Registering a cash register with the tax office: step-by-step instructions, a sample of filling out an application for registering a cash register (form according to KND 1110061)

Amendments made to Federal Law No. 54-FZ dated May 22, 2003 “On the use of cash register equipment” affected not only the timing of the acquisition and registration of online cash registers by organizations and individual entrepreneurs, but also the very procedure for registering them with the tax authorities organ Before using cash register equipment, it must be registered with the Federal Tax Service. This procedure is not complicated, let's look at it in more detail.

Online cash registers are an improved version of the previous cash register, which has a fiscal drive and automatically transmits data to the tax authority. When choosing a device, you should take into account the requirements of the Federal Tax Service for cash register equipment, as well as the availability of the model in the State Register.

A prerequisite for using an online cash register is the existence of an agreement with the fiscal data operator. This is a legal requirement - clause 4 of article 7 of the Federal Law of July 3, 2016 No. 290-FZ, which is mandatory for all organizations and individual entrepreneurs purchasing cash register equipment and registering it with the tax authority. All operators are contained in the list, which is located on the official website of the Federal Tax Service at.

The CCP registration process is carried out in one of the convenient ways:

submitting an application to the inspectorate personally or through a representative who has a notarized power of attorney for this;
sending to the tax authority by post with notification, enclosing an inventory;
by filling out an electronic form on the official website of the Federal Tax Service.

When an LLC has the right not to use a cash register

When it comes to the use of cash registers by commercial organizations, it is easier to start with exceptions, because there are not many of them.

The cash register is not used in non-cash payments between organizations and individual entrepreneurs (through a current account). But if settlements with counterparties are made in cash or by card, then a cash receipt must be issued.
When selling some goods and services:

paper newspapers and magazines;
related products in newsstands, if the share of sales of newspapers and magazines is at least 50% of turnover;
securities;
providing meals to students and employees of educational organizations implementing basic general education programs during school hours;
ice cream in kiosks;
soft drinks, milk, bottled drinking water;
retail shoe covers;
peddling trade, except for technically complex goods; subject to mandatory labeling; food products requiring certain storage and sale conditions;
trade at retail markets, fairs, exhibitions, if the trading place does not ensure the safety of the goods (except for non-food products from the List);
kvass, milk, vegetable oil, live fish, kerosene from tank trucks;
seasonal trade in vegetables, fruits and melons;
acceptance of glassware and waste materials from the population, except scrap metal, precious metals and stones;
shoe repair and painting;
production and repair of metal haberdashery and keys;
supervision and care of children, the sick, the elderly and disabled;
sale by the manufacturer of folk arts and crafts products;
plowing gardens and sawing firewood;
porter services at train stations and ports.

Please note that the sale of tickets for public transport in the vehicle cabin has disappeared from the list of Article 2 of Law No. 54-FZ. That is, from July 1, 2021, CCP must be used for passenger transportation. However, fines for non-use of cash registers by drivers and conductors in vehicle interiors will not be imposed for another year - until July 1, 2021 (Law No. 171-FZ dated July 3, 2019).

Pharmacy organizations located in rural FAPs, as well as separate divisions of medical organizations in rural settlements where there are no pharmacies.
Settlements in remote or hard-to-reach areas specified in the list approved by the government authority of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation. As for areas remote from communication networks, the criterion here is a population of no more than 10 thousand people. In such areas, cash register is used, but without a mandatory Internet connection and online data transfer to the Federal Tax Service.
Providing services to the population in the field of education, physical education and sports, in the field of culture. Homeowners' associations and housing cooperatives when providing services to their members within the framework of their statutory activities and when accepting payments for residential premises and utilities. A reservation has been made regarding these services: the exemption from cash register systems does not apply to payments in cash and with the presentation of an electronic means of payment, subject to direct interaction with the buyer. That is, regular card payments (not online) are not exempt.

In Articles 1.2 and 2 of the Law “On Cash Register Equipment” No. 54-FZ, there are several more situations that make it possible not to use a cash register or to use it in a special manner, for example, outside the place of payment. But we have already given the main ones. For details, we recommend that you refer to the original source.

