Definition of December 30, 2017 No. 309-KG17-19423
The Supreme Court of the Russian Federation in Decision No. 309-KG17-19423 of December 18, 2017 concluded that if the value of gifts given to workers on the occasion of the holiday does not depend on the length of service, position held and the results of labor, occurs.
The crux of the matter is as follows. Employees of the organization received valuable gifts on the occasion of the International Women's Day on March 8. Gifts (each cost was 1500 rubles.) Were issued on the basis of the order of the director.
The inspectors from the FSS stated that payments in the form of a valuable gift were made within the framework of labor relations. Accordingly, the value of gifts is considered as an element of labor remuneration and is subject to insurance premiums.
But the courts of all instances with the position of the fund did not agree, noting the following. The delivery of gifts is due to the holiday on March 8 and is not related to the work activity of employees. Gifts did not differ in value, did not depend on the length of service, position and qualifications of the employee, the results and quality of work. Evidence that the issuance of the holiday date of gifts was regarded as a reward for labor or as compensation, incentive and incentive payments was not presented by the fund.
In addition, the court of first instance reminded that no payments are made for payments and other remunerations under civil law contracts, the subject of which is the transfer of ownership or other proprietary rights to property (property rights). Such contracts include a gift agreement. In this case, the gift contract must be made in writing only if the organization gives a gift worth more than 3000 rubles. In the described situation, gifts were given to employees in the framework of oral contracts, as the cost of each gift was 1500 rubles. Therefore, there are no grounds for assessing contributions.

As the resolution of the Moscow district from 05.06.2017 № A40-185135/16
In the Resolution, as Moscow district on 05.06.2017 № A40-185135/16 noted that the lack of a postcode application for state registration of a legal entity is grounds for refusal of registration.
The point is this. The tax Inspectorate refused to register the Organization due to the fact that the application form Р11001 were not filled paragraph 2.1 of section 2 (not specified zip code). Tax officials said that the information about the address (location) of a legal entity could not be regarded as complete and accurate.
In deciding in favor of inspections, the court pointed to the following. The applicant shall submit accurate and complete address information created by the organization. Address of the legal entity is a mandatory requisite of the application for registration. The location of the company is essential. In particular, they determined the place of performance of obligations, payment of taxes, jurisdiction of disputes. The indication of false information in constituent documents affecting the economic interests of an indefinite circle of persons who can enter into a relationship with society.
Submission of incomplete address information equivalent to the submission of false information created by the organization. And this is the basis for refusal in registration of the legal entity (clause 1 of article 23 of the Federal law from 08.08.2001 № 129-FZ). Because in this situation, index information is absent, the court found the refusal of the inspection of registration is valid.
The argument of the Organization that an index has been specified in the letter of guarantee and the registration authority could make the missing information, the court rejected. Justification —a letter of guarantee is not a document required for registration of a legal entity. In addition, the inspection is not obliged to rectify the documents submitted with incomplete, missing data.

The decision of the Supreme court of 30.05.2017 No. 78-АД17-19
In the Judgment of the Supreme court of 30.05.2017 No. 78-АД17-19 noted that employers or customers of services who has concluded an employment contract or civil law contract on performance of works (rendering of services) with the citizen of the Republic of Belarus do not need to notify the migration service.
The point is this. Under current law, employers and customers of works (services), involving for work of foreigners, are obliged to notify the territorial bodies of the FMS of Russia about the conclusion and termination (cancellation) of such employees employment and civil contracts. This must be done no later than three working days from the date of conclusion (termination, termination) of the contract (paragraph 8 of article 13 of the Federal law from 25.07.2002 № 115-FZ). Failure to notify the FMS on hiring a foreigner involves a serious fine or suspension of activity (h 3 and part 4 of article 18.15 of the administrative code).
A similar problem faced the organization from St. Petersburg. She was fined 400 thousand rubles for the fact that you did not notify the migration service about the employment of the citizen of the Republic of Belarus.
However, the Supreme court ruled the penalty illegal. He referred to the decision of the High Council of Community of Belarus and Russia from 22.06.1996 No. 4. In paragraph 1 of this document reads as follows: acting on the basis of national legislation, the regulation of attraction and use of foreign labor force in relation to the citizens of the Republic of Belarus in the Russian Federation is not applied. The citizens of the state of departure, engaged in labor activities on the territory of the state of employment shall enjoy equal rights with citizens of the state of employment in pay, working time and rest time, health and working conditions, and other matters of labour relations. From the mentioned document says that in respect of the citizens of the Republic of Belarus employed in Russia, and their employers, the provisions of the Law № 115-FZ does not apply. Consequently, even if the employer did not notify the FMS on hiring a citizen of Belarus, it is not the basis for the penalty under article 18.15 of the administrative code.

As the resolution of the Moscow district from 25.05.2017 No. F05-6488/2017
In the Resolution, as Moscow district on 25.05.2017 No. F05-6488/2017 noted that, if the payment system for payment of tax charged in a "troubled" Bank before the expiry of the payment deadline, then to read "stuck" payment in payment of arrears will not work. In this case, the taxpayer will have to pay tax again.
The point is this. The organization has made to the Bank payment order for payment of the single tax STS. The Bank has debited the amount from the settlement account of the organization, but the money did not reach the destination due to lack of funds in the correspondent account. After some time, credit institutions have been revoked license.
Because funds in the budget is not received, the inspection has exposed the requirement about payment of arrears. In response, the taxpayer sent the IRS a letter in which asked to recognize the obligation to pay tax for the year fulfilled. But representatives FNS have refused to offset these amounts, recognizing the organization's actions unfair.
The courts of three instances agreed with the auditors, stating the following. The organization has made to the Bank payment order for payment of the single tax on January 16. While an annual Declaration with the declared amount of tax payable filed with the on March 31. That is a controversial payment system was presented to the Bank before the taxpayer became obliged to pay tax. In addition, information about the financial instability of the Bank was published on the Internet. Accordingly, the organization could pay the tax through the current account opened with another Bank.
Transfer of funds before the deadline of tax payment and taxpayer awareness about the problems of the banking organizations is evidence of its misconduct, said judges. In the end, the arbitrators refused to recognize the obligation to pay the single tax have been fulfilled and ordered the taxpayer to pay the disputed amount of arrears.

Resolution as the far Eastern Federal district from 25.05.2017 № F03-1760/2017
In the Resolution as the far Eastern Federal district from 25.05.2017 № F03-1760/2017 noted that the period of leave child care employee (mother, father, child, other person actually caring for the child) on his application can work on a part-time job with retention of the right to receive benefits (clause 3 of article 256 of the LC RF). It is entitled to "child's" benefit during long trips such employee is not retained.
The point is this. The worker who was on leave to care for a child up to six years, went to work on conditions of incomplete working day. After some time she was sent on a business trip to another city for a few months. During business trips the employee had received average earnings, and "children's" allowance.
According to inspectors from the FSS, in the absence of the place of residence of the child, the employee actually had the opportunity to care for the child. So, allowance for the period of the trip she paid improperly.
In addition, representatives of FSS refused to offset the costs for the payment of "child" benefits for the period after a trip. As stated in the Fund, upon returning from business trip the worker had to file a leave to care for a child. Because the statements from her were not, then the benefit is not expected.
The courts of three instances stated the following. An employee who, during leave to care for the child was sent for a few months on a business trip, had no actual ability to care for the child. Therefore, the "child's" benefit for the period she is not supposed to.
However, with the decision of the FSS in terms of failure to offset the cost of benefits for the period after the end of the assignment judge did not agree. Rationale — the legislation does not provide re-apply for the allowance in the case of departure of the employee on a business trip.

The Resolution as 10.03.2017 from the Moscow district (case number A40-125687/2016) noted that the tax law comes from the fact that VAT is an important fact of posting of goods (works, services) in accounting. The bill, which capitalized goods (works, services) in this case does not matter. Fact reflect the cost of purchased goods (works, services) on account 08, and not on account 01 cannot serve as a basis for extension of the period provided for in clause 2 of article 173 of the tax code within which the organization can exercise their right to deduction of tax amounts.

As the resolution of the Moscow district from 09.03.2017, № A40-114424/2016
The Resolution as 09.03.2017 from the Moscow district (case number A40-114424/2016) with reference to paragraph 3 of article 269 and article 4 of RSFSR Law of 22.03.1991 No. 948-1 "On competition and restriction of monopolistic activity on commodity markets" noted that affiliated persons - individuals and legal entities, capable of exerting influence on legal entities and (or) physical persons engaged in entrepreneurial activities. Therefore, a controlled taxpayer debts to foreign organization, recognized the outstanding debt if the amount of such debt is more than 12.5 times the difference between the amount of the taxpayer's assets and the value of the taxpayer's obligations before the Russian organization that has the right to dispose more than 20 per cent of the authorized (share) capital (Fund) of a foreign company (legal entity) directly or indirectly owning more than 20 percent authorized (share) capital (Fund) of the taxpayer. Outstanding debt the amount of which is more than 12.5 times the difference between the amount of the taxpayer's assets and the value of the taxpayer's obligations before the Russian organization that is deemed a controlled debt of the taxpayer to foreign organization if the Russian organization has the right to dispose more than 20 per cent of the authorized (share) capital (Fund) of a foreign company (legal entity) directly or indirectly owning more than 20 percent authorized (share) capital (Fund) of the taxpayer.

The decision as Ural district from 21.02.2017 №F09-94/17
The Resolution as Ural district from 21.02.2017 №F09-94/17 noted that if the FSS established organization or entrepreneur discount rate for insurance contributions "injury", then he cannot undo his decision, citing the fact that the insured did not timely contributions.
The point is this. In October 2013, the Department of social insurance Fund established organization discount rate for insurance contributions "injury" for 2014 in the amount of 29 percent. But in 2015, after the inspection, inspectors found that in 2013, the organization did not timely contributions for April, may and June. In this regard, the Fund issued a decree on the abolition of the established discounts, and assessed additional contributions for 2014 in connection with the cancellation of the discount. As stated by the representatives of the FSS, the insured was in breach of paragraph 8 of the Rules establish discounts and surcharges (app. resolution of the Russian government of 30.05.2012 No. 524; hereinafter — the Rules). Under this paragraph, one of the conditions for the establishment of a discount is the timely payment of current insurance premiums.
The courts of three instances have decided that the cancellation of previously granted and used by the insurer discounts is impossible. The arbitrators noted that at the time of application with a statement of discount contributions receivable the organization was not. And the reason for the infringement of terms of payment of insurance premiums for April, may and June 2013 was an unplanned deterioration in 2013, the economic condition of the enterprise. Moreover, the Fund knew about this at the time of adoption of the decision on granting discounts.
In addition, at the time of issuance of the order in 2015 the price has ended. Since the Rules do not establish the procedure and grounds for cancellation of discounts and allowances, and on the date of filing of application about granting of discounts (October 2013) arrears in contributions was not contested then the order of the Fund is illegal.

The determination of the Supreme court of 06.04.2017 No. 306-КГ17-2349
The Supreme court of the Russian Federation in Definition from 06.04.2017 No. 306-КГ17-2349 came to the conclusion that the amount of monetary rewards for many years of diligent work and in connection with the anniversary date are not remunerated. In this regard, these payments in the base for calculation of insurance premiums are not included.
The point is this. The inspectors of the RPF assessed that the organization of insurance contributions on the amount of bonuses paid to employees for many years of diligent work and in connection with anniversaries. According to inspectors, these payments are a form of remuneration, and therefore should be subject to contributions.
However, the courts of all instances, including the Supreme court decision disagreed, stating the following. According to article 129 of the labour code wages (wage worker) is remuneration for work depending on qualification of the worker, complexity, quantity, quality and conditions of work, as well as compensation and incentive payments. And in this case, the disputed payments were of social character. So, employee premiums were paid on the basis of a local act (Provisions on corporate social programmes). In this document it is agreed that the employer shall pay a lump sum remuneration in order to strengthen corporate culture, maintain the corporate spirit and commitment of employees to the enterprise. The corporate flat fee includes: one-time payment to the anniversary date, a lump-sum compensation to the employee in connection with the awarding of honors and awards.
Thus, the amounts paid in premiums associated with the anniversary date of the date of birth or anniversary of employment, are not stimulating, as it does not depend on the skills of workers are non-recurring. Consequently, these awards are not wages and insurance premiums are not taxed.

The determination of the Supreme court of 10.05.2017 No. 302-КГ17-3832
The Supreme court of the Russian Federation in Definition from 10.05.2017 No. 302-КГ17-3832 came to the conclusion, that otsutstvie of experience of the employee, trudoustroeno before maternity leave, combined with other circumstances, evidences not in favor of the employer (e.g., the relationship of the pregnant woman with the head), may be grounds for denial of reimbursement of maternity benefits.
The point is this. Office of FSS denied the company reimbursement for the payment of benefits for pregnancy and childbirth. The reasons for this. The first — from the date of registration as an individual entrepreneur until the moment of employment of the employee, the entrepreneur carried out activities on their own, without employees. Evidence that during this period increased the amount of work the insured had not submitted. Second — this worker is the daughter of the owner, and was hired four months before maternity leave. Third — at the time of employment this employee had no experience or seniority.
The court recognized the legitimate refusal of the Fund. As pointed out by the arbitrators, the insured did not prove the reality of labour relations, the availability of relevant education and experience of the employee. This suggests that the daughter of the businessman was intentionally employed before the occurrence of the insured event in order to illegally obtain funds from the budget.

The determination of the Supreme court of 18.04.2017 No. 304-КГ16-16937
The Supreme court of the Russian Federation in Definition from 18.04.2017 No. 304-КГ16-16937 came to the conclusion that the Individual entrepreneur, who applies the USN with the object of taxation is income minus expenses, is entitled to determine the income for calculating insurance contributions "for themselves" on the basis of the difference between revenues and expenditures.
The point is this. Individual entrepreneur, applying USN, the annual income of which exceeds 300 000 rubles, calculated the additional contribution to the pension Fund on the basis of the difference between revenues and expenditures. However, the inspectors from the office of the FIU stated that entrepreneur, applying USN, calculate pension contributions based on the full amount of income received. In this situation, according to information from the IRS, income entrepreneur in 2014 amounted to about 30 million rubles. So the owner had to transfer to the pension Fund more than 121 thousand rubles. As the contributions in full I have not been paid, the auditors of the FIU has exposed the requirement about payment of arrears and accrued interest.
The courts of three instances agreed with the auditors: for calculation of contributions income of the entrepreneur"promedica" in excess of 300 000 rubles, it is necessary to consider only the revenues specified in article 346.15 of the Tax code. This article provides that in determining the object of taxation are taken into account revenues and non-operating income. Hence, SP may not reduce the amount of income to costs in the calculation of an additional insurance premium.
However, the Supreme court, this position did not agree and sent the case for review. While the Supreme court has referred to the decision of the constitutional court from 30.11.2016 No. 27 in General, this decision concerned entrepreneurs BASED on. The court explained that the income of an individual entrepreneur, paying income tax and not producing payments to natural persons, shall be reduced by the amount of documented expenses, in accordance with the accounting rules for such costs for purposes of calculating and paying personal income tax.
In turn, the Supreme court noted that the principle of determining the object of taxation, payers of personal income tax is similar to the principle of determining the object of taxation for "promensil" with the object of taxation revenue minus expenses. Latest reduce the received income calculated in accordance with article 346.15 of NK of the Russian Federation, in accordance with article 346.16 of the RF tax code the expenses. In this regard, the conclusion of the COP applies to businesses-"promensil", concluded the Supreme court. Reversing the lower courts ' decisions and sent the case for retrial, the armed forces, essentially ruled in favor of the entrepreneur to the USN: annual income is defined as the difference between revenues and expenditures.

The resolution of as Severo-the Caucasian district from 28.03.2017 № A32-34355/2016
In the Decision of the AU Severo-the Caucasian district from 28.03.2017 № A32-34355/2016 noted that if all the entries in the certificate of incapacity are read, the inspection of the FSS is not entitled to refuse the appointment of and payment of benefits solely on the basis that sick leave is filled in a ballpoint pen instead of ink.
The point is this. The territorial authority FSS has not taken to offset the cost of the organization for the payment of sick leave benefits due to the fact that the doctor signed the certificate of incapacity with a ballpoint pen (with blue ink). He thus violated paragraph 56 of the issuance of sick leave, approved by order of the health Ministry of Russia dated 29.06.2011 No. 624н. The paragraph stated that the records in the Gazette are a black ink or with the use of printing devices. Allowed the use of a gel, capillary or fountain pen. To write with a ballpoint pen is prohibited.
But the courts of three instances with the position of the officials disagreed. As pointed out by the arbitrators, irregularities in the registration of sick leave are small. However, they never admitted by the employer and medical institution.
In addition, the FSS letter dated 30.09.2011 No. 14-03-11/15-11575 explained next. The presence of sick leave technical issues of filling does not give the employer the right to require renewal of a certificate of incapacity to refuse the appointment and benefits, if all the entries in the certificate of incapacity to read.
Given that the fact of occurrence of insured event and payment of hospital in dispute was affirmed, the court recognized the failure of the Fund to offset expenses for the payment of benefits illegal.

Resolution as the far Eastern Federal district from 10.04.2017 № F03-924/2017
In the Resolution as the far Eastern Federal district from 10.04.2017 № F03-924/2017 noted that if the insured corrected the error after the deadline for submission of SCB-M, but before she found the pension Fund, the reason for the penalty FIU no.
The point is this. The organization in due time submitted to the FIU data of the individual personified account in the form of szv-M in may 2016. Later when reporting the error, the insured sent a complementing form. Representatives of the RPF assessed the situation. Because the original information was incorrect, but complementary form sent outside the deadline for submission of reports, the organization has provided incomplete and incorrect information on insured persons. And such violation shall be subject to prosecution under article 17 of the Federal law dated 01.04.1996 № 27-FZ. (According to this rule, the penalty for failure to file form szv-M within the prescribed period is 500 rubles for each insured person). In the end, the organization was fined 10500 rubles.
However, the courts of three instances with the position of the Fund did not agree, stating the following. Pursuant to article 15 of Law 27-FZ, the policyholder is entitled to Supplement and clarify the information given to them about the insured persons in coordination with relevant body of the Pension Fund. In this case, the organization corrected the error before it was discovered in the Foundation. This circumstance proves the absence of fault of the insured.
Referees reminded reviewers that the formal approach to the imposition of penalty was invalid. Any sanction should be applied taking into account a number of principles: culpability and wrongfulness of the act, the proportionality of punishment, the presumption of innocence.
The court also referred to the letter of the FIU from 14.12.2004 № KA-09-25/13379. It explained that the FIU considers it possible not to apply the penalty provided for in article 17 of Law No. 27-FZ in the following cases:
if the insured is self-identified the error and provided reliable information in the personified accounting;
if it is within two weeks corrected discovered by the territorial authority FIU error.

The decision as Severo-the Western district from 07.04.2017 № A56-29135/2016
n the Resolution as the Northwest district of 07.04.2017 № A56-29135/2016 noted that the non-payment or incomplete payment of amounts of tax as a result of understating of tax base or for some other reason, is punishable by a fine in the amount of 20 percent of the unpaid amount (article 122 of the tax code). But, if the taxpayer has overpaid tax in the amount exceeding the arrears, the inspectors have the right not to be fined.
The point is this. After the inspection, the Inspectorate assessed additional income, VAT, and bring her to justice under article 122 of the Tax code for failure to pay tax for the fourth quarter.
The taxpayer challenged the penalty in court. The study — he had an overpayment on VAT for the previous period, exceeding the arrears arose. Because the debt tax was not prosecuted illegally.
The courts of first and appeal instances recognised the penalty lawful. However, the court of cassation supported the organization. Judges are reminded of the explanations of the Plenum of the RF set out in the resolution dated 30.07.2013 n 57. It States that to prosecute under article 122 of the Code, if the actions (inaction) of the person led to failure to pay (incomplete payment) tax, that is to the debt. And such debt does not occur if all the following conditions are met:
on the expiration date of the tax for the tax period for which the arrears accrued, the taxpayer had an overpayment of the same tax that is understated, in an amount not less than the understated tax amount;
at the time of issuance of inspection decisions on the results of a tax audit, the overpayment has not been offset against other debts of the taxpayer.
Thus, since the overpayment of tax in earlier period covers the amount of arrears, the grounds for the charge of fines and bringing the Organization to justice was not, said the court.

Decree of the AU of the East-Siberian region from 01.03.2017 №А19-10707 / 2016
In the resolution of the AU of the East Siberian region of 01.03.2017 NoA19-10707 / 2016 it was noted that if the original of the birth certificate of the child is lost, the costs of paying the "child" allowance can be confirmed by a copy.
The crux of the matter is as follows.
The payment of a lump sum for the birth of a child is made by the employer at the expense of the Social Insurance Fund. The procedure and conditions for the appointment and payment of state benefits to citizens with children (hereinafter referred to as the Procedure) was approved by Order No. 1012n of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation of December 23, Paragraph 28 of this Procedure stipulates that for the payment of a lump sum, a birth certificate is required, among other things.
The organization paid a one-time benefit to the employee, and applied to the FSS branch for reimbursement of funds. The original of the certificate at the time of verification was lost, and a copy of this reference was provided instead. However, representatives of the FSS did not take into account the costs of payment of benefits. Rationale - The procedure does not provide that a copy of this certificate may be provided for the purpose and payment of a lump sum at the birth of the child.
The courts of three instances recognized the decision of the fund as unreasonable, pointing to the following. The basis for the appointment and payment of insurance coverage to the insured person is the occurrence of a documented insurance event (Article 22 of Federal Law No. 165-FZ of July 16, 1999 "On the Fundamentals of Mandatory Social Insurance"). The insured event on compulsory social insurance is recognized, including the birth of a child (children).
In this case, the onset of the insured event (the birth of a child) is proved. During the audit, the organization submitted a copy of the child's birth certificate. In this case, the allowance was paid to the employee on the basis of the original document. In view of the foregoing, the court concluded: the failure to provide a certificate of birth of the child in the framework of the original verification does not indicate a violation of the procedure for payment of benefits.

Resolution No. Ф01-6260 / 2016 of the AU of the Volga-Vyatka District
In Resolution No. Ф01-6260 / 2016 of the Volga-Vyatka District on 06.02.2017, the Voluntary Circuit Circuit circulated the conclusion made by the Constitutional Court regarding the individual applying the FASP regime to Individual Entrepreneurs applying the USN "income minus expenditures" regime.
The court's decision and the arguments used in it allow us to conclude that the IP at the USN-15% can determine the amount of income for calculating the amount of insurance premium for TSOs as the difference between income and expenses.
The crux of the matter is as follows. The amount of "pension" insurance premiums paid by the entrepreneur "for himself" depends on the annual income of the IP. If the income is not more than 300,000 rubles, the amount of payment is fixed. And if the annual income is above 300,000 rubles, then the IP must pay an additional 1% of the amount of income exceeding this amount, but not more than the maximum amount of insurance premiums set by the FIU. The court considered the following dispute. According to the Individual entrepreneur applying the STS regime 15%, the annual income from which an additional insurance premium is calculated is defined as the difference between income and expenses. However, the controllers from the FIU management stated that the SP on the CSS should expect "pension" contributions based on the full amount of the income received. Since the contributions were not paid in full, the controllers demanded payment of arrears and charged penalties.
The courts of the first and appellate instances supported the inspectors. But the arbitration court of the Volga-Vyatka District did not agree with the decision of the lower courts, and sent the case for a new consideration.
As an argument in favor of such a decision, the arbitrators cited the recent ruling of the Constitutional Court of November 30, 2016 No. 27-P. It is curious that this decision of the Constitutional Court was directed at entrepreneurs on the basis of the OCOG. Recall, the high court pointed to the following. When calculating the tax base for personal income tax, individual entrepreneurs have the right to reduce their income by the amount of documented expenses directly related to the extraction of income (professional tax deduction). The composition of expenses is determined in the manner analogous to that established for the purposes of taxation of profit (Clause 1, Article 221 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). Under the profit, as a general rule, is understood income, reduced by expenditure.
In spite of the fact that in this decision of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation nothing is said about the USN and the single tax, the arbitration court decided that the court's conclusion could be extended to the applicants using the USN regime of 15%.
As a result, the court of cassation overturned the decisions of the courts of the first and appellate instances, sending the case for new consideration.

