Reporting for 2021 is mandatory documentation for any business entity that, with its help, informs regulatory authorities about the facts of its business activities. A summary table with due dates will help you avoid mistakes. The dates for submitting reports to regulatory authorities are specified in legislative acts regulating the rules of accounting, tax, statistical accounting, calculation of tax payments and fees. If the last date for submitting a report falls on a non-working weekend or holiday, it is moved to the first working day. This rule is specified in paragraph 7 of Article 6.1 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.
Tax authorities almost annually change and update declaration forms and other reporting, as well as the electronic format for their submission according to the TKS. The 2021 Annual Report Worksheet will help you stay on top of due dates and approved updates.

What is tax charged on?
On profit, that is, on the difference between income and expenses.
Income is revenue from the main activity (income from sales), as well as amounts received from other activities. For example, from leasing property, interest on bank deposits, etc. (non-operating income). When taxing profits, all income is taken into account without VAT and excise taxes.
Expenses are justified and documented expenses of the enterprise. They are divided into costs associated with production and sales (employee wages, purchase price of raw materials, depreciation of fixed assets, etc.) and non-operating costs (negative exchange rate differences, court and arbitration fees, etc.). In addition, there is a closed list of expenses that cannot be taken into account when taxing profits. These are, in particular, accrued dividends, contributions to the authorized capital, loan repayments, etc.
During tax audits, most problems arise precisely because of expenses: inspectors declare that expenses are not economically justified, primary documents are drawn up incorrectly, etc., etc. Therefore, accountants, as a rule, pay increased attention to documents confirming expenses.

How to fill out the RSV if you apply several tariffs
Employers ─ SMEs can apply two tariffs simultaneously: the generally established one for payments within the minimum wage and a reduced 15% for payments in excess of this amount (subclause 2, 7, clause 2 of Article 427 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).
When applying several tariffs at the same time, it is necessary to include in the DAM composition (Letter of the Federal Tax Service dated July 27, 2020 No. BS-4-11/12050):
- subsections of Appendix 1 and Appendix 2 to Section 1 by payer tariff code “01”, “20”;
- subsections of Appendix 1 and Appendix 2 to Section 1 for other tariff codes in connection with the application of reduced contribution rates in accordance with Art. 427 Tax Code of the Russian Federation.
The procedure for applying the codes is explained in the Letter of the Federal Tax Service dated 04/07/2020 No. BS-4-11/ [email protected] :
- in field 001 “Payer's tariff code” of Appendix 1 (in relation to contributions to compulsory health insurance and compulsory medical insurance) and in Appendix 2 (for contributions to compulsory health insurance) of Section 1 the tariff code “20” is reflected;
- in column 130 of subsection 3.2.1, to indicate the code of the category of an individual for whom payments above the minimum wage are calculated at reduced rates, the following letter codes are used:
Individual category code | Decoding |
MS | Persons insured in the field of compulsory health insurance |
VJMS | Foreign citizens and stateless persons temporarily residing in the Russian Federation, as well as persons who have been granted temporary asylum, insured in the field of compulsory health insurance |
IPMS | Foreign citizens and stateless persons, except highly qualified specialists, insured in the field of compulsory health insurance) temporarily staying in the territory of the Russian Federation |
Designation of tariff codes:
- code “01” ─ basic tariff;
- code “20” ─ tariff 15%.
There are also other reduced tariffs applied to payments to certain categories of employees.
If you apply several tariffs at the same time, in the DAM include as many appendices 1 (or individual subsections of appendix 1) and appendices 2 to section 1 as tariffs were applied during the period.