Simplified procedure for cash management for small businesses

A simplified procedure for cash transactions has been established since June 1, 2014. According to it, individual entrepreneurs can refuse to issue a receipt and debit order, and also not maintain a cash book. The responsibilities of an individual entrepreneur are only the preparation of settlement and payroll statements when paying wages to individuals or other remuneration in cash.

In addition, individual entrepreneurs and small organizations with up to 100 employees and revenue of up to 400 million rubles per year may not comply with the cash balance limit. But if individual entrepreneurs and small organizations are comfortable maintaining cash documents, they have the right to do so.

What needs to be done before registering a cash register with the Federal Tax Service

Before registering a cash register with the tax authorities, a person who intends to use it must purchase cash register equipment. Now this can only be an online cash register, that is, a cash register that meets the requirements of Art. 4 of the Law “On the Application of Cash Registers...” dated May 22, 2003 No. 54-FZ, updated in connection with the introduction of online cash registers. Its main differences from the previously used cash registers are that it:

connects to the Internet and ensures the transmission of sales information to the tax authority through the fiscal data operator in real time;
is able to make payments using bank cards;
has a fiscal storage of sales information that stores this data for a certain period and, like the cash register itself, is subject to registration with the tax authority;
makes it possible not only to print all created documents (including those stored in the fiscal storage device), but also to generate them in electronic form;
ensures the generation of documents with a specific (expanded compared to previously used technology) set of details, which are encrypted in a barcode.

The purchased cash register and the fiscal storage device for it (to be replaced as it is filled with information or expires) must be included in the relevant state registers. It is no longer necessary to have an agreement with the central service center for registration. But a mandatory condition for the use of online cash register systems is the conclusion of an agreement with the fiscal data operator.

CCP as an inventory

Cash register equipment costing up to 40,000 rubles per unit can be included in the inventory. In this case, the cash register is accepted for accounting in the amount of the organization’s actual costs (excluding VAT). Expenses include all costs directly related to the purchase of an online cash register. CCP is accounted for on account 10 “Materials”. When it is put into operation, the cost is debited to cost accounts (20 “Main production”, 26 “General expenses”, 44 “Sale expenses”). Moreover, in order to ensure the safety of these objects during operation, the organization must organize proper control over their movement. This can be conveniently accomplished through the use of an off-balance sheet account.

Requirements for cash registers

In accordance with Article 4 of the Federal Law of May 22, 2003 No. 54-FZ “On the use of cash register equipment when making cash payments and (or) settlements using payment cards,” the requirements for cash register equipment used by organizations and individual entrepreneurs, the procedure and conditions for its registration and application are determined by the Government of the Russian Federation.

Cash register registration options

For state registration of cash register, you should apply in person or through a representative to any branch of the Federal Tax Service. The second method allows you to immediately contact your branch through your personal account (PA) by visiting the Internet resource nalog.ru. Before choosing any of them, you need to take several mandatory steps. Let's take a closer look at them.

Preliminary preparation for the process

Before registering new or upgraded equipment with the fiscal authority, you should:

Find the cash register and fiscal drive (FN) numbers in the documents and make sure that they are included in the list of cash register equipment approved for use by the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation;
Enter into a written agreement with the fiscal data operator (FDO). To do this, from the proposed list you need to select one of the OFD companies that has received the right to process data.
Issue a CEP (qualified electronic signature), with the help of which you will need to carry out document flow through the tax portal.

Registration of cash register directly at the tax office

This option is not the fastest. To apply in person, you must first fill out the proposed application correctly by hand or using a computer in two copies. It should not contain any blots or corrections. For each online cash register, the form must be filled out separately. After completion, the set of documents is personally submitted by the head of the company (IP) or his representative to the regulatory authority. Having received the request, the Federal Tax Service employee returns the second copy to the interested party, on which the appropriate acceptance mark is affixed. Then the inspector checks the accuracy of the data specified in the application. If they do not correspond to reality, then registration will be refused. If everything was specified correctly, the Federal Tax Service will issue a registration code assigned to the device. After this, you need to go through the fiscalization procedure.

