Value added tax (VAT) is an indirect tax that is imposed on the difference between the cost of a product and the selling price.

When paying VAT, you must follow the rules established in paragraph 7 of Art. 6.1 Tax Code of the Russian Federation. According to these rules, the deadline for paying VAT is the 25th day of the next month after the end of the quarter, but if this day falls on a weekend or non-working day, then it is postponed to the first working day after the weekend.

The VAT payment deadlines for the 3rd quarter of 2018 will not be postponed, since October 25 is a working day.

The traditional deadlines for paying VAT for the 3rd quarter of 2018 are as follows:

  • the first part should be transferred no later than October 25;
  • the second - no later than November 26 (11/25/2018 - Sunday);

The first and third payment deadlines fall on working days, so there are no transfers to subsequent days provided for in Art. 6.1 Tax Code of the Russian Federation. The second tax payment deadline is Sunday, November 25, 2018, therefore, according to Art. 6.1 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, payment is postponed to the first working day, which falls on November 26, 2018.

Purchasing goods from a foreign companyIf a tax agent purchases goods from a foreign counterparty who is not registered for tax purposes in Russia, then VAT must be paid on the day the goods are paid for under the transaction
The invoice was issued incorrectlySpecial rules for paying tax apply to some enterprises and individual entrepreneurs that are on UTII or the simplified tax system, which, when issuing an invoice, highlight VAT as a separate line, and then they undertake the obligation to pay VAT. In this case, it is necessary to pay the tax by the 25th day of the next month, which comes after the end of the quarter, and the tax is paid in full and without breaking it down into parts.

Responsibility for late payment of VAT tax for the 3rd quarter of 2018

To ensure that the tax service does not issue a fine for late payment of VAT for the 3rd quarter of 2018, it is necessary to comply with the deadlines for payment of VAT adopted by the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. But if this happens and the tax is not transferred on time, then you will have to pay a fine of 20% of the tax amount.

But if tax inspectors prove that the VAT tax was not transferred to the budget intentionally, then the fine will already be up to 40% of the arrears.

VAT declaration for the 2nd quarter of 2019, form (xls format)

You can fill out a declaration in online services on the websites of accounting software developers - My Business, Kontur, Nebo and others. Some sites allow you to do this freely, but usually the services require a small fee (up to 1000 rubles).

When filling out a VAT return, there are always important points that you need to pay attention to. Otherwise, the Federal Tax Service will ask for clarification and will conduct an additional inspection, request documents, including invoices, contracts, primary documents.

Deadlines and form of declaration

The VAT return for the 3rd quarter of 2017 must be submitted no later than October 25, 2017.

You must report in the form approved by Order of the Federal Tax Service of Russia dated October 29, 2014 N ММВ-7-3/558@ “On approval of the form of the tax return for value added tax, the procedure for filling it out, as well as the format for submitting the tax return for value added tax in electronic form."

The declaration consists of 12 sections, but in most cases not all sections are completed. In sections, missing readings are indicated by dashes.

It is important to fill out the following sections:

- title page;

— section 8;

— section 9;

— section 3

- section 1.

Section 1 is usually completed last.

In some cases, additional sections may need to be completed.

So, if you act as a tax agent when concluding agreements with foreign companies that do not have a representative office, or when leasing state property, you must fill out section 2 as a tax agent.

Section 7 is filled out if there were non-taxable transactions in the 3rd quarter. For example, since 2017, transactions involving the sale of services provided within the framework of arbitration are not subject to taxation.

Indicators that do not coincide with last year

At the end of last year, changes were made to the declaration form. The changes were made by Order of the Federal Tax Service of Russia dated December 20, 2016 N ММВ-7-3/696@ “On introducing amendments and additions to the appendices to the order of the Federal Tax Service dated October 29, 2014 N ММВ-7-3/558@”.

The main changes in the VAT return are related to section 3. There are several of them:

1. The total amount of the company’s calculated tax is filled in line 118 of section 3.

2. In the VAT return in section 3 there is now line 125. It is intended to reflect the VAT presented by contractors during capital construction.

2. In section 3, lines appeared to reflect the tax base and the amount of VAT for companies associated with the customs zone in the Kaliningrad region.

3. In Appendix 1 to Section 3, the terminology has been changed. Instead of “Real Estate Object” the concept “Fixed Asset Object” is now used. And the “Object location address” no longer exists. In the same application, it is no longer required to enter the address of the property for which the tax will be restored for 10 years.

The continuation to section 8 of the VAT return has also changed. There is no longer a 1000 character limit when entering customs declaration numbers.

In continuation to section 8 on line 150, data is entered for all customs declarations.

