Zero reporting for NPOs that do not carry out activities. Accounting financial statements of non-profit organizations: when and what we submit Simplified accounting statements for non-profit organizations




Tax period is the year (Article 285 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation),

B. VAT if there are movements on the account

You need to submit your VAT return in an updated form. Taxpayers, including those who are tax agents, as well as persons specified in clause 5 of Art. 173 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, are required to submit a corresponding tax return to the tax authorities at the place of their registration on time no later than the 20th day of the month following the expired tax period.

Tax period for VAT is a quarter (Article 163 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

D. 2-NDFL and 6-NDFL, if no payments were made to employees for the entire year

Even if an NPO does not carry out activities, it still retains a governing body, for example, a chairman. Usually in this case the chairman works without pay. But as our practice shows, non-payment of wages can cause claims from the inspection authorities. In this situation, we recommend concluding.

If persons working in an NPO do not receive wages or remuneration under civil contracts, then 2-NDFL and 6-NDFL reports do not need to be submitted (clause 2 of Article 230 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation (clause 2 of Article 230 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

But if an organization is afraid that its account may be blocked due to failure to submit zero reports, then it can be sent to the Federal Tax Service with a notification that the NPO is not a tax agent, and therefore should not provide 6-NDFL calculations.

D. Declaration of corporate property tax, land and transport tax

An organization that does not have property recognized as an object of taxation does not submit a declaration. Only taxpayers must submit a tax return for property tax, land and transport tax (Article 386 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, paragraph 1 of Article 388 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation and paragraph 1 of Article 357 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

E. Information on the average number of employees

If an NPO did not carry out work, this does not relieve it from the need to submit information. According to paragraph 3 of Art. 80 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, the taxpayer submits to the tax authority no later than January 20 of the current year information on the average number of employees for the previous calendar year in the form approved by order of the Federal Tax Service dated March 29, 2007 N MM-3-25/174@.

G. Accounting statements

The obligation to send financial statements to the tax authority at the location of the organization is fixed pp. 5 p. 1 art. 23 Tax Code of the Russian Federation. The annual accounting (financial) statements of a non-profit organization consist of a balance sheet, a report on the intended use of funds and appendices to them (clause 2 of article 14 Federal Law dated December 6, 2011 No. 402-FZ). Reporting is submitted to the tax authority at the location of the organization on time no later than three months after the end of the reporting year. Non-profit organizations that had no income or expenses during the reporting period can submit a zero report.

2. PENSION FUND

A. Form RSV-1 (since 2017, administrator of the Federal Tax Service)

Each policyholder must submit a calculation in form RSV-1 at the end of the reporting and settlement period (clause 1, part 9, article 15 of Law No. 212-FZ of July 24, 2009), even if there was no activity. The Ministry of Labor believes that such an obligation remains, even if the policyholder does not make payments to individuals. In other words, the reporting obligation is bound by the policyholder's status. An insurer is considered to be a person who employs people under an employment contract or who pays insurance premiums for persons working under a civil contract (Article 5 of the Federal Law of July 24, 1998 N 125-FZ). If there are no such people, then it is logical to assume that there is no obligation to provide reporting.

We sent inquiries to the Pension Fund and the Ministry of Labor regarding the case of the NGO “Mothers of the Kumya Region”, where the only permanent employee did not receive any wages, essentially doing volunteer work. The pension fund filed claims against the organization.

In response to our requests, as a general rule, it is necessary to conclude an employment contract with the chairman of the NPO. However, he did not rule out the possibility of selflessly performing work, providing services, or providing other support within the framework of civil law. The Ministry of Labor also emphasized that “the conditions for the implementation of these works can be enshrined in a civil contract.” Thus, the Ministry of Labor did not exclude the possibility of concluding employment contract, but an agreement for the gratuitous performance of services with the chairman. At the same time, the Ministry of Labor mentioned this possibility in passing, which indicates that the issue has not been thoroughly worked out at the ministry level. That is, in order to avoid claims from the Pension Fund, it is better to send a zero calculation.