The Regulation of FAS West Siberian District from 07.04.2016 number A67-6704 / 2015 noted
that the money paid to employees under the direction of their one-day trips are not included in the base for the calculation of insurance premiums.
The point is this. Order on establishment of norms of daily stipulated that employees who are sent on business trips, daily allowances in the amount of 700 rubles, and in the case of one-day trips in connection with business necessity -. "Compensatory payment" in the amount of 700 rubles. These payments in the base for calculation of insurance premiums are not included.
The inspectors from the FIU management said that the day when one-day trips are not provided by the legislation. Consequently, these payments had to charge premiums.
The courts of three instances decided in favor of the organization. As explained by the referees, the disputed payments are not daily in view of the definition contained in the labor legislation. However, based on the direction and content of these economic benefits, they can be recognized as reimbursement of other expenses related to official business, which are produced with the knowledge or permission of the employer. In this connection, said "compensation payment" are not income (economic benefits) of employees aimed at a one-day trip. Since the costs of employees are documented, that these funds are not subject to insurance contributions on the basis of Article 9 of the Federal Law of 24.07.09 number 212-FZ.
23 August
The Regulation of FAS Volga-Vyatka district from 7/18/2016 number A82-13922 / 2015 noted
That compensation for the cost of meals not provided the employment contract is of a social character, is not an element of remuneration and, therefore, not subject to insurance contributions.
The point is this. In accordance with the collective agreement the employer partially paid employees set meals in the dining room on the premises. The amounts of compensation to the base for the calculation of insurance premiums were not included. Inspectors FSS stated that the payments made in the framework of the employment relationship, and, accordingly, are subject to contribution under Article 7 of the Federal Law of 24.07.09 № 212-FZ (hereinafter - the Law № 212-FZ).
However, the court did not accept the position of the FSS on the basis of the following arguments. Compensation paid the cost of power in accordance with section 3 "Social Guarantees" of the collective agreement, that is, wearing a social character. It did not depend on the qualifications of employees, complexity, quality of performance, not an element of remuneration, including because it was not available for employment contracts. Consequently, this payment is not recognized the object of taxation of insurance premiums.

The Regulation of FAS West Siberian District in the judgment of 24.5.2016 number A27-8705 / 2015 noted
That the amount of VAT accrual of inspection during the audit, could be included in expenses for profits tax purposes.
The point is this. When calculating the tax on profit of organizations included in the VAT expenses, accrual of inspection in connection with the unjustified use of taxpayer UTII. However, the inspectors took off costs. Justification - specified amount of VAT subject to the rules of paragraph 19 of article 270 of the Tax Code, which prohibits to take into account the amount of tax as an expense.
The court's decision
The court upheld the taxpayer, pointing to the next. In paragraph 19 of article 270 of the Tax Code states that the calculation of income tax is not accounted for tax imposed on buyers of goods. And in this case the VAT accrual of inspection during the inspection, buyers did not show, could not be chargeable to them and, accordingly, is subject to payment of the own funds of the organization. Consequently, the amount of VAT, additionally accrued in connection with the unjustified use of UTII included in expenses for income tax on the basis of paragraph 1 of Article 264 of the Tax Code.
02 August
Regulation of FAS Moscow District dated 06.29.2016 number A40-158373 / 2014 noted
that the fact that the organization wrongly accrued premiums on non-taxable payment, does not give her the right to include the amount of these contributions to the costs of the taxation of profits.
The point is this. Insurance premiums in the non-budgetary funds are debited in other expenses on the basis of subparagraph 1 of paragraph 1 of Article 264 of the Tax Code. Guided by this standard, the organization has taken into account in the costs of profit tax the amount of insurance premiums, calculated with scholarships for apprenticeship agreements. However, the inspection took off costs and assessed additional income tax. The reason - the payment of apprenticeship agreements are not subject to insurance contributions.
The court agreed with the inspection, specifying the following. In this situation, according to apprenticeship agreements, employees were required to be trained and work under an employment contract with the employer for at least three years. Scholarship students are paid does not depend on the skill, complexity, quality, specific conditions for carrying out the work itself, and therefore is not recognized wages. Thus, since the subject of apprenticeship contract is not the fulfillment of the labor functions scholarship that is paid trainee person, including workers' organizations are not subject to insurance contributions. Accordingly, wrongly paid premiums are not deductible.

Russia's Supreme Court in ruling dated 13/7/2016 number 305 KG16-6052 concluded
The Russian Supreme Court ruling dated 13/7/2016 number 305 KG16-6052 came to the conclusion that the decision by the verification must be signed by the official who considered the case materials. If the inspection report and the objections of the insured examined deputy chief of the RPF, and the decision by the verification was signed by the chief, does not participate in the examination of test materials, it is grounds for cancellation of the decision on additional and penalty.
The point is this. The organization asked the court to annul the FIU management decision to charge additional premiums, penalties and fines. Insured referred to the violation of the decision procedure. To express it in that the decision on the audit has been signed by the head of the territorial fund management, who was not involved in the examination of test materials.
The court found that the fund actually violated the essential conditions of the examination materials testing procedures. Given the similarity of the tax and legal relations in the payment of premiums in this case, apply the provisions of Resolution of the Plenum of the RF from 30.07.2013 № 57. In paragraph 42 of the resolution states: judgment on the results of consideration of tax inspection materials is not the official of the tax authority, which is considered these materials is a violation of the essential conditions of the procedure of the decision of the audit. Indeed, in this case audited deprived of the opportunity to give an explanation directly to the official, who made the decision.
In this situation, check the materials studied deputy chief and chief of the contested decision was made. Thus, considering the circumstances of the audit materials objectively could not be known to the official who did not participate in the consideration of these materials. Contributors, in turn, was unable to give reasoned arguments of the official, who has decided on the audit results. Since the irregularities when considering testing of materials are essential, the court recognized as invalid FIU management solution.

Russia's Supreme Court in ruling dated 22.6.2016 number 303-KG 16-657 concluded
The Russian Supreme Court ruling dated 22.6.2016 KG16-657 number 303 came to the conclusion that if the VAT in the revised declaration the amount of tax to be recovered has increased or remained unchanged compared with the amount recorded in the initial declaration, the taxpayer is not required to pay interest for using the VAT amounts received in a declarative manner.
The point is this. If certain conditions are met (p. 2, 4, 6, 7, Art. 176.1 of the Tax Code), the Organization has the right to use the declarative procedure of VAT reimbursement. In accordance with this order a refund or credit of tax claimed for reimbursement in the declaration, made before the completion of a desk audit of the Declaration.
The right to an accelerated VAT refund took the organization of the Magadan Region. The taxpayer submitted a VAT return, presenting recoverable in a declarative procedure tax 40 million. Rubles. Tax Inspectorate decided to VAT refund. Upon receipt thereof, but before the completion of a desk audit of the initial declaration, the organization submitted to the IRS revised declaration. In it the amount of tax to be recovered has been declared in a larger size - 40.1 million rubles.. Because of this inspection it canceled the earlier decision on the VAT refund, as well as accrued interest to the taxpayer referred to in Article 176.1 of the Tax Code for the use of received in the amount of tax declarative manner.
The Supreme Court concluded that the calculation of interest on the situation described previously refunded VAT amount unduly. Interest rates established by paragraphs 15 and 17 of Article 176.1 of the Tax Code, according to its legal nature, are compensation for losses incurred by the budget in connection with excessive compensation tax. And in the given situation, the taxpayer's actions did not lead to budget losses and were not unlawful nature. On this basis, the court came to the following conclusion. In the case where "utochnenke" the amount of VAT to be recovered, has changed in a big way compared to the amount contained in the initial declaration, interest on the amount refunded by application of VAT is not charged order.

The Regulation of FAS West Siberian District in a ruling of 6/8/2016 number A03-9004 / 2015 noted
AC Resolution of the North Caucasus region in its judgment of 6.3.2016 number A20-3122 / 2015 noted that if a mistake when filling a leaf of invalidity admitted medical institution, but the fact of the disease FSS employee does not dispute the grounds for refusing to accept offset costs on benefits for such sick leave does not.
The point is this. Social Security Fund did not take to offset costs in the amount of 562 thousand. Rubles for the payment of temporary disability benefits. The reason - the certificate of incapacity have been issued in violation of the Order granting sick leave (approved by Order of the RF Ministry of Public Health from 29.06.2011 № 624n; hereinafter - the Order № 624n.). In particular, in a document signature physician absent in the other - correcting entry was entered incorrectly.
The courts of three instances recognized fund unjustified refusal. Referees were reminded verified that the basis for the appointment and payment of insurance coverage is offensive documented accident. This is stated in Article 22 of the Federal Law of 16.07.99 number 165-FZ. In the present case, the facts of occurrence of insurance claims were not challenged in the form of temporary disability. With regard to the violation of the order number 624n when filling sick leave, these violations were committed employees of the hospital. The negative consequences of non-compliance with medical institutions of the current legislation are assigned directly to them, rather than the policyholder. After all, the employer has no right to control the correctness of sick leave (the decision of the RF from 11.12.2012 № 10605/12).
In view of the court came to the following conclusion. Since the errors admitted directly to medical institutions, and the facts are not disputed disability themselves, then the fund had no reason for failing to offset the cost of allowances on controversial sick leave.
4th July
The Regulation of FAS West Siberian District in a ruling of 6/8/2016 number A03-9004 / 2015 noted
AC Resolution of the West Siberian District in a ruling of 8/6/2016 number A03-9004 / 2015 noted that if the temporary disability benefits or childcare paid violations, the Social Security Fund may refuse to reimburse funds (recognizing the costs). However, the charge premiums to the amount of allowances unduly paid by the employer is not entitled to the controllers.
The point is this. Due to the incorrect calculation of average earnings and other bugs organization has paid benefits to employees for child care and temporary disability in oversized. In connection with this branch of the FSS refused to set off the overpaid amount and the organization obliged to pay arrears in the amount of missed offset benefits. In this case in the amount of the arrears accrued premiums controllers.
The court found additional charging illegal fees, pointing to the next. Insurance premiums are subject to payment of accrued within the employment relationship (Art. 7 of the Federal Law dated 24.07.2009 number 212-FZ). This provision does not provide an absolute calculation of insurance premiums on the amounts to offset missed. After all, they are not automatically benefit in favor of workers in the framework of labor relations. Disputed amounts are allocated to the payment of temporary disability. Therefore, even if the Social Security Fund did not take to offset the amount of allowances, credit additionally on the amount of insurance premiums is not necessary.

The Regulation of FAS Volga District from 26/04/2016 number F06-7280 / 2016 noted
The Ordinance AS Volga District from 26.4.2016 number F06-7280 / 2016 noted that the transfer of the advance payment of income tax delayed is not a cause for prosecution under article 122 of the Tax Code.
The point is this. During the site inspection organization passed a revised declaration of income tax for the I quarter of 2012, for the first half of 2012, for the first half 2013 with supplementary estimates to the amount of tax payable. Tax recalled paragraph 4 of Article 81 of the Tax Code exempts from liability in the event that at the time of adjusting the taxpayer was not aware of an error is detected by the tax authority or the appointment of their on-site inspection. In this case, the refined declaration presented after the organization learned of the appointment of site inspection. Thus, the taxpayer did not fulfill the conditions provided for in paragraph 4 of Article 81 of the Tax Code, which is the basis for the fine on the basis of paragraph 1 of Article 122 of the Tax Code.
However, the court upheld the taxpayer. The judges reasoned as follows. According to paragraph 1 of Article 122 of the Tax Code, the non-payment or incomplete tax resulting understatement of the tax base subject to a fine in the amount of 20 percent of the unpaid tax. As can be seen, in this article directly points to the liability in the case of "non-payment or partial payment of amounts of tax." In paragraph 20 of Resolution of the Plenum of 30.07.2013 number 57takzhe clarified: underestimation of the tax base constitutes an offense only if such actions (inaction) have led to the tax debt. Meanwhile, the tax period for income tax is a calendar year. The amount of tax is calculated and paid to the budget for advance payments on an accrual basis, and the recalculation is done at the end of the year. Consequently, the Court concluded that, in the case of non-payment or incomplete payment of the advance payment for any tax to the taxpayer can be fined under article 122 of the Tax Code. Can only be fined for tax evasion rather than advance tax payment.

The Regulation AC Northwestern District from 06/05/2016 number A26-6841 / 2015 noted
The Regulation AC Northwestern District from 06/05/2016 number A26-6841 / 2015 noted that during the reorganization, a new legal entity in the form of transformation. In this regard, the assignee can not automatically obtain the right to use the simplified tax system, which had its predecessor. To apply the STS mode, the newly formed organization to be 30 days from the statement date of registration to submit a notification to the tax office. This conclusion follows from the decision of the AU Northwestern District from 05/06/2016 number A26-6841 / 2015.
The point is this. Prior to the reorganization in the form of transformation (change of legal form), the company applied the simplified system of taxation. Assignee considers that it is entitled to automatically continue to use the simplified tax system. However, the tax authorities stated that STS can be used only after the notification of the transition to the special regime. In paragraph 2 of Article 346.13 of the Tax Code states that such notification shall be submitted no later than 30 calendar days from the date of registration of the newly created organization. In this case, the organization sent a notice after the expiry of this period. Therefore, the grounds for the application of the said special regimes there, decided to tax.
The taxpayer appealed to the court. According to the organization, from the provisions of Article 50 of the Tax Code should be that by the newly arisen as a result of reorganization of legal entities, along with other rights and goes right to the use of STS mode. Because the Tax Code does not regulate the procedure for transition to the USN legal entity created by the reorganization, filing the notice within 30 days from the date of the registration statement is not a violation.
However, the appeal court recognized the taxpayer's position incorrect, stating the following. Article 50 of the Tax Code defines the order of execution of obligations on payment of taxes (fees, fines and penalties) in the reorganization of the legal entity, rather than the choice of the tax system. As a result of conversion, a new legal entity. On the basis of paragraph 1 of Article 346.11 and paragraph 2 of Article 346.13 of the Tax Code of the RF range of the simplified tax system is the right of the newly created organization, with appropriate expression of the will must be expressed in the notice, which shall be submitted not later than 30 calendar days from the organization setting the date of registration with the tax authority. In this situation, the predecessor of which is applied the simplified tax system, stop the activity. The newly formed organization was set for tax registration November 24, 2014, and the notification of the transition to the USN filed February 20, 2015, that is to say out of time. Consequently, the tax on company rightly pointed out her lack of the right to use the simplified tax system mode.
16th June
The Regulation of FAS Moscow District on 03/24/2016 number A40-35910 / 2015 noted
The Decree of the speaker of the Moscow District 3/24/2016 number A40-35910 / 2015 noted that if the inspectors from the Pension Fund decided to verify, without notifying the insurer of the time and place of the test materials, the decision to charge additional recognized illegal.
The point is this. The inspectors from the regional FIU management attracted the insurer liable for failing to pay contributions on the basis of paragraph 1 of Article 46 of the Federal Law dated 24.07.2009 № 212-FZ (hereinafter - the Law № 212-FZ). The organization refused to pay a fine, stating that the fund has not notified it of the time and place of the desk audit materials. Thus, inspectors have made substantial violation of the order of consideration of materials testing.
The court's decision
The court upheld the insurer, stating the following. Article 39 of the Law № 212-FZ provides that the test person has the right to participate in the review process testing materials. However, his absence is not an obstacle for the investigation verification materials only if the policyholder has been duly notified of the time and place of their consideration.
In a dispute that the judge dismantled speaker of the Moscow District, it was found that the audit report did not contain information about the time and place of the test materials. Evidence that the insurer has been notified with the date the consideration of test materials are also provided.
Thus, without notifying the organization duly considering the revision of the materials, the Fund deprived of the insured the right to submit objections, explanations and additional documents. This indicates a significant violation of the procedures for handling test material and a ground for annulment of a decision reached as a result of such verification, the court pointed out.
14th June
The Supreme Court of the Russian Federation in Definition from 5/10/2016 No. 310-KG16-3453 has come to a conclusion
The Supreme Court of the Russian Federation in Determination from 5/10/2016 No. 310-KG16-3453 has come to a conclusion that if in the presence of accounts in different credit institutions the taxpayer shows payment orders on transfer of a tax in "problem" bank, and before the end of the tax (reporting) period, then it demonstrates unfair behavior of the Organization.
The main point such is. On July 18, 2014 the organization has provided to inspectorate of the declaration for the VAT in II and III quarters with a tax amount to payment 1,4 and 1,08 million rubles respectively. In the same day the taxpayer has shown payment orders on transfer of tax amounts in bank. However in the budget only the part of money has arrived. As it has become clear, the remained amount the bank has charged the taxpayer off the settlement account, but to destination has not listed due to the lack of means on correspondent account.
Inspectors have declared that the obligation of the Organization for the tax discharge in this case is not considered completely performed, and have notified the taxpayer on debt on the VAT in the amount of 361 thousand rubles.
The trial court has supported the taxpayer, having referred to point 3 of article 45 of the Tax code Russian Federation. According to this regulation, the obligation on tax payment is considered performed from the date of presentation in bank of the order on money transfer from the account of the taxpayer in bank in the presence on it a sufficient cash remaining balance on the maturity day.
However courts of higher instances, including the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, have made the decision for benefit of inspection. Arbitrators have specified unfair actions of the taxpayer. About it, according to judges, witnessed the following.
The first. The license at bank has been withdrawn on July 25, that is in a week after sight of payment orders on payment of the VAT. However one week prior to revocation of license the credit institution has suspended acceptance of deposits what repeatedly reported mass media about.
The second. The taxpayer did not transfer funds to partners through "problem" bank, money for the account also did not arrive. Actually in this bank only payment orders on transfer of taxes according to which payment due date has not come were arranged.
The third. The Organization had an account in other credit institution on which there was enough money for budget contribution of tax payments. After July 15, 2014 the taxpayer made all the calculations with partners through this account.
Money transfer on account of payment of the VAT before a payment due date and in case of awareness of the taxpayer on problems at banking organization demonstrates his unfair behavior, judges have specified. Making tax payments through "problem" bank, the taxpayer shall realize possible consequences of not receipt of funds in the budget, however has not taken adequate measures on execution of legally established tax obligation. Taking into account stated, judges have refused to recognize an obligation on the payment of the VAT performed and have obliged the taxpayer to pay a disputed amount of a shortage.

The resolution EXPERT of the Moscow district from 5/11/2016 it is noted No. F05-5284/2016
In the Resolution EXPERT of the Moscow district from 5/11/2016 it is noted No. F05-5284/2016 that if in a settlement period the worker worked at the same employers, as at the time of a loss occurrence (an illness or a maternity leave), then he can receive hospital or decretive benefit both on principle place of employment, and on place of employment on the terms of external combining jobs. And this order works even if the employee has worked in the organization in combination an incomplete settlement period.
The main point such is. The worker has gone on a maternity leave in 2013. At the time of a loss occurrence it has been borrowed from two employers. At the same time on principle place of employment she worked all settlement period (2011 and 2012), and in combination — only one year (2012). The maternity allowance to it was paid by both employers (proceeding from an average salary on each place of employment).
However controllers from department Social Insurance Fund have declared that point 2 of article 13 of the Law No. 255-FZ could be applied only if the woman in two calendar years preceding year of a loss occurrence worked in both organizations. And as in combination she worked only since 2012, to calculate benefit proceeding from average earnings in two prior years, that is for 2011 and 2012, it is impossible. In this case decretive relied only on principle place of employment. As a result expenses of the organization in which the worker is a part-time employee have not been accepted to offsetting.
However the court has not agreed with representatives of the Social Insurance Fund. Arbitrators have noted that in point 2 of article 13 of the Law No. 255-FZ there are no provisions obliging to fulfill in combination two complete calendar years preceding year in which the worker has gone to the decree. Does not contain other restrictions connected with receipt of maternity allowances by persons which work part-time the Law No. 255-FZ also. On this basis the court recognized refusal of fund in recognition of expenses illegal.
30th May
In the Resolution EXPERT of the Northwest federal district in the resolution from 4/21/2016 it is noted No. A66-3360/2015
In the Resolution EXPERT of the Northwest federal district in the resolution from 4/21/2016 it is noted No. A66-3360/2015 that lack of copies of service records of the dismissed workers is not the basis for refusal of the Social Insurance Fund in recognition of expenses on allowance payment on pregnancy and childbirth.
The main point such is. The Social Insurance Fund has not accepted to offsetting expenses on allowance payment on pregnancy and childbirth. The reason — the insurer has not provided the copy of the service record of the worker, and without it there is no opportunity to check correctness of calculation of insurance years of service for purpose of benefit.
The insurer has explained that at the time of check the employee did not work in this organization any more. However in Fund have declared that it is necessary to store copies of service records, including, and the dismissed workers. At the same time officials have referred to the rules of calculation and confirmation of insurance years of service approved by the order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation from 2/6/2007 No. 91. According to the main document specified to rules confirming the periods of work on the employment contract the service record is. The documents confirming the work periods included in insurance years of service are represented at the destination and allowance payments (item 20 Governed).
The court has supported the organization, having specified the following. The order of the Government of the Russian Federation from 4/16/2003 No. 225 has approved Rules of maintaining and storage of service records, production of forms of the service record and providing employers with them. In point 43 of these Rules it is established: the service records which are not received by workers in case of dismissal are stored poste restante at the employer according to the requirements to their storage established by the legislation on archiving. Does not follow from this regulation that the employer is obliged to keep copies of service records after dismissal of workers. Therefore, the requirement of fund to provide copies of service records of the dismissed workers is illegal.
According to arbitrators, the right to compensation (offsetting) of disputed amounts is confirmed by leaves of disability and documents on expenses on allowance payment. The data on duration of insurance years of service specified the sick leave note, the employer has determined at the time of purpose of benefits based on the service record of the employee. As the Social Insurance Fund has not declared other reasons which have not allowed it to accept expenses, the court recognized refusal in recognition of expenses illegal.

The Supreme Court of the Russian Federation in definition from 5/19/2016 No. 304-KG16-1137 has come to a conclusion
The Supreme Court of the Russian Federation in determination from 5/19/2016 No. 304-KG16-1137 has come to a conclusion that on copies of rail waybills which need to be provided to tax authorities for confirmation of a zero rate of the VAT in case of commodity export a stamp "Release is resolved" is not put down. Respectively, in case of lack of the specified mark tax specialists have no right to make the taxpayer responsible for unreasonable application of a zero rate and to additionally accrue to it a tax.
In case of sales of goods, exported in a customs procedure of export, the VAT is estimated on a zero rate in the presence of the documents listed in point 1 of article 165 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. Copies of transport, shipping or other documents which confirm cargo exportation out of borders of the Russian Federation are a part of these documents. In case of commodity exportation through border of the Russian Federation with a state member of the Customs union on which customs control is cancelled the taxpayer shall provide copies of transport and shipping documents with marks of Russian Federation customs. In case of commodity exportation in a customs procedure of export through border of the Russian Federation with a state member of the Customs union to the third countries the customs declaration (its copy) with marks of Russian Federation customs (subitems 3 and 4 of item 1 of Art. 165 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation) is submitted. At the same time in the Tax code it is not specified on what specifically the document the mark of customs shall be put down. Some tax authorities consider that the stamp of customs shall stand, including, on copies of rail waybills.
The organization from Novosibirsk has faced a similar problem. The taxpayer has exported goods in a customs procedure of export to the Republic of Uzbekistan through the Republic of Kazakhstan which is the member of the Customs union. Goods were transported by rail.
For confirmation of a zero rate of the VAT the taxpayer has submitted the documents specified in article 165 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. In particular, copies of rail waybills on which the customs authority has made marks about a station of origin and about date of sending goods have been shown. However the inspectorate has refused to confirm a zero rate of the VAT. The reason - on copies of the rail waybills provided by the taxpayer is not present a stamp "Release is resolved".
Courts of all instances recognized refusal of inspection illegal. In the considered situation the mark "Release Is Resolved" is available on all customs declarations on which number of the corresponding rail waybill is specified. These documents confirm movement of goods. Inspection does not challenge the actual commodity export. As for a stamp "Release is resolved" on copies of rail waybills, its putting down on these documents is not provided by the customs legislation. Therefore, the taxpayer cannot be deprived of the right to application of a zero rate of the VAT due to the lack of the mark "Release Is Resolved" in duplicates of rail waybills.

