Law on cash registers in the year. Online cash registers to be: getting ready for new requirements

Good afternoon, dear IP!

AT recent times I often receive letters with questions about new cash registers, which will be introduced as early as 2017. Let me remind you that they wanted to introduce them back in 2016, but postponed this idea for one year.

So, the hour of X is approaching. And in this short article I will answer the most FAQ, which are distributed over and over again.

For convenience, this article will not be structured as usual, but in the “Question / Answer” format.

When will new cash desks for individual entrepreneurs and companies be introduced?

According to the latest data, the timing of the transition to new online cash desks will be as follows:

1. From February 1, 2017 only a new type of cash registers will be registered. This means that if you apply to register a regular cash register (like those that are used now), you will be refused. That is, from February, you need to come to the Federal Tax Service ONLY with a new type of cash register.

2. If you already have a cash register, then you will need to buy an online cash register (or upgrade the old cash register) no later than July 1, 2017. That is, you will have to shell out money for a new KKM or its modernization, which is sad. considering their cost.

I am a sole proprietor at the ENV (or PSN). Do I need to buy a new type of KKM?

Indeed, now (in 2016) many people choose PSN and UTII only because CCM can NOT be applied to these taxation systems. But this benefit will only remain until July 1st, 2018. Then, individual entrepreneurs on UTII (PSN) will also have to buy KKM if they work with cash. That is, they accept cash from individuals.

Update: for most individual entrepreneurs on PSN or UTII, they were given a delay for another year - until July 1, 2019. You can read about or just watch the new video below:

What are these cash registers? How are they different from normal ones?

Unlike those KKM that are used now, they IMMEDIATELY transfer data via the Internet to the right place =). That is, in the FTS. As you understand, you will also have to organize Internet access for such cash desks.

The so-called “electronic check” will also be recorded, which the buyer will not be able to lose in principle.

What if I live in a remote taiga where there is no Internet access? How then to be?

Do not worry, our deputies have foreseen such a moment. The law clearly states that for places where there is no Internet access, it will still be possible to use cash desks without transferring data to the Federal Tax Service online.

To be honest, I have little idea how such a list can be compiled, but they promise.

Here is what is verbatim said about this in the bill, which was approved in the third reading:

« In areas remote from communication networks determined in accordance with the criteria established by the federal executive body responsible for the development and implementation of public policy and legal regulation in the field of communications, and indicated in the list of areas remote from communication networks approved by the authority state power subject Russian Federation, users can use cash registers in a mode that does not provide for the mandatory transfer of fiscal documents to the tax authorities in electronic form through a fiscal data operator.

That is, it’s just not possible to refuse to use new cash registers in 2017 if your locality is NOT included in this magic list.

What happens if I don't buy a new KKM?

In fact, there are quite severe penalties. Everything has been done so that entrepreneurs massively use the new cash registers.

Again, let me quote an excerpt from the bill, and highlight the main points:

Non-use of control cash register in the cases established by the legislation of the Russian Federation on the use of cash registers -

entails the imposition administrative fine on officials in the amount of one-fourth to one-two of the amount of the amount of the calculation carried out without the use of cash registers, but not less than ten thousand rubles; on the legal entities— from three-fourths to one amount of the amount of the settlement carried out using cash Money and (or) electronic means of payment without the use of cash registers, but not less than thirty thousand rubles.”;

“3. Repeated commission administrative offense provided for by paragraph 2 of this article, if the amount of settlements made without the use of cash registers amounted, including in the aggregate, to one million rubles or more, -

entails in relation to officials disqualification for a period of one to two years; in a relationship individual entrepreneurs and legal entities - administrative suspension of activities for up to ninety days.

4. The use of cash registers that do not meet the established requirements, or the use of cash registers in violation of the procedure for registering cash registers, the procedure, terms and conditions for its re-registration, the procedure and conditions established by the legislation of the Russian Federation on the use of cash registers its application -

shall entail a warning or the imposition of an administrative fine on officials in the amount of one and a half thousand to three thousand roubles; on legal entities - a warning or the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of five thousand to ten thousand rubles.

