How to correctly write an investment inventory
The Tax Code establishes the requirement that if the declaration is delivered by mail, then an inventory of its contents must be included in the envelope. But if the shipment is made by regular or registered mail, the inventory must be completed yourself on the organization’s letterhead.

However, there is one caveat to this. As a rule, postal workers do not want to put stamps on this kind of inventory, confirming this by the fact that they cannot be responsible for the contents of such items. Therefore, in this situation, the signatures of the director and chief accountant must be present on the inventory.
If the shipping receipt is lost for some reason, then it will be impossible to confirm the fact of sending the item with an inventory alone.
Let's look at an example of how to draw up an inventory on a company's letterhead.
At the top of the sheet you need to put down the full name of the organization, registration codes TIN, KPP, OGRN, legal address, bank account information.
Then in the middle of the sheet you need to indicate the name of the form - “Attachment Inventory”.
After this, you need to list all the declarations that are in the envelope in list format. This is done in the format: tax return for (name of tax) for (name of period) for (number of pages in the declaration in numbers and words) - (number of copies).
After completing the transfer, the manager and chief accountant must put their signatures with the transcripts.

What happens when the letter arrives at the tax office after the deadline for submitting reports?
If the declaration is delivered using postal mail, then according to the Tax Code, the day of its receipt is considered to be the date on which it was sent. Moreover, this rule works until 24:00 of the day that is defined as the deadline for submitting this type of declaration.
Attention! The tax office may decide to impose a fine if the declaration was sent within the prescribed period, but arrived at the Federal Tax Service after the deadline. However, this step is illegal. In particular, this was confirmed by the arbitration court, which considered that the sender is not punished for the delay of the item during shipment if it was submitted to the postal service and received on time.
However, if the fine was issued to the subject, then he will have to prove his innocence only through a trial.
How can you confirm the submission of reports?
The Tax Code requires that when delivering a declaration using the postal service, an inventory of the contents on a postal form must be included in the envelope. It will indicate exactly what documents were in it at the time of dispatch, which means that with its help it will also be possible to establish the fact that this particular declaration was sent. It is simply impossible to find out information about its contents from the receipt of acceptance of the letter for forwarding.
In addition, the rules for the provision of postal services state that the inventory is also considered evidence of the conclusion of an agreement for their provision between the sender and the postal service.
Before the inventory is sealed in an envelope, the postal employee must compare both copies with each other, as well as compare what is indicated in it with the contents in the envelope, after which a stamp is placed on each inventory.
At the same time, the inventory that remains in hand, thanks to this stamp, can be considered confirmation of the delivery of the item on time, even if the receipt is lost. However, sometimes during legal proceedings, the court does not agree with this, considering that only the receipt itself can confirm the shipment.
If the inspection did not receive the sent declaration and the account was blocked for this reason, the subject will need to provide:
- A copy of the submitted declaration;
- Available inventory with a stamp;
- Receipt of acceptance of the shipment.
Fines for violators
If a taxpayer who is required to report to the Federal Tax Service in electronic form submits a report “on paper”, he will have to pay a fine of 200 rubles. (Article 119.1 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).
For policyholders who violate the procedure for submitting information to the Pension Fund in the form of electronic documents, a sanction of 1,000 rubles is provided. (Article 17 of Law No. 27-FZ).
An insured who does not comply with the procedure for submitting Form 4-FSS in electronic form will be fined 200 rubles. (clause 2 of article 26.30 of Law No. 125-FZ).
Note that in practice, submitting paper reports instead of electronic ones often leads to other, more unpleasant consequences for business. Violators simply risk ruining relations with representatives of regulatory authorities. Officials take violators seriously and treat their reports, as well as their activities, more skeptically than the reports of bona fide payers. In addition, controllers are beginning to more often use various formal grounds for refusing to accept reports. And this, in turn, is fraught with fines for violating reporting deadlines.