In the Resolution EXPERT of the Moscow district from 3/15/2016 it is noted No. A40-156074/2014
In the Resolution EXPERT of the Moscow district from 3/15/2016 it is noted No. A40-156074/2014 that if the Social Insurance Fund has out of time compensated funds for allowance payment, then the insurer has the right to require from it interest payment.
The main point such is. The organization has paid to the worker a maternity allowance then has filed in the Social Insurance Fund a petition for compensation of means. The fund has refused. Later the court recognized the decision of officials illegal, and the fund has returned means to the insurer. As it has been made with delay, the organization has decided to collect interest for using someone else's money from fund. Percent have been calculated proceeding from 1/300 refunding rates of the Central Bank for each day of delay (Art. 395 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the p. 11, 14, 17 of Art. 26 of the Federal law of 24.07.09 No. 212-FZ).
Judgment
Courts of three instances were recognized that the insurer legally requires to pay to him interests. Judges argued as follows. The amount of insurance premiums of the Social Insurance Fund decreases by the amount of the made expenses on payment of an insurance coverage to insured persons. If it is not enough assessed insurance premiums for allowance payment to workers in full, the insurer addresses for means in fund of a social insurance. In turn the territorial authority of the insurer allocates funds within 10 calendar days from the date of provision of all necessary documents.
The federal law from 12/29/2006 No. 255-FZ "About compulsory social insurance on a case of temporary disability and in connection with motherhood" does not regulate a special order of return of excessively paid fees on compulsory social insurance. But considering similarity of the legal nature of insurance premiums for mandatory pension insurance and fees on compulsory social insurance, the court has come to a conclusion that excessively paid fees return to the Social Insurance Fund as it should be, stipulated in Clause 26 Federal laws of 24.07.09 No. 212-FZ. According to this article, the amount of excessively paid fees is subject to return according to the statement of the payer of insurance premiums within one month from the date of receipt of such statement. If return of the amount of excessively paid fees is performed with violation of term, then on the amount of excessively paid fees which is not returned in due time, percent for each calendar day of violation of term of return are charged.
In this case in response to the statement of the insurer for compensation of means the fund has illegally refused. Money has been transferred only after adjudication without charge of percent for untimely return. Thus, as the exceeded expenses over assessed contributions have been returned out of time, the court has obliged officials to pay interests.

In the Resolution EXPERT of West Siberian Federal District in the resolution from 3/29/2016 it is noted No. A03-15391/2015
In the Resolution EXPERT of West Siberian Federal District in the resolution from 3/29/2016 it is noted No. A03-15391/2015 that if the facts of disability and payment of hospital benefits are documented and are not challenged by Social insurance fund, then the insignificant mistakes in case of registration of leaves of disability made by the doctor are not the basis for refusal in recognition of expenses on allowance payment.
The main point such is. Inspectors of the Social Insurance Fund have not accepted to offsetting expenses on allowance payment because of the mistakes made by medical institutions in case of registration of sick leave notes. So, the doctor has undersigned for one leaf of disability ink of blue color (having corrected then on black color). At the same time, record in a leaf of disability shall be executed by ink of black color or using printers (item 65 of the Order of issue of leaves of disability, утв. the order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation from 6/29/2011 No. 624n (further — the Order No. 624n)). In other bulletin in the line "Disability Reason" the incorrect two-place code is specified. Also incorrect correction in the line "Place of Employment — the Name of the Organization" has been allowed. We will remind that according to point 65 of the Order No. 624n, wrong record is accurately crossed out, and the correct record is made on the back of the form of a leaf of disability, is confirmed by the record "corrected to trust", the signature and the employer's seal.
At the same time representatives of the Social Insurance Fund have referred to point 10 of the Regulations on Social insurance fund (утв. the order of the Government of the Russian Federation from 2/12/1994 No. 101; further — the Provision No. 101). In it it is told that responsibility for correctness of charge and an expenditure of means of the national social insurance are born by the head of the organization and the chief accountant.
But courts of three instances recognized refusal of fund unreasonable. Arbitrators have specified: the listed shortcomings allowed in case of registration of sick leave notes do not influence data, "having essential value for acceptance to offsetting of expenses on compulsory social insurance". Besides the fund does not challenge the fact of an illness of workers and justification of issue of sick leave notes. That is violations of a special-purpose character of an expenditure of means it is not established.
Also judges have explained to representatives of the Social Insurance Fund that point 10 of the Provision No. 101 obliges the Organization to watch correctness of charge and an expenditure of means of the national social insurance, but not order of issue of disability leaves by the medical organizations.
Taking into account stated, arbitrators have come to a conclusion: the bases for refusal in assignment for expense recovery or in acceptance to offsetting of expenses according to controversial bulletins were not.
The Russian Constitutional Court ruling dated 10.03.2016, № 571-O with reference to the Decree of 17.03.2009 № 5-P noted that per se rules of the field tax audit, suggesting the possibility of revising the size of the tax obligations of the taxpayer for a particular the tax period in comparison with the size of its previously established under the desk tax audit (and hence the removal of the budget previously submitted to the taxpayer the amount of tax rebate), can not be considered as violating the constitutional rights of taxpayers. Moreover, as the provision of judicial control, they are a mechanism for determining the actual size of the tax obligations of the taxpayer, the necessary from the standpoint of compliance with the balance of private and public interests in the field of taxes and fees.

Determination of the Supreme Court dated 12.04.2016 number 306 KG-16-2522
In the definition of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation from 12/04/2016 number 306-KG16-2522 noted that the termination of a desk audit declarations in connection with the submission of the revised declaration is not a ground for exemption from the taxpayer's tax liability under Article 126 of the Tax Code for failure to submit the documents requested during the audit previous declaration.
The point is this. During a desk audit the revised declaration number 1 tax authorities asked the company for additional documents, confirming the validity of VAT deductions. Deadline for submission - no later than 11 March. March 7 sent to the taxpayer inspection revised declaration number 2. In this case, the documents requested at check first adjusted declaration were not provided. For this reason, inspectors fined the organization on the basis of Article 126 of the Tax Code. The fine amounted to 3 400 rubles (17 documents were requested, the penalty for failure to submit one document is 200 rubles.)
The taxpayer challenged the fine in court. The representative of the organization said that, since the disputed claim was exposed as part of discontinued desk audit the revised declaration number 1, then it does not need to perform. Accordingly, the taxpayer can not be held liable for failure to comply with such a requirement.
However, the courts, including the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, supported by inspection. Arbitrators noted that during the desk audit, inspectors have the right to request additional information from the taxpayer, explanations and documents confirming the correctness of calculation and timeliness of payment of taxes (Art. 88 of the Tax Code). In turn, the taxpayer is obliged to submit the following documents within 10 days from the date of receipt of the claim (p. 3 and 4 of Art. 93 of the Tax Code). Having analyzed the provisions of Articles 88 and 93 of the Tax Code, the arbitrators came to the following conclusion. Termination of a desk audit of the original declaration in connection with the "utochnenki" is not a ground for exemption from the taxpayer's tax liability under Article 126 of the Tax Code. Thus, the taxpayer was required to submit the documents requested within the specified declaration verification number 1. Submission of an updated Declaration IFTS number 2, including before the deadline allotted for submission of the requested documents, does not relieve him from this obligation.

Resolution of the Plenum of the Russian Armed Forces from 24.03.2016, the number 7
Resolution of the Plenum of the Russian Armed Forces from 24.03.2016, № 7, in order to ensure the unity of the practice of the courts of the provisions of the Civil Code on liability for breach of obligations, brought clarification. For example:
RF Civil Code provisions in the amended Law № 42-FZ amended, for example, Article 317.1 of the Civil Code shall not apply to rights and obligations arising from contracts concluded before the date of its entry into force (until 1 June 2015). In disputes of these contracts should be guided by the previously applied the editorship of the Civil Code with regard to the established practice of its application (Sec. 2, Art. 4, second paragraph n. 4, Art. 421, para. 2, Art. 422 of the Civil Code). However, when deciding on charging interest for failure monetary obligation arising under a prisoner until June 1, 2015 agreement, in respect of periods of delay that occurred on June 1, 2015, the rate of interest is determined in accordance with paragraph 1 of Article 395 of the Civil Code as amended by Law N 42-FZ (n. 83);
the amount of interest to be collected according to the rules of Article 395 of the Civil Code, is determined on the day the court decision on the basis of the periods that occurred before the specified date. Interest on borrowed funds at the request of the plaintiff charged on the day of payment of these funds to the lender. Simultaneously with the establishment of the amount of interest to be recovered, the court in the presence of the plaintiff's claim in the operative part of the decision indicates the collection of interest prior to the actual performance of the obligation (para. 3, Art. 395 of the Civil Code). In this case the date of actual execution of commitments, in particular the payment of the debt to the creditor, is included in the interest calculation period. Calculation of interest accrued after the decision, made in the course of its execution by the bailiff, and in cases established by law - in other bodies and organizations, including the Treasury authorities, banks and other credit organizations, officials and citizens (p. 1, Art. 7, Art. 8, pp. 16, para. 1, Art. 64 and p. 2, Art. 70 of the Law on Enforcement Proceedings). The rate of interest is determined by the average bank interest rates on deposits of individuals that occurred during the periods after the decision (para. 1, Art. 395 of the Civil Code) (p. 48).

AS Resolution of the North-West District of 02/18/2016 number A26-1774/2015
The Regulation of FAS Northwestern District from 02.18.2016 number A26-1774 / 2015 noted that even if the notice of voluntary refusal of the application of the simplified tax system and transition to the Ba mode mode is directed to the inspection skip the deadline, the taxpayer is entitled to apply the general regime of taxation.
The point is this. The organization has notified the tax authority on the transition to the simplified tax system from January 1, 2012, but later decided not to use the "uproschenku" and continued to work on a common tax regime. In this case a notice of refusal to apply the simplified tax system and the transition to the general regime came to an inspection, only 10 July 2012, although by law this document to be lodged no later than 15 January 2012. At the end of the second quarter of 2012, the organization handed over a declaration of VAT, stating the amount of tax to be recovered.
Inspectors said that the use of Ba and wrongfully denied the deduction. Justification is. The taxpayer, who has moved on USN, should remain in this special regimes until the end of the tax period, ie until 31 December. Voluntary withdrawal from the simplified tax system is possible in the case of an appropriate notification in accordance with Article 346.13 of the Tax Code the term - until January 15 of the year in which there was a change of the taxation system. Skipping this term means that the taxpayer must continue to use the simplified tax system before the end of the year.
The trial court agreed with the tax authorities. However, the courts of appeal and cassation courts have recognized that the taxpayer appropriateness of Ba. The transition to the simplified tax system or return to a different tax regime is voluntary (Art. 346.11 of the Tax Code). The voluntary transition to the simplified tax system presupposes the existence of the organization right before the application of "simplified taxation" to change his mind and stay on the common tax regime. Due to the fact that the rejection of the use of the simplified tax system is notifying, untimely submission of the notification is not a reason to recognize the illegal use of a common system of taxation. The fact that the transition to the simplified tax system must be supported by tax accounting in accordance with the requirements of Section 346.24 of the Tax Code, as well as the payment of taxes under the simplified tax system. Thus, defected to the USN are considered organizations that are not only sent to the tax authority notified of the transition to the USN, but actually applied the tax regime. In this case, the organization shall pay the tax and submit reports under the general tax regime, rather than the simplified tax system. Thus, the taxpayer and the appropriateness of Ba said the VAT deduction.

Money given accountability for the acquisition of material assets are not subject to personal income tax only
Russia's Supreme Court in the determination of the number 302, 3.9.2016 16-450 KG came to the conclusion that the money given to accountability for the acquisition of material assets are not subject to personal income tax only if the supporting documents (such as receipts) contain all the requisites established by the legislation, including the specific name of the goods. If some details are not filled or contains general wording "stationery", "household chemicals", "Children's Christmas gifts," the inspectors can recognize cash taxable income of the employee.
The point is this. Employees of the organization received a cash account for household needs. In support costs were submitted expense report with the documents confirming the payment of goods and materials. However, the inspection stated that receipts drawn up in violation of the current legislation. So, they do not indicate the name of the economic entity, prepared the document (as well as name, job title, name of the persons who signed the checks). In addition, the number of checks is no specific product names. Instead, use general language, "business expenses", "stationery", "Products", "household chemicals", "Materials", "spending", "children's Christmas gifts." According to the tax authorities, the absence of properly executed original documents indicates that on payment of the cost of inventories is not confirmed. Accordingly, the petty cash should be included in the taxable income of employees. On this basis, inspectors assessed that the personal income tax in the amount of 430 thousand. Rubles.
The organization appealed to the court. In its defense, the taxpayer claimed that he had taken from the employees expense reports, thus confirming that the money spent on household needs. This means that the taxable income of the personal income tax from the employee does not arise. As proof of posting and expenditure adopted under the cash report for production purposes in the company referred to the statements of account 10.
But the courts of all instances recognized additional taxation justified. First of all, the arbitrators referred to the decision of the Presidium from 03.02.09 №11714 / 08. It states: money given accountability for the acquisition of material assets are not subject to personal income tax only in the case if the workers have documented costs incurred, and commodities and materials adopted by the organization on the account. According to Article 9 of the Federal Law of 06.12.11 number 402-FZ of accounting, every fact of economic life is subject to registration of primary accounting documents. The form such an instrument should contain mandatory requisites established by paragraph 2 of Article 9 of the Law № 402-FZ:
name of the document;
the date of the document;
name of the organization on whose behalf the document drawn up;
the content of the economic operation;
gauges economic operation in physical and monetary terms;
the name of the persons responsible for fulfillment of economic operation and correctness of its registration;
personal signatures of these persons.
In this case, in addition to the already above-mentioned drawbacks in commercial checks were missing their date of drafting and signature of seller; not filled in the column "amount", "price"; instead of the names of specific products simply pointed out that the money issued for the execution of works or services (for example, "ad", "construction contract", "improvement area"). All this indicates the absence of primary documents confirming the purchase of inventory. With regard to the posting of goods on account of 10, that fact, in itself, does not indicate the expenditure of funds is accountable for production needs, said the court. Consequently, the disputed imprest rightly regarded as the inspection of personal income

On the reimbursement of expenses for rental housing nonresident workers
In the definition of the Supreme Court dated 26.02.2016 number 310-KG15-20212 noted that the payment of rental costs to nonresident employees paid by the employer on the basis of a local act, does not apply to incentive payments and is not dependent on the skills of workers. In this regard, the payments are not charged premiums.
The point is this. On the basis of a local act (order) the organization offset the cost of hiring housing workers who have moved from Tambov to St Petersburg. Employees paid a sum of money in a fixed amount - 20 thousand rubles a month.. According to employees of the FIU management to payment data needed to charge premiums. His position controllers argued as follows: workers' compensation costs for rental housing at the new place of residence due to labor relations, it is systematic and stimulating character. Contributions are exempt only those payments that are directly listed in Article 9 of the Federal Law of 24.07.2009 number 212-FZ. Controversial costs in this norm is not named. Consequently, the amount of compensation for rental housing should be subject to insurance premiums in accordance with Article 7 of the Law № 212-FZ.
The courts of all instances, including the Supreme Court, did not agree with the position of the Fund. Article 9 of the Law № 212-FZ, a list of payments that are not subject to taxation of insurance premiums. To those, in particular, all kinds of payments established by the legislation related, inter alia, with the move to work in another locality. By virtue of Article 165 of the Labour Code, employees are given guarantees and compensation when moving to work in another locality. Thus, the disputed compensation payments are staff costs of hiring premises when moving to another country in order to work, the obligation to reimburse which lies on the employer. These expenses are established local act of the organization and are of social nature. Despite the fact that the compensation made in connection with an employment relationship, such payments do not have signs of wages in the sense of Article 129 of the Labour Code, as is not a reward for work, do not apply to incentive payments, do not depend on the employee's qualifications. Consequently, workers compensation costs amount to the monthly rent are not subject to insurance contributions.

The Regulation of FAS Far Eastern District on 27.1.2016 number F03-6295 / 2015
The Regulation of FAS Far Eastern District on 27.1.2016 number F03-6295 / 2015 noted that if the time allotted for the collection of arrears of insurance contributions, has expired, the inspectors from the Pension Fund units do not have the right to charge interest on the arrears.
The point is this. The Organization had overdue arrears of insurance contributions for 2009 in the amount of 1185 rubles. Despite the fact that the debt collection period has expired, on that amount for the period from March 2012 to February 2015 inspectors from the RPF interest charges, which were recovered on an uncontested basis. The inspectors decided that since the organization of an outstanding balance, this is the basis for calculating fines.
The courts of three instances supported by the organization, pointing out the following. According to Parts 1 and 2 of Article 18 of the Federal Law of 24.07.2009 number 212-FZ, the payers of insurance premiums required to timely and fully pay insurance premiums. In the case of non-payment by the due date the obligation to pay them executed forcibly by taking possession of funds on the payer's account (Art. 19 of the Law № 212-FZ). The obligation to pay insurance premiums provided by default interest (Art. 25 of the Law № 212-FZ).
In this case, the Court found that the Fund did not take any measures to forcibly collect the arrears. At the date of the proceedings the possibility of recovery of the said debt has been lost. Therefore, the calculation and collection of penalties on overdue arrears improperly.

Resolution FAS Central District of 10/2/2016 number F10-47 / 2016
The Regulation of FAS Central District of 2.10.2016 number F10-47 / 2016 noted that even if the local organization of the act provides that when a one-day business trip an employee is paid per diem, those payments because of its orientation can be recognized as compensation of other costs associated with the service trip. But such amounts organization is entitled to take into account in tax income spending.
The point is this. The employer directed the employees to travel for one day, out of which they were able to return home every day. This order of the organization was envisaged that the workers assigned on a day trip, are paid "per diem" in the amount of 700 rubles per day.
In the IRS said that the allowance shall be paid at the one-day trips. This is stated in Article 11 of the Regulation on the direction of employees on business trips (approved by the RF Government Decree of 13.10.2008 number 749,. Hereinafter - Regulations). Thus, the cost of daily subsistence allowance at one-day trips should not be taken into account for tax purposes, even if the payment of the amount provided for a local act.
The court's decision
However, the court decided that the organization rightly took into account the disputed costs. Justification is. Article 24 of the Regulations stipulates that the posted worker may be reimbursed other expenses associated with the trip in the manner specified by the collective agreement or local normative act of the organization. Accordingly, the amount of reimbursement at a one-day business trip employee can be taken into account in the taxation of profit as other expenses related to production and sales (cop. 49 para. 1, Art. 264 of the Tax Code).
In this situation, despite the fact that the money in the local act are named as "per diem", in fact they are a compensation in the amount established by the other employee travel expenses. Thus, such amounts may be deductible.

Resolution of 19.1.2016 number 2-P
Переводчик
Russian Constitutional Court in a judgment of 1.19.2016 number 2-P has recognized that existing legal provisions on insurance premiums, do not allow the funds and the courts to mitigate the liability of the insured, do not comply with the Constitution.
Prior to January 1, 2015, paragraph 6 of Article 39 of the Federal Law of 24.07.09 number 212-FZ read: during the review inspection materials the head (deputy head) of the fund unit shall, in particular, to identify the circumstances mitigating or aggravating the responsibility for the offense. These circumstances were mentioned in the article 44 of the Law № 212-FZ.
The new wording of paragraph 6 of Article 39 of the Law № № 212-FZ, which entered into force on 1 January 2015, it stipulated that the monitoring body should reveal only the circumstances precluding guilt of the person in committing the offense (they are listed in Part 1 of Article 43Zakona number 212 FZ). And Article 44 of the Law № 212-FZ has lost power (cop. "And" p. 22 and p. 24, Art. 5 of the Federal Law of 28.06.14 № 188-FZ).
The Constitutional Court considered the appeal of arbitration courts of Moscow and the Penza region, which, when disputes have failed to reduce the fine. In one case, the insurer was fined for failure in the calculation of the period in the form of RSV-1. In its defense, the organization referred to a number of mitigating circumstances (a prolonged restructuring, demolition of the old building of the educational institution, in the absence of state accountant, prosecution for the offense for the first time, and so on.). In another case, the medical institution was held liable for late payments. Insured requested to reduce the fine because the offense is committed for the first time. In addition, fees charged by the audit, have been paid immediately. However, in both cases, the courts have failed to take into account mitigating circumstances due to the above-mentioned amendments to the legislation.
The Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation recognized that the amendments according to which the law on the insurance premiums are excluded provisions for mitigating circumstances, have led to a lack of opportunities to reduce the amount of the fine. This "does not allow to individualize the punishment, take into account the nature and degree of the offender guilty, other relevant circumstances, and thus leads to a violation of the rights of payers of insurance premiums provided by the constitutional principles of legal liability."
On this basis, the High Court declared the impugned provisions of the Law № 188-FZ to the Constitution. Federal legislator entrusted to make the legislation on insurance premiums "changes, allowing to individualize the punishment, take into account the nature and degree of guilt, and other relevant circumstances."
Also in the court order stated: As long as the changes are made to legislation on insurance premiums is used in keeping with the Constitutional Court.

Decree of 27/01/2016 number F06-4898 / 2015 AS Volga District
In the judgment of 27.1.2016 number F06-4898 / 2015 AS Volga region came to the conclusion that the amount of compensation on compulsory medical examinations costs that workers passed before employment, are not subject to insurance contributions, even if the compensation paid after the conclusion of employment contracts.
The point is this.
Before taking a job at the post-sales consultants applicants passed the preliminary examinations. After the physical persons with an employment contract, the employer paid him compensation for the cost of check-ups. The Pension Fund said that the profession of Sales is not included in the list of professions subject to compulsory medical examination, and is not associated with harmful and dangerous production factors. So, the employer is not obliged to reimburse the costs of medical examination. In addition, the cost of the medical examination of compensation paid after the reception of applicants for a job. That is, payments made in the framework of labor relations, and should be subject to fees on the basis of Article 7 of the Federal Law of 24.07.09 № 212-FZ (hereinafter - the Law № 212-FZ).
The court upheld the organization, pointing out the following. Article 213 of the Labour Code establishes the obligation of employers to carry out at its own expense the preliminary (at employment) and periodic (for work) medical examinations of workers engaged in work with harmful and (or) dangerous working conditions, as well as work related to the the movement of transport. If an employee is paid a medical examination at the expense of own funds, the employer shall pay compensation. In this case, the work of shop assistants was associated with traffic (traveling work on the car). Since the passage of medical examination in such a situation it is necessary under the law, the compensation cost of employee medical examination is not subject to insurance contributions on the basis of subparagraph "and" 2stati paragraph 9 of the Law № 212-FZ.
In addition, physical examination was carried out at a time when the employment relationship between the employer and by individuals lacking. The subsequent conclusion of labor contracts and compensation during the existence of an employment relationship have no legal significance, since the events with which the compensation occurred in the absence of labor relations.
In view of the above, the Court concludes that the compensation of the costs of compulsory preliminary medical examination is not subject to insurance contributions.

Russian Constitutional Court of 11.19.2015, № 2731-O
The Russian Ruling of the Constitutional Court of 11.19.2015, № 2731-O pointed out that para. 1, Art. 27 of the Tax Code, defining the concept of the legal representatives of the organization, the taxpayer, by itself does not regulate the number of persons who may be subject to one or other liability for breach of duty to pay taxes. Therefore, the use of a natural person prosecuted under Art. 199 of the Criminal Code (the subjects of the crime can be attributed head of the organization, the taxpayer, the chief accountant (accountant in the absence of the state chief accountant), who are responsible for the signing of the reporting documentation submitted to the tax authorities, to ensure the full and timely payment of taxes and fees ) liability in the form of compensation for the harm (p. 1, Art. 1068 of the Civil Code), does not violate the constitutional rights of the individual. By virtue of Art. 54 Code of Criminal Procedure as a civil defendant may be held natural or legal person who, in accordance with the Civil Code of the Russian Federation is responsible for the harm caused by the crime; about bringing the person or entity as a civil defendant the inquiry officer, the investigator or the judge makes a decision, and the court - a ruling. According to Art. 1068 of the Civil Code a legal entity or a citizen shall compensate the damage caused by its employee in the performance of labor (service, job) duties, and in respect to the rules provided by its head 59 of the Civil Code, "Obligations owing to injury", employees are recognized citizens performing work under an employment agreement (contract), citizens performing work under civil law contracts, provided that they acted or should have acted on the instructions of the respective legal person or citizen and under the control of safe operations.