As you understand, the suspension of the work of any store for 90 days is almost a sentence.

Where can I read this fascinating law in its entirety?

At the time of this writing, it was being approved by the Federation Council. According to the plan, it should be signed by the President of Russia on June 29th.

The bill itself has already been approved in the third reading in the State Duma. So, it is unlikely that he will seriously change.

In short, read here:

http://asozd2.duma.gov.ru/main.nsf/%28SpravkaNew%29?OpenAgent&RN=968690-6&02

It has 130 pages, if anything =)

Full title: “On Amendments to the Federal Law “On the Use of Cash Registers in Cash Payments and (or) Payment Cards” and certain legislative acts

Russian Federation"

What to do? How to be? Where to run?

I advise you to apply in advance to companies that sell cash desks for individual entrepreneurs and serve them. Surely they have long prepared for this global event and have long been in anticipation =)

Moreover, many companies are already using new cash registers, without waiting for 2017.

In a word, think over a strategy for switching to new cash registers IN ADVANCE.

Just look at the publication dates, as a lot has already changed this year. For example, they said earlier that the “old” cash registers could be used for another 7 years, which is no longer relevant.

New one is ready electronic book for taxes and insurance premiums for individual entrepreneurs on the simplified tax system 6% without employees for 2019:

This is an e-book for individual entrepreneurs on the simplified tax system 6% without employees who have NO income in 2019. Written on the basis of numerous questions from individual entrepreneurs who have zero income and do not know how, where and how much to pay taxes and insurance premiums.

From February 1 this year, the Federal Tax Service registers only online cash registers. And from July 1, many entrepreneurs and companies should switch to using online cash registers in settlements, with some exceptions. Read about the changes in cash registers in 2017, the latest news about the transition to online cash registers in this article.

Who is covered by the new requirements?

The scope of application of the new cash registers relates to cash settlements and electronic means of payment. Law No. 290-FZ dated 07/03/2016, which introduced these amendments to the Law on CCP dated 05/22/2003, significantly expands the scope of cash registers, extending it, among other things, to settlements with buyers who are carried out by persons using UTII, patent system, as well as for entrepreneurs and companies that, when providing household services, do without cash registers, writing out BSO.

According to transitional provisions 290th federal law these persons will have to start using online technology from July 1, 2018. Companies and entrepreneurs that do not belong to these persons and do not fall under the exceptions established by law must use online cash registers from July 1, 2017.

The introduction of new cash registers will require appropriate investments from entrepreneurs. According to rough estimates, the costs will amount to about 20 thousand rubles.

This will include expenses:

  • for the purchase or modernization of a cash register (from 12 thousand rubles);
  • for servicing under an agreement with a fiscal operator, through which information about payments made through the cash desk will be received by the Federal Tax Service (from 3 thousand rubles per year).

In addition, costs may apply:

  • for the purchase of an electronic signature (about 2 thousand rubles);
  • to connect to the Internet at the place where the cash register is used;
  • to update the software taking into account the new requirements for the information displayed on receipts (the list of purchased goods, the price, discounts provided for each product should be indicated).

In addition, an annual (for small businesses every three years) replacement of the fiscal drive will be required. Rules for working with new technology it will be necessary to train staff or hire already trained employees.

What is all this for? According to officials, the introduction of online cash desks will help to dramatically increase tax collection. In doing so, they focus on experience. South Korea, where the application of such measures led to an increase in tax revenues to the treasury by 2 times. In addition, officials believe that the use of online cash desks will optimize control over the implementation of payments and reduce the number of business inspections.

Who should not use online cash registers for payments?