You need to know that RNM cash register is the registration number of the cash register assigned by the Federal Tax Service. It includes 16 digits (10+6). The first line of 10 digits includes the serial number of the registered cash register, and the second line consists of 6 digits, including a check number for checking the PRM.

Procedure for online registration of cash registers

You can register without leaving your home. It's more convenient and faster. Having an extended version of the CEP (this service is paid, is valid for a year and is ordered at a special certification center), you need to enter the main page of the Internet resource nalog.ru. Having selected the “Accounting” option in the menu, you need to open the “Register cash register equipment” tab and stop at the item that provides for entering:

addresses where the equipment will be located;
online cash register destinations (payment for Internet services, retail or mobile trade, offline mode);
cash register models, taking into account the existing list, and its identification marks;
numbers and models of the fiscal drive.

At the next stage, from the proposed list, you need to select the operator with whom the contract was concluded. After carefully checking the entered information, the owner of the cash register confirms the generated request with his EPC, and then sends it to the Federal Tax Service. The procedure is completed after the application is assigned a registration number. At the last stage, after receiving the RNM, the applicant, in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, enters it into the online cash register and then prints out the “Registration Report”.

General rules for preparing documents for cash transactions

Cash transactions are carried out by a cashier or other employee, to whom the head of the organization or entrepreneur assigns the duties of a cashier. The cashier must familiarize himself with his official rights and responsibilities by signature. If an organization or individual entrepreneur has several cashiers, a senior cashier is appointed. If necessary, the head of the organization or individual entrepreneur can also conduct cash transactions.

NOTE! The cashier is the financially responsible person with whom the corresponding agreement is signed.

All cash documents, including the cash book, can be prepared in paper or electronic form. Documents on paper are drawn up by hand or on a computer and signed by authorized persons. Electronic documents are drawn up using technical means to ensure their protection from unauthorized access, distortion and loss of information. They are signed with electronic signatures in accordance with the requirements of the Law “On Electronic Signatures” dated 04/06/2011 No. 63-FZ.

Cash documents are signed by the chief accountant or accountant (in their absence, by the manager), as well as by the cashier. If the document is electronic, then it is signed with an electronic signature (EDS). The Ministry of Finance believes that when preparing primary accounting documents it is possible to use a simple electronic signature (letter dated July 17, 2017 No. 03-03-06/1/45323). The cashier is provided with a seal (stamp) containing the details confirming the cash transaction, as well as sample signatures of persons authorized to sign cash documents. The cashier is obliged to compare signatures with samples only if the document is not drawn up in electronic form with an electronic signature. In the case of conducting cash transactions and drawing up cash documents by the manager, sample signatures of persons authorized to sign cash documents are not drawn up.

If there is a senior cashier, transactions for the transfer of cash between the senior cashier and cashiers during the working day are reflected by the senior cashier in the book of accounting for received and issued cash.

Documents for registering a cash register with the tax office

The application for registration of a cash register, a sample of which was approved by the Order of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation dated May 29, 2021, reflects data from the agreement with the OFD and information about the type of application of the cash register.

In addition, you must prepare and provide:

passport of an individual entrepreneur or the head of a company when submitting documents in person;
technical passport of the cash register and FN;
agreement with OFD;
a document confirming the actual address of the company or the lease agreement for the premises and the location of the equipment;
seal of the organization (if available);
other information indicated in clause 2. Article 4.2 No. 54-FZ.

Sample of a cash register registration card

The registration card (KRU) has the form according to KND 1110066. It is filled out by the inspector of the Federal Tax Service, then signed by the head of this body and stamped. After receiving this card, the businessman is obliged to keep it where the cash register is constantly located and operated. If it is damaged or lost, you can order a duplicate from the inspection. When equipment is deregistered, a corresponding note is made on the card. KRU can be obtained through the OFD or the taxpayer’s personal account. After receiving the electronic card, you can ask for a paper version. Together with the switchgear, the owner of the cash register receives a technical passport. It indicates the assigned individual number. All original documents that were sent to the inspection for verification are returned to their owner. Upon completion of the state registration procedure, the interested person can submit an application for a copy of the KRU. The date of deregistration will not be the date of submission of the corresponding package of documents, but the day the cash register control body issues the online cash register registration card. The applicant is notified of this within five days.