B. Form SZV-M

A monthly report in the SZV-M form is submitted to the pension fund and contains a list of all employees. In the absence of activity and when concluding a civil contract with the chairman on the free performance of their duties, in our opinion, it is not necessary to submit this monthly report.

The Pension Fund of the Russian Federation indicated in its letter: the question of the need to submit public associations who are policyholders of compulsory pension insurance, reporting in the SZV-M form depends on the fact of the presence or absence of labor or civil law relations between public associations and their participants, based on labor or civil law contracts for payments, for which accrued and paid in PFR insurance contributions for compulsory pension insurance. In the absence of such formalization of relations, public associations do not submit reports in the SZV-M form for such persons.

Please note that in this letter the Pension Fund indicates that “for such persons” there is no need to submit reports. But he does not write that reports do not need to be submitted at all. Therefore, in this case it would be better to send zero reporting.

3. SOCIAL INSURANCE FUND

A. Form 4-FSS

The situation with reporting to the Social Insurance Fund is the same as with reporting to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation. If there is a manager who works for the benefit of the organization for free, then we recommend concluding an appropriate civil law agreement. If you are guaranteed not to have any claims from the Social Insurance Fund, then it is better to submit a zero report. Please note that as of January 1, 2017, a new form for passing 4-FSS was introduced.

B. Confirmation of the main activity

Lack of activity does not relieve the obligation to confirm the main type. To do this, before April 15, you must submit to the FSS:

  • application for confirmation of the main type economic activity;
  • certificate confirming the main type of economic activity;
  • a copy of the explanatory note to the balance sheet for the previous year.

4. Rosstat

Organizations must submit annual financial statements to Rosstat. As we indicated above, the annual accounting (financial) statements of a non-profit organization consist of a balance sheet, a report on the intended use of funds and appendices to them (clause 2 of article 14 of the Federal Law of December 6, 2011 No. 402-FZ).

Moreover, Russian legal entities, including NPOs, obliged provide primary statistical data to Rosstat. You can find out more about what data this is and when it needs to be submitted by filling out the form on the website http://statreg.gks.ru/. As a rule, each organization needs to submit a dozen forms, and at different times.

5. Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation

The legislation defines different reporting compositions for

  • public associations
  • all other NPOs
  • NPOs included in the register Not commercial organizations performing the functions of a “foreign agent”.

A. Public associations

Even if there was no activity, you need to submit a report on form OH0003 and a letter of continuation of activity,

B. Other NPOs (except “foreign agents”)

There are two options here. The first is intended for non-profit organizations that have at least one of the following criteria:

In this case, the NPO places on the website of the Ministry of Justice a statement/notice about the continuation of activities, as well as statement that the NPO does not have any of the above criteria. Deadline: April 15 of the year following the reporting year.

The charitable organization additionally submits to the Russian Ministry of Justice a report on its activities containing information about:

Please note:

In the currently valid regulatory documents (standards), a specific list of applications for the accounting statements of non-profit organizations is not clearly defined.

3. A non-profit organization has the right to conduct business activities if this is provided for by its Charter. Information on income from business activities is reflected in the Report on the intended use of funds in the line “Profit from income-generating activities.”

If a number of conditions are met, information on income from business activities should be disclosed separately in the reporting, i.e. In addition, a financial performance report must be prepared.

For reference:

Information of the Ministry of Finance of Russia No. PZ-10/2012 “On the entry into force of the Federal Law of December 6, 2011 No. 402-FZ “On Accounting” on January 1, 2013 says the following :

“A non-profit organization provides in its accounting (financial) statements indicators on individual income and expenses (financial results) separately in relation to the form and procedure for drawing up a statement of financial results in the case when:

- in the reporting year, this non-profit organization received income from entrepreneurial and (or) other income-generating activities;

- the indicator of income received by the non-profit organization is significant;

- disclosure of data on profits from business and (or) other income-generating activities in the Report on the intended use of funds is not enough to form a complete picture of the financial position of a non-profit organization, the financial results of its activities and changes in its financial position;

- without knowledge of the indicator of income received by interested users, it is impossible to assess the financial position of a non-profit organization and the financial results of its activities.”