There are still exceptions in the law on cash registers in which the use of cash registers is not required. Who is not affected by the KKM changes in 2017? Among the types of activities exempted from KKM, in particular, include:

  • sales of printed publications and related products in newspaper and magazine kiosks;
  • ticket sales in public transport;
  • trading on retail markets, fairs, exhibitions;
  • trade in kiosks with draft soft drinks, ice cream;
  • trade from tanks with kvass, milk, etc.;
  • trade in waddle vegetables and fruits;
  • repair and coloring of footwear;
  • renting out residential premises belonging to entrepreneurs.

There is no need to apply CCP and pharmacies located in rural settlements. Without cash registers, you can work in remote or hard-to-reach areas, the lists of which are determined by the regional authorities. In areas remote from communication, the use of cash registers can be carried out in a mode that allows periodic transmission of settlement data.

Sanctions for violating the new CCP rules

In addition to the rules for using cash registers in 2017, the changes also affected sanctions for violating the established rules. The 290th law amended the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, according to which:

  • for settlements without a cash register of an entrepreneur, an official of the company may be fined ¼ to ½ of the amount of the settlement with a violation, but not less than 10 thousand rubles, and the company itself - ¾ to 1 amount of such a calculation, but not less than 30 thousand . rub. For a repeated violation, disqualification up to 2 years and suspension of activities up to 90 days can be applied;
  • for the use of cash registers in settlements in violation of the established rules, the entrepreneur and the official of the company can be fined 1.5 - 3 thousand rubles, the company - 5 - 10 thousand rubles.

From 2017, entrepreneurs will have to switch to using online cash registers, the relevant law was adopted by the State Duma in June current year. Innovations involve a phased transition, which will facilitate this process for business representatives.

Law passed: online cash desks are mandatory from 2017

Organizations and individual entrepreneurs in 2017 expect the next innovations - the transition to the use of online cash registers. As a result, information on settlements will be transmitted to representatives of the tax authority in in electronic format which will make this process as transparent as possible.

Starting from February next year, the new CCP, which will be registered, should support the new functionality. For those who use old-style cash registers, the transition is allowed until July 1, 2017. In addition, business representatives who this moment exempt from application of CMC(payers of UTII or a patent) will have to register online cash desks no later than July 1, 2018.

The exception will be entrepreneurs in areas where access to the Internet is difficult. Some types of business are also exempted from the use of online cash registers: ticket sales, peddling, sale of magazines and newspapers, etc.

Online cash desks will allow you to simultaneously generate a check in paper and electronic form. This innovation will make the payment document available for viewing in almost any circumstances. Unlike paper form, the electronic copy will last much longer.

The adopted law formulates the basic requirements for the functionality of CCP. Supervisory authorities will carry out an examination of equipment for compliance with the approved requirements, including in terms of the register of fiscal drives.

Benefits of the Parties

The transition to the use of an online cash register from 2017 will reduce the number of field checks, which will be an additional advantage for business representatives. At the moment, information about punched checks is stored on the ECLZ, which change annually. As a result, entrepreneurs will not have to register CCP every year, it will be enough to register a new type of equipment once. Accordingly, for businesses, the number of visits to the tax authority is reduced.

In addition, online cash desks transmit data about a trading operation in real time, which will reduce the number of checks. The tax inspector will have complete information about the operations of each entrepreneur. Also, the Federal Tax Service is launching a program that will analyze all transactions carried out through online cash desks. With the help of this functionality, representatives of the tax authority will identify potential risk areas, which will make it possible to switch to the use of spot checks.

At the same time, representatives of the Federal Tax Service receive information through the operator of fiscal data. Its tasks include assigning a unique number for each check and storing all information on a single server.

To switch to online cash registers, you will need to install a special software, which will transmit data to the fiscal operator. At the same time, business representatives will not need to retrain cashiers, since the process of issuing a check will remain unchanged.

Unpleasant surprises

Among the potential risks, entrepreneurs note possible technical failures that will lead to problems with regulatory authorities. As the experience of large-scale innovations has shown, it will not be possible to completely avoid such situations. In addition, an untimely transition to the use of an online cash desk will lead to significant fines for individual entrepreneurs and companies in 2017.

