automated Information System was just being developed.

Now EGAIS is actively entering our lives, making this very life easier for some, and for others this system is like a bone in the throat. What is the essence of EGAIS, and what changes will come into force in 2018? So, in this article we will try to explain the need for such a system as best as possible and tell you what innovations will be present in the Unified State Automated Information System in 2018.

Above you could already read the transcript of EGAIS. This is a state automated information system. But it’s better to say in other words - this is a huge database that contains huge amount information regarding alcoholic products on the territory of the Russian Federation. At the same time, alcohol can either be produced within the country or be imported.

Of course, the EGAIS database contains not only the name of alcoholic beverages - it also contains the composition, percentage of strength, volume and, of course, information about the manufacturer.

EGAIS represents a tool for controlling the circulation of alcoholic beverages in our country. It is this system that should help fight counterfeit goods, the number of which may increase due to. Using EGAIS, you can observe the entire cycle of the so-called “path” of a single bottle of alcohol from the manufacturer or importer to the consumer: Importer/Producer–Distributor–Retail store–Final buyer.

If we talk about the goals of introducing EGAIS into Russian realities, there are a lot of them. But, nevertheless, the most important thing can be highlighted - a significant reduction in counterfeit alcohol products. If we take into account the known data that counterfeiting of this type of product is about 35% in Russia, then the shortfall financial resources into the country's budget has a truly large scale.

The system in action

Let's start with the fact that any manufacturer's excise stamp that can be found on a bottle of alcohol carries certain information, consisting of letters and numbers. We see a barcode that reveals information about the manufacturer, composition, date of import or release, as well as the time and location of the spill.

The code also encrypts other unique characteristics of any bottle. The same information is recorded by the manufacturer or importer in the EGAIS alcohol products accounting system.

To better understand how it all works, imagine the following. A buyer in a store takes a bottle of alcohol and heads to the cash register, where the cashier is required to read the barcode imprinted on the bottle using a special scanner.

Important note: the scanner located at the checkout must necessarily read the 2D barcode, because the PDF417 code, which is currently used to mark alcohol, is not the simplest and not every scanner can provide the ability to read such a code. Also, the 2D scanner must be equipped with image scanning technology.

Now the information that the scanner read will go into the cash register software. Next, the information is transferred to the EGAIS software module. Thanks to the electronic signature software key, the data is encrypted and transferred to the EGAIS system. All information obtained using the scanner and encrypted with a cryptokey is kept by Federal service on regulation of the alcohol market.

After purchasing alcohol, the buyer receives from the cashier a receipt containing a 2D barcode confirming that the fact of sale has been recorded in the EGAIS system. Even if the quantity of alcohol purchased exceeds one bottle, only one code will be printed on the receipt.

Using a smartphone and special program, the buyer himself will be able to verify the authenticity of the purchased alcohol. But, if you follow the logic, the latter should not make sense, since in case of counterfeit, the barcode is simply not considered by the scanner at the checkout and the system will block the sale of counterfeit products.

But for a retailer, work in the EGAIS system begins with the delivery of the order itself. When receiving alcohol from a supplier, the retailer must check the actual number of bottles with the data specified in the paper and electronic invoice. If the information matches, you need to load all the data on the alcoholic products received into the cash register program installed in accordance with all the requirements of the Unified State Automated Information System.

Terms of connection to the EGAIS system

In 2018, changes in the alcohol retail system will cover the entire industry. That is, by January 1, 2018, all organizations and entrepreneurs carrying out retail sales and the purchase of alcoholic beverages.

It should be noted that now alcohol declaration for retail trade still remains. But it will be abolished in 2018, when the Unified State Automated Information System becomes fully operational at all enterprises that distribute alcohol.

From January 1, 2018, a new order will apply to organizations selling alcoholic beverages at retail in Crimean villages and Sevastopol. Also, from January 1, all private entrepreneurs who purchase beer drinks, cider and the like must connect to EGAIS if they pursue the goal of further selling these products at retail in the villages of Crimea and Sevastopol.

The Federal Tax Service (FTS) intends to take the second step after the launch of online cash registers, which will allow us to abandon the declaration mechanism for working with companies. This will significantly simplify document flow, make the need to maintain a large staff of accountants a thing of the past and increase the efficiency of the system as a whole. Deputy head of the department Daniil Egorov reported this to Izvestia, who emphasized that this is a prospect for the distant future. The Federal Tax Service can implement the revolutionary plan through the use of advanced blockchain technology (a decentralized database on which, for example, the Bitcoin cryptocurrency operates).