Thus, if there is a business activity, the income from which is significant, the NPO must additionally prepare a financial performance report.

When preparing financial statements, non-profit organizations are guided by the following regulatory documents:

  • Regulations on accounting and financial reporting in the Russian Federation No. 34n
  • Accounting Regulations “Accounting Statements of an Organization” PBU 4/99
  • Chart of accounts for financial and economic activities of organizations and Instructions for its application
  • Order of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation dated July 2, 2010 N 66n “On the forms of financial statements of organizations” and other regulatory legal acts on accounting.

(Information of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation dated January 17, 2012 “On the peculiarities of the formation of financial statements of non-profit organizations (PZ-1/2011)”)

Based on the provisions of PBU 4/94, non-profit organizations are not required to disclose information on the presence and changes in the authorized capital, reserve capital and other components of the organization’s capital (Report on changes in capital) as part of their financial statements.

In accordance with the Regulations on Accounting and Financial Reporting No. 34n, non-profit organizations may not submit a Cash Flow Report.

At the same time, based on the provisions of paragraphs 6, 11 of PBU 4/99, if it is necessary to provide reporting users with additional data that is necessary for reporting users to assess the financial position and performance of the NPO, such data is disclosed in the Explanations to the reporting.

CONCLUSIONS:

1. In accordance with paragraph 2 of Art. 14 of the Federal Law “On Accounting” No. 402-FZ dated December 6, 2011 (as amended, supplemented), non-profit organizations must include:

  • Balance sheet
  • Report on the intended use of funds received.
  • Applications to them

2. In current standards composition of the Applications to the Balance Sheet and the Report on the intended use of funds is not defined, it follows that the composition and content of the annexes to these mandatory reporting forms must be determined by the organization independently in the Accounting Policy.

3. Under certain conditions of economic activity, non-profit organizations must, in addition to the Balance Sheet and the Report on the intended use of funds received, submit a Report on Financial Results as part of the financial statements.

4. Cash flow statement optional for annual financial statements of non-profit organizations, however, ODDS may be included in reporting.

5. If other indicators of the NPO’s activities are significant, the necessary explanations can be given in free form in text and/or tabular form.


As a general rule, a nonprofit organization does not prepare financial statements. This follows from the law on accounting, however, in some cases, a non-profit organization is obliged to draw up and submit a report on financial results to the tax authority. This occurs when a non-profit organization has received income that does not fall under the concept of targeted financing or targeted revenues for the maintenance of a non-profit organization, which are given in Article 251 of the Tax Code - “Income not taken into account when determining the tax base.”

A report on the intended use of funds does not provide a complete picture of the financial position of a non-profit organization, financial performance and changes in financial position. Without interested users of financial statements knowing the indicators of income received, it is impossible to assess the financial position and financial results of a non-profit organization.

As stated in information letter No. PZ-10/2012 of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation published on December 4, 2012, if in the reporting year a non-profit organization received income from entrepreneurial and other income-generating activities, it is required to prepare a statement of financial results. The amount of income generated by a non-profit organization is significant.

Paragraph 18 of Section 5 “Disclosure of Information in Financial Statements” of PBU 9/99 “Income of the Organization” states the following: “Revenue, other income, revenue from goods, works, services, amounting to 5 percent or more of the total income of the organization for the reporting period , are shown for each type separately.” For this PBU, the organization’s income recognizes an increase in economic benefits as a result of the receipt of assets, cash, other property and the repayment of liabilities that lead to an increase in capital. The receipt of targeted funds does not increase capital.

The information letter of the Ministry of Finance No. PZ-1/2011 states that a non-profit organization, based on its operating conditions, as well as the requirements of the legislation of the Russian Federation, independently decides on the materiality of a particular indicator, taking into account its assessment and the nature of the specific circumstances of its occurrence. The level of materiality of the indicator is fixed in the accounting policy.

The accounting policy not only indicates the level of materiality (for example, 5%), but also determines the value from which this 5% is calculated so that the calculation principle is clear to everyone, including auditors. In the explanatory note, indicate the procedure for calculating the materiality of the indicator. But do not forget that there are other forms of reporting that detail the financial result, so you should not make this indicator very low.