The level of fines for conducting a transaction without a CCP is increasing. For all business representatives, this amount will be 75-100% of the amount of money received bypassing the CCP. In this case, the minimum amount of the fine will be different:

  1. For employees - 1.5 thousand rubles.
  2. For officials - 10 thousand rubles.
  3. For an organization - 30 thousand rubles.


If a repeated violation was recorded, the tax authority has the right to suspend the company's activities for 90 days. In this case, the official is subject to disqualification for up to 1 year.

In addition, a fine awaits entrepreneurs who do not send an electronic receipt form to the consumer. The list of situations that will lead to such consequences is reflected in the adopted law.

A warning or a fine in the amount of 5-10 thousand rubles. will result in the use of CCP, which does not fully meet the established requirements. In particular, this rule applies to the terms and procedure for registering equipment. In this case, the official expects a fine in the range of 1.5-3 thousand rubles.

Significant fines are provided for fiscal data operators. If the operator's actions do not comply with the current legislation, then this will result in a fine in the amount of 40-50 thousand rubles. for officials and 0.5-1 million rubles. for the intermediary organization itself.

Since 2017, the online cash register has not been used since the absence (including partial) of information on the calculation (sale of goods or services rendered), properly executed. At the same time, the details in the CRE drive are an obligatory component. Also, business representatives are required to timely transfer information to the IFTS.

Operations carried out with the use of payment cards are no exception. In this case, all information must be recorded in the control tape and displayed in the fiscal memory.

Since 2017, entrepreneurs are expected to switch to the use of online cash registers, which is recorded in the law adopted by the State Duma in June of this year. As a result, business representatives will transmit all information about trading operations in real time, and buyers will be able to receive checks in electronic form.

Innovations will reduce the number of business inspections and eliminate the annual re-registration of cash registers. Potential risks of transition to new functionality are technical failures. In addition, legislators have significantly increased the amount of fines.

Online cash register is the household name for cash registers, the new requirements for which were established by the law of 07/03/2016 No. 290-FZ: “cash control equipment - computers, other computer devices and their complexes that provide recording and storage of fiscal data in fiscal drives, generating fiscal documents that ensure the transfer of fiscal documents to the tax authorities through the operator of fiscal data and the printing of fiscal documents on paper in accordance with the rules established by the legislation of the Russian Federation on the application of cash registers.

What are online checkouts for?

The site of the tax department is full of lengthy discussions about the benefits of online cash registers. We agree that for the tax authorities, the widespread introduction of online cash registers is a storehouse of information about taxpayers. And what is the use of businessmen and accountants?

According to the Federal Tax Service, online cash desks will reduce the number of checks cash discipline- they will not come to everyone at random, but only to those who have aroused suspicion, for example, by frequent cancellation of checks or the issuance of a check in excess of 100 thousand rubles. at a time or within a few minutes. So accountants should be more careful about cash payments, so as not to get into the “black list” of inspectors.

The online checkout will help the business owner to control outlets and sales volume - through Personal Area KKT and personal account OFD.

And with a reduction in the cost of ECLZ tapes, the cash register will become cheaper to maintain. In addition, the use of online cash registers allows you to refuse to issue a number of cash documents and registers - read more below.

Online cash desks will help out merchants on the Internet - by law, a check must be issued within 5 minutes after making a purchase. If you have an online store in Moscow, and your buyer is in Murmansk, then either the courier who will bring the goods to the buyer will transfer the check, or the check will have to be punched in advance and put in the parcel - but then the online store will violate the law. With online cash registers, the receipt will be prepared electronically directly on the site and sent to the buyer's email address.

Who and when should switch to online cash registers

Officials have planned a smooth transition to online cash registers. Moreover, those taxpayers who were previously exempted from this need by the law will also have to use the new cash registers.