Section 10 has undergone terminology changes. Instead of “Information on intermediary activities indicated by the commission agent (agent), forwarder, developer,” the subsection is called “Information from invoices received from sellers.”

Changes made to the declaration

Examples of new and changed codes

1010811 Sales of goods, the place of sale of which is not recognized as the territory of the Russian FederationArticle 147 of the Code, paragraph 3 of the Protocol
1010823 Sale of property and (or) property rights of debtors recognized as insolvent (bankrupt) in accordance with the legislation of the Russian FederationArticle 146 of the Code, paragraph 2, subparagraph 15
1010821 Implementation of works (services), the place of implementation of which is not recognized as the territory of the Russian FederationParagraph 29 of the Protocol
1010235 Sales of services for the transportation of passengers by public urban passenger transport (with the exception of taxis, including minibuses, as well as services for the transportation of passengers by rail in suburban traffic)Article 149 of the Code, paragraph 2, subparagraph 7
1010243 Sale of shares in the authorized (share) capital of organizations, shares in mutual funds of cooperatives and mutual investment funds, securities and derivative financial instruments, with the exception of the underlying asset of derivative financial instruments, subject to taxation with value added taxArticle 149 of the Code, paragraph 2, subparagraph 12

Amount of tax to be paid to the budget

When filling out a declaration, it is very important to correctly determine the amount of tax paid to the budget.

The tax amount is reflected in section 1 of the declaration. The data in section 1 is reflected at the end of each quarter and is taken from the sales book and purchase book. The amount of tax you must pay to the budget is the difference between the total amount of VAT calculated at the end of the tax period and the amount of tax deductions.

The share of VAT deductions from the amount of tax accrued from the tax base should not exceed 88.5% for a period of 12 months.

But it’s even better to focus on the regional indicator. We did it with a safe share of VAT deductions.
If the VAT share exceeds this value, then the tax authorities may be interested in the taxpayer.

There are many cases in the courts about the unreasonable use of VAT deductions. For example, from a recent one - Resolution of the Sixteenth Arbitration Court of Appeal dated 03/06/2017 N 16AP-3774/2016 in case N A15-2703/2016. There, companies removed deductions for transactions that were not of a real nature. As a result, you have to pay more than 5 million VAT and fines and penalties.

Tax amount subject to 0% rate

The amount of tax for which the 0% rate is applied is indicated in section 4 of the declaration.

It is very important to correctly fill out line 030 of section 4.

The tax amount is subject to reflection on line 120 if the sum of the values ​​on lines 030 and 040 exceeds the sum of the values ​​on lines 050 and 080, and is calculated as the sum of the values ​​on lines 030 and 040, reduced by the sum of the values ​​on lines 050 and 080.

The tax amount is subject to reflection on line 130 if the sum of the values ​​on lines 030 and 040 is less than the sum of the values ​​on lines 050 and 080, and is calculated as the sum of the values ​​on lines 050 and 080, reduced by the sum of the values ​​on lines 030 and 040.

Line 050 reflects the amount of tax calculated for reimbursement from the budget for the tax period, subject to offset or refund from the budget in the prescribed manner

Explanations for the VAT return

If tax authorities request clarifications, the taxpayer must submit them electronically.

Explanations in response to the request for clarifications are sent by the taxpayer via telecommunication channels through an electronic document management operator in accordance with the format approved by Order of the Federal Tax Service of Russia dated December 16, 2016 N ММВ-7-15/682@ “On approval of the format for submitting explanations to the tax return for value added tax in electronic form”, using an inventory of documents, the format of which is approved by Order of the Federal Tax Service of Russia dated June 29, 2012 N ММВ-7-6/465@.

Explanations are requested by the tax authority in the following cases:

  • errors in the declaration;
  • contradictions between the information contained in the submitted documents;
  • discrepancy between the information provided by the taxpayer and the information contained in the documents available to the tax authority and received by it during tax control.
Often the tax authority will request clarification if the taxpayer claims large amounts of VAT as deduction.

VAT update

Often taxpayers who do not have time to collect all the documents submit an unfinished return, taking into account the fact that a final return will be submitted in the future.

In what cases is a taxpayer exempt from liability when submitting a VAT update, the Ministry of Finance recently explained in letter No. 03-02-07/1/31591 dated May 23, 2017.

How to check the declaration?

If you work in a specialized program, the VAT return is most likely filled out automatically based on the documents entered. The declaration indicators can be compared with the balance sheet data for the reporting period. To check, you need revolutions of the specified sheet.

The balance sheet reflects the amounts for accounting and tax accounting. To verify the declaration, we will need tax accounting data.
