Almost all taxpayers submit statistical forms to the statistics agency. At least, even if the report indicators are zero, there is a random sample when it is necessary to provide figures for a particular area of activity. Therefore, we can say that every businessman has “surrendered to statistics” at least once in his life. Small businesses submit significantly fewer forms to the statistical office than large and medium-sized taxpayers. However, there is a form that applies specifically to small businesses. Let's take a closer look at it.
Who should submit PM-bargaining
Not all enterprises are required to submit the form in question. The number of respondents included only small businesses, namely legal entities that sell goods wholesale.
The following categories of small businesses did not receive an exemption from submitting the form:
- simplified small businesses - reports are submitted according to standard rules;
- organizations that carried out activities only for part of the reporting period - submit on a general basis and indicate since what time they have not worked;
- bankrupt organizations at the stage of bankruptcy proceedings;
- subsidiaries and dependent business companies;
- organizations that carry out trust management of an enterprise as a whole property complex.
The only exceptions from the number of respondents were:
- large and medium-sized businesses - a different reporting form is provided for them;
- micro-enterprises - those with less than 15 employees and 120 million rubles in annual income;
- non-profit organizations;
- liquidated organizations;
- individual entrepreneurs.
Additionally, it is worth considering that the survey of small businesses is selective. That is, Rosstat regularly determines which legal entities must report in this period and sends them a notification about the new obligation. You can check your presence in the list of respondents on the official website of Rosstat. If PM-torg is not among the forms that Rosstat expects from you, you don’t have to submit it.
Who is required to submit a statistical form?
There are different types of reports for different organizations and entrepreneurs. Some information is provided only by large and medium-sized companies, and some types of reports are intended only for small companies.
The report form applies exclusively to representatives of small businesses, and specifically legal entities engaged in wholesale trade.
It happens that a report must be provided as part of a sample conducted by a statistical agency. Usually, for these purposes, information about the activities of the enterprise is analyzed quarterly and then a decision is made on including a particular company in the sample. So statistics are a stubborn thing, you can’t argue with them.
Also, do not forget that even if a bankruptcy procedure is carried out against a company, the form must be submitted before its completion.
Deadlines and procedure for submitting PM-torg
The FSGS expects the PM-Torg form from respondents on a monthly basis. It must be submitted by the 4th day of the month following the reporting month. You can also submit your report on the 4th, you won’t be punished for it. So, for February 2021, the form had to be submitted by March 4th.
Let us remind you that in connection with the decree of the President of the Russian Federation on uniform non-working days, Rosstat exempted all small enterprises from submitting forms in the period from March 30 to May 12. The exception was small businesses that were included in the sample and continued to operate as usual or remotely.
Organizations submit this report to the territorial body of Rosstat at their location, that is, registration. If the location and actual location of the activity do not coincide, then the report must be submitted to the actual address of the activity.
Who does not provide the report form
Everything is clear with those who must submit a report. But there are also those who are not obliged to submit the form to the statistics agency.
- First of all, individual entrepreneurs do not submit reports. The Instructions for filling out the form say that only legal entities are required to submit the form.
- The second obvious point, which is also directly referenced in the Guidelines, is that non-profit organizations do not fill out the report.
- Another exception is that micro-enterprises also do not fill out or submit the form.
- Well, since the report concerns information on wholesale trade, those involved in retail sales also do not provide a reporting form
Responsibility for violation of the delivery procedure
Companies that did not have time or forgot to submit a report bear administrative liability under the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. Similarly, fines are provided for false information in the report.
For the first violation, legal entities face a fine of 20 to 70 thousand rubles, and for repeated cases the fine increases significantly and ranges from 100 to 150 thousand rubles.
During the coronavirus pandemic, Rosstat canceled liability measures. Thus, in May 2021, the measures provided for in Article 13.19 of the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offenses are not applied. This is due to the continued high alert regime in a number of regions of Russia.
Title page
The address part of the form indicates the full name of the reporting organization in accordance with the constituent documents registered in the prescribed manner, and then the short name in brackets.
The line “Postal address” indicates the name of the subject of the Russian Federation, legal address with postal code; if the actual address does not coincide with the legal address, then the actual postal address is also indicated.
In the code part, a legal entity must enter the code of the All-Russian Classifier of Enterprises and Organizations (OKPO) on the basis of the Notification of assignment of the OKPO code sent (issued) to organizations by the territorial bodies of Rosstat.