So, you can switch to online cash registers on your own initiative now - if you have run out of ECLZ of a conventional cash register, then there is no point in installing a new ECLZ - in the middle of 2017, everyone who now uses cash registers should use online cash registers:

Deadline Who should go
01.02.2017 Tax officials stop registering ECLZ at regular checkouts, but they can still be used
31.03.2017 Organizations and individual entrepreneurs selling beer at retail through a store and catering and paying UTII instead of the usual cash registers are required to use online cash registers
01.07.2017 Legal entities and individual entrepreneurs must use online cash registers. Exception: taxpayers for UTII, PSN, providing services to the population
01.07.2018 Vumeneny, individual entrepreneurs on a patent and taxpayers providing services to the population are switching to online cash desks - we talked about the nuances of the transition for them here
01.02.2021 Taxpayers for PSN, USN, UTII must indicate in the check the list of purchased goods and prices

Completely freed from innovations those who provide small household services (babysitters, receiving glass containers), sellers of certain goods (newspapers, ice cream, seasonal vegetables, kvass from tanks) and residents of hard-to-reach regions without the Internet - each subject of the Russian Federation will determine such places independently. Full list those who are released, see paragraph 2 of Art. 2 of Law 54-FZ (as amended on 01/01/2017).

How much does an online checkout cost

You can buy a new cash register, or you can upgrade an existing one - add fiscal accumulator. Specify the cost of upgrading the existing cash desk in the central heating service - for example, the price of updating the Mercury 115K CCP is 12 thousand rubles.

The minimum price of an online cash register is 14 thousand rubles. (Atol 90F), for the installation of a new CTO cash desk they take from 1 thousand rubles. The list of CCPs allowed for use is available on the website of the Federal Tax Service.

If you accept both non-cash and cash payments, then you need an online cash desk with a terminal for bank cards, for example, FPrintPay-01PTK - its cost is 29,450 rubles.

Please note: prices for online cash registers from some manufacturers have increased over the past 2 months. In addition, new cash desks are still in short supply. If possible, buy or order new CCP early.

In addition to the online cash register, you will need to conclude an agreement with a fiscal data operator (OFD) - it will transfer data from the cash register to the tax office (Clause 2, Article 4.5 of Law No. 54-FZ as amended on 01/01/2017). The Federal Tax Service recommended setting the price for annual OFD service in the amount of 3 thousand rubles, and posted on its website a list of operators, in this moment there are 5 of them:

Every 13 months, you need to change the fiscal accumulator in the online cash register - it costs 6 thousand rubles, you can replace it yourself or in the central service center. Firms on the simplified tax system, UTII, PSN (except for those who work with excisable products) are required to change the fiscal accumulator every 36 months (clause 6 of article 4.1 of law 54-FZ as amended on 01/01/2017).

The online cash desk does not work without the Internet - some cash registers have a slot for a SIM card, others work both via Wi-Fi and via a wired connection. So, add to the cost of servicing the online cash register the cost of an Internet connection (if your company does not have one) - from 200 rubles. per month.

Attention: Internet connection interruptions are not critical - the fiscal drive stores information for 30 calendar days and, when the connection is restored, transfers it to the tax office.

In total, one cash desk will cost at least 18 thousand rubles, and then companies on the OSN will pay 9 thousand rubles every year. for an agreement with OFD and a fiscal accumulator, for special regimes spending is lower - 3 thousand rubles. per year and another 6 thousand rubles. – when changing the drive 1 time in 3 years.

There is good news - the Government is considering a bill on a tax deduction for the purchase of online cash registers (draft law dated 08/31/2016 w/n, letter of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation dated 11/16/2016 No. 03-01-15 / 67327). If the bill is adopted, then individual entrepreneurs on UTII and PSN will be able to reduce the tax payment by 18 thousand rubles. - this is the amount proposed by officials tax deduction. The deduction can only be used during 2018. If the amount of the deduction is more than the imputed tax or the cost of the patent, then it can be transferred to another (for scammers) or another patent - if the individual entrepreneur has several of them on the PSN.