AS Resolution of the North-West District in the judgment of 14.12.2015 number F07-2649 / 2015
The Regulation of FAS Northwest District in the judgment of 12.14.2015 number F07-2649 / 2015 noted that if an organization pays an individual fee for the guarantee on its credit agreement, then this fee it must pay the insurance premiums.
The point is this. The organization has concluded with the bank credit agreements. As the guarantor acted as natural persons, which is not an employee of the company. For services to the citizen co-signer was paid 450 thousand rubles. Inspectors from the RPF stated that the amount of remuneration needed to charge premiums. The base - natural persons were paid a fee for "services". Consequently, this amount is subject to taxation of insurance premiums on the basis of Article 7 of the Federal Law of 24.07.09 № 212-FZ (hereinafter - the Law № 212-FZ). Since the organization is not accrued premiums for surety fee, it was held liable on the basis of paragraph 1 of Article 47 of the Law № 212-FZ.
The courts have recognized the legitimate decision of the Fund. Referees were reminded that the object of taxation of insurance premiums and the basis for calculating contributions to the organizations making payments and other compensation to individuals are recognized, including payments under civil law contracts, the subject of which is the performance of work, rendering of services. This follows from the provisions of paragraph 1 of Article 7 and paragraph 1 of Article 8 of the Law № 212-FZ.
In this situation, the citizen has the organization a favor by taking on the obligation to respond to the bank for the performance of its obligations under the loan agreements.

AS Resolution of the Ural district from 11.27.2015 number A71-2097 / 2015
The Regulation of FAS Ural district from 11/27/2015 number A71-2097 / 2015 noted that if in the reference 2-PIT, presented to the bank for the loan, and in the help of the same persons, donated by the tax agent in the inspection, specify different salary it does not indicate that the employer submitted to the IRS false information about the employee's income. And accordingly, should not be whether it is possible on the basis of "banking" Help assessed additional premiums.
The point is this. Stating that the organization pays the wages "in envelopes", FIU inspectors assessed that her insurance premiums, and brought to justice in accordance with paragraph 1 of Article 46Federalnogo Law of 24.07.09 number 212-FZ. The conclusion that there is double counting salaries FIU officials made on the basis of information received from the tax authorities. As the inspection certificates in 2-PIT represented workers for the loan contains a higher salary than the references, put into office.
However, the courts of three instances of fines and charge additional fees canceled by entering the following. Firstly, the reclamation of the bank information on the income of natural persons is a violation of personal data protection legislation. Secondly, all the facts that prove the guilt of the insured in violation of the commission, shall be documented. Meanwhile, the amount of income referred to in the certificate on Form 2-PIT for the loan, it does not prove that the insured actually paid such income to the employee. It is possible that it was false information provided by the bank, not to the inspection. After all, the decision to grant a loan depends on the size of the borrower's income, so the insurer could inflate the amount of the employee's request.
Because the FIU management failed to provide objective evidence showing an artificially low wages, additional charging fees, penalties and fines is unfounded, the Court pointed out.

Determination of 02.01.2016 number 306-KG15-18624
Russia's Supreme Court in the determination of the number 306, 1.2.2016 KG15-18624 concluded that an employer who is either reimbursed employee expenses for the child in kindergarten or directly listed parent fee in preschool, is not obliged to charge for such payments insurance contributions.
The point is this. The organization partially reimburse employees for the maintenance costs of children in kindergarten. The collective agreement was confirmed that parents with three or more minor children, as well as single mothers be paid compensation in the following amounts: 80 percent of the amount of parental fee for the first child; 50 per cent - for the second child; 30 percent - for the third and subsequent children in the family. This compensation shall be transferred to employees based applications on their bank cards.
According to RPF officials, these amounts have to be included in the basis for calculating premiums. Justification - payment for the maintenance of employees' children in preschool are not covered by the concept of compensation established by the legislation of the Russian Federation and named in Article 9 of the Federal Law of 24.07.2009 number 212-FZ.
Courts of first instance and appeal courts have supported officials. However, the appeal court and the Supreme Court decided in favor of the organization. As indicated referees controversial compensation does not depend on the labor achievements of the employee and is not a reward for work, in connection with what is social payments. Given that social payments based on a collective agreement are not employees are paid, such amounts are not subject to taxation of insurance premiums.

Decision of 24.11.2015 number AKPI15-1111
Russia's Supreme Court in a decision of 11/24/2015 number AKPI15-1111 concluded that the inventory of property in the course of a tax audit at the Ministry of Finance and regulated by the order of the RF Ministry of 10.03.1999 number 20H / GB-3-04 / 39. According to this document, the taxpayer is obliged to provide labor inspectors for weighing and moving loads, weights, gauges and measuring container (Sec. 2.7 Provisions).
The point is this. The organization appealed to the Supreme Court a statement to recognize invalid the order to the Ministry of Finance and the Tax Ministry on 10.03.1999 number 20H / GB-3-04 / 39. According to the applicant, approved by order of the position leads to additional material costs to ensure the conditions for the inventory. Namely - on compensation of employees, weighing assets, the acquisition of measuring instruments and so on. Meanwhile, in the Tax Code does not set a taxpayer obligation to provide the tax authority or labor force with the necessary equipment to carry out the inventory. Since the order of the Ministry of Finance and the Federal Tax Service for the taxpayer introduces an additional duty, not prescribed by the Tax Code, the document was adopted in violation of the law, said the organization.
The Supreme Court of the applicant's position did not agree, stating the following. In subparagraph 13 of paragraph 1 of Article 89 of the Tax Code states that, if necessary, the inspectors carrying out site inspection can be carried out including an inventory of the property. Mandatory inventory of property enshrined in Article 11 of the Federal Law of 06.12.11 number 402-FZ "On Accounting", paragraph 21 of the Guidelines for accounting of inventories (approved. Ministry of Finance Order of 28.12.2001 number 119n). Thus, fixing in the contested provisions of the requirement that the taxpayer must create the conditions to ensure complete and accurate verification of the actual availability of property, the Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Taxation has not gone beyond the powers granted to, and do not set the requirements, not provided by the legislation on taxes and fees.
the taxpayer's argument that paragraph 2.7 of the Regulation leads to additional material costs, as it requires to acquire additional property, hire labor, the court also rejected. Justification is. Inventory legislator provided in organizations, regardless of their type of activity. Thus, the inventory of premises and areas used by the taxpayer for the extraction of income or related to the content of the objects of taxation, can not be carried out without the manpower to pereveshivaniya and moving loads, weights, measuring and control devices. Consequently, the tax authority's request for these funds is justified. The court noted that the taxpayer is obliged to provide the inspectors during the inventory is only one labor and the equipment which he has.
In view of the above, the Court decided that the order the Ministry of Finance and the Tax Ministry on 10.03.1999 number 20H / GB-3-04 / 39 does not conflict with federal law and does not violate the rights of taxpayers.

Resolution of the Federal Western Siberian region of 04.07.2014 № A27-15729/2013
FAS West Siberian District in its Resolution of 04.07.2014 № A27-15729 / 2013 came to the conclusion that if the penalty is paid to natural persons, actually compensates its loss, the additional income from physical persons does not arise. Accordingly, to keep personal income tax on the amount of the penalty is not necessary.
The essence of the case is as follows. For the purchase of non-residential premises individuals received credit funds in the bank at 8.5% per annum and have listed their organization seller. In the future, the seller had breached its obligations under the contract. In this regard, he had to return the advance payment and the buyers to pay a penalty of 8.5% paid on the loan.
Representatives of the Tax Inspectorate stated that the amount of compensation cost natural persons are not included in the list of compensation established by paragraph 3 of Article 217 of the Tax Code. Therefore, such payments are subject to personal income tax. Since this was not done, the tax brought the company to liability for breach of duty of a tax agent (Art. 123 of the Tax Code).
However, the Court of Arbitration with the position of the tax authorities did not agree. The arbitrators stated: you can not qualify for any amount of money received as income, excluding contained therein economic benefits. In this situation, due to the termination of the contract on the fault of the seller the buyers loss occurs as the amounts of interest paid by the bank for the loan. Thus, individuals receive a penalty actually compensated for loss and no additional income for them is not created. By itself, a loan could also create economic benefits for individuals, as they did not use the money, and immediately transferred to the seller as a deposit. In view of the Court concluded that because the disputed funds do not create for individuals any economic benefit, they do not fall under the concept of income referred to in Article 41 of the Tax Code, and are not subject to personal income tax.

Resolution of the Federal Central District of 11.07.2014, the №A09-9251 / 2013
FAS Central District in its Resolution of 11.07.2014, № A09-9251 / 2013
came to the conclusion that the tax code does not set the period of decreasing the amount of UTII on paid premiums. Therefore entrepreneurship "vmenenschik" right to reduce the amount of tax on the premiums paid during the same period in the next quarter.
The essence of the case is as follows. Individual entrepreneur of the Bryansk region (applicable UTII mode) in the preparation of the declaration UTII for the I quarter of 2013 reduced the amount of tax on the sum of the fixed payment for the same period. However, the tax inspectors stated that the tax reduced invalid, since the premiums were actually listed in the second quarter (payment was listed on 24 April and the tax paid by April 25). As a result, the taxpayer was fined on the basis of paragraph 1 of Article 122 of the Tax Code for failure to pay the single tax.
Individual entrepreneur went to court and won in three instances. Judge reasoned as follows. Paragraph 2.1 of Article 346.32 of the Tax Code does not indicate that the individual entrepreneur who does not have employees, reduces the amount of a single tax paid in this particular tax period premiums in a fixed size. And in accordance with paragraph 7 of Article 3 of the Tax Code, all of doubt, contradictions and ambiguities in the legislation on taxes and duties shall be interpreted in favor of the taxpayer.
Since the Tax Code does not establish a period of decreasing the amount of contributions paid by UTII "for himself," An individual entrepreneur legitimate when calculating the tax for the I quarter allowed for a fixed payment listed in the II quarter.

Resolution of the Federal Western Siberian region of 06.08.2014, the №A46-12467/2013
FAS West Siberian District in its Resolution of 06.08.2014, № A46-12467 / 2013 issued an opinion that the presence of the person responsible for checking the counterparty due diligence not prove anything.
The essence of the case is as follows. Tax Inspectorate fined the company pursuant to paragraph 1 of Article 122 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation for the partial payment of VAT and assessed additional expense of 6.5 million. Rubles VAT. The basis for this decision was the conclusion of officials of unjustified tax benefit of the organization. This was evidenced by the following facts. Firstly, contractors deny signing invoices. Secondly, part of the construction contract and the invoices were signed prior to the registration and tax registration organizations counterparties.
The company appealed to the court, stating in his defense following. When formal compliance invoices requirements of Article 169 of the Tax Code signing them by unidentified persons in itself can not serve as absolute proof of fictitious transactions and their focus on illegal minimize the tax burden. In addition, the taxpayer submitted an order for the organization to appoint the person responsible for the verification of credentials of contractors. In the organization believed that this document proves due diligence when entering into contracts with counterparties controversial.
The trial court upheld the taxpayer. However, appeal and cassation decision of the lower court was canceled. Judges are reminded that the basis for the deduction of VAT is the totality of the circumstances: the purchase of goods (works, services) for use in transactions subject to VAT, the reflection of them in the accounting process, the buyer and the presence of a properly issued invoice.
Of the provisions of paragraph 2 of Article 169 of the Tax Code should explicitly prohibit the adoption of deductible VAT on invoices made out with the offense. Since the disputed invoices contained false information, they can not be the basis for the amount of tax deductible.
The court also noted that in itself is an order of determining the person responsible for the verification of credentials of contractors does not show due diligence when selecting contractors. Instructing employees engaged in subcontract work at the facilities, does not confirm the relationship between these workers with questionable contractors. Based on the above arguments, the court found the refusal to deduct VAT and additional taxation lawful.

В Постановлении ФАС Московского округа от 03.04.2014 г. (дело № А40-17207/13) отмечено, что анализ во взаимосвязи положений НК РФ и ГК РФ позволяет сделать вывод, что с момента ликвидации кредитора у налогоплательщика прекращается обязательство по оплате, в связи с чем факт ликвидации относится к иным основаниям, по которым спорная сумма кредиторской задолженности подлежит включению в состав внереализационных доходов того налогового периода, когда кредитор был исключен из ЕГРЮЛ.

Resolution of the Federal District of Russia from the Urals city of №F09-2974 06.17.2014/14
FAS Ural District of the Russian Federation in its Resolution of 06.17.2014, № F09-2974 / 14 came to the conclusion that the additional cost to the lump-sum allowance for childbirth and the monthly allowance for child care provided by the collective bargaining agreement, in the basis for calculation of insurance premiums not included.
The essence of the case is as follows.
On the basis of the collective agreement the company at his own expense paid women workers an additional lump sum for the birth of a child (at a rate of 2 times the minimum wage), as well as a monthly allowance for child care up to one and a half to three years ($ 1 minimum wages). Representatives of the Russian Federation Pension Fund decided that the payments are made within the framework of labor relations, and therefore subject to insurance contributions on the basis of Article 7 of the Federal Law of 24.07.09 № 212-FZ.
However, the court with the position of the representatives of the Russian Federation Pension Fund did not agree. Explanation is that the mere fact of existence of an employment relationship between the employer and its employees are not a sign that all payments that accrue to employees are paid for their work. In contrast to the employment contract, which, in accordance with Articles 15 and 16 of the LC RF regulates precisely labor relations, collective agreement in accordance with Article 40 of the LC RF regulates social and labor relations. Welfare payments, based on the collective agreement that are not challenging, independent of workers' skills, complexity, quality, quantity, conditions for carrying out the work itself, not the compensation of employees (remuneration for work), including because it does not provide labor contracts. Consequently, since the additional cost to the benefits provided under the collective bargaining agreement, are not wages, the grounds for assessment of these payments is not, the court ruled.

Determination of the Russian Federation of 09.07.2014, the VAS-8467/14
The Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation of 09.07.2014 № VAS-8467/14 to refuse to transfer the case to the Bureau concluded that the labor or collective bargaining agreement can be assigned any per diem employees whose work is carried out in a way or a traveling nature. This compensation is not subject to insurance contributions in full, even if the payments are made in a fixed amount of expenditure without supporting documents.
The essence of the case is as follows.
Guided by the norms paragraphs. "and" n. 2 tbsp. 9 of the Federal Law of 24.07.09 № 212-FZ, that compensation payments related to the performance of the employees job duties are not subject to insurance premiums, transport company on the basis of an employment contract, as well as local act to pay their drivers compensation (DSA) in 1000 rubles. for each day spent outside their places of permanent residence. On the amount of compensation premiums not paid.
FSS representatives decided that since payments were made in a fixed amount, then they are allowances for traveling nature of work, that is part of the salary. Therefore, should be subject to insurance premiums.
However, the courts of all levels, including the board of the SAC, the position of the representatives of the FSS. The Court recalled that the basis for calculating insurance premiums are payments accrued to the employee in connection with the performance of his employment duties. In this case, there are two types of compensation: - related to specific conditions and are part of the salary (Article. 129 TC RF); - Established for the purpose of workers compensation costs associated with the performance of their employment or other legal obligations (Art. 164 TC RF).
Compensation payment as a kind of remuneration (Article. 129 TC RF) usually earned of the salary or wage rate and depend on the specific employment outcome. And in this case, a fixed amount of compensation set by the need to compensate for the additional costs associated with living Parlour is the place of permanent residence (DSA). These payments are made regardless of the outcome of labor and depended only on one thing - the number of actually performed in the way of day.
Unlike business trips, to confirm the finding of delivery drivers on the road do not require preparation of travel documents. In this case, the fact of being an employee in traveling confirm reports on business trips, waybills, bills of lading. These documents contain information about the driver, route, duration of the trip and, therefore, allow you to set the amount of compensation depending on the number of days (days) that took place outside the residence.
In view of the above, the Court held that the disputed payments were treated to compensation under articles 164, 168.1 LC RF. But such compensation insurance premiums are exempt under sub-clause. "And" n. 2 tbsp. 9 of the Law № 212-FZ.
SAC refused to transfer the case to the Presidency of the Court.

Determination of the Russian Federation of 07.29.2014, the №VAS-9218/14
The Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation in the ruling dated 07.29.2014 № VAS-9218/14 came to the conclusion that social payments based on a collective agreement or a local act, are not challenging and not dependent on the skills of workers are not subject to insurance contributions . Therefore, if the employee compensation (his family) on the value of a voucher for spa treatment is paid regardless of the outcome of labor, not of a stimulating character, the premiums on the amount of compensation is not calculated. The same rule applies to the payment of medical services for employees and visiting staff pool.
The essence of the case is as follows. On the basis of local act (Regulations on social security payments), the company reimburse all employees and their families the cost of the pool passes for the spa treatment as well as medical services. According to inspectors from the regional management FIU, these payments are made within the framework of labor relations, and therefore subject to contributions under Article 7 of the Federal Law of 24.07.09 № 212-FZ.
However, the courts of all instances supported by the company. Judge reminded the representatives of the RPF, that the object of calculating insurance contributions for mandatory pension insurance and compulsory health insurance are payments made to an employee for a specific employment outcome. The mere fact of existence of an employment relationship between the company and the employees does not mean that all payments that accrue to individuals, are labor costs.
In this situation, payment vouchers, health services, swimming pool was designed to protect and restore the health of employees and their family members (item 1.2 of the Regulations). A payment that are social in nature, are not challenging and do not depend on the qualifications of employees and complexity of the work itself, pay for work are not. Especially because not covered by labor contracts. Thus, the disputed payments to the base for calculation of insurance premiums are not included.
SAC refused to transfer the case to the Presidency of the Court.

Resolution of the Federal District of the Moscow 02.07.2014, № A40-65246/13
The Regulation of FAS Moscow District on 07.02.2014, the number A40-65246 / 13 concluded that the company should not have to pay VAT on the amount of expenditure on food, so that employees are provided under the collective agreement.
The essence of the case is as follows. Organization on the basis of a collective agreement provides employees with a free lunch. As the cost of food has not been included in the costs when calculating the tax base for income tax, tax inspectors have decided that these costs will have been included in the VAT base. As stated by the tax authorities, lunches transferred to the ownership of employees on a pro bono basis, and such transfer, pursuant to subparagraph 1 of paragraph 1 of Article 146 of the Tax Code, equal to the sale of goods, and therefore subject to VAT. The taxable base for VAT is absent only in the event that the related costs actually taken by the taxpayer in the calculation of income tax.
Courts of three instances supported taxpayer. The main argument - relationships for the provision of free meals to employees due to the collective agreement and relate to labor and not civil law relations.
At the same time, in the opinion of the judges, it does not matter that these costs are not deductible for income tax. Justification is. Obligation to calculate VAT on the transfer of goods (works, services) for their own needs directly related to the inability to take into account the costs of these operations in the calculation of income tax. However, in this case, the company could write off the cost of meals in the cost of labor, but did not. Failure to use the law to include the disputed costs are expensed or incorrectly reflected in the accounting and tax purposes can not cause the object to VAT.
The Court's conclusion was as follows. Since the power is organized to implement the company's operations in accordance with the requirements of the collective agreement, the tax authorities had no grounds for charging VAT on the cost of food workers.

Determination of the Russian Federation of 10.07.2014 № VAS-8732/14
The Supreme Arbitration Court in its decision of 10.07.2014 № VAS-8732/14 came to the conclusion that employers who offer their employees free lunches, are not required to include these funds in the basis for calculation of insurance premiums. The same goes for parents to pay compensation for child worker in a kindergarten.
The essence of the case is as follows. Organization on the basis of a collective agreement was paying child support its employees in kindergarten. Money for the garden remitted directly to educational institutions. Representatives of management FIU stated that the disputed amount needed to be included in the base for the calculation of premiums. Justification is. The list of non-taxable benefits listed in Article 9 of the Law № 212-FZ. At this rate, in particular, it is determined that the imposition of the insurance premiums are exempt certain compensatory payments stipulated by the legislation in favor of workers (n. 2 hours. 1 tbsp. 9 of the Law № 212-FZ). A payment of child support workers in preschool do not fall under the concept of compensation established by the legislation of the Russian Federation and named in Article 9 of the Law № 212-FZ.
In addition, representatives of the RPF assessed that contributions to the cost of a free lunch for employees. According to representatives of the RPF, despite the fact that the employer's obligation to compensate for the cost of food has not been established in any employment or collective agreement, free lunches, in fact, are the reward as part of employment relationships. Therefore, the cost of food had to be included in the basis for calculation of insurance premiums.
The courts of first and second instance agreed with the representatives of FIU: disputed payments are in fact elements of remuneration, and, accordingly, are subject to fees. However, the appeal court, and then board the SAC decided in favor of the company. Judge explained: the mere fact of existence of an employment relationship does not indicate that all payments accrued to the employee, are paying his labor. Compensation cost of meals and fees for kindergarten are social in nature, does not depend on the skills of workers, complexity, quality performance, not an element of remuneration, including because it does not provide employment contracts. Thus, the cost of maintaining employees' children in kindergarten, as well as the cost of a free lunch, the premiums do not need to charge.
In the transfer of the case to the Presidium of the Russian Federation has been denied.

Resolution of the Federal Volga-Vyatka district from 17.06.2014 № A17-162/2013
FAS Volga-Vyatka region in the Decree of 17.06.2014 № A17-162 / 2013 noted that the Russian Tax Code does not envisage any special time to prepare the taxpayer objections to the results of the additional tax control measures. However, when establishing such term inspections should take into account the volume of collected materials to the taxpayer was able to review the documents and prepare objections. Otherwise, the decision on additional be held invalid.
The essence of the case is as follows. To confirm the fact of violations of tax inspectors have carried out additional tax control measures. November 6 the taxpayer was aware of the documents on 285 sheets, and two days later took consideration of audit materials, taking into account the documents received in the course of additional activities.
Individual entrepreneur introduced additions to the objections to the act of on-site inspection. In them, he pointed out that the said consideration of materials testing and additional measures premature as to examine and analyze this volume of documents, as well as for the preparation of reasoned objections to it requires a longer time. Despite this, the supervisors passed a resolution on bringing to justice the individual entrepreneur and additional taxes. The total amount of additional tax assessments and penalties amounted to more than 14 million. Rubles.
According to the taxpayer, the inspection procedure violated the prosecution, as from the date of delivery of the help he was given a short time to give explanations and objections. In response, representatives of the inspection said that given enough time to familiarize themselves with these documents, because they do not install the new circumstances, and only confirms previous findings reported in the tax audit.
However, the courts of three instances supported by individual entrepreneurs. Justification is. Violation of the material terms of procedures for handling test materials is the basis for the annulment of the prosecution (paragraph 14 article 101 of the Tax Code). These essential conditions are to ensure the possibility of the person in respect of which audited, to participate in the process of reviewing the audit materials and an explanation. Judges highlighted: participation of the taxpayer in consideration of materials should be ensured at all stages of tax control. In this case, individual entrepreneur was not provided an opportunity to present objections to the tax offense, identified with the evidence obtained as a result of additional activities. And this is a material breach of the procedures for handling materials. On this basis, the decision on additional and penalty was abolished.

Resolution of the Federal District Urals from 19.06.2014 № F09-3772/14
FAS Ural District in its Resolution of 19.06.2014 № F09-3772 / 14 came to the conclusion that the compensation for the delay in wages, which is the financial responsibility of the employer and paid in connection with employee job duties, insurance premiums are not taxed.
The essence of the case is as follows. Workers were paid cash compensation for the delay in salary.
Representatives of the local branch of the RPF stated that the amount of compensation should be assessed premiums. Rationale - the interest paid by the employer in accordance with Article 236 of the LC RF for salary delay, belong to the species of compensation established by Article 129 of the LC RF, ie are elements of remuneration, and therefore subject to insurance premiums.
However, the Court upheld the company pointing to the next. Incentive and compensation payments are elements of remuneration in the event that possess features of wages: paid for the performance of the employee work performance, their size depends on the complexity, quantity and quality of work, are guaranteed in nature and are made automatically. With regard to compensation for the delay in salary, then it is a liability of the employer to the employee, provides additional protection for workers' rights. In other words, this payment can not be regarded as compensation to employees in connection with their official duties. Consequently, the disputed amount of compensation premiums will be awarded, the court decided.