Attention! To select the direction for submitting the report (TOGS), follow this procedure:
Attention! If the list of proposed TOGS does not contain the one you need, you can select it by clicking on the “Show all” button. Next, select the appropriate region and TOGS in this region.
The procedure for filling out the PM-torg form
The most important rule is that information in the form must be submitted for the entire legal entity as a whole. One report will reflect information about its wholesale trade, as well as the trade of its branches and structural divisions. Their location does not matter.
At the same time, subsidiaries and dependent economic entities submit their own forms, and the main economic entity or partnership does not include information on them in its form.
The rules for filling out the report were approved by Rosstat Order No. 321 dated July 16, 2015. The form includes a standard title page and a small tabular form with the main report on wholesale sales.
Title page
Immediately below the name of the form you must indicate the year and month for which you are sending information.
Next, provide information about your legal entity - its full name and short name in brackets. As well as postal or physical address, if they differ. In the code part, indicate the OKPO code.
Main part
The main part of the form consists of one table in which it is necessary to present data on wholesale trade turnover for three periods: the reporting month, the previous month and the corresponding month of the previous year.
For the purposes of filling out this form, wholesale trade turnover represents revenue from the sale of goods that were previously purchased for resale to other organizations or individual entrepreneurs. The main sign that a particular operation falls into the category of wholesale sales is the presence of an invoice for the shipment of goods.
Wholesale trade turnover must be shown on line 01 in thousands of rubles with one decimal place, that is, as a decimal fraction.
Information for filling out this form indicator must be viewed under account 90.1 “Revenue”.
Organizations that sell goods wholesale provide this indicator in the actual sales price, which includes trade margins, VAT, excise taxes, duties, customs duties and other mandatory payments.
Commission agents who are engaged in wholesale trade for other persons under a commission, commission or agency agreement reflect in line 01 only the amount of remuneration received, and the cost of goods is reflected by the principals. The amount of commission agents' remuneration is also reflected at actual cost and includes VAT.
Important
! Line 01 does not need to reflect the sale of goods to the public, since it belongs to the category of retail trade. It also does not include the cost of lottery tickets, telephone cards, communication services, fuel cards, utilities and sold real estate.
The finished document should be checked for accuracy. After verification, it is signed by a company employee who is responsible for providing information to Rosstat. Additionally, he indicates his position, full name, phone number, and email address. In the conclusion, the date of drawing up the document is indicated.
Important points when filling out the report
There are some important points to keep in mind when filling out the form:
- The reporting form is usually submitted to the statistics department where the company is registered, however, if the activity is carried out elsewhere, the form is submitted to the place where such activity is carried out
- The form must be completed for the organization as a whole. This means that if a company has branches or representative offices engaged in wholesale trade, then this information is included in the report of the parent organization
- But “subsidiaries” and dependent companies submit the form independently, regardless of the main organization
- In the case when a company must report on a form, but there are no indicators for filling it out (that is, they are zero), then a letter must be submitted to the statistics body stating the impossibility of filling out the form due to the lack of required data
This is perhaps all that you need to pay additional attention to when drawing up a report.
Application and purpose
In any organization where the movement of goods takes place, it is imperative to register their receipt and decrease. For this purpose, in accounting, documentation of the receipt and release of goods is formed in special registers.
Reconciliation of balances and the reliability of the availability of shipping documentation is carried out on the basis of commodity reports submitted to the accounting department in the TORG 29 form. In it, the reporting employee summarizes all the information on the papers about the arrival and departure of his commodity mass. Thus, the report is, in its own way, a register of invoices, compiled into separate lists according to the documents received. Based on the reflected amounts, final figures are calculated separately on the amount of goods received and lost, as well as their balance at the beginning and end of the reporting period.
This form of report easily allows you to control the turnover of a separate area for which the responsible person is responsible. The main thing in this matter is not to make mistakes and carefully fill out the form, then everything will be in order at the enterprise.
Sample report on retail turnover
Let's look at an example of how to fill out form 3-TORG (PM).
LLC "Molochnaya Dolina" is a small enterprise engaged in the sale of dairy products to the population. In 2021, through a network of retail stores, Molochnaya Dolina LLC sold milk, fermented baked milk, kefir, sour cream, cottage cheese and cheese in the amount of RUB 12,341,000. Inventories of dairy products as of December 31, 2017 amounted to RUB 4,987,670 in value equivalent.