We register the online cash desk with the tax office

The tax authorities insist that it is preferable to register an online cash register, register cooperation with the OFD and change the fiscal drive in the CCP personal account on the website of the Federal Tax Service. In the personal account of the taxpayer, you have a section "Cash equipment" - there you need to register an online cash desk. For individual entrepreneurs, the personal account of the Federal Tax Service is connected to the portal of public services - if Account on public services is fully confirmed, then the personal account is ready for use.

For actions in the personal account of the taxpayer, you need electronic signature. If you do not have it, you need to take care of this issue and purchase it.

How to connect online cash register:

* do not forget to deregister the old cash register after registering online cash register.

To register an online cash register, in the "Cash equipment" section on the website of the Federal Tax Service, you need to select the "Registration of cash equipment" item. There you fill out an application for registration of an online cash register indicating its technical data and information about the company. In the Registration Report section, enter the registration data received on the cash register itself - the manufacturer's support service or the CTO will tell you more. You sign the application with an electronic signature and send it to the tax office. Within 5 days, a CCP registration card will appear in your personal account. If everything was done correctly, an inscription will appear opposite the information about the online cash register: “KKT is registered”.

Similarly, you can register a cash desk through the OFD - learn more from your operator.

By law, you can also submit a paper application to your tax office, but the procedure has not yet been regulated and the application form has not been approved (clause 1, clause 10 of article 4.2 of Law 54-FZ as amended on 01/01/2017).

After registering an online cash register, it can be used for settlements with the population and counterparties.

How to manage online cash register

The main change in accounting during the transition to online cash registers is that you can not fill out a unified primary for registering the receipt of money from the population:

  • KM-1 “Act on transferring the readings of summing money counters to zeros and registering KKM control counters”;
  • KM-2 "Act on taking readings of control and summing cash meters upon delivery (sending) of KKM for repair and upon its return to the organization";
  • KM-3 "Act on the return of funds to buyers (clients) for unused cash receipts»;
  • KM-4 "Journal of the cashier-operator";
  • KM-5 "Journal of registration of indications summing cash and control counters of KKM, working without a cashier-operator";
  • KM-6 "Help-report of the cashier-operator";
  • KM-7 "Information on the readings of KKM meters and the organization's revenue";
  • KM-8 "Journal of calls of technical specialists and registration of work performed";
  • KM-9 "Act on checking the cash register".

About this letter of the Federal Tax Service of Russia dated September 26, 2016 No. ED-4-20 / [email protected] and the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation dated September 16, 2016 No. 03-01-15 / 54413.

This is logical - why keep it, for example, if all the same indicators are recorded in the personal account of the cash register on the website of the Federal Tax Service (and in the personal account of the OFD - if the operator provides such an opportunity).

Together with online cash desks, an accountant will use 2 more additional types of checks:

  • correction check - punch it when you find, for example, unaccounted for revenue in the amount of excess cash over CCP data for that day;
  • a check with a sign of return of receipt - it should be issued both when returning cash for a product or service, and when returning money to the buyer's bank account.

The cash book, credit and debit orders will be issued in the same order.

Documents and information requested by the tax authorities will only need to be transferred through the personal account of the CCP on the website of the Federal Tax Service (clause 4, article 5 of Law 54-FZ as amended on 01/01/2017).

Before starting settlements with customers, the cashier generates a report on the opening of the shift, upon completion of settlements - a closing report. More than 24 hours cannot elapse between these reports (clause 2, article 4.3 of Law No. 54-FZ as amended on 01/01/2017). Usually, a mechanism for controlling the time between reports is already built into the cash register and the cash register is able to independently display a report on the closing of the shift. If this did not happen, the tax authorities will be punished for violating the procedure for generating a closing report as for violating the rules for applying CCP. The amount of sanctions - from one and a half thousand rubles. for the head of the company and from 5 thousand rubles. on the taxpayer.