    When assessing the materiality of financial reporting indicators that are subject to separate presentation, an amount that is more than 10 percent of the corresponding section of the balance sheet for the reporting period is considered material.

    An indicator is considered significant if it exceeds 10% of the balance sheet currency (line 1600 or 1700 of the balance sheet).

    An indicator is considered significant if it exceeds 10% of the “Targeted financing” section of the balance sheet as of the reporting date.

    The indicator is considered significant and is presented separately in the balance sheet and income statement. Non-disclosure of the indicator affects the economic decisions of interested users made on the basis of reporting information. When detailing financial reporting items, an amount of 10% or more of the reporting item is considered significant.

How not to write definitions of the materiality of an indicator:

    An indicator of more than 5% is considered significant.

    When assessing the materiality of financial reporting indicators that are subject to separate presentation, an amount is considered significant if its ratio to the total of the relevant data for the reporting period is at least 5 percent.

What are non-profit organizations

The main difference between a non-profit organization and a for-profit organization is its fundamental purpose. The goal of a commercial company is to extract the maximum possible amount of profit.

Non-profit organizations do not pursue the goal of making a profit. This is reflected in Art. 50 Civil Code of the Russian Federation. In their activities, they must first of all be guided by the Civil Code of the Russian Federation and the Law “On Non-Profit Organizations” dated January 12, 1996 No. 7-FZ.

As in commercial structures, the types of activities of a non-profit organization are fixed in its constituent documentation. The activities carried out by such an organization must correspond to the purpose of its creation and operation. Non-profit organizations are founded for the state to implement its functions in the social sphere, education, medicine, and culture. They also conduct religious, charitable and other activities. Non-profit organizations can also be created in the form of associations of citizens and legal entities to solve common problems.

Non-profit organizations can also engage in entrepreneurial activities that generate income. For example, educational institutions may provide additional paid services. But such activities should not contradict the main purpose of the organization. It must also be stated in the constituent documents, for example in the charter. Accounting for income received from the results of such activities is carried out separately from the main one. Legislation may establish certain restrictions on its conduct by certain types of non-profit organizations.

Financial support for non-profit structures is possible in the form of:

  • income from founders or participants;
  • charitable contributions/voluntary donations;
  • income from business activities;
  • income from the organization’s property, for example, from renting out premises;
  • other income permitted by law.

Read about what distinguishes accounting conducted in a non-profit organization in the material “Features and tasks of accounting in non-commercial organizations” .

Forms of non-profit organizations

The Civil Code of the Russian Federation specifies several organizational and legal forms of enterprises that are created on a non-profit basis:

  1. Consumer cooperatives (unions, societies).
    It is generally accepted that such enterprises are formed only for commercial purposes. However, in the non-profit sphere, they can be organized with the purpose of bringing together individuals and legal entities to meet the needs of their members and solve common problems. For example, housing cooperatives, citizen credit societies, gardening and dacha associations, agricultural unions, etc.
    Financing of such organizations is carried out at the expense of participants by contributing shares.
  2. Funds.
    They exist through voluntary contributions from citizens and legal entities. Foundations pursue goals that are beneficial to the whole society: educational, social, cultural. Charitable organizations often operate in the form of foundations.
  3. Public and religious organizations.
    These are voluntary unions and associations of citizens with common interests and intangible (for example, spiritual) needs. Such associations can also function in the form of an institution, a social movement, or a foundation. The founders can be individuals, legal entities, or their associations.
  4. Associations of legal entities (associations, unions).
    They are created to coordinate commercial enterprises and protect them, as well as common interests. The constituent documentation is the constituent agreement, signed by all participants of the association, and the charter. Upon joining such an association, the independence of each member is preserved.
  5. Institutions.
    These include organizations created by the founder(s) to carry out educational, social, cultural and managerial functions. In this case, institutions can be either fully funded by the founders or partially. To conduct their activities, institutions can attract charitable contributions from legal entities and individuals.

What kind of financial statements do non-profit organizations submit?