The most significant aspects of the document are as follows:
In determining the tax consequences of the disposal (write-off) of the property as a result of the events beyond the control of the taxpayer (loss of property due to damage, fight, theft, natural disaster, or similar events) should be borne in mind that the basis of the content p. 1 tbsp. 146 of the Tax Code is not a disposal operation to be considered when forming the object of taxation. If at trial established that disposal of property, but not confirmed, that the disposal has taken place as a result of the events beyond the control of the taxpayer, the courts should proceed from the presence of his duties calculate tax under the rules set n. 2 tbsp. 154 of the Tax Code for the sale of the property free of the cases (n. 10).
Failure by the taxpayer in carrying out economic activities of certain requirements established by both public law and civil law (for example, failure to obtain, where necessary licenses, permits or other approvals, failure to registration of the contract, etc.) implies adverse tax consequences for him (eg, inability to use tax exemption for certain operations, use the tax deductions, tax claim for reimbursement from the budget, etc..) only if it is expressly provided the provisions of Part Two of the Tax Code, in particular Art. 149 of the Tax Code (p. 11).

In the case of transfer of goods (works, services) for promotional purposes, such operations are subject to taxation on the basis of paragraphs. 25 P. 3 tbsp. 149 of the Tax Code, if the cost of the acquisition (the creation of) units of goods (works, services) exceed $ 100. At the same time can not be regarded as an operation that forms an independent object of taxation, distribution of promotional materials, which is part of the taxpayer to promote the market produced and (or) sold them goods (works, services) in order to increase sales, if these promotional materials do not meet the characteristics of the goods, that is, the property intended to be sold in its own quality (p. 12).
Assignment of buyer demand for the return of monies paid to the seller in the forthcoming transfer of goods (works, services), for example because of the termination of the contract or annulment can not be taxed, because the operation is to return the seller received as an advance payment funds are not subject to taxation. At the same time, with the subsequent assignment of the monetary claim by the assignee, is not a party to the contract sale of goods (works, services), such transaction shall be subject to taxation under the rules set n. 2 tbsp. 155 of the Tax Code (p. 13).
By part. 6 tablespoons. 88 of the Tax Code during the desk audit taxpayers to request the tax authorities are required to submit documents confirming the right to tax deductions for their use. In the application of this provision the courts should take into account the definition of "tax relief" given in Sec. 1 tbsp. 56 of the Tax Code, according to which of the tax benefits granted to individual categories of taxpayers advantages over other taxpayers. In connection with this action item. 6 tablespoons. 88 of the Tax Code applies to those listed in Art. 149 of the Tax Code grounds for exemption from taxation, which by their nature are responsible notion of a tax benefit. Therefore, with reference to the provisions of §. 6 tablespoons. 88 of the Tax Code of the taxpayers are not obliged to records on transactions which are not subject to taxation (n. 2 of Art. 146 of the Tax Code), or exempt from taxation on the basis of Art. 149 of the Tax Code, when such an exemption is not intended to provide specific categories of persons advantages compared to other perpetrators of the same operation, but a special tax rules related transactions (p. 14).
A taxpayer must determine the tax basis according to the rules of Art. 167 of the Tax Code in the case when the next sale of goods (works, services) with the participation of an attorney (commission agent, agent), providing for these purposes the timely receipt of attorney (commission agent, agent) documented evidence of the transactions for the shipment (transfer) of goods (works, services) and payment (ie quarterly) (p. 16).
If the contract is no direct reference to the fact that it set the price does not include the amount of tax and otherwise follows from the circumstances preceding the conclusion of the contract, or other terms of the contract, the courts should proceed from the fact that the demands on the amount of the buyer by the seller released the last of the tax specified in the contract price, which is calculated by the method by assertion. 4 tbsp. 164 of the Tax Code (p. 17).
For the purposes of the provisions of paragraphs. 2.1 p. 1 tbsp. 164 of the Tax Code it applies to freight ekspeditsionnyeuslugi rendered in respect of goods which are the subject of international transportation, regardless of whether an organizer for the International Carriage itself forwarder or zakazchiktransportno forwarding services, or another person (ie, the tax rate 0 percent is used as carriers, providing services to the international carriage of goods at various stages of transportation) (p. 18).

Resolution of the Federal North Caucasus region of 30.04.14 № A32-6489/2013
FAS North Caucasus region in its Resolution of 30.04.14 № A32-6489 / 2013 came to the conclusion that if the company had applied for change of address, but the appropriate changes are not registered in the register, the inspectors in the old place of registration of the right to make the on-site verification.
The essence of the case is as follows. The organization filed a petition to amend the Incorporation in connection with a change of location. The day before making changes to the register, designated inspection site inspection. The reason for the revision was not only moving company, but the suspicion is that the taxpayer was not engaged in financial and economic activity, but wrongly claimed VAT deduction. The company went to court, claiming that the check is assigned to a non-authorized tax authority. The Organization stated that, in assessing the legality of the decision to conduct the examination must consider not only the date of appointment of the audit, but also the date of creating an account on the audit in a computer program. And in this case, such a record is created after the entity has been put on record in another inspection.
However, the courts have upheld the tax office, pointing to the next. The decision to conduct a field tax audit makes the tax authority at the location of the organization or at the place of residence of an individual (n. 2 of Art. 89 of the Tax Code). The date of removal from the register and registration with the new inspection is a corresponding entry in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities (Entities) or the Uniform State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs (EGRIP). In this case, at the time a decision to conduct on-site inspection organization was still at the same address as the changes made in the Unified were not. Consequently, the decision to conduct on-site inspection is legitimate.
The argument of the fact that the date of the decision of the tax authority should be the date of its creation in the electronic document management system, was also rejected. The Court explained that the start date of a spot-check is the date of adoption by the tax authority of the solution, not the time of its registration in the electronic document management system.

Determination of the Russian Federation of 26.05.2014, the №VAS-5881/14
SAC in a ruling dated 26.05.2014 № VAS-5881/14 (refusal to refer the case to the Presidium of the court) concluded that in areas where there is a regional coefficient, you must first need to determine the average daily wage on the basis of actual earnings, and then determine the average daily wage on the basis of the minimum wage, and the resulting value of the coefficient multiplied by the district. If calculated from the minimum wage and multiplied by a factor of the average daily wage is more than "actual", the benefit is calculated based on the minimum wage, taking into account the coefficient.
The Court pointed out that the district is the coefficient compensation payments for work in special climatic conditions. Therefore, it should be applied on the first stage of the calculation of benefits - in the calculation of the average daily wage (as of the actual time worked, and of the minimum wage), but not when it is calculated allowance.
Accordingly, in areas where there is a regional coefficient, it is necessary to apply the following algorithm for calculating benefits. First you have to determine the average daily wage on the basis of actual earnings. You then need to determine the average daily wage on the basis of the minimum wage, and the resulting value of the coefficient multiplied by the district. If calculated from the minimum wage (at a rate), the average daily wage is more than "actual", the benefit is calculated based on the minimum wage, taking into account the coefficient.

Resolution of the Federal District Urals from 25.04.2014 № F09-2274/14
FAS Ural District in its decision of 25.04.2014 № F09-2274 / 14 came to the conclusion that the failure of the FSS in the decision to offset the cost of benefits for temporary disability is not grounds for additional charges on these insurance premiums.
The lawsuit was the following situation. Due to errors in the certificate of incapacity representatives of the Perm regional branch of the Social Insurance Fund refused to offset the cost of benefits. The Company is obliged to pay the arrears in the amount of missed offset amounts of benefits. In this case, the amount of such arrears auditors accrued premiums.
However, the courts of three instances pointed out by the FSS on the illegality of the decision. For, in fact, the premiums were charged on insurance premiums (arrears). Arbitrators are reminded that insurance premiums are subject to the payment of accrued under the employment relationship (Article. 7 of the Federal Law of 24.07.09 № 212-FZ). Amounts missed to offset spending on benefits are not automatically benefit to employees as part of employment relationships. Failure of the Fund's decision to offset the costs does not change the social orientation of the uncommitted amounts. Errors in sick leave actually involve only the refusal to accept the costs are offset rather than refusal to pay temporary disability benefits, and do not indicate underestimation of the base for calculation of insurance premiums. Therefore, even if the fund does not take social insurance to offset the amount of benefits paid to employees, these amounts donachislyat premiums do not need, the Court concluded.

Resolution of the Federal District Urals from 29.04.2014 № F09-1691/14
FAS Ural District in its Resolution of 29.04.2014 № F09-1691 / 14 came to the conclusion that the failure to deduct VAT on the sole ground that the invoice is a misprint in the VAT, is wrongful.
The essence of the case is as follows. The organization submitted to the inspection of the VAT return, saying the deduction of 90 thousand. Rubles VAT. However, tax deductions and assessed that removed the tax due to the fact that the invoice was a mistake in the TIN. It was a doubling of the numbers in the inn, that is, the identification number was not 10, but from 11-digits. Tax inspectors decided that the VAT does not identify the specific taxpayer that is a violation of paragraph 5 of Article 169 of the Tax Code. Therefore, under such invoice VAT not deductible.
The company went to court and won the case in three instances. Argument to the Court was that, in paragraph 2 of Article 169 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation said: errors in invoices that do not affect the identification of the seller and buyer of goods (works, services, property rights), shall not constitute grounds for refusal to deduct VAT. In this situation, an incorrect designation VAT invoice is a mistake that will not cause difficulties in the identification of the seller. On this basis, the courts have recognized the company for the right to deduct VAT.

Determination of the Russian Federation of 24.03.2014 № BAC 2849/14
Supreme Arbitration Court in its decision of 24.03.2014 № BAC 2849/14 was of the opinion that the tax overpayment at the application deadline for its return may be considered bad debt and, therefore, taken into account in the determination of cost base for income tax .
The essence of the case is as follows. At the time when the company became aware of the overpayment of property tax, three-year term on its return from the budget had long been ignored. The organization considered such overpayment bad debt and recorded in costs, reduce income tax.
Basing his opinion that the costs in the form of bad debts (debts irrecoverable), which ended the limitation period is recorded as non-operating expenses (cop. 2 p. 2 tbsp. 265, p. 2 of Art. 266 of the Tax Code ).
However, tax inspectors have removed these costs and assessed that the income tax. These actions meet the position the Russian Finance Ministry, who spoke out against the write-off for tax purposes of overpayment of taxes as a bad debt. Several years ago, the Ministry of Finance experts reported that the application for credit or the refund of overpaid tax can be filed within three years from the date of payment of the said sum (p. 7, Art. 78 of the Tax Code). If the company did not do so, the amount of the overpayment is not receivable and bad debt is not recognized in accordance with paragraph 2 of Article 266 of the Tax Code. In other words, the company is to blame that outstay tax refund. In addition, pursuant to paragraph 4 of Article 270 of the Tax Code as the sum of consumption tax are not taken into account in determining the tax base for income tax (Letter dated 08.08.2011 № 03-03-06 / 1/457).
However, the SAC ruled in favor of the company, referring to the definition of the Constitutional Court of 08.02.2007 № 381-OP. In paragraph 2 of the definition states that the amount of overpaid tax is subject to all the constitutional guarantees of property rights, in view of the fact that in this case the tax is paid to the budget without legal obligation and the basis (ie, the overpayment is inherently not a tax, so the point 4 of Article 270 of the Tax Code, which prohibits expensed amount of taxes paid on the overpayment does not apply).
Thus, the amount of the overpayment of tax that is not refunded by the tax authority in connection with the omission of the organization of three years to apply, can be accounted for in the cost for tax purposes as a bad debt, concluded UPU RF, and refused to transfer the case to the Presidium this Court.

Resolution of the Federal Northwest District from 15.05.2014, № A44-3041/2013
FAS Northwestern District in its Resolution of 15.05.2014, № A44-3041 / 2013 came to the conclusion that the gifts to employees on the occasion referred to the collective (labor) contract or a local act, are a form of payment, and therefore included a base for calculation of insurance premiums.
The essence of the case is as follows. Congratulations for workers Fatherland Defender's Day, March 8, and the World Donor Day, the company bought the certificates to a local fitness club for 500, 540, 720, 800 and 900 rubles (the total value of the gifts amounted to 9.7 million. Rubles). According to the employer, gifts did not relate to wages, so a given amount of insurance premiums do not need to charge.
However, in such a position FSS considered erroneous. Auditors FSS said that since the payment in the form of a valuable gift made by the employer with whom the employee is associated labor relations, they are regarded as carried out in the framework of an employment relationship. Gifts to the holiday dates given to employees on the basis of orders of the head of settlement and payroll, with the donation contract in writing were not decorated. Accordingly, the value of the gifts is considered as an element of remuneration and subject to insurance premiums. Since this was not done, the inspectors have fined the company pursuant to paragraph 1 of Article 47 of the Federal Law of 24.07.09 № 212-FZ, in the amount of 284 thousand. Rubles.
The Court recognized the legitimate penalty, stating the following. Article 135 of the Labor Code provides that an employee's salary is set employment contract in accordance with a given employer wage system. The system of remuneration, including bonuses and allowances of incentive-based bonus system and are established by collective bargaining agreements, contracts, local regulations.
In this situation, rewarding employees with valuable gifts made in the order approving the regulations on promotions, which is an integral part of the collective agreement. This local act clearly states: the main criteria for promotion are the efficiency and professionalism of the employee in matters within its competence, in the preparation of documents, execution of orders of the head; timely, good faith, high-quality execution of duties. Moreover, based on the content of employment contracts, incentive payments established by the collective bargaining agreement, are part of the wages.
All this, according to the Court indicates that the disputed payments in the form of gifts made within the framework of labor contracts and labor relations are elements of remuneration. And since they are not named in the list of tax-free payments (Article 9 of the Law № 212-FZ), they shall be subject to insurance premiums.

Resolution of the Federal District of the Moscow 04.21.14 №A41-34916/13
Federal District of Moscow in its Resolution of 21.04.14 № A41-34916 / 13 came to the conclusion that, even if the company does not make payments to individuals, it is required to submit to the FIU payment of accrued and paid insurance premiums. For failure to zero reporting relies fine of 1,000 rubles.
The essence of the case is as follows.
Under current law, for failure to provide the calculation of premiums is a penalty of 5 percent of the amount of insurance premiums, accrued expense for the last three months of the reporting (settlement) period, but not more than 30 percent of this amount and not less than 1 000. This is stated in paragraph 1 of Article 46Federalnogo Act of 24.07.09 № 212-FZ. Guided by this norm, the auditors FIU fined 1,000 rubles for failure to timely "zero" report. Organization with the decision of the Fund did not agree and went to court. In its defense, the insurer said that the business is no longer and has no employees. And since the payment of compensations to individuals is not made, then the amount of the fine for failure to report a zero must be zero.
The Court considered this position Insurer wrong. Justifying it in a way that a business created for entrepreneurial activity for profit, and under normal conditions of economic exchange uses the labor of employees on the basis of employment contracts and contracts of civil nature. Payments to individuals are subject to taxation of insurance premiums. Control over the correctness of calculation and timely payment of insurance premiums for the purpose of ensuring the rights of insured persons on the basis of calculations of contributions. Thus, organizations are payers of insurance premiums due to the presence status of a legal person, regardless of whether they actually make payments to individuals or not. In view of the foregoing, the Court concludes that because the company did not provide the form of RSV-1 within the prescribed period, the supervisors legally imposed minimum fine of 1,000 rubles.

Resolution of the Federal Central District of 25.04.2014, the №A62-2115 / 2013
FAS Central District in its Resolution of 25.04.2014, the №A62-2115 / 2013 came to the conclusion that even if the newly registered company has no employees, it must report to the Federal Tax Service of the average number of employees.
The essence of the case is as follows. Tax inspectors for the city of Smolensk fined the company on the basis of Article 126 of the Tax Code for failure to provide information about the average number of employees for the preceding calendar year. According to auditors, a company incorporated in August 2012, was to present a report on the average number until September 20. The organization refused to pay the fine and go to court. As explained by the plaintiff, in the state of a newly created company had no employees. And if so, then submit to the tax authority information on the average number of employees was not required.
However, the courts of all levels have recognized this approach wrong. The Court recalled that, in the case of a (reorganization) of the report on the average number required to pass the tax office no later than the 20th of the month following the month in which the organization was established (p. 3 tbsp. 80 of the Tax Code). The Tax Code does not relieve the organization who have no employees, from the obligation to submit the specified information. In addition, the average number of employees assigned to the parameters that affect the procedure for the calculation of taxes and the use of different tax regimes. Thus, a newly created organization is obliged to provide information on the average number in a timely manner, regardless of whether they have a full-time employees or not.

FAS Volga District in its Resolution of 20.03.2014, № A55-12200 / 2013. Concluded that the designation of an incorrect TIN in the hotel bill is not grounds for additional taxation of income.
The Court considered the following argument. Employees under report were issued for cash payment of hotel services during the period of official missions. During the test, the tax found that checks hotels and parking lots, paid staff on mission, a nonexistent INN. Tax inspectors said that because the documents contain false information, the disputed costs to take into account the costs can not be. As a result, the company was assessed additional income tax expense in the amount of 200 thousand rubles.
However, the court with your tax inspectors did not agree. The judges noted that the expenditure verification personnel expense report submitted with the application of payments. They contain all the necessary details, including the signature and seal, in which contacts were mentioned hotels and car parks. Inspection argument that the organization, which were home to workers who are not registered in the register, the court rejected. The reason - the duty of the company to check the fact of registration of the Tax Code of accommodations are not available (decision of the Arbitration Court of Samara Region of 13.09.13 № A55-12200 / 2013). As a result, the courts of all instances have come to the conclusion that the company reasonably take into account travel expenses, including the costs and services of the hotel and car park.

The Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation in the ruling dated 19.03.2014 № VAS-2662/14 came to the conclusion that if the company can prove that workers use the services of a taxi in order to perform job duties, then the fare paid by the employer premiums are not charged .

Taxi service paid to the carrier by the end of the month in non-cash form. The inspectors from the Pension Fund believed that business need to travel by taxi was not. And if so, then the payment by the employer of trips is a personal benefit employee received in kind. Accordingly, the cost of taxi services in accordance with paragraph 6 of Article 8 of the Federal Law of 24.07.09 № 212-FZ to be included in the basis for calculation of insurance premiums.

Since this was not done, the insurer was held liable on the basis of paragraph 1 of Article 47 of the Law № 212-FZ. Additional charges, fines and penalties amounted to more than 2.3 million. Rubles.
The courts of the first three instances supported representatives of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation. The courts have noted that before an employer really had to pay for transportation workers from their home to the point of collection. Such a duty has been provided by paragraph 2.5 of the Basic provisions on rotational basis Works (approved. Secretariat of Trade Unions and the Ministry of Health of the USSR from 31.12.1987, № 794 / 33-82). However, this rule has been invalidated by the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation of 17.12.1999 № GKPI99-924. In this regard, the courts have concluded that the fare "shift workers" can be attributed to the number of tax-exempt contributions to compensation only if the act of organizing a local collection point set and from the organized workers is delivered to the place of business of the company. That is, in this case from the premiums available fare from the office (gathering place) to the camps. With regard to the reimbursement of the cost of travel from the place of residence of workers to the location of the office of the employer, such amounts are subject to insurance premiums.
The lack of uniformity of arbitration practice on this issue was the reason for the referral of the case to the Presidium of the Russian Federation (the definition of the Russian Federation of 04.03.14 № BAC 16954/13). In this case, the SAC Board noted that the lower courts, in particular, do not take into account the following facts.
First. In the Supreme Court, which invalidated the item in terms of the mandatory payment of travel from their home to the point of collection, did not contain a prohibition of voluntary compensation for the employer costs for employee travel from place of residence to the place of collection.
Second. Delivery costs rabotnikov- "watchmen" of the place of residence (the collection) to the place of work and back, provided the collective bargaining agreement, are the other costs associated with the production and sale, and not to the cost of labor (under. 12.1 p. 1 tbsp . 264 of the Tax Code). Then there are the costs associated with the performance of the employees job duties are not included in the remuneration system.
Third. All kinds of statutory compensation payments related to the implementation of the employees job duties are not subject to insurance contributions (cop. "And" n. 2 hours. 1 tbsp. 9 of the Law № 212-FZ). In accordance with Article 313 of the LC RF additional compensation for employees of "northern" organizations can be established, including collective agreements, agreements and local normative acts based on the financial capacity of the employer.
Based on the foregoing, the panel of judges of the RF, decided to transfer the case to the Presidium, came to the following conclusion. Provided for by the collective agreement for the payment of compensation for workers fare from their home to a collection point and back are compensatory. They are installed in order to compensate employees costs associated with the performance of their work duties, and are not included in wages. Therefore, such payments are not subject to insurance contributions under subparagraph "and" paragraph 2 of Part 1 of Article 9 of the Federal Law of 24.07.09 № 212-FZ.
Presidium meeting on 08.04.2014, the company has also supported abolishing judicial acts first, appellate and cassation.

Resolution of the Federal Western Siberian region of 05.03.2014, the №A70-4564/2013
FAS West Siberian District in its Resolution of 05.03.2014, № A70-4564 / 2013 came to the conclusion that the absence of a certificate of incapacity mention of the name of the physician specialty and is a minor mistake, for which the employer is not responsible. Therefore, if the fact of occurrence of insured events is not disputed, the flaws in the ballot, admitted doctor, are not grounds for refusal to take to offset the cost of paying benefits.
The essence of the case is as follows. Tyumen regional branch of the FSS has not taken to offset benefit costs due to errors in the certificate of incapacity. Namely, in the bulletin did not specify the name and specialty of the attending physician; period of leave from work for more than 30 calendar days has been issued without the involvement of the medical commission. According to representatives of the FSS, the employer could not take the employee incorrectly decorated sick leave. Since he did not use this right and paid sick leave, the Fund is not required to reimburse.
The courts of all instances sided with the organizations referred to the next. The very fact of insured accidents on sick leave Social Security Fund is not disputed, and the violations are not substantial. The Fund has not demonstrated that the defects in the design of hospital sheets affect the data, which are essential for decision to offset the costs of compulsory social insurance. In addition, the judge noted that inaccuracies in sick leave were allowed a medical institution. Therefore, the responsibility for such errors can not be attributed to the employer.
In addition to the above arguments the Court noted that the authorities have the right to sue the FSS to healthcare organizations for reimbursement of expenditure on insurance coverage issued by unreasonably or improperly issued a certificate of incapacity.

The essence of the case is as follows. The Company applies the mode UTII retail presence, calculated on the basis of a flat tax actually used leased space. However, the inspectors stated that the taxpayer has reduced the tax base, and assessed that UTII counting the benchmark return in accordance with the sales area, which was listed in the title and inventory documents.
However, the court decision on additional tax canceled. As the Court pointed out, mandatory points of reference for the areas classified as "floor space" and the account in the calculation of their UTII is the actual use of space. This should be confirmed by a set of evidence. In this situation, the company introduced a scheme of use of the premises, orders on the allocation of sales area. The taxpayer explained that the business area has been allocated racks and other temporary structures, preventing the passage of visitors. Also during the trial were questioned persons who confirmed that fact under the trading floor was used only part of the premises.

Link of the tax that the leases and technical certificates BTI do not contain changes in the area of trade halls, the Court rejected. Justification - when the business area is shown with temporary structures, changes in constitutive and inventory documents in accordance with the current legislation is not introduced.

Resolution of the Federal Western Siberian region of 14.03.2014, № A81-2538/2013
FAS West Siberian District in its Resolution of 14.03.2014, № A81-2538 / 2013 came to the conclusion that the application of the regime singled out the USN, which was the property of the reorganized company is not required to recover VAT on the resulting property.
The essence of the case is as follows. As a result of the reorganization in the form of separation was created by a legal person using the USN. On the basis of the transfer balance it got fixed assets. Tax officials said that the company was spun off to recover VAT previously reimbursed by the predecessor of the present property.

According to this rule, taken to deduct VAT on the purchase of property to restore, if in the future the property will be used by persons who are not VAT payers. Organizations using razhim USN exempt from VAT (p. 2 tbsp. 346.11 of the Tax Code). Consequently, the successor shall restore and make the payment of VAT in respect of the property transferred to it by the reorganized legal entity.
However, the courts of all instances supported by the taxpayer, stating the following.

