For example, financial indicators are submitted to the statistical authorities on a monthly basis, financial statements and annexes to it are submitted to Rosstat once a year, information about wages workers by profession is granted once every two years.

Features of working with the service

The list of reports may change from year to year and it depends on how the statistics agency makes the selection. Therefore, it is better to clarify at the beginning of the year which reports will need to be filled out.

List of forms statistical observation It is formed at the end of the year, but it is updated monthly. Organizations operating for more than a year should receive information about the list of statistical reporting forms at the end of the year. Only established companies need to check such information every month during the first year of their incorporation.

If the list does not contain any form, then reporting is not required. An exception may be cases where a company has received a written notice of the need to submit one or another form of statistical reporting. If the organization is informed in writing that it is not necessary to submit a certain form, but on the website in the list given form listed, it is necessary to be guided written notice and not provide information to Rosstat. Penalties will not be charged in this case.

An organization can seek clarification from its territorial statistical office if the list published on the official website differs from what the organization received in writing.

Penalties for non-provision of statistical data

Failure by an organization to provide primary statistical data or provision of false information is considered an offense and entails the application of penalties.

For the initial failure to provide or late provision of data, fines are established in the amount of:

  • 10 - 20 thousand rubles. for officials;
  • 20 - 70 thousand rubles. for legal entities.

Repeated violation is punished by a more tangible amount of fines:

  • 30 - 50 thousand rubles. officials;
  • 100 - 150 thousand rubles. legal entities.

Increased fines are applied when the organization has repeatedly failed to submit reports or has violated the deadlines for submitting any form of statistical reporting.

The application of penalties to the organization does not eliminate the need to provide reporting data to the Rosstat authorities.

Most reporting forms and information territorial authority statistics requests independently. That is, it is transferred to the address of the institution (on purpose, by mail, in electronic request) a form to be completed and returned. The composition of the reporting to Rosstat in 2019 was corrected more than once.

So, for example, in public sector changed the frequency of reports "ZP" in terms of social and scientific fields activities. Note that earlier reports such as ZP-education, ZP-science and ZP-zdrav were submitted quarterly. Now they are monthly.

Due to the huge number of controlled entities, Russian statistics do not always have time to send requests to all recipients. However, the absence of an information request does not exempt the organization from the mandatory submission of reports to Rosstat in 2019. For this, the institution faces a large fine under 13.19 of the Code of Administrative Offenses.

In order to prevent an administrative penalty, Rosstat strongly recommends checking the TIN reporting. How to do this, we will tell further.

Rosstat - TIN reporting: verification algorithm

Step three - click the "Get" button. It is located directly below the fields for entering the identification information of the subject. The system analyzes the entered details and generates search results almost instantly.

So, let's analyze the received information. The registration codes of the economic entity are placed in the first part of the generated search results. These ciphers are also contained in the Letter from Rosstat, which is sent to the organization upon initial registration. If the letter is lost, then the ciphers can be clarified here.

Do all organizations have to submit reports to Rosstat? How to submit reports to organizations with branches? How can I submit a report? Galina Nikolaevna Gasanova, Deputy Head of Mosoblstat and Head of the Electronic Collection Working Group in Rosstat, answers these and other questions.

— Galina Nikolaevna, why are statistics collected at all? It is always easier for people to do something when there is an understanding of what it is for.

- To make decisions at the state level, it is necessary to have a complete picture of what is happening in the country. Statistics serve this purpose by aggregating thousands of indicators on social, economic, demographic, environmental and other processes. But not only the state is interested in statistics. This is a kind of "initial data" for solving any problem - whether it is a matter of regional or municipal planning or the business strategy of a private company.

- Many people are worried that the information submitted to the statistical authorities may be made public. How is it regulated by law?

- Official statistics are summary information. It is she and only she who is subject to publication. The primary statistical data contained in the respondents' reports are used only for the formation of official statistical information. They are not subject to disclosure or distribution (Article 9 of the Federal Law of October 29, 2007 No. 282-FZ).

— Do all organizations need to report to Rosstat? Are there concessions for IP?