Why do you need a fiscal registrar?

The fiscal registrar is the main component of the cash register, which is necessary to make payments in the process of monetary transactions for a legal entity. Its main function is to record the actions performed. Essentially, this is an online cash register in which payment processing data is recorded on a special tape or drive.

The registrar is connected to the cash register in such a way that it can print receipts, and such a device is even suitable for carrying out not only stationary trading, but also traveling to certain areas. For example, mobile phone recharge points or some kiosks operate through the fiscal registrar.

How to register an online cash register yourself with the tax office step by step

To register an online cash register, its user submits an application either on paper to any Federal Tax Service Inspectorate in the region, or electronically through the cash register office. In the latter case, the date of submission of this document coincides with the date of its placement in the office. To avoid problems, the best choice is to register a turnkey company.

In the application for registration of cash register equipment, incl. are indicated (clause 2 of article 4.2 of the law dated May 22, 2003 No. 54-FZ):

full name of the legal entity or full name of the individual entrepreneur;
address (for online payments - website address) and the place where the cash register will be used;
KKT model name and serial number;
name of the fiscal drive model and its serial number;
number of the automatic device used for calculations (if used);
information on whether the cash register will be used in a mode that does not provide for electronic transmission of data to the Federal Tax Service;
information on the use of cash registers only for the formation of BSO;
information on the use of cash register systems only for online payments;
information about whether the cash register will be used to perform the functions of a paying agent or to accept bets and issue winnings when conducting gambling activities.

The Federal Tax Service Inspectorate, having verified the legality of registration, assigns a registration number to the cash register and no later than the 1st working day following the day the document was submitted, transfers it to the user. Having received a registration number from the INFS, the user must, on the working day following the day of receipt of this number, enter it into the fiscal drive along with information about himself and the cash register used, generate a registration report and send it to the Federal Tax Service either through the fiscal data operator or through the cash register account .

The Federal Tax Service Inspectorate enters the information received during the registration process into the accounting journal and the cash register registration card. The date the card is issued is considered the date of registration (Clause 7, Article 4.2 of Law No. 54-FZ dated May 22, 2003).

Common mistakes

Let's look at the most popular errors that occur when registering a cash register:

Registration data does not match the cash register settings.

Check the organization data specified in the cash register settings and the address where the cash register will be used. The difference in data is a violation of the procedure for applying CCP.

The registration number entered is incorrect.

The number received from the tax office must be entered as carefully as possible, otherwise the fiscal drive may fail.

The OFD is indicated incorrectly.

Such an error can occur when changing the operator, but this information is reflected only on the Federal Tax Service website or at the cash desk. The procedure obliges you to make changes on the website and at the checkout.

The deadline for entering registration data into the fiscal drive has been violated.

Only one day is allotted for this after receipt from the Federal Tax Service. Violation of the deadline is a violation of the procedure for using cash registers.

Documents for registering a cash register with the tax office

In addition, you must prepare and provide:

passport of an individual entrepreneur or the head of a company when submitting documents in person;
technical passport of the cash register and FN;
agreement with OFD;
a document confirming the actual address of the company or the lease agreement for the premises and the location of the equipment;
seal of the organization (if available);
other information indicated in clause 2. Article 4.2 No. 54-FZ.

Classic stand-alone cash registers: what are their important characteristics (cost extra)

So, the classic autonomous cash register - sometimes called command-controlled due to the extreme simplicity of the built-in firmware (it provides for the use of literally several dozen basic commands for cash transactions), is a conservative-looking cash register “with buttons” and a modest display. In many cases, single-line (sometimes adapted to display a single type of information in the form of numbers).

We already know examples of popular models of classic autonomous cash registers - these are the Mercury-115F (7,200 rubles) and ATOL-90F (7,200 rubles) devices. The following low-cost solutions are also notable:

Agat-1F (4290 rubles);
Pioneer-114F (4300 rubles);
ELVES-MF (5900 rubles).

