Filling out a VAT return is a process that is characterized by a fairly large number of nuances. So, the rules for working with the corresponding document defined by the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation imply the reflection of special codes of operations in it. What are they? In which sections of the declaration should they be recorded?
What are VAT codes?
The transaction code in the VAT return is a figure reflected in a section of the relevant accounting document, if provided for by its structure. It may indicate the nature of the transaction recorded in the declaration or, for example, reflect the legal status of the taxpayer.
Codes of Operations: Governing Law
The list of these codes is given in Appendix No. 1 to the official Procedure for filling out a declaration, which was approved by Order of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation No. MMV-7-3 / 558, adopted on 10.29.2014. This Procedure classifies the codes in question based on their relevance to a particular Section of the declaration.
Significance of Operation Codes
The transaction codes in the VAT tax return must be correctly defined, otherwise the agency that is the administrator of the relevant payments to the budget may not recognize the necessary indicators in the declaration, as a result of which the assessment of the quality of fulfillment by the taxpayer of the obligations stipulated by law may not be completely reliable. Thus, to indicate the correct figure in the declaration is primarily in the interests of the VAT payer.
Codes in books and magazines on VAT
It is important not to confuse the codes in question with those that characterize the filling of various accounting documents by VAT payers - books and magazines. The fact is that they use a different code - a figure that corresponds to the name of a taxpayerβs action that is of economic importance in terms of evaluating the content of the accounting document, which can be transferred to the Federal Tax Service in the established manner. This code facilitates the systematization and subsequent interpretation by tax service specialists of the content of VAT accounting documents.
Codes in Books and Magazines: Governing Law
The list of relevant codes is also enshrined in law. The main source of law in which they are given is Order of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation No. MMV-7-3 / 136, published on March 14, 2016. Codes of operations in accordance with the indicated source of law can be recorded:
- in purchase books, which are used in the framework of calculations for VAT, additional sheets to them;
- the sales book, as well as on the sheet supplementing it.
In addition, the noted legal act contains codes of varieties of transactions that are necessary for the taxpayer to maintain an invoice journal.
Codes in books and magazines: application
What can this or that cipher mean, the use of which is provided for by Order of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation No. MMV-7-3 / 136?
For example, code 01 given in the above Order of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation corresponds to operations related to the vacation, transfer or acquisition of certain goods, services or works, including those provided by intermediaries, as well as property rights. It is understood that the appropriate opcode can be used in all types of books and magazines used by the taxpayer.