- Everyone needs to report, but at different intervals and according to a different list of forms. For enterprises and organizations classified as small and medium-sized businesses, a simplified procedure for compiling statistical reporting has been established. For example, not all small enterprises report monthly and quarterly, but only those in the sample. All small enterprises report only once every five years - when conducting a complete survey of small and medium-sized enterprises.
Respondents will find an exhaustive answer to the question in brief instructions for filling out the forms, which are approved by orders of Rosstat simultaneously with the forms of these forms.

- By what criteria does the enterprise belong to small and medium-sized businesses?

— The criteria are established by Federal Law No. 209-FZ of July 24, 2007 “On the Development of Small and Medium Enterprises in the Russian Federation”. The law defines which companies cannot be classified as small and medium enterprises. These are legal entities authorized capital which the share of participation of the Russian Federation, subjects of the Russian Federation, municipalities, foreign legal entities or citizens, as well as legal entities that are not small and medium-sized businesses, exceeds 25 percent.

Other legal entities and individual entrepreneurs can be classified in this category depending on the average number of employees for the previous calendar year or proceeds from the sale of goods (works, services). The marginal values ​​of revenue for each category of small and medium-sized businesses are established by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of July 22, 2008 No. 556.

Let's consider a situation where entity has several separate divisions in different cities. How and where should the reports be submitted in this case?

- According to federal law dated November 29, 2007 No. 282-FZ, such companies provide data both for legal entities and for separate divisions in the prescribed manner. And the order of submission for each form is established in the instructions for filling it out. There are several forms in which information is presented as a whole for a legal entity - for example, form 1-enterprise. Most of the forms are required to be filled out as for each separate division, and for a legal entity without these separate divisions. Accordingly, they must be submitted both at the location of the relevant separate subdivision (for a separate subdivision) and at the location of the legal entity (without separate subdivisions).

At the same time, the Regulation on the conditions for mandatory submission of primary statistical data, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of August 18, 2008 No. 620, gives the head of the company the right to oblige divisions to report independently.

— Are there penalties for failure to submit reports to Rosstat?

— Yes, there are. In accordance with the Regulations on the conditions for the mandatory submission of primary statistical data, statistical bodies have the right to fine the heads of enterprises not only for being late, but also for providing false information, i.e. submission of reports with violation of instructions for filling out forms, arithmetic or logical errors (clauses 6, 14 of the Regulations). The amount of the administrative fine imposed in this case can range from three thousand to five thousand rubles (Article 13.19 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation). At the same time, penalties are provided for each case of violation.

— How to find out the set of forms on which the organization needs to report?

- On the websites of Rosstat and territorial statistical bodies in the section "Metadata and reference information" you will find a list of all forms of federal statistical observation.

In addition, the site contains a calendar of statistical reporting for the current year. By selecting a specific date from the calendar, you will see the name of the form submitted on that day and a list of respondents who need to turn it in.

For all questions related to filling out or submitting reports, please contact the statistics authority at the location of your organization - we are always happy to help you.

- You can submit reports to the statistical authorities both on paper and in electronic form. Regardless of the method of presentation, the report must be signed official, if submitted in electronic form - a valid electronic digital signature official.

For respondents, of course, it is more convenient to submit reports in electronic form with an electronic digital signature. At the same time, respondents not only significantly save time that they would have spent on registration postal item or visiting an agency, but also reduce the risk of penalties. This is due to the fact that the software has the necessary control that allows you to check the data before sending the report to the statistical authorities.

You can prepare data in software tools that are provided free of charge by Rosstat or offered by special communications operators that have entered into an agreement with statistical authorities. Reporting is accepted with any legitimate electronic digital signature, i.e. the respondent does not incur additional financial costs when submitting reports in electronic form.

For all transfer inquiries electronic reporting you can contact the territorial statistics office or the hotline of the special operator with whom you work.

In conclusion, I would like to emphasize once again: the report that you submit to the statistics agency is a small but important piece of a large all-Russian information “map”. A lot depends on the accuracy and correctness of the information you provide. Maybe - the right course of the company in which you work yourself.

From the editor. How to submit statistical reports in electronic form, read "" and "".

  • What should companies do to avoid fines? Apply in writing to the statistics authority?
