What you need to know about salary reporting
First, the reporting period for which you will submit salary information for your employees. The tax office requires annual reporting regarding deductions. The accountant fills out a special form 2-NDFL or 3-NDFL.
Secondly, it is necessary to accurately enter data into the salary reporting form and monitor changes in the Legislation of the Russian Federation. In order to avoid fines and reprimands from the tax service, it is necessary to carefully consider the new regulations and immediately adjust the reporting documents.
Reporting on personal income tax to the Federal Tax Service
When submitting one or another salary report, you must have all the information about the deadlines for its submission, as well as about the features in the certificate.
A sign is a conditional code that allows fiscal authorities to find out all the necessary information about amounts, the number of payers and other important indicators, for example, debt. Speaking about the reporting that is submitted to the Federal Tax Service, it makes sense to focus on the fact that it must be submitted before April 1 with sign 1, and no later than March 1 with sign 2.
The characteristics are indicated at the top of the certificate, in a special column. One is the code of the person from whose salary deductions are made, and two is the taxpayer code.
Calculation according to form 6-NDFL
Calculation using Form 6-NDFL is valid from the beginning of 2021. It must be submitted to all organizations that have hired employees. Completing salary reporting in this form does not eliminate the need to fill out 2-NDFL, in contrast to which, 6-NDFL applies to the entire organization as a whole. This type of document is also submitted to your Federal Tax Service. Please note that a new form has been approved since 2021, a sample of which can be downloaded from the official websites.
The calculation must be submitted four times a year, and the data must be presented in an accrual form:
The reporting month | Deadline |
For 2021 | 01.04.2019 |
For the 1st quarter of 2021 | 30.04.2019 |
For the first half of 2021 | 31.07.2019 |
For 9 months of 2021 | 31.10.2019 |
For 2021 | 01.04.2020. |
Reporting on insurance premiums to the Federal Tax Service
Reporting on insurance premiums is provided for all employers whose organizations employ employees. KND 1151111 is a new form that is approved for reporting. The form must record information about the individual himself, as well as information about the payer of the contribution, his obligations and personalized information about officially insured persons.
Data on accrued contributions and amounts paid must be reflected in the DAM on an accrual basis. In this case, the report is required to be submitted after every 3 months on the 30th day.

Since 2021, there have been quite a few innovations in the procedure and rules for submitting salary reports. Officials introduced new forms, for example, they updated the DAM form for the 1st quarter and subsequent periods of 2020. Some deadlines for submitting wage reports have also been updated (annual 6-NDFL and 2-NDFL). The adjustments also affected the reporting procedure. Individual reports will be combined altogether. For example, a law was adopted on the merger of 6-personal income tax and 2-personal income tax, the DAM and information on the average number of employees. Consequently, new forms will also be approved.
Things to consider when submitting reports in 2020:
- New procedure for submitting reports to the Federal Tax Service. If the company has 10 or more employees, reporting must be done electronically. Innovations affected reporting on personal income tax and insurance premiums. In addition, there are innovations for organizations with separate divisions.
- The deadline for filing 2-NDFL has been reduced by a whole month. Previously, reporting on income from which personal income tax was withheld was submitted before April 1.

Reporting to the Social Insurance Fund in 209: what's new?
Since January 1, 2021, the 4-FSS report has not changed in any way (when compared with the 2021 version of the form). Therefore, we can say with confidence that in 2021 the “old” form 4-FSS will be used. The procedure for filling it out is prescribed in the Order of the Social Insurance Fund dated September 26, 2016 No. 381 and as amended by the Order dated June 7, 2017 No. 275. The only thing is that in the new form, entrepreneurs need to indicate the code only according to the OKVED2 classifier. The level of insurance premiums in 2021 remains the same - 30%, but benefits are canceled from 01/01/19.
Deadline
6-NDFL is submitted 4 times a year.
Based on the results of the first quarter, half a year and nine months - within a month after the end of the reporting period.
At the end of the year - until April 1.
6-NDFL, just like 2-NDFL, can be submitted in paper form only if information is submitted for 24 or fewer people. If more, the form will only be accepted electronically.
Is it necessary to generate salary reports if there were no payments during the reporting period? No no need. Zero salary reports are not provided. But if you have employees, and you have previously submitted salary reports, for peace of mind it would not hurt to contact the tax office and send them an explanation of why you are not submitting anything this time (for example, because all employees are on administrative leave).