If you started using an online checkout, then you issue a paper check to the buyer upon purchase, plus specify whether he needs a check in electronic form. If yes, then send it to email buyer. In accounting, electronic checks received from a counterparty are equated to paper ones (Article 1.1 of Law 54-FZ as amended on 01/01/2017).

Visually, checks issued online by CCPs will differ from regular checks: new checks have 21 required props instead of 7, as it was before (Clause 1, Article 4.7 of Law 54-FZ as amended on 01/01/2017). The main difference is the appearance of a QR code on the check, thanks to which the buyer will be able to find out Additional information about the company that issued the check.

Forms will also be changed. strict accountability- they can only be printed through an automated system for BSO or provided in electronic form, the clause on the possibility of printing forms in a typographical way has been excluded from the legislation.

What happens if you do not use the online checkout

If you are required to use a cash register at work, but are afraid to switch to online cash registers and work after 07/01/2017 at the old cash register, the tax authorities will issue a warning. Or they can impose a fine - from one and a half thousand rubles on an official and at least 5 thousand rubles. for a company/IP. Do not use cash registers, although you must - you will receive a fine of at least 10 thousand rubles. for an official and at least another 30 thousand rubles. to a legal entity / individual entrepreneur. You will get caught with this violation again and the amount of settlements past the cash desk will be more than 1 million rubles. - the official will be disqualified, and the activities of the company / individual entrepreneur will be suspended for a maximum of 90 days. Full list penalties for violations of the procedure for the application of CCP are in Art. 14.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses. The limitation period for violations of the order of work with the cash register is the same - 2 months (clause 1, article 4.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation).

Hello dear readers! In this article, we will analyze one more point on working with new online cash registers, namely, how to switch to them. For those who are not yet familiar with this issue, we advise you to read the article about.

Today you will learn:

  1. Who and in what terms is obliged to switch to online cash desks;
  2. How to make the transition - step by step instructions;
  3. Where to look at registers of cash registers and fiscal drives.

Since the beginning of this year, the topic of online cash desks among entrepreneurs has been ranked first in the list of priority problems. So, everyone understands that sooner or later everyone will have to switch to new cash desks. The main reference date for most businesses is July 1, 2017, for some, mainly small businesses, the transition is delayed until July 1, 2018.

Terms of transition to online cash desks

The process of transition to new cash desks was initially divided into several stages, the first of which have already passed.

Let's analyze them using the following table:

Timing of a specific stage Features of the use of CCP at this stage
Until February 1, 2017 It was allowed to use and register both new and old cash desks
February 1 - July 1, 2017 It is allowed to use both new devices and previously registered old-style cash registers. But only new-type cash registers can be registered; from 02/01/2017, the tax authorities stopped registering cash desks of old models
How to use and register exclusively new-type equipment. The use of new devices from this date is postponed only for taxpayers who switch to new models of cash register equipment from 07/01/2018.
New cash registers should be used by everyone, including the taxpayer for UTII or PSN, as well as those whose services are classified as services to the population

So, old-style cash desks have already ceased to register and entrepreneurs are faced with the task of changing old cash desks to new ones. There are several months left for this, as July 1, 2017 is just around the corner.

For some, the transition period may come even earlier! From March 31, 2017, those who sell alcoholic products can only do so using a cash register. In this case, the taxation regime, even if it is or for which there is a delay, does not matter. In this scenario, the delay until 2018 ceases to apply. Until July, it will be possible to work at the existing old-style checkout, from July there will have to be a new one - everything is according to the standard scenario.

How to make the transition to online cash registers? How to think over the plan of your actions? Our step-by-step instructions will help you with this.

Step-by-step instructions for switching to online cash registers

We will break the whole process of changing the old-style cash desk into several steps. So, you should start with preparatory activities, then purchase new apparatus or upgrade the old one, and, finally, register the new cash register with the tax authorities.