When preparing financial statements of non-profit organizations in 2018-2019, you must be guided by:

  • Regulations on maintaining accounting and financial statements in the Russian Federation, approved by order of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated July 29, 1998 No. 34n;
  • accounting chart of accounts and instructions for its use;
  • Order of the Ministry of Finance of Russia “On the forms of financial statements of organizations” dated 07/02/2010 No. 66n, etc.

It is also useful to familiarize yourself with the latest information from the Russian Ministry of Finance “On the peculiarities of the formation of financial statements of non-profit organizations” (PZ-1/2015).

According to paragraph 4 of Art. 6 of Law No. 402-FZ, non-profit organizations can submit reports using the simplified form KND 0710096, which includes:

  • balance sheet (OKUD 0710001);

On our website you will learn how to fill it out correctly using the article “Procedure for drawing up a balance sheet (example)” .

IMPORTANT! As of 06/01/2019, updated simplified reporting forms approved by Order of the Ministry of Finance dated 04/19/2019 No. 61n are in effect. According to these amendments, all indicators should be entered in thousands of rubles, because unit of measurement "million rubles" and the code "385" denoting it are excluded. In addition, instead of OKVED, OKVED 2 is in effect, and in the report on the intended use of funds, the OKUD code has been corrected from 0710006 to 071003.

You can download the updated forms of the simplified balance sheet, income statement and report on the intended use of funds using the link below.

The electronic format for submitting simplified reporting was sent by letter of the Federal Tax Service dated July 16, 2018 No. PA-4-6/13687@.

At the same time, such organizations can present financial statements in full. The decision is made by the organization independently.

Non-profit organizations may not submit a cash flow statement (OKUD 0710004) unless they are required to do so by law. For example, in accordance with paragraph 5 of Art. 12 of the Law “On the Fund for Assistance to the Reform of Housing and Communal Services” dated July 21, 2007 No. 185-FZ, the annual reporting of the Fund for Assistance to Reform of Housing and Communal Services includes a cash flow report, a report on the results of investing temporarily free funds of the fund, and a report on the execution of the fund’s budget. According to PBU 4/99, non-profit organizations are not required to disclose information about changes in capital in their reporting (OKUD 0710003).

Non-profit organizations that do not conduct business activities and do not have sales turnover can represent accounts. reporting in a simplified form once a year. It will also consist of a balance sheet, an income statement and a report on the intended use of funds. Religious organizations that do not have obligations to pay taxes may not submit accounting reports.

A non-profit organization can develop a tabular form of explanations for the balance sheet and financial statements independently. According to the Accounting Regulations, non-profit structures can independently establish the detail of indicators for accounting items and determine the level of their materiality.

Read about how the accounting policy of a non-profit organization is formed in this material.

Accounting financial statements of socially oriented non-profit organizations

For the first time, mention of socially oriented non-profit organizations appeared in the law “On amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation on the issue of supporting socially oriented non-profit organizations” dated 04/05/2010 No. 40-FZ. These include:

  • public and religious organizations;
  • Cossack societies;
  • autonomous non-profit organizations;
  • societies of indigenous and small peoples in the Russian Federation;
  • organizations whose activities are aimed at solving social problems, issues and helping citizens (for example, providing legal assistance to citizens, supporting the population after natural disasters and catastrophes, protecting environment, protection and restoration of cultural sites, burial sites, etc.).

Socially oriented non-profit organizations can submit accounting reports using a simplified form.

Results

The procedure for submitting financial statements of non-profit organizations in 2019 is somewhat different from that for commercial enterprises. Non-profit organizations have the right to submit financial statements in a simplified form, as well as independently determine the detail of its articles and the level of materiality. From June 1, 2019, updated accounting forms must be used.

Plus, some NPOs rent out Income statement . This should be done when:

  • The NGO received significant income from business activities;
  • It is impossible to assess the financial position of an NPO without an indicator of the income received.

In all other cases, the NPO reflects data from business activities in the report on intended use in the line “Profit from income-generating activities.” But if this is not enough to reflect the financial position of the nonprofit, submit an income statement.