This is stated in paragraph 8 of Article 162.1 of the Tax Code. Obligation to recover VAT charged only to those taxpayers applying mode USN, who had previously used the general taxation system.
According to the judges, the VAT should be restored only by the person to whom the tax was refunded, and which formed the source of the recovery of VAT.

Resolution of the Federal District of the Moscow 26.12.2013 city №A40-132828/12
The Regulation of FAS Moscow District on 26.12.2013 (case number A40-132828 / 12), with reference to Articles 100 and 101 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation noted that the tax authority shall confirm the receipt of the inspection report and the taxpayer notice of the place and time of the material in the case of sending the above documents by mail. The mere fact of sending documents by e-mail a cover letter, as well as the presence of the mark of the Russian Post is not evidence of proper notice and the absence of such evidence may be grounds for annulment of the decision of the tax authority, adopted following the consideration of the audit materials. Moreover, the inspection should be undertaken the necessary and sufficient measures to notify the taxpayer, so having information about the room number for an organization, place of residence CEO, however, ignored the possibility of inspection notify society with all available methods, which led to the violation of the rights of the taxpayer to file an objection to the conclusions inspections contained in the tax audit. Given the above, the company has actually been deprived of the opportunity to participate in the study (refutation) of evidence obtained during the desk audit. In these circumstances, the courts have made a correct conclusion that the tax audit report is considered by the Tax Inspectorate in the absence of representatives of the person from whom the tax liability is not properly notified about the time and place of the tax audit materials. These violations are recognized legislator significant, since they hinder the person in respect of which tests are to participate in the process of reviewing the audit materials personally. Violation of the material terms of the procedure of consideration of a tax audit is the basis for cancellation of the higher tax authority or court decisions of tax authorities to prosecute for tax offenses, or a decision to refuse to prosecute for tax offenses.

Determination of the Russian Federation of 31.01.2014 №VAS-497/14
The Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation in the ruling dated 31.01.14 № BAC 497/14 came to the conclusion that during the desk audit, tax inspectors have the right to demand documents from taxpayers who use tax exemptions. However, it is necessary to delimit benefits from situations in which there is no object of taxation. Transactions are exempt from VAT by virtue of Article 149 of the Tax Code, to the benefits are not treated. Accordingly, the tax inspectors do not have the right to demand that the taxpayers primary documents confirming the performance of such operations.
The essence of the case is as follows. When conducting a desk audit tax office has no right to demand from the taxpayer for more information and documents (paragraph. 7, Art. 88 of the Tax Code). However, this rule there are some exceptions. One of them - the use of taxpayer tax benefits (paragraph. 6 Art. 88 of the Tax Code). Some inspections believe that relate to benefits, including transactions not subject to VAT (their list is enshrined in Article 149 of the Tax Code).
During the desk audit, tax inspectors have requested of the documents confirming the legality of the VAT exemption of operations (granting of loans), referred to in section 7 of the VAT tax return. The request for documents were listed invoices, book sales, loan agreements, payment of interest on loans. The organization has refused to provide the documents and tax inspectors fined the company on the basis of Art. 120 of the Tax Code, "gross violation of the rules of income and expense and the objects of taxation."
The courts of all instances decided in favor of the taxpayer. As pointed judge, recognition for the purposes of taxation of transactions that are exempt from VAT, means that such operations are not included in the tax base of this tax. While the benefits - these are the advantages for certain categories of taxpayers, which include the ability to not pay tax or pay it in a smaller size (p. 1 tbsp. 56 of the Tax Code).
Thus, the exemption from VAT, the Tax Code for certain transactions to the benefits are not equal. Consequently, the organization is not required to submit during the desk audit documents in case in Section 7 Declaration include the operations that are not subject to taxation, including the operations of issuing loans.

Determination of the Russian Federation of 25.02.2014 №VAS-1259/14
The Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation in the ruling dated 25.02.2014 № BAC 1259/14 came to the conclusion that the lack of professional experience in the employee finding work before maternity leave, no evidence of the creation of the situation, aimed at the unlawful receipt of funds from the Social Security Fund.
The essence of the case is as follows. Regional Office FSS from Kaliningrad refused to reimburse the individual entrepreneur expense worker benefits and maternity leave. According to inspectors, individual entrepreneur has created an artificial situation, aimed at illegal receipt of the Fund. Basis for the conclusion was the fact that the employee has been accepted for the position of store manager for 2.5 months before leaving on vacation for child care. In this case, the insurer before such a post in the staffing absent. In addition, experts FSS drew attention to the fact that the employee has been unemployed for several years, and shortly before the insured event was arranged just two jobs (main and part-time).
The courts of all instances decided in favor of the individual entrepreneur, pointing to the next. The first - the payment of benefits and the adoption of cost does not depend on how long the employee worked before the insured event or the gestational age at the date of employment. Moreover, Article 64 of the Labor Code expressly prohibits an employer to refuse to employ a woman because of her pregnancy.
Second - in workers has a degree in "merchandise." Thus, it is consistent with the requirements of her post. And the fact that she worked as an employee of another and in combination, does not matter. Since the Labor Code allows workers to enter into several contracts to work part-time.
Third - the fact that the earlier an individual entrepreneur was not the head office store is not evidence of the fictitious nature of the employment. In addition, the store was opened shortly before hiring an employee.
Fourth - in support of employment workers were provided with copies of staffing; timesheets; settlement and payroll; invoices, confirming the reception of the goods store manager; cashbook. On this basis, the Court held that because the employee is actually performing its duties, the benefit was paid to her legally.

Determination of the Russian Federation of 13.02.2014 № BAC 808/14
The Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation in the ruling dated 13.02.2014 № BAC 808/14 concluded that the penalty on the basis of Article 47 of the Federal Law of 24.07.09 № 212-FZ is collected only for non-payment of premiums underestimated the basis for assessment. If their sum is calculated correctly, then there is no reason for the penalty.
The essence of the argument is as follows. Organization of the Volgograd region paid correctly calculated premiums overdue. During this representatives of the Pension Fund have fined the company with reference to Article 47 of the Federal Law of 24.07.09 № 212-FZ on insurance premiums (hereinafter - the Law № 212-FZ). Amount of the fine was more than 400 thousand rubles. The Pension Fund believed that the offender may be prosecuted for the mere failure to transfer within the prescribed period of insurance premiums. That is, even including in the case where the amount of the contributions payable, has been calculated correctly.
However, the courts of all instances with the position of the Pension Fund did not agree. Justification of the following. Of paragraph 1 of Article 47 of the Law № 212-FZ, it follows that the penalty shall be collected only for non-payment or partial payment of insurance premiums as a result of underestimation of the basis for assessment, otherwise their wrong calculation or other unlawful actions (inaction) of contributors. Consequently, if the payer correctly numbered contributions, but their untimely paid, it can not be held liable. In this case, the premiums for OPS and CBOs have been calculated correctly, the base of the contributions are not understated. Hence, the reason for the penalty for failure to pay correctly calculated premiums not ruled Court.
A similar conclusion was reached by the Supreme Arbitration Court in a decision dated 31.05.13 № BAC 3196/13. SAC indicated that the late payment of insurance premiums calculated correctly implies the accrual of penalties, and not a penalty. In this regard, has been recognized as a form of ineffective claim for payment of arrears of premiums (Form 5-FIU), as it provides for a penalty for late execution requirements.

Resolution of the Federal District of the Moscow 23.01.2014 № A40-12523/2013
Federal District of Moscow in its Resolution of 23.01.2014 № A40-12523 / 2013 came to the conclusion that the injury received by an employee in his return from a business trip (including after the arrival of the train), recognized an accident at work. Therefore, the FSS RF to admit expense of temporary disability benefits.
The essence of the argument is as follows. Returning from a business trip, the employee was injured (broken leg). In this case, the accident occurred at the exit of the train (on the platform). The organization paid worker temporary disability benefits and appealed to the FSS to declare the costs of temporary disability. However, representatives of the FSS refused. The main argument - because the injury was received after the arrival of the train, it is not connected with the performance of job duties. The accident was still possible to qualify as insurance, if it occurred during their journey on the transport provided by the employer. But in this situation, transportation for the employee of the station was not provided.
The Court noted the following. Article 229 of the Labor Code requires the employer to convene a commission to investigate the accident. That she has the right to qualify the incident as an accident at work or an accident that is not associated with production (Art. 229.2 LC RF).
In this case, the Commission recognized that the event occurred on a working day at the time the employee returns from a business trip, and the trauma associated with the performance of the employee job duties. Means for qualifying accident at work as an insurance case is only important that the incident took place during working hours and in connection with the performance of job duties (Article. 3 of the Federal Law of 24.07.98 № 125-FZ "On Compulsory Social Insurance against accidents and occupational diseases "). Consequently, the controversial injury should be classified as an industrial accident, the Court ruled.

Resolution of the Federal District of the Moscow 25.12.2013 № A40-34818 / 13
The Regulation of FAS Moscow District of 25.12.2013 № A40-34818 / 13 concluded that if the property is purchased for resale, lost (including as a result of the fire), it is customary to deduct the amount of VAT to recover is not necessary.
The essence of the dispute. Assessed that the capital tax of VAT in the amount of more than 8 million. Rubles., As that when goods are lost in a fire is not restored before deducting VAT.
The conclusion of the tax was based on the following interpretation of the provisions of paragraph 2 of Article 171 of the Tax Code. Deductions are made for the amount of VAT charged when buying goods for transactions deemed to be objects of taxation with this tax. Disposals of property, for reasons not related to the implementation, subject to VAT is not. And since the product is blown, it is no longer satisfied the conditions of paragraph 2 of Article 171 of the Tax Code. Therefore VAT previously received deduction, you need to be restored. A similar position is held by the Ministry of Finance of Russia (for example, a letter from 15.05.08 № 03-07-11 / 194).
However, the court upheld the taxpayer. The judges pointed out that the organization has presented evidence that the goods have been destroyed by fire. That evidence began to help the Division of State Fire Supervision, inventory inventory inventory items, report the Chamber of Commerce on the market value of the lost of movable property. In addition, the fact that the fire was not challenged by the tax.
The Court noted that the list of grounds for recovery of VAT is exhaustive (cop. 2 p. 3 of Art. 170 of the Tax Code). Such a basis for recovery of VAT as the loss of the goods therein specified. In addition, the Court emphasized that the condition for obtaining VAT deduction by virtue of Article 171 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation - is the acquisition of goods for resale and perform other operations recognized as objects of taxation, and not the fact of their subsequent implementation. In view of the Court concluded that the tax code does not require the taxpayer to write off the balance of goods in connection with the disposal (destruction) of the goods, to recover VAT on it.

Resolution of the Federal District of the Moscow 22.08.2013 city №A40-147336 / 12-115-1029
The Regulation of FAS Moscow District on 22.8.2013 (case number A40-147336 / 12-115-1029) noted that the analysis of the rules of Articles 252, 255 and 270 of the Tax Code, it follows that not all payments arising from the performance of obligations by the taxpayer on labor relations, can be attributed to the cost reducing the tax base for income tax. Labour Code does not provide for the payment of compensation (of compensation) in the event of termination of the employment contract by mutual agreement of the labor contract. The law obliges to pay to lay off employees only monetary compensation for unused annual leave (Article. 127 TC RF). Court proceeds from the legal position laid down in the Decree of the Presidium of the Russian Federation of 01.03.2011 № 13018/10, under which payments to employees for referring to the costs accounted for profits tax purposes, should be directly related to the performance of their employees employment duties within the employment relationship. Please note that, for example, in the Letter to the Russian Finance Ministry of ot29.07.2013 № 03-03-06 / 1/30009 noted that the termination of the contract in connection with the dismissal of an employee organization, as well as on other grounds not provided for in Art. 178 TC RF, severance pay, provided labor or collective bargaining agreement, a supplementary agreement to the employment contract, can be accounted for as an expense, reducing the tax base for corporate income tax.

Resolution of the Federal District of the North-West of 10.12.13 № A56-16143 / 2013
FAS Northwestern District in order dated 10.12.13 № A56-16143 / 2013 came to the conclusion that the fact that the PIT is listed before the employee receives wages, does not mean that the tax has not been paid, and, accordingly, does not is the basis for a fine under Article 123 of the Tax Code for failure to pay tax on the income of individuals.
The essence of the argument is as follows. The organization listed the personal income tax in the budget for a couple of days earlier than the salary paid to the employee. Tax authorities considered that the tax in this case is not paid. Basing his opinion that the personal income tax should be withheld from the taxpayer's income when it is actually paid (paragraph. 4 tbsp. 226 of the Tax Code). If the organization is to transfer the tax payment of wages, therefore the personal income tax withheld from the employee's income is not, and at the expense of the organization. Meanwhile, the tax payment at the expense of tax agents are not allowed (n. 9 Art. 226 of the Tax Code). As a result, the tax authorities have imposed a fine on the Organization in accordance with Article 123 of the Tax Code, as well as personal income tax and accrued interest.
However, the courts of all instances with the arguments of the tax office did not agree, stating the following. Tax laws effectively prohibited to pay personal income tax at the expense of tax agents (n. 9 Art. 226 of the Tax Code).

Tax inspectors argued that once tax is not entered in the budgets of municipalities on whose territory they were separate divisions , we have the personal income tax arrears . This arrears was eventually settled by the personal income tax overpayments , resulting in another administrative entity . However, the tax inspectors anyway has accrued penalties in the amount of arrears that took the Company to offsetting .
The trial court sided with the taxpayer , while the appeal and cassation sided tax inspection .. Courts noted that tax agents having separate units are required to list calculated and withheld personal income tax for its location and the location of each separate division .
Since local taxes fell at a later date , the Company had a debt , so the accrual of penalties in this case is justified. Besides the courts referred to the provisions of paragraph 7 of Article 45 of the Tax Code . It says that when it detects an error in the taxpayer registration orders for transfer tax , which caused no failure to transfer the tax to the budget system of the Russian Federation , he is entitled to submit to the tax authority at the place of its registration statement on his mistake , to clarify base membership payment , the tax period , or the status of the payer. However, in this situation the Company with such allegations in the inspection did not appeal .
SAC in the ruling dated 24.04.2013 , the number VAS-784/13 identified and a rights-based approach in resolving federal district courts dispute. Separate courts rely on the fact that the obligation to pay tax is not dependent on the correctness of instructions OKATO payment documents and the violation of the order of payment of the tax may not result accruing penalties . According to the Court , with proper indication of the accounts of the Federal Treasury PIT in any case comes to the budget system of the Russian Federation , as a result of which the tax authorities and the Federal Treasury have an opportunity to reallocate budgets between the appropriate amount of tax .
Under such circumstances, in order to form a uniform jurisprudence and case was transferred to the Presidium , which eventually took the side of taxpayers.

In turn, the Court acknowledged that the per diem dispatched employees legislation led to the employee's residence outside the place of residence for more than 24 hours.

"Aimed at illegal acquisition at the expense of the FSS benefits for pregnancy and childbirth in Oversize, by raising salaries to the insured person before the coming holidays Pregnancy and childbirth. " The evidence for this conclusion was that the salary of the employee salary exceeds the head three times.
The judges in the Supreme Definition from 13.02.2013, the number VAS-16549/12 noted the following. By virtue of Articles 132 and 135 of the Labour Code of the Russian Federation to establish the employee salary is the exclusive powers of the employer. In the present case, the salary was set employee not only long before the occurrence of the insured event, but even before the onset of her pregnancy. By calculating the benefit from a reduced three times the salary of the employee, the FSS actually acknowledged the existence of real employment relationship between the individual entrepreneur and his collaborators. In addition, such a big difference in the salary the employee and the head was due to the fact that the latter is in agreement with the individual entrepreneur worked every day.
In such circumstances, the judges SAC held that the arguments of the FSS to create an artificial situation to increase the salaries of the staff member, to the larger benefits are not justified. The Presidium of the Russian Federation agreed with this conclusion.

Thus, until the end of January following the tax period, the need to provide a certificate to sign a "1" indicating therein only the total amount of income from which income tax has not been withheld, and no amount of tax withheld. In turn, help with the sign "1" is supplied by 1 April of the same year, reflects the amount of income received by the employee during the tax period, the tax base, which can count the tax amount calculated, withheld, the above, and do not unduly withheld withheld fiscal agent of the tax. On this basis, the tax authorities have decided that since there is no reference to the sign "1", it means that the tax agent has not reported on the tax deducted.
Meanwhile, the judge did not agree with such a hasty conclusion. They found that the disputed information, which indicated a sign of "2" and contained all the necessary information to be specified in the certificate form 2-PIT with a sign "1". In such circumstances, the Court considers incorrect specification attribute value can not be considered as a bug.

Conclusions EAC from 09.04.2013, the number A40-136146/11-107-569
The Presidium of 09.04.2013, with the consideration of the case number A40-136146/11-107-569 Moscow Arbitration Court came to the conclusion that the taxpayer is not entitled to include in the expenses of the amount of VAT paid at their own expense on unconfirmed exports.
As follows from the case, the company carried out transactions taxed at a zero rate of VAT. In respect of certain transactions had been unable to collect the documents proving the legitimacy of using "export" tax rate. In this regard, the budget has been paid a tax rate of 18 percent. After three years, ie the period during which it was possible to confirm the application of "zero" VAT paid tax amount was included in income tax expense, prompting claims by the fiscal authorities.
The court ruled in favor of tax inspectors, noting that as a general rule, stated in paragraph 19 of Article 270 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, to the number of expenses that are not deductible for taxation purposes, are included taxes, charges against the taxpayer in accordance with the Code of the buyer (transferee) of goods ( work, services, property rights), unless otherwise provided by the Code.

Judgment of 26 March 2013 number VAS-3541/13
The Supreme Arbitration Court Ruling of 26 March 2013 number VAS-3541/13 held that when calculating the length of service required for the calculation of benefits for temporary disability periods of less than 30 days, summed up separately from all of months. Every so obtained are taken for 30 days a month, twelve months of the year are translated in full.
The essence of the case is as follows. The procedure for calculating length of service to determine the level of benefits for temporary disability and maternity leave set out in article 16 of the Law of 29 December 2006 № 255-FZ. This provision stipulates that the calculation of pensionable service performed in calendar order. Scoring rules themselves and confirm the length of service in order to calculate temporary disability benefits are contained in the Order of the Health Ministry from 06.02.2007, the number 91. In paragraph 21 of the Regulations states that: "The calculation of periods of work (service activity) produced a calendar based on one-month (30 days) and full year (12 months). In this case, every 30 days, these periods are translated into full months, and every 12 months, these periods are translated into full years. " Society, speaking of one of the parties in this case led first count of the total number of calendar days as a part-time employee from previous jobs, and with this, the result was divided by 30 and each received thus formed 12 months as a full year. The result was that the employee's length of service exceeds five years. Therefore, temporary disability benefits were paid to him on the basis of 80 per cent of average earnings.
The Court pointed out that in this case the calculation of pensionable service workers made public in contradiction to the principle enshrined in paragraph 21 of the Rules. In this case, the Court accepted the arguments Social Insurance Fund determined that specified in the order they should be used only in respect of not completely fulfilled months. That is, when a calendar year or a month worked out completely, it is taken into account length of service as a full month. At the same time, according to the calculations if the insurance period the employee is less than five years, the temporary disability benefits be paid on the basis of sixty per cent of the average wage of the worker. On this basis, the Court held that the refusal of the Fund of Social Insurance Company of competition unduly paid aid corresponds to the current legislation.

19 April
Conclusions SAC number A73-15737/2011
The Presidium of the proceedings A73-15737/2011 number of the Arbitration Court of Khabarovsk Krai came to the conclusion that the existence of a counter payables to the same counterparty, for which the number of debt, does not prevent the organization to take into account the amount of data in the formation of allowance for doubtful accounts.
In considering the case of three instances courts have sided with the tax authorities. The judges have interpreted the provisions of Article 266 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation as permitting the recognition of bad debt only if there is a high probability of default. Therefore the existence of the society to offset the possibility of homogeneous monetary obligations unilaterally on the basis of Article 410 of the Civil Code, Civil Code excludes the validity of registration of such amounts in the formation of the reserve.
By insisting on the legality of their actions, the Company comes from the fact that, in accordance with paragraph 1 of Article 266 of the Code of doubtful debt is any debt to the taxpayer, which arose in connection with the sale of goods, performance of works, rendering of services, in the event that the debt is not paid in deadline set by the contract, and are not secured by collateral, guarantee, bank guarantee. In addition, the termination of the obligation offset counter claims is a right, not an obligation of the parties. Therefore, this possibility should not entail an automatic adjustment of the reserve, which is formed on the basis of accounting data.
In turn, the SAC in Determination of 19.12.2012, the number VAS-13598/12 pointed out that when considering similar disputes the courts rely on the fact that the tax law does not prohibit the inclusion of non-operating expenses in the amounts of provisions in the presence of a counter- accounts payable. The lack of a uniform judicial practice on this issue was the reason for the referral of the case to the Presidium, which ruled in favor of the taxpayer.
17 April
Determination of the Russian Federation of 07.03.2013, the number VAS-1947/13
In the definition of the Russian Federation of 07.03.2013, the number VAS-1947/13 noted that in the absence of the address on your registration, and undelivered aware of his actual whereabouts of the tax authorities, the latter has the right to appoint a field audit to be carried out on their site.
As follows from the case, representatives of the tax authorities have decided to conduct a field test at the address that was specified in the Incorporation. However, the Company at the address was missing.
Since the information on the existence of other premises of the taxpayer did not have the inspection, the decision was made to conduct on-site inspection of its activities on the territory of the tax authority. The Company has tried to appeal the decision, citing the fact that the inspectors actually deprived of the possibility to exercise his part in the events on-site inspection, to provide the necessary clarifications and documents. However, the Court in this case is not found in the actions of the tax authorities of any violations.
According to paragraph 1 of Article 89 of the Tax Code field audit is conducted in the area (indoors) of the taxpayer based on the decision of the head (deputy head) of the tax authority. In this case, this provision provides that if a taxpayer is not possible to provide an office for the site inspection, it can be carried out at the location of the tax authority. SAC decided that if at the time the taxpayer-site inspection did not inform the tax authorities of its physical location, by the same token, he did not leave the tax authorities no choice where to draw the field audit.
12 April
Ruling of 26.02.2013, the number 16593/12
The Decision of 26.02.2013, the EAC number 16593/12 partially recognized as invalid the provisions of paragraphs 5 and 6 of the letter from the Ministry of Finance of 01.06.2012 № 03-07-15/56, as inconsistent with the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. That is, the entity shall not recover the VAT on fixed assets in the event of further use in the manufacture of goods that are sold at a zero rate. And in such situations is not required and calculate the proportion of goods destined for export.
SAC justified its decision as follows. According to paragraph 5 of paragraph 3 of Article 170 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation taxpayer is required to recover VAT, including fixed assets and intangible assets, in the event of further use of the goods (works, services) in operations that are subject to this tax at the rate of 0 percent. The Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation considered that this provision applies to cases where the fixed assets in whole or in part will shift to the production of goods, the implementation of which is taxed at a zero rate of VAT. Moreover, the Finance Ministry proposed a formula to calculate the amount of VAT to be reconstructed based on the share produced by this equipment aiming to export goods.
In turn, the SAC has indicated that, with respect to basic rules set out in subparagraph 5 of paragraph 3 of Article 170 of the Code applies only to the means of labor used in operations for the sale of goods (works, services), are taxable at the rate of 0%. On the fixed assets used by the taxpayer in the production of products (goods), these rules do not apply. Since in the same paragraph 5 is no mention of the main tools used in the production of goods (works, services).
SAC disagreed and proposed calculation formula of the Ministry of Finance VAT to be recovered on the fixed assets on the basis of the amount of tax taken to a deduction, in that proportion in which these objects are used in the production and (or) the sale of goods (works, services) taxable at the rate of zero percent. Judges justified by the fact that the Tax Code does not contain provisions that oblige taxpayers to calculate parts (shares) in which the fixed assets used in operations taxed at a zero rate, to determine the tax in proportion and conduct necessary in such cases the separate account.
10 April
Resolution of the Federal District of the Moscow 01.02.2013, the number A40-88834/12-91-481
The Regulation of FAS Moscow District dated 01.02.2013 on case number A40-88834/12-91-481 noted that the Tax Code provides for the possibility of release from liability of the taxpayer for non-payment or underpayment of taxes. However, for this purpose must strictly follow the procedures prescribed by paragraph 4 of Article 81 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. According to this norm, the taxpayer will not be penalized if it will identify the violation, will produce conversion payable in respect of a particular tax (reporting) period, the amount of tax can count the penalties for late payment of additional accruals as a result of errors detected amount of the tax shall pay the amount of additionally charged tax and interest in the budget, and after that will make corrections to previously submitted a declaration by the IRS and provide a revised declaration. Violation of this order will result in that the penalties under Article 122 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation will be charged.
As follows from the case, society detect errors that have led to an underestimation of the tax base. In this regard, the tax authority has provided a revised declaration, "but the amount of tax and the corresponding amounts of fines were paid to the budget were not immediately apparent. Therefore, tax inspectors have attracted the society to liability under paragraph 1 of Article 122 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, and their actions the Court considered legitimate.
The judges referred to the Constitutional Court on June 7, 2001 № 141-O. It pointed out that paragraph 4 of Article 81 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation envisages the release from liability to the taxpayer filing the application completing and amending the tax return even after the expiry of the tax, but only on condition that, along with the elimination of tax violations, he will pay the remaining amount . In the present case, at the time of submission to the IRS the adjusted tax declaration in the budget was not listed. Thus, a condition which is necessary for the release of the fine, the company failed to comply. The Court in this case sided with the tax authorities
At the same time, according to the judges, the argument that self-identification and correction of errors by the taxpayer in the declaration refers to mitigating circumstances is untenable. That is, in the present case, the taxpayer, who himself found and corrected their tax errors, failed not only to achieve the abolition of penalties imposed, but also to reduce their amount.