As Daniil Egorov said, the transition to a non-declaration mechanism will be the next and strategic step after online cash registers, which will be launched in 2018. Blockchain technology allows you to create distributed data storage systems with identification of each user and secure access.

The press service of the Federal Tax Service explained that blockchain technology is not an alternative to filing declarations.

Currently, the technology is being studied by the service, but it is necessary to understand that the use of blockchain in government agencies is possible only after specific software solutions are included in the register of Russian software of the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications and certification by the FSB or FSTEC of Russia, they emphasized.

The deputy head of the Federal Tax Service said that the current scheme is cumbersome and creates a lot of inconvenience for all its participants.

Taxpayers enter into transactions, carry out operations, document it, enter it into their computers, make entries, then enter everything into analytics, then into synthetics, then into declarations, then hand it over to us, and we begin to reverse engineer it all,” explained Daniil Egorov. the complexity of the current process of exchanging information with the tax authorities. - Now let’s assume a situation where we can smoothly, accurately, and automatically check the data that comes to us at the tax office. And this data begins to be checked not when it arrives to us, but when it is generated on board the taxpayer.

According to Daniil Egorov, if the tax office gets access to primary data, then there will be no need to file declarations.

If we use such a model, then the tax office will simply collate the data itself, and the taxpayer will confirm it. This is a breakthrough in terms of control development,” he added.

In mid-summer, a law was passed to launch online cash registers in 2018. Transition to this cash register equipment for newly registered equipment it is provided from February 1, 2017, for currently used equipment - from July 1, 2017. Those who now have the right not to use cash registers must register an online cash register by July 1, 2018. In accordance with the adopted law, the buyer or recipient of the service will be able to receive a check not only in paper, but also in electronic form.

In addition, it has been working since last year automated system control over the collection of VAT - ASK VAT-2. All VAT tax returns are submitted electronically, the book of purchases and sales is included as an appendix to the declaration, and all tax reporting condensed into data centers. VAT declarations are subject to automated desk processing tax audit, as a result of which taxpayers who made errors receive requests to provide explanations on control ratios or discrepancies in invoice data.

ASK VAT-2 allows you to compare buyer and seller invoice data and build chains of counterparties.

Refusal of declarations is an ambitious and complex project, the success of which depends primarily not on technological solutions, but on political will and the speed of obtaining all the necessary approvals from various structures and departments, says Marketing Director of BCS Broker Ruslan Smirnov.

In the event that the authorities really decide to radically improve the efficiency of the tax accounting system, which is quite reasonable, since with the help of blockchain you can significantly save on data administration, as well as ensure that any checks and audits are carried out in real time, technology partners will be found very quickly, The market already has a number of companies that can provide similar services to large public and private structures,” he continues.

Ruslan Smirnov recalled that blockchain technology is already used by the National Agency for Registration of Business Entities of Georgia and the back office of Citibank.

Although at the beginning of the year it seemed that the issues of blockchain implementation would only be relevant in a few years, noted Ruslan Smirnov.

Co-Chairman " Business Russia» Anton Danilov-Danilyan agrees that this will help businesses reduce costs, because connecting the accounting department to the Federal Tax Service service is cheaper than having a whole staff of accountants preparing reports for the tax office.

For conscientious entrepreneurs, the days when it makes sense to hide something from the tax office are long gone. Therefore, conscientious entrepreneurs will, of course, be interested in this; it will reduce costs,” he believes.

At the same time, Anton Danilov-Danilyan sees two circumstances that could delay the use of blockchain. This is the need to spend more time developing existing technologies for the electronic exchange of tax information, as well as to agree with the Central Bank on the possibilities of using blockchain.

The press service of the Central Bank noted that distributed ledger technology is not prohibited Russian legislation and its application is at the discretion of the companies or departments themselves. The Bank of Russia itself is not against using blockchain. On Thursday, the regulator announced the launch of a prototype “masterchain” (a system for exchanging information between participants in the banking market).

An official representative of the Ministry of Finance told Izvestia that the idea deserves attention.

It is necessary to evaluate the effectiveness and technical capabilities of its implementation,” he added.