“Classic” is the cheapest type of online cash register. If a business’s goal is to save money, then, in principle, you can take any cash register of this type from among those included in the register of cash register models approved for use. But it should be remembered that from February 1, 2021, the law will be amended and the requirement that nomenclature be given on all checks. With push-button cash registers, this will be either very difficult or completely impossible due to the very difficult programming system. At the same time, we can highlight the following characteristics of such cash registers, which may have the meaning “all other things being equal”:

Receipt printing speed.

For a typical business, in which it is permissible to use the cheapest classic online cash register, as a rule, it does not matter at all how quickly the cash register prints receipts.

But if this is an indicator, for example, 15-20 mm/sec, this is not enough, and in many cases it significantly lengthens the process of servicing even one customer. It is desirable that the device issues checks at a speed of at least 50-75 mm/sec. In this case, you can count on relatively comfortable interaction with customers, even if they line up in a small queue.

Availability of wireless ports (Wi-Fi, 3G, sometimes Bluetooth is in demand):

by default (when the port is present in all modifications of the cash register of the selected model);
as an option (for which you may need to pay extra - or select it when ordering a certain modification of the online cash register system).

What the port should be is determined by how the Internet is “distributed” at the place where the cash register is used. If this is a stationary store, then most likely there will be Internet with a router - and then it is important that there is a Wi-Fi module at the checkout. If this is a mobile service - for example, pizza delivery, then it is optimal to have a pre-installed or added 3G module at the checkout.

In some cases, it is convenient to configure the cash register via Bluetooth. But, as a rule, the same can be done via Wi-Fi - it is more universal.

Availability of USB ports - for setting up cash registers from a computer.

If the cash register does not have a USB port, then in the absence of wireless interfaces (the ability to use them), the only, as a rule, alternative option for connecting the cash register to a computer is to use the RS-232 port. It is no longer one of the most common: while it can still be found on desktops, it is rare on laptops. But it practically never occurs on smartphones or tablets.

In the case of using online cash register systems in retail trade, the ability to connect is important:

electronic scales;
barcode scanner;
cash drawer.

Without connecting scales and a scanner that allows you to automatically include quantitative parameters for goods in a receipt, the release of goods in retail will be extremely difficult: all data will have to be entered into the receipt manually.

Regarding the cash drawer, the need for it depends on the preferences of the particular seller. The main advantage of connecting a box to a cash register is its automatic opening when the cash payment mode is activated on the cash register (as a result, faster settlements). If the seller does not need this option, then the compatibility of the cash register with the box will not play a role.

In services where payment is made “according to the amount,” in turn, neither scales nor a scanner are needed - as well as, most likely, a special cash drawer. The absence of these options will not be critical.

As a rule, the following characteristics are practically unimportant on the “classic”:

Processor frequency and memory size.

The simplest commands provided by the firmware hardly “load” even the weakest processor, and do not consume a lot of RAM. There is virtually no risk of online cash register freezing, provided the cash register is configured correctly.

Availability of auto-cutter.

It is not intended that the device will be used to service large queues - for which the auto-cutter is very useful. Therefore, you don’t have to overpay for a cash register where it is available - if there is a cheaper analogue without an auto-cutter.

The main advantages of the “classic”:

cheapness;
minimal likelihood of “glitches” due to the simplicity of the software;
ease of use - you just need to master just a few “keyboard” commands;
reliability, maintainability.

The disadvantages of classic autonomous cash registers include:

the complexity of the setup (which may require inviting a specialist to carry it out - and, most likely, not for free);
as a rule, not very modern design - which can alienate demanding buyers of a “premium” service or boutique;
single-tasking - the “classic” can only be used as a cash register and for nothing else.

Conclusion: “classics” is useful for a novice entrepreneur who, in principle, needs to somehow ensure compliance of his activities with Law No. 54-FZ with minimal costs. Or - master the basics of working with online cash register systems. If the business is a retail business, then many of the cheapest solutions will not suit it , since they will most likely lack compatibility with external scanners, scales and boxes. The speed of printing receipts on cheap classic solutions may also be far from optimal.

Therefore, in retail, autonomous checkout gadgets may be more effective - a technological continuation of classic solutions.