Resolution of the Federal District of the Moscow 18.02.2013, the number A40-83540/12-116-180
The Regulation of FAS Moscow District on 18.02.2013, the number A40-83540/12-116-180 noted that the priority display of goods on store shelves is not an advertisement. Consequently, regulation costs for such services in order to calculate the income tax is not refundable.
During the proceedings, the Court concluded that the tax agency erroneously attributed the costs of the merchandise to the costs referred to in subparagraph 28 of paragraph 1 of Article 264 of the Tax Code, namely expenses for advertising produced (purchased) and (or) the traded goods ( works, services). The fact that the display of goods is a special arrangement of goods in retail shelves, stands, hinged, checkout the shelves at a retail space in the point of sale. The purpose of the calculations in this case was to draw customers' attention to the product, encouraging the purchase of certain products. This goal is achieved by skillful arrangement of goods at the point of sale (considered a specific area of sales area, the level of the shelves, as well as other factors).
At the same time, responses to the merchandise are not advertising activities. Display of goods will be staying at the points of sale of the goods. No additional data, information resulting from the calculations of the buyer does not receive. According to Article 3 of the Law "On Advertising" Advertising - this is the information distributed by any means, in any form or by any means, addressed to the general public and aimed at drawing attention to the subject of advertising, formation or maintenance of interest in him and his promotion to the market. Due to the fact that in this case the disputed costs do not relate to advertising, the requirement of inspection of rationing in order to calculate the income tax was considered illegal by the court.

Resolution of the Federal Volga District of 22.01.2013, the number A65-27465/2011
The Regulation of FAS Volga District in its decision of 22.01.2013, the number A65-27465/2011 noted that the payment of a one-day official business are not subject to contributions to social funds.
As follows from the case, representatives of the Pension Fund insisted that the per diem paid to employees of the company on overnight trips, do not apply to amounts which are not subject to insurance contributions. His position, the representatives of the Pension Fund is based on the fact that the per diem paid only for stays outside the place of residence for more than 24 hours, which means that when the day trips they should not be. Meanwhile, as the organization has decided to allocate appropriate funds to employees for reimbursement of costs of transportation and food, it means that these payments should be assessed in the funds.
In turn, the judge noted that the per diem dispatched employees legislation led to the employee's residence outside the place of residence for more than 24 hours. So, in this case the dispute is not daily. However, the disputed payments based on their orientation and economic content may be recognized as reimbursement of other costs associated with business trips made with the permission or knowledge of the employer. And because such amounts may relate to income (economic benefits) of the employee. Consequently, cash (called daily) paid by the Company to its employees under the direction of a one-day trip, represent a recovery of a fixed amount of expenses the employee caused by the need to perform work functions outside the place of permanent employment. Therefore, such payments are not subject to insurance premiums.

Judgment of 11.01.2013, № VAS-17754/12
In the Judgment of 11.01.2013, № VAS-17754/12 found that a temporary non-use of assets is not a basis for changing the established order to account for the depreciation of fixed assets accounting. The central issue is this. The basis for the additional taxation on property served as a conclusion about abuse of the tax office accounting payable in determining the advance tax payments worth four production buildings, which were previously accounted for as part of the company assets, and then by the head were transferred to the 41 "Products." For its part, the company considered it unfounded claims of tax inspectors, citing the fact that the disputed assets to be sold, and the goods are not subject to property tax. In turn, the judge turned to the provisions of the Regulations on the application of the accounting plan of financial and economic activities, approved by order of the Ministry of Finance on October 31, 2000 № 94n. This Instruction provides that account 01 "Fixed Assets" is intended to summarize information on the availability and flow of the organization, in-use stock for conservation, in the lease, trust. In turn, by 41 "Products" is needed to summarize the information about the presence and movement of goods and materials purchased as items for sale. Thus, the Court concluded that a necessary condition for classifying assets accounting for 41 is the account of the place of purchase for the purpose of sale. Meanwhile, in the present case, the disputed property as at the time of accounting for, and at the time when changes have signs, paragraph 4, AR 6/01 "Fixed sredstva2. Temporary failure of these assets does not justify a change in the established order of registration and approval to write off the cost of fixed assets accounting. other words, the order established by the legislation of fixed assets does not provide for transfer of assets recorded in the accounting organization as an asset in commodities. Consequently, the arguments of the tax inspectorate on additional public property tax is justified.

Resolution of the Federal Central District from January 22, 2013 № A54-4428/2012
The Regulation of FAS Central District in its decision of January 22, 2013 № A54-4428/2012 noted that the tax authority can not refuse to state registration at the home address of his only parent, who is the CEO of the newly created LLC.
The judges made their conclusion on the basis that the location of the legal entity, including a limited liability company, is the place of its registration (paragraph 2 of Art. 54 CC, paragraph 2 of Art. 4 of the Act of February 8, 1998 . № 14-FZ). The provisions of paragraph 1 of Article 5, paragraph 2 of Article 8 of the Act of August 8, 2001 № 129-FZ stipulates that the state registration at the address specified by the founder. Moreover, the law does not prohibit registration of legal persons by place of residence of its founder. And, in fact, called the conclusion is also mandatory for the Federal Tax Service tax letter from 23.09.2011 № PA-21-6/293.
Arbitration Court dismissed the argument of the tax authority to ban the placement in a residential area of legal entities. The court stated that the relevant rules of the housing and civil laws that are referenced auditors do not regulate legal relations on state registration of legal entities, and govern your use of premises. In addition, pursuant to paragraph 2 of Article 17 may be used LCD RF premises for their activities or self-employment of those living there legally citizens if it does not violate the rights and lawful interests of citizens and the requirements to be met by housing . Meanwhile, the use of premises for the state registration of the LLC at the location of its Director General is not to say that the owner has placed in its own private living space enterprise, agency or organization. Nor does it mean that residing in the residential area of the face most certainly will do business. Indeed, the location of the legal entity (place of registration) may not coincide with the actual placement of the property complex and production areas of society. That is, the use of the head of the home address for the registration of the LLC does not violate the rights and lawful interests of citizens and the requirements to be satisfied in the living room. And because of the tax waiver to state registration on the grounds mentioned in the application that address the permanent executive body matches the address of the place of residence of the founder of a legal entity, the judges found to be illegal.

The Regulation of FAS Moscow District on 18.01.2013, № A40-32442/12-129-151 noted that the fact that the company has entered into with a third party service agreement, which could handle it full-time employee does not mean that these costs are not economically justified and feasible.
As follows from the case, in the field audit, tax inspectors assessed additional public taxes, fines and penalties, accusing her of getting unjustified tax benefits. Tax authorities seemed suspicious contract for the provision of cleaning services areas, as in the state of society has had positions with similar responsibilities. On this basis, tax authorities concluded that the disputed contract is for the sole purpose to get a tax benefit that under such circumstances can not be considered well-founded.
In turn, the Court examined in detail all aspects of attracting outside organizations to conduct this type of work.
The Court found that the business transactions were real, the company incurred expenses are documented, are manufacturing and aimed at generating income from really carried on. In this case, the judges considered that the involvement of a third party to carry out cleaning of the premises by the exercise of the applicant during the conclusion of the contract and the scale of construction works without stopping the production and business activities, the need for general cleanups refurbished premises, more work on cleaning though regular number of cleaners was only partially filled. Moreover, the area that served regular employees of the company and contractors have been documented divorced. Thus, the Court held that the argument that there is no tax inspection feasibility and appropriateness of costs is unreasonable.

The central issue is this. The organization changed its address registration and, as a consequence, has been registered in another tax office. That's where organization and requested a charge and pay interest for late VAT returns, what was the fault of the former tax office. However, the new tax office in which the Organization has been registered refused, citing the fact that the tax authority at the place of registration of the new can not be responsible for the actions of tax authorities, which violated a term of VAT refund.
The court stated that the calculation of interest, as well as the public's right to receive the dividends tax is not contested. At the same time, the tax authorities in accordance with Article 30 of the Tax Code of the RF form a single system, then the duty assessed on the return of interest shall discharge the tax authority, in which the organization is currently in the tax records.

Resolution of the Presidium of 06.11.2012 № 7423/12
The Decree of the Presidium of 06.11.2012 № 7423/12 concluded that the settlement difference incurred by the taxpayer in return of the loan is recognized in non-operating income (expenses), without any restriction. According to the court case is the nature of the dispute. Tax Authority considered that the company improperly understated the base for income tax, is included in the amount of non-operating expenses, which are erroneously classified as foreign exchange gain on debt. Tax inspectors noted that inmates company (borrower) with fizitsami (lender) loan agreements can not be regarded as currency debt. This is due to the fact that all payments between the parties made in rubles, in connection with which arose between the amounts received and returned by borrowing the difference is not recognized foreign exchange gains in the meaning attributed to it by Chapter 25 of the Code. According to tax authorities, in this case, a sum differences. In this case, the negative settlement difference is considered as payment for use of the loan and should be recognized as an expense subject to the restrictions set out in Article 269 of the Code. In turn, according to the Presidium, the restrictions set out in Article 269 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation for the accounting for interest on debt, do not apply to emerging negative sum differences on principal. Since interest by virtue of paragraph 3 of Article 43 of the Code of the Russian Federation Naklogovogo should be considered only pre-declared income on debt. Accordingly settlement difference arising due to changes in the exchange rate as the difference between the amount of cash in rubles, received and returned on the loan can not be considered interest. Then there is no reason to limit the ability of the taxpayer to include such a difference in the expenses for tax purposes at the time of the termination of the obligation.

Regulation of FAS Moscow District on 20.12.2012, № A41-17872/11
The Regulation of FAS Moscow District on 20.12.2012, № A41-17872/11 noted that the effect of tax on early payment of VAT to the absence of reason, and the lack of evidence of such advances in previous tax periods demonstrates his dishonesty.
In the present case, the organization quickly transferred to the budget of the VAT, but it was done before the end of the relevant tax period. In addition, over time, the bank, which was conducted through the controversial payment, had its license revoked, and the money in the budget has not been received. Tax Authority refused to recognize the duty of the organization fulfilled.
The judges acknowledged that, under paragraph 1 of Article 45 of the Tax Code, the taxpayer has the right to advance to fulfill the obligation to pay tax.

Judgment of 26.11.2012, № VAS-16165/12
In the Judgment of 26.11.2012, № VAS-16165/12 unfounded claims of the Pension Fund on additional contributions in the amount of the cost of the celebrations.
According to the materials of the case, experts FIU decided that society understated the base for the calculation of insurance premiums in the amount of payment for the organization and conduct of a corporate holiday. Accordingly, the personal information provided by the company for the period in respect of the insured persons were regarded as unreliable in terms of the amount of income received and accrued premiums.
Courts of first instance and appeal concluded that lack of legal grounds Pension accrual for public insurance premiums, fines and application of justice. The reason is that the cost to the organization of corporate events are not the benefit that form to be determined by material gain at any particular individuals.
In the appeal, it was noted that the festivities were organized for the whole team (outside of any connection with the performance of the employees job duties) and by invitation. So, the fact that participation in these activities is not a sign of public employees pay incentive compensation or compensatory nature. So in this case you can not apply the provisions of Article 7 of the Law of July 24, 2009 № 212-FZ, according to which the object of taxation of pension contributions are, in particular, benefits and other remuneration, including "natural", produced as part of employment relations.

For its part, the judge pointed out that the use of the company reduced prices for transactions with related party led to an underestimation of the base for income tax and value added tax. Since these actions constitute an offense, the responsibility for which is set by paragraph 1 of Article 122 of the Code, then the tax authorities had reason to write the offender a fine.

As follows from the case, the tax inspectors in a given situation refused to reimburse VAT. They explained their decision by the fact that the full set of documents provided for in Article 165 of the Tax Code, the assembled company after changing over to USN. Therefore, the VAT base was set at a time when the company has not payers of this tax. Why, and the reasons for the application of the zero rate of VAT in this case.

The point is this. The organization had an overpayment of income tax, since the emergence of a more than three years.

Ruling from 29.11.2012, № 13 840 BAC
26 december
Ruling from 29.11.2012, № 13840 BAC Letter, the Ministry of Finance on 04.04.2012 № 03-03-10/34 (taxation of dividends for prior periods) ruled that the Tax Code. This means that if the organization is no net profit for 2010, it does not mean that the dividends paid out of retained earnings of previous years, subject to an income tax rate of 20 percent.
On 01.01.2011, paragraph 3 of Article 284 of the Tax Law of the act of December 27, 2009 № 368-FZ. Under the new rules for the application of the zero rate of income tax in respect of dividends paid must be followed from three to two conditions — the size and term of the share ownership. The demand on the value of the contribution (not less than 500 million rubles.) Were excluded. In this case, these rules apply to the relations between the taxation of dividends for the organization's performance in 2010 and beyond.
The Finance Ministry of the Russian Federation believed that the organization, which in the absence of the net profit for 2010 be paid to shareholders in 2011, dividends from retained earnings of previous years, there is no basis for applying the tax rate is 0 percent of such proceeds. Moreover, the Finance Ministry recommended to levy such dividends at the rate of 20 percent.
The representatives of SAC indicated that changes made to the Code of the Law № 358, aimed at improving the situation of taxpayers. Because now for the application of the zero rate of income tax should be observed from three to two conditions. In addition, the nature of its economic net income and retained earnings are identical. This eliminates the different tax treatment depending on the period for which the company makes a decision about the direction of the profits to pay dividends.
Thus, the SAC concluded that the interpretation of the Ministry of Finance admitted the contested letter, leading to the formation of new rules of taxation with respect to dividends and changes the procedure for calculating the tax on the distribution of profits earned before 2010, contrary to the provisions of paragraph 3 of Article 284 of the Tax Code and paragraph 2 of Article 5 of the Law № Z68-FL.

The conclusions of the Presidium
19 december
The Presidium of the proceedings number A40-69427/11-140-302 Moscow Arbitration Court has come to the conclusion that if the results of a desk audit by tax authorities determine that the VAT in the application procedure was improperly reimbursed, in addition to the amount of tax that is transferred the budget will have to be listed and interest for the use of budget funds. And those are awarded regardless of whether the taxpayer had overpaid VAT or not.
In the present case the courts of three instances sided with the tax office. They argued that the charging of interest under paragraph 17 of Article 176.1 of the Tax Code, is due to the fact of using taxpayer budget. Links society lack the budget in case of financial loss due to the presence of the overpayment, according to the arbitrators have no legal significance for the proper resolution of this dispute. Since, the accrual of interest due to the possibility of temporary use of illegally obtained budgets.
YOU judge in Determination 28.08.2012, № VAS-9334/12 noted that on the issue in the arbitration practice is not uniform. Thus, FAS North Caucasus region in its decision of 27.12.2011 in case number A32-1953/2011 made different conclusions. The judges found that the use of declaratory order tax compensation is designed to stimulate the honest taxpayer legislator and responsible approach to the calculation of the amount of VAT to be recovered in a declarative manner. Therefore, the presence of his overpaid tax in the budget for the period of use of budgetary funds has legal significance. After all, there is one is not causing financial loss on the side of the budget, and therefore the interest on wrongfully reimbursed VAT in this case can not be assessed.
However, despite the above definition of the Presidium upheld all verdicts handed down in favor of the tax authority.

As follows from the case, the company has submitted to the tax office updated the VAT return for the five tax periods at a time. In total claimed deductions exceed the tax payable calculated. However, the tax authorities started making desk audits in reverse chronological order. In the last tax declaration on chronology was declared payable.

The court, in turn, referred to the position of the EAC, as set out in its decision of 19.01.2010, № 11822/09. B, which states that the amount of VAT claimed organization a tax deduction can be offset only by the inspection results of the desk audit specified declarations by residues. Date for the revision of three months from the date of submission of returns. Moreover, from the tax legislation does not follow the duty of the tax authority to simultaneously desk audits specified declarations for different tax years, even if they are present at one and the same time. On account of the arrears may only set off the overpayment established at the time of detection of the debt.
The court noted that the grounds for exemption from the tax liability of the taxpayer for verification of changes made to them in a tax return, established by Article 81 of the Tax Code. However, the rules of the rule does not provide for the possibility of liberation from the use of tax liability in case of submission of a revised declaration after identifying the inspection tax offense.

The central issue is this. Company out of court appealed the tax authority, stemming from the on-site inspection. To this end, the lawyer was involved. Amount of remuneration paid to him company considered it a loss that can be attributed to the increase in expenses for income tax purposes.
However, the judge in the case sided with the tax authority. They recalled that according to paragraph 1 of Article 103 of the Tax Code during the tax audit is not permitted causing undue harm to the audited entities, their representatives or to property in their possession, use or disposal. The tax authorities are responsible for the damages caused by the payers result of unlawful actions. Such damages are recoverable in full, including, including lost profits (item 2. 103 TC). At the same time, if the losses are caused by lawful actions, then they will not be refundable, except as provided by federal law.

Resolution of the Federal District Urals on 25 .10.2012, № F09-9739/12
7 december
The Regulation of FAS Ural District 25 .10.2012, № F09-9739/12 noted that the fact that the employee has worked in the organization before going on leave to care for a child for a short time, is not a ground for refusing the FSS in reimbursement payment of her benefits for pregnancy and childbirth.
As follows from the case, on the basis of a desk audit by representatives of FSS recorded facts undue submission for reimbursement from the fund expenditures made in violation of the law. Representatives of the Social Insurance Fund decided that the Organization entered into with the employee fictitious employment contracts with the sole purpose to get money from the FSS.

The court noted that the fact that real labor relations between the company and the persons who held the post procurement manager and chief accountant, on the basis of labor contracts confirmed the case. The Court found that this wage working women made in accordance with labor contracts and staffing, and the facts insured accidents FSS specialists are not in dispute. In this case, bad faith society, the direction of his actions to receive unjustified tax benefit the Foundation for Social Security is not proven. Meanwhile, on the basis of subparagraph 3 of paragraph 1 of Article 11 of the Act of July 16, 1999 № 165-FZ, insurers have the right not to offset the cost of mandatory social insurance only if they are made in violation of any laws.

Regulation of FAS Moscow District on 05.10.2012, № A40-132828/10-90-761
5 december
The Regulation of FAS Moscow District on 05.10.2012, № A40-132828/10-90-761 noted that if the account of the organization received funds, that's no reason to include them in the base of income tax.
As follows from the case, on the basis of re-site inspection company tax charged in understating the tax base for unaccounted income and he assessed additional income tax, penalties and the amount of fines. Inspectors referred to the provisions of paragraph 8 of Article 250 of the Tax Code. Under this regulation shall be income Non-operating income in the form of donated property received (works, services), except as provided in Article 251 of the Code. Since the taxpayer has not submitted at the request of the inspection documents justifying the legitimacy of the non-inclusion of the amounts in the tax base, tax authorities regarded them as free of income received.
In turn, the Court rejected the argument of the tax, noting that the prosecution has the character of their assumptions. The Court pointed out that, in accordance with paragraph 2 of Article 248 of the Code in order to calculate income tax assets (works, services) or property rights are deemed to be received free of charge, if they are receiving is not associated with the occurrence of the recipient's obligation to transfer the property (property rights) to the transferor ( perform for the transferor work have transferor services). The mere existence of a payment document by which the taxpayer to transfer funds in the absence of other evidence, no evidence of income. After all, money can be transferred on different grounds. In the case there are no documents showing the grounds on which the payment is made. Thus, the tax authority has not proved and the Court found that to the account of the taxpayer funds are the proceeds from the sale of goods, services, or non-operating income, in particular, the acquisition of property without compensation. So, and additional taxes on income in the same situation is unfounded.

And in this case, the organization decided to get out of the budget for the 35 days before the end of the tax period, after which determined the amount of tax to be paid, and for the 4 months prior to the date of payment thereof. Inspectors felt that such actions are not typical of normal business activity.
In turn, the judge recognized that, under paragraph 3 of Article 45 of the Tax Code of the availability of sufficient cash balance in the account of the taxpayer on the date of the payment order to the bank for the transfer tax is the basis for recognition of duties performed. Meanwhile, as indicated by the arbitrators, the rule applies to the circumstances characterizing the integrity of the taxpayer for the transfer tax. Including whether the presence of the very obligation to pay tax. And that is what the company and was not in at the time the bank tax "payment obligation." So that tax authorities had reason to doubt the good faith of the taxpayer. That is, early transfer of the tax can be quite a sufficient basis for the recognition of the tax obligations are not fulfilled.