Step 1: We study the law on the use of cash registers and establish whether you need to use a cash register in your activities, and also when exactly this obligation to use it comes.

If from the middle of 2017 - there is not much time and work should begin on replacing the cash desk right now, if from 2018 - measures to replace cash registers can be postponed for the time being.

Step 2: We will find out whether it is possible to upgrade the existing CCP to the new requirements.

If it is impossible to upgrade or you didn’t have a cash desk at the beginning, then you need to look at the list of equipment that meets the new requirements of the law and choose the model that suits you. With these questions, you can contact the CCP manufacturers or the center Maintenance with which you are working.

Some models of cash registers cannot be upgraded, some do not yet have an upgrade kit. In the second case, such an upgrade kit can wait if it is reasonable and you have confirmation from the manufacturer that it is being developed and will be released soon.

Step 3: Decide what is best for you: buy new cash register or make an upgrade of the old one?

The decision must be made primarily based on the estimated costs. It is logical that you should choose a cheaper option. But the cost is not always decisive, other factors can also influence, for example, the number of cash desks that need to be changed, the features of the activity, and further business development plans.

If you have several cash registers that need to be replaced, for example in different outlets, that is, it makes sense to draw up a schedule for their modernization and replacement.

Step 4: We buy either a new cash register or a kit for upgrading an existing device.

Plus, you should purchase the necessary cash register software. On these issues, you will be advised by the seller of cash registers.

Step 5: We deregister the old cash desk even if we only upgrade it to new requirements.

After 07/01/2017, all old cash registers that have not been deregistered by the owners will be automatically deregistered as not meeting the requirements - be careful and do not delay the process of replacing cash registers.

Step 6: We bring the cash registers into condition for a new registration.

For those who bought a new cash register, you need to install the device itself, update software, provide other technical issues (access to the Internet, etc.). For those who modernize the old-style cash register, after removing the equipment from the register, it is necessary to install a modernization kit, remove the ECLZ and replace it with a fiscal drive, update the software.

Both the manufacturer's representatives and the technical service center with which you have previously worked can help in installing the upgrade kit.

Step 7: We conclude an agreement with a fiscal data operator (abbreviated OFD).

This requirement is mandatory; without it, the Federal Tax Service will not register your cash register.

OFD - an intermediary between the seller and the tax authorities, which ensures the transfer of data on revenue. Only Russian company who has permission to do so.

Step 8: We put a new / updated cash register on record with the tax office.

Here the sequence of actions looks like this:

  1. We draw up and submit an application for registration of CCP. This can be done either online through the CCP office on the website of the Federal Tax Service (an electronic signature is required), or in paper form in any tax office(before, you could only go to your own).
  2. The tax office tells you the registration number of the CCP, which will not change during the entire period of using the device.
  3. You write this number to the fiscal drive. You will also need to specify other data, for example, the name of the organization or full name of the individual entrepreneur and other details. After filling in all the required information, you need to generate a registration report and submit it to the tax office. This can already be done in three ways: on paper, electronically through the CCP office or through the OFD. These actions must be carried out no later than the business day following the day of receipt of the registration No. from the tax service.
  4. Within 5 working days, the tax authorities register the cash register and send you a registration card. You receive it through the KKT or OFD office in electronic form, if you need a paper version, contact the tax office, where you should print it out.

Step 9: The cash desk is installed and registered, you can work on it.

Registers of cash registers and OFD

The website of the Federal Tax Service has a special section dedicated specifically to online cash registers. We recommend that you familiarize yourself with its contents, there you can find a lot of useful information. For example, check the availability of a cash register in the CCP register, which meets the new rules and is approved for use, as well as look at the list of accredited OFDs in order to select the operator that suits you.

  1. Register of cash registers;
  2. Register of fiscal drives;
  3. OFD register.

With the help of them, you can check the accuracy of the information provided to you by the sellers of cash registers and companies offering OFD services, so as not to run into unscrupulous counterparties.