Tax arguments that were the reason for denial of the application of the tax credit, including the improper execution of the invoice by the Court declared invalid. Since the Company is not a person, putting the invoice, and therefore can not be responsible for its lack of information about the country of origin and number of the customs declaration.
Resolution of the Presidium of the July 17, 2012 № 1098/12
21 november
Principal shall not apply the "vmenenku" if he would send goods to the retail trade in the commission. The conclusion reached by the Presidium of the recently released its decision of July 17, 2012 № 1098/12.
It is noteworthy that the courts of appeal and cassation courts sided with the taxpayer. They decided that the transfer of entrepreneurs using "imputed" special regime, goods for implementation of the commission does not create objects of taxation "general" taxes. Indeed, in the final analysis, a merchant receives revenue from the sale of goods to retail customers through the store. Simply he does it with the mediation commission.
The Presidium of such an approach is not agreed, pointing out that according to paragraph 12 of Article 346.27 of the Tax Code by retailers understood entrepreneurial activity related to trade in goods on the basis of the retail sale.
At the same time, in accordance with Article 990 of the Civil Code on a commission basis, a party (the commission) shall at the request of the other party (the principal) for a fee to make one or more transactions in his own name, but by the principal. Such transactions committed by the commission, are operations for retail sale of goods. In turn, paragraph 1 of Article 492 CC is determined that the contract of sale retail seller engaged in business of selling goods at retail, shall transfer to the buyer the goods intended for personal, family, household or other uses not related to business.
Presidium has said that the commission consignor transmission products, for their further implementation in retailing itself does not enter into a legal relationship with the buyers, that is, sales contracts with them, he does not enter. So, in this case the principal shall not be eligible to apply special tax treatment in the form of imputed income from such business. As a result, the Presidium has decided to refer the case for a new trial.
Regulation of FAS Moscow District on 12.09.2012, № A40-12138/12-99-60
16 november
The Regulation of FAS Moscow District on 12.09.2012, № A40-12138/12-99-60 concluded that in some cases the deduction of VAT on advance payments could exceed the amount of tax assessed in implementation. And yet, this fact is no violation of tax laws are not violated.
According to the case file: Society with the prepayment of VAT payment on the estimated rate of 18/118. However, the tax authorities refused to reimburse this amount of tax on the grounds that the relevant invoices do not meet the requirements of Article 169 of the Tax Code. Say, if you receive payment, partial payment for the future delivery of goods incorrectly applied the tax rate of 18 percent instead of 10 percent. So the "subtract" the 18 percent - is unlawful.
For its part, the Court found that the payment of the VAT has been calculated in an oversized tax rate instead of 18 percent to be applied rate of 10 percent. After the shipment of goods to the counterparty of the Company in accordance with paragraph 8 of Article 171, paragraph 6 of Article 172 of the Tax Code has filed to deduct such amounts of taxes, and also estimated tax payable to the budget, the appropriate rate of 10 percent. That, in the opinion of the arbitrators is sufficient to apply the "advance" a deduction of VAT in full. The arguments of the tax authority of non-compliance invoices requirements of Article 169 of the Tax Court of the Russian Federation has not taken into account, explaining it by the fact that the provisions of paragraph 5 of Article 169 of the Code in this case, the application can not be, as extends to the invoice of the seller in sale of goods (works, services). Controversial as invoices made out by the taxpayer in obtaining payment, partial payment for the future delivery of goods. In this case, the tax has been calculated by the taxpayer in an oversized, that does not prevent the state and the residue at the same rate.
The court noted that the recalculation of the amount of tax deduction based on the tax rate of 10 percent, the tax should have been counted and the amount calculated by the applicant to prior payment of tax payable to the budget. A simultaneous decrease in the size of the deduction and the tax assessed by the same amount excludes the assessed taxes. Thus, the refusal to refund the VAT tax and additional taxes were found to be unlawful.
Resolution of the Presidium of 11.09.2012, № 4357/12
14 november
Presidium in its Resolution of 11.092012, № 4357/12, issued on the case number A27-2997/2011 Arbitration Court of the Kemerovo region, decided that a one-day trip with daily employee is not subject to personal income tax.
According to the case file, the tax office assessed additional income tax to society, citing the fact that the employer is not the statutory obligation to pay its employees at the direction of their day-to-day business trip, where every assignment is able to return to their place of permanent residence. In this regard, the provision of paragraph 3 of Article 217 of the Tax Code in respect of amounts paid do not apply, and they are subject to personal income tax.
The trial court sided with the taxpayer. However, the courts of appeal and cassation acknowledged the correctness of tax.
In turn, the Presidium supported the decision of the court is the first instance. YOU agreed that the disputed payments, bearing compensatory made in the prescribed amount, can not be considered income (economic benefits) of the taxpayer - the employee. In this regard, they are not subject to personal income tax. Since the direction of employees on official business at the initiative of the employer and in his interest, and, therefore, per diem payment is in the interest of the employer, not the employee.
Resolution of the Federal District of the North-West of the August 30, 2012 № A52-4152/2011
9 november
The Regulation of FAS Northwestern District on August 30, 2012 № A52-4152/2011 determined that the tax law is established that for the provision of the right to deduct VAT on advance payments, you must have an invoice for pre-payment, the documents confirming its actual transfer and the contract, which includes a provision making the advance. In this case, the right to use the advance VAT deduction does not depend on the delivery schedule
As follows from the case, the fiscal authorities had no claims to registration of invoices, offered for the advance. The fact of transfer policies as well as the presence of the contract on the implementation of customer prepayment tax inspectors denied. However, they had a claim of some kind.
However, the tax inspectors felt that deduction of VAT due on payment could be claimed by a company only to them within the agreed supplier of supply for the I quarter and April 2011. The court took this argument, because the inspectors did not consider that the transaction between the parties had entered into an additional agreement that provides for a pre-payment by the buyer regardless of the value of the consignment, the harmonization of prices, volumes and delivery schedule. That is, at the time of the business transactions in the contractual obligations of the parties there was no size restriction produced payment. This was done in order to secure a lower price for the goods, the delivery of which will be implemented in the future.
The court stated that the taxpayer to the tax authority of all duly executed documents, the legislation on taxes and fees, in order to obtain the tax benefit is the basis for its production (paragraph 1 of the Resolution of the Plenum of October 12, 2006, № 53). Tax inspectors were not able to prove that, for tax purposes, the Company has reflected in the tax accounting operations are in line with their true economic sense. Also, the inspectors were not able to prove the bad faith of the companies and taking actions aimed at obtaining undue tax benefit. Accordingly, the decision of the Tax Inspectorate to refuse the application of VAT deduction on the advance, can not be considered legitimate.

2 november
Interest for installment payment of municipal property is not included in the basis of the VAT. This conclusion follows from the decision of FAS Volga region from August 7, 2012 № A12-542/2012.
The central issue is this. As a result of a desk audit of the VAT return tax inspection found that the employer unreasonably failed to include the tax base interest paid to the seller when buying on credit property located in the municipal treasury. According to the tax inspectors, percentage increase the base for VAT under subparagraph 2 of paragraph 1 of Article 162 of the Tax Code, as they are the amounts related to the payment of the said property.
For its part, the Court recalled that, in accordance with paragraph 2 of paragraph 3 of Article 161 of the Tax Code in this case, the tax base is defined as the sum of income from the sale (transfer) of the property subject to tax. In this case, the tax agents shall buyer (receiver) of the assets, except for individuals who are not individual entrepreneurs. Accordingly, at the buyer's responsibility to calculate the design method, to deduct from the income paid and pay to the budget the appropriate amount of tax. What exactly are the amounts in income from the sale (transfer) of the property included in the determination of the tax base for VAT, this regulation does not say.
Meanwhile, from the analysis of Article 823 of the Civil Code and Article 153 of the Tax Code, according to the Court, that the disputed interest is the price for a commercial loan, and not the sale of property. In this regard, they are non-operating income and are not subject to VAT.

As follows from the case, during the tax audit, the tax inspection took off costs incurred by the company as part of the outsourcing agreement. Accrual of income tax auditors substantiated as follows. They found out that the company is "leased" employees in an interdependent with her society, which, in addition, though, is using the "simplified taxation." According to the tax authorities, in this situation it is clear that the outsourcing agreement is concluded with a single purpose - to get an unjustified tax benefit.
However, the judge, on the other hand, the actions of the taxpayer did not find the offense alleged against him. They found that the involvement of experts took place as part of the disputed contract outsourcing on the basis of specific monthly orders generated by the applicant. Application contained a reference to the organization's needs in certain specialists, indicating the positions, specialties, cost of service and pay, start date, end time, and with the passage of time and the specific employee names. To independently selecting such specialists society had no option because the state simply did not have the personnel officer. And after visiting the staffing of such a position, the duties of the employed personnel officers included only clearance of personnel files of employees.
At the same time, thanks to the outsourcing agreement Company increased direct sales of products sold as "leased" workers organized its promotion in the domestic market. For the Court, this indicates that for tax purposes the organization considered the operation in accordance with their actual economic sense due to reasonable economic or other reasons (objectives business nature). In addition, the Court stated that the fact that the relationship between individuals is established to determine the correctness of the prices of the deals. However, complaints about pricing in tax is just something not there.

It is more appropriate to apply subparagraph 26 of paragraph 1 of Article 264 of the Tax Code. This provision established that the costs associated with the acquisition of the right to use computer software and databases on contracts with copyright holders, are the other costs associated with the production and sale.

Fixed assets, which the organization operates around the clock, you can amortize using a multiplying factor of "2". This was indicated FAS Moscow District in its decision of 7 August 2012 № A40-105313/11-140-440. As follows from the case, the fiscal authorities of the assessed additional income taxes and the amount of the sanctions. The reason was the fact that the order violated the application of Article 259 (Art. 259.3) of the Tax Code. It is amortized on an accelerated basis, plant and equipment that do not work in a high number of shifts, and a continuous clock function. Representatives of the fiscal authorities also referred to the fact that according to documentation provided by equipment manufacturers, these objects are designed for around the clock operation. So, round the clock for these assets is normal.
The judges noted that the tax code does not decrypt the term "increased shift." Therefore, the provisions of paragraph 1 of Article 11 of the Code, the judge turned to the core articles of the Labour Code. And according to the rules of Articles 91, 103 TCs, if the production process the company goes beyond 40 hours a week, then it is entered shift work. In this work one shift - 8 hours a day with a 5-day work week - is normal, and two or more shift work is a work in high shifts. Respectively, to work in a high-clock work shifts is.
The judges acknowledged that the concept of "conditions increased shift" is used in the Tax Code of the Russian Federation for the purposes of the special factor to the depreciation rate, while the subject of regulation of labor law is the relationship between employer and employee, folding over the establishment of working conditions of labor disputes, employee participation in production management, etc. However, the company as a production unit and the property complex can not function on their own, out of the will and participation of people - employees. Labor function of each employee connected with the operation of the equipment, and even staff not directly located in the premises (meaning leadership, administrative positions), are involved in the production process - control, control capacity. In this case, as the explanation of, the controversial equipment directly controlled by its employees. The presence of these circumstances, the Court concluded that the non-stop operation of the above equipment leads him to increased wear. Therefore, the fiscal authorities of unlawfully assessed additional income taxes.

According to paragraph 6 of Article 169 of the Tax Code of the invoice signed by the director and the chief accountant of the organization or other person authorized by the order (other administrative document) on the organization or attorney on behalf of the organization. When invoicing document is signed by the individual entrepreneur SP with details of the certificate of state registration.

And paragraph 3 of Article 29 of the Code of the authorized representative of the taxpayer - natural persons shall exercise its powers on the basis of a notarized power of attorney or power of attorney, equated notarized in accordance with the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. However, in accordance with Article 185 of the Civil Code recognizes the power of attorney written authorization issued by one person to another person to represent to third parties. The written authorization of the transaction can be represented by the representative submitted directly to the third party. Thus, the judge concluded that the trustee has the right IP to sign invoices.

1 august
Subject to the statutory requirements of the taxpayer, in the presence of real operations for the acquisition of goods (works, services), it can not be denied the right to deduct VAT. This was indicated FAS West Siberian District in its decision of 7 June 2012 in case number A75-11988/2010. This case is interesting in that it judges sided with the tax authority, which rejected the company to deduct the VAT claimed on subcontracting. Moreover, the tax authorities failed to prove to the Court that no work on the fact was not and could not be. The fact that the counterparty of the Company, which was responsible for the execution of controversial works, no fixed assets, including vehicles and personnel. And its core activity is trading. One would assume that the works he drew "third parties." By the way, most of the funds received for their execution, transfer to the account of a Company that would confirm this assumption. However, this money is then "sprayed" on Retail accounts. In this case, the inspection found no evidence the transfer of funds for fuel, subcontractor, or lease motor vehicles. But the clincher was such that the disputed work allegedly performed on a secure site. In this case, the workers were ordered not pass, without which the territory of the object is not to get into. The taxpayer could not challenge these arguments and the Court sided with the tax authorities, having decided that the company is not reasonably applied the multi-million dollar deduction of VAT.

Tax shall not be entitled to charge interest on the amount of personal income, time not listed by the tax agent, for the reason that his accounts of the inspection itself, and also blocked. By the conclusion reached in the Presidium of the case number A56-19155/2010. "Troika" of judges in determining the EAC on March 15, 2012 № VAS-17259/11 "to the nines," the cloak of his subordinate colleagues solutions. "Higher," the judge noted that the provisions of paragraph 2 of paragraph 3 of Article 75 of the Tax Code that fines are not charged on the amount of arrears, which the taxpayer could not pay due to the fact that under the decision of the tax authority or the court had suspended the operation of the taxpayer at a bank or seized on his property. In this case, paragraph 7 of Article 75 of the Code is established that the rules provided in this Article shall also apply to tax agents. It seems very strange position of the tax. What could be the penalties if the tax should be deducted from the salary, which the company does not issue because of its expense arrested? In the opinion of EAC can not be considered reasonable charge penalty interest on arrears of income tax for the period preceding the tax audit. Comparing the provisions of Articles 46 and 75 of the Code, the judge concluded that the payment of fines should be considered as an additional duty of a taxpayer other than the obligation to pay the tax. It is performed either simultaneously with the payment of tax, or later, but not before. In other words, the performance of the obligation to pay fines can not be considered in isolation from the obligation to pay the tax. Therefore, after the expiration of the term debt collection preclusive tax penalties can no longer serve as a way to ensure the fulfillment of the obligation to pay the tax. And because they tax charge is not entitled to. The Presidium is fully supported the position of the "troika".

Organizations and individual entrepreneurs are entitled to exemption from VAT if within three months the amount of revenue from the sale of goods (works, services), excluding tax shall not exceed a total of two million rubles.

In that order insisted tax, but they do not agree to a judge. An example of this - the decision of the Moscow District of the Federal Antimonopoly Service May 25, 2012 № A40-74770/11-129-317. As follows from the case, the society entered into a lease of nonresidential premises for a period of 7 years.

Late submission of documents claimed by the tax punishable by a fine under Article 126 of the Tax Code. However, in some cases, the judge can reduce it significantly. An example of this - the decision of the Central District of the Federal Antimonopoly Service May 21, 2012 № A48-3647/2011.

As a result, fiscal authorities have written to society a fine of 144,000 rubles. In this case tax inspectors have taken into account as an aggravating responsibility of the fact that in 2011 the company already was involved in a similar responsibility. In this regard, the size of the sanctions has been increased by 100%. Meanwhile, the judge in this case found the circumstances mitigating liability of the taxpayer. The court took into consideration the following facts: a minor omission period (eight days); understaffing shots - in the accounting department lacked the staff, chief accountant of the disease, which is involved in the preparation of documents for the tax office, and in parallel - Preparation of tax, accounting and statistical reporting.

If the employee is unable to return to work due to lack of train tickets at the box office, it must be reserved by documents attesting to the fact that they do not. In addition, it is necessary to prove that the other mode of transport in time to get to the place of service is also not possible. With these documents the employer will not be able to fire an employee for absenteeism under sub-"a" of paragraph 6 of Article 81 of the Labour Code. This was pointed out the Supreme Court in its decision of March 30, 2012 № 69-B12-1.
The judges appealed to the provisions of the Resolution of the Plenum of the Sun March 17, 2004 № 2. In paragraphs 38 and 39 of this document states that in considering the case for reinstatement persons dismissed under paragraph 6 of Section 81 of the Code, the employer must present evidence showing that the employee has committed gross violations of one of the job duties specified in this point. It should be borne in mind that the list of gross violations of work duties, which gives grounds for termination of employment with the employee for this article is exhaustive and is not subject to broad interpretation. Moreover, dismissal on such grounds as truancy, in particular, can be made for absence from work without valid reason, ie, absence from work during the working day (shift), regardless of the length of the working day (shift).
In the present case, the plaintiff applied for summary punishment of dismissal, according to the judges, it disproportionately committed a misdemeanor. The employee warned the employer about the problem and even sent to fax the statement to be granted two days off (one - at his own expense). The decision of the judges affected the same way and that before an employee is not subject to disciplinary liability.
As a result, the employer who fired the employee regardless of the reasons that it failed to promptly begin to fulfill their job duties, it is necessary not only to restore it to work, but also to pay her salary for the period of enforced idleness.

Details of the payment order on the invoice to the down payment.
The invoice, drawn up on advances, there is no number of the payment order. This means that a violation of paragraph 5.1 of Article 169 of the Tax Code, is obvious. Consequently, it is impossible to apply the deduction of VAT? However, this conclusion did not agree to the arbitrators in the judgment of the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the Moscow District 13.03.2012, № A40-49801/11-91-213.

The arbitrators pointed out that the denial of tax deduction for the VAT to the seller of goods (works, services), they calculated the amounts of payment, partial payment received for future delivery of goods, this provision is not provided.
The court found that during the desk audit company submitted invoices, statements of cash received and the products shipped, a certificate on the amounts of VAT, calculated from the amount of prepayment, etc. The data from these documents are quite allow us to compare the period of accrual of the tax with the period of shipment and appropriate amounts of tax to deduct. A reference to the failure of the inspection payment documents rejected by the courts as untenable, not based on the provisions of Article 172 of the Tax Code.

Ruling on February 7, 2012 № VAS-835/12 in case number A74-3314/2010
5 march

And this may be an additional proof that the controversial delivery did not commit, which will inevitably lead to a denial of the application of the deduction of VAT.

Determination of the Supreme Court on January 13, 2012 № 74-B11-11
2 мarch
In the event that a dispute with an employee on the legality of his dismissal came before the court and the employer is willing to voluntarily restore the employee at work, in which case the cancellation of the order of dismissal does not help to avoid a trial. The same is reflected in the determination of the Supreme Court on January 13, 2012 № 74-B11-11. p>
As follows from the case, the citizen was fired for absenteeism under subparagraph "a" of paragraph 6 of Article 81 of the Labour Code. However, he found that the dismissal was carried out unlawfully and in breach of the order. The trial court sided with him, noting that the defendant in accordance with Article 56 of the Code of Civil Procedure is not proven that the plaintiff committed a disciplinary offense in the form of absenteeism. The organization decided to cancel the order for dismissal. "The victim" was reinstated in his job, and he was even paid the salary for the period of enforced idleness. p>
In such a situation, in theory, and the subject of the dispute is absent, and hence the claim for reinstatement can not be satisfied. However, the Supreme Court noted the following points, which missed the lower courts. Once the employer has issued an order to dismiss the employee, the employment relationship between the parties to an employment contract was terminated. In this regard, the employer had no right to perform legal actions arising from the terminated employment contract unilaterally, without the prior consent of the employee to restore these relations. This means that the actions of the employer to unilaterally reducing the employment relationship with an employee by abolishing the order of dismissal, legal do not matter. Consequently, the grounds for denial of the claim, they can not be found. p>
Court in this case, the employee is obliged to consider the claims on the merits and render a decision, which shall be assessed the legality of the employer at the time of termination of employment.
In such cases, litigation can be avoided only if the employee agrees with the actions of the employer, which reversed its decision to dismiss. However, in the present case, this did not happen - the plaintiff refused to meet with an order to cancel his dismissal and was determined to defend their interests in court.

27 February
Social Insurance Fund may not review a decision of the employer on behalf of the Commission on Recognition of social insurance valid reason of absence of the employee at the check-up.

Others, however, noted that the definition of good cause violations of hospital treatment or to appear at the appointed time on the medical examination and, therefore, there are grounds to reduce the size of the temporary disability benefits, the administration is the responsibility of the employer. Therefore, the Fund on its own initiative may not review a decision of a special commission created by the company in accordance with the law.
The fact that the content of paragraph 2 of Part 1 of Article 8 of the Law № 255-FZ, it follows that the absence of the insured person's medical examination serves as a basis for reducing the amount of benefit only if the reasons for this absence are not respectful. However, a note in the "sick" about the violation of the regime itself is not evidence of absence of good cause, "truancy».
Meanwhile, Article 11 of the FSS, approved by the Government on February 12, 1994 № 101, provides that in order to ensure control over the correct calculation and timely payment of sotsposoby enterprises regardless of their ownership by labor collectives are formed Commission on Social Security .

In Resolution of FAC, District of Moscow (case, dated 8/10/2010 № A40-156412/09-126-1263) is noticed that item 1 of item 172 Tax Code the Russian Federation specifies only in the right of the taxpayer to show to a deduction in full the sums of the tax to the value added, paid to suppliers. Thus, the Code doesn't contain a prohibition on a presentation to a deduction of such sums outside of the tax period in which there was such right. Thus, declared by the taxpayer to the VAT deduction during later periods, than during the period in which there was a right to the tax deduction, doesn't break rates of the legislation on taxes and tax collections and doesn't lead to indebtedness origin before the budget as VAT non-payment in later periods is compensated by an overpayment of the same tax in the previous tax periods, owing to deduction non-use.

Resolution of FAC, District of Moscow (case dated 31.08.2010 № A40-156204/09-33-1239) has recognized arguments of Tax Department illegitimate with regards to the issue that an independently composed way bill does not contain requisites regarding vehicle itinerary of travel, which does not serve as evidence that the vehicle was used in business purposes, that such requisites are compulsory and reflect the content of economic transaction, and they are not acceptable due to the following reasons. Taxpayer is not regarded as a specialized auto transport company and does not provide transport services for third party companies. Forms of way bill, verified by the Resolution of RSSC of the Russian Federation, as of 28.11.1997 № 78, referred to by the Tax Department, are applied on compulsory basis by specialized auto transport organizations. Other organizations may develop their own form of way bill or another document that would confirm amounts spent on fuel. The case material concludes that the company order validates the form of way bill for a car. Pursuant to the order, vehicles should be used exclusively in business purposes. Monthly way bills, registered according to an independently developed form, contain all necessary requisites, stipulated by Federal law "On accounting", as well as data allowing to determine the volume of petrol that has been used: remainder of petrol at the time of departure, remainder of petrol at the time of entry, petrol refill and vehicle's mileage according to speedometer. The court has established that with regards to the issue being disputed, the tax authority has not provided sufficient evidence for respective motives of its decision to reduce the base of taxable income.

In compliance with accounting policy for taxation, if there are any recalculations or reconciliations conducted in the following periods, then with regards to the corrected amounts, the time of costs recognition, in taxation purposes, should be a fixed date of documents provision in a society. Respectively, this should be the date of bilateral signing of an act. Therefore, assignation of costs in the taxation period, where the society received relative documents is lawful.

Resolution of FAC, District of Moscow (case dated 30.08.2010 № A40-96192/09-112-702), brings to notice, that pursuant to sp. 13 p 1 article 265 TC RF, non operational expenses include the costs in form of fines recognized by the debtor, penalties and (or other) sanctions for violation of contractual or loan liabilities. The specified norm does not associate the right of taxpayer to assign penalties and fines to non operational costs with a compulsory presence of a contractual statute to pay them in the event of violation of contract liabilities, but rather associates them with the fact of debtor's recognition of them. In present case, society's recognition of penalty sanctions has been confirmed by dual reconciliation act of accounts.

2 November
Resolution of FAC, District of Moscow, (case dated 20.08.2010 № 40-98565/09-76-675) brings to notice, that statutes of the article 169 TC RF do not contain requirements to provide a specific supplier's address. It may be either legal or actual address. In the event, if supplier specifies incorrect address in an invoice, it should not serve as a basis for refusal of tax deductions, since there is no such correlation stipulated by tax regulations. Besides, responsibility for correct fill-in of invoices lays on supplier of goods (works, services). Therefore, a buyer who received a valid invoice, in terms of requirements specified in p.5 article 169 TC RF, from supplier, has a right to declare a tax deduction for the amount specified in the invoice.

Resolution of SAC Presidium of the Russian Federation, as of 06.07.2010 № 2604/10 states, that the restrictions for the use of VAT deductions are stipulated on in t. 1 p. 7, article 171 TC of the Russian Federation which only mentions business trip costs and representative costs. Based on systematic interpretation of p. 7 article 171 TC RF and ch. 25 TC RF, there is an ongoing dispute with regards to establishing normative rules for VAT deduction only in relation to the specified costs. It is illegitimate to assign p. 7 article 171 TC of the Russian Federation with significance of a separate standard and extend the right of standardization to all types of costs which, pursuant to ch. 25, TC RF have to be calculated based on established standards.

As a result of this, taxpayers, for the purpose of confirming economic legitimacy of costs, may use any available organizational/management document that would verify the purpose of incurring specified costs.

The fact of infringement by the counterpart of the tax bearer of the tax duties in itself isn't the proof of reception by the tax bearer of unreasonable tax benefit.

In Resolution FAC of the Moscow district (28/07/2010 № A40-70460/09-111-438) recognized as lawful solution to the tax authority of the inclusion of the non-operating expenses of interest on debt, because the tax authority legitimately calculated maximum amount of interest to be expensed under Art. 269 of the Tax Code, and the taxpayer has no reason to attribute part of the cost of interest accrued in excess of amounts recognized as an expense for tax purposes. In violation of the requirements of paragraph 1 of Article 269 of the Tax Code in order for the accounting policy for tax purposes, society can not determine what debt should be considered comparable. In the absence of criteria defined in the accounting policy, the company decided that all credit agreements contain a comparable credit terms.

According to the tenor of position stipulated by Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, and explained in Resolution, as of 24.02.2004 № 3-P, judicial control is not obliged to check economic legitimacy of decisions, made by subjects of commercial activity, that have autonomy and wide discretion.
