Important aspects

This makes it easy to identify any cash register device used in Russia. But in order to register, certain requirements must be met.

In particular, prepare a package of documents, conclude a contract, and first purchase the device itself. At the same time, it is advisable to know about the basic rules for handling cash registers.

General rules for use

The procedure for handling cash registers is regulated by the “Standard Rules for Operation...”. They describe in detail the procedure for both the owner of the equipment and the cashier directly.

If we present these rules briefly, they will look like this:

When buying a cash register, you should consider not only ease of use There is a list of models allowed for registration with the Federal Tax Service. Models not included in the State Register of CCPs will not be registered.
The purchased device must be registered at the technical service center To register a cash register with the tax office, you will need to present an agreement with the central service center.

CCP repair can be carried out Exclusively by a representative of the service center

Legal basis

The registration procedure for cash registers is regulated by the following standards:

Some other legal documents are also important. Clause 12, Article 4 of Federal Law No. 103 determines that when accepting payments, the payment agent must use a cash register with a control tape and fiscal memory, and must comply with the legal requirements regarding the use of cash registers.

Cash register equipment covered by the State Cash Register Register must be used. The use of cash register models not included in the list is not permitted.

At this time, the Register includes about thirty-eight cash register models, which comply with the requirements of Federal Law No. 103 and can be used when making cash payments for individual entrepreneurs and organizations in the Russian Federation.

Registration procedure for cash register machines

Before purchasing a cash register, you must first make sure that it is necessary. Certain types of activities can be carried out without using a cash register.

To register yourself, you need to contact the tax office at your place of tax registration. The cash register is registered with the tax office at the actual address of use.

After submitting all the necessary documents to the KKM registration department, the tax inspector will set a time for fiscalization of the device.

In this case, the procedure for activating fiscal memory can be carried out both at the Federal Tax Service and at the place of operation.

A CTO specialist must be present during fiscalization. After completion of fiscalization, the tax inspector will enter the necessary information into the KKM Accounting Book.

The applicant receives the originals of previously submitted documents. After this, the device is ready for use.

Required package of documents

To register a cash register you will need:

  • maintenance agreement with the central service center;
  • KKM passport;
  • EKLZ passport;
  • numbered, laced and certified by the manager journal of the cashier-operator;
  • a similarly designed journal for recording calls from technical specialists and recording work performed;
  • KKM version passport;
  • additional sheet to the version passport;
  • document for the place of operation (title documents, etc.);
  • TIN and OGRN certificates.

Step-by-step instruction

The step-by-step algorithm for registering a cash register with the Federal Tax Service in 2019 can be presented as follows:

Submission of a package of documents Registration of KKM occurs within five days from the date of submission of the application. If any inaccuracies are identified in the documents, the applicant is obliged to correct the deficiencies within one day after receiving a notification from the Federal Tax Service. Otherwise, registration will be denied
CCT inspection After receiving the documentation, the tax inspector sets a date and time for checking the cash register. The entrepreneur must appear with the cash register exactly at the appointed time, otherwise he will be denied registration. Also at this time a representative of the Central Technical Service should appear
Obtaining a KKM registration card After the tax inspector checks the cash register and carries out fiscalization, information about the cash register is entered into the cash register book. A registration mark is placed in the KKM passport. The applicant is issued a KKM registration card. Registration is considered complete at this point.

It should be noted that registration may be carried out differently in different branches of the Federal Tax Service. In some places, pre-registration for an appointment is required, and in others, documents are submitted on a first-come, first-served basis. This point should be clarified in advance.

Sample card

The KKM registration card is filled out by the registering tax inspector. Then she gets a visa from the head of the Federal Tax Service.

This card is stored directly at the place where the cash register is used for the entire period of use of the cash register. When registering a card, the address of the actual use of the device is written in the “Installation by address” section.

If the cash register is deregistered, the card must be returned to the Federal Tax Service, where it is stored for three years after deregistration.

Is it possible to register through a power of attorney?

In this case, the representative of the organization may not be its employee. The registration service for cash register machines can also be offered by the central service center, with which a technical service agreement is concluded. In this case, the power of attorney is issued in the name of a representative of the Center.

If an individual entrepreneur wishes to register a cash register through an authorized representative, then the power of attorney must be notarized.

Features of registering a cash register

In accordance with the deadline for registering a cash register with the tax authority, it should not exceed five days from the date of submission of documents.

You need to know that the statutory service life of a cash register is seven years from the time of installation. After this period, the cash register must be deregistered.

Cash register machines are sold in a non-fiscal state, that is, the counter that summarizes revenue is turned off. Therefore, the fiscalization procedure is mandatory. If a used device is registered, then it is also necessary to reset the fiscal memory.

During the fiscalization procedure, the tax inspector enters into the device’s memory its serial number, INN and the name of the organization.

Fiscalization is completed by test input of the amount. This allows you to check the accuracy of the details. The tax inspector generates a verification Z-report using the previously entered password.

At the end of the procedure, the Federal Tax Service inspector and the applicant sign an act on the registration of control meters and the transfer of the KKM readings to zero. The cash register is assigned a unique number and is considered registered.

For individual entrepreneurs

An individual entrepreneur can register a cash register at his place of residence. Registration of KKM IP at the place of activity can also be carried out. But you need to take into account some features.

Establishes that all entrepreneurs are required to use cash registers when making cash payments. However, some categories of individual entrepreneurs can do without cash registers.

Provides a list of types of activities for which an individual entrepreneur has the right not to use cash registers.

These include:

  • activities involving the issuance of strict reporting forms;
  • work by or by;
  • sale of lottery tickets;
  • sale of securities;
  • trade in train carriages of certain goods;
  • provision of food in educational institutions, etc.

Individual entrepreneurs conducting their activities in remote and hard-to-reach areas may also not use cash registers. The list of these places is established by law.

Pharmacies of paramedic stations in rural areas are also subject to exclusion if they are available for pharmaceutical activities and there are no pharmacy organizations in the area.

In all other cases, the use of a cash register for individual entrepreneurs is mandatory. For the absence of a cash register, a fine is imposed in accordance with the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.

It is important that exemption from the use of cash registers is not interpreted as a violation of cash discipline. Everyone who works with cash is required to observe cash discipline.

For LLC

Organizations register cash register machines exclusively at the address where the device will be operated. To register, you should contact the tax office at the location of the legal entity.

If an organization has separate divisions that use cash registers, registration should be carried out at the place where these divisions are registered.

That is, if an LLC has several branches in different cities, then registration of cash registers occurs in each city separately. If the organization’s activities fall under the list, then you do not need to use a cash register.

In particular, this applies to cases when:

  • clients receive special checks or receipts as confirmation of payment;
  • Payments using checks and bank cards are not carried out;
  • the type of activity corresponds to that specified in Article 2 of Federal Law No. 54;
  • special financial reporting forms are used;
  • the organization applies the UTII regime.

For outbound trade

When a cash register is required for field trading, the registration card must contain a corresponding mark. In the section about the installation address it is written “For field trade”.

An individual entrepreneur can register a cash register for outbound trading at his place of registration. But registration is carried out not by registration, but by the territorial bodies of the Federal Tax Service.

The procedure for using cash registers in distribution trade is explained. It states that every retail location must be equipped with a cash register.

If there are several retail locations, even if they are located at the same address, as many cash register devices are required as there are workplaces. KKM for outbound trade is registered in the usual manner.

The difference is that you do not need to present documents for the premises. The card contains the legal address of the organization or the place of registration of the individual entrepreneur and the type of field activity.

It is not enough for an entrepreneur to simply purchase a cash register. Working with an unregistered cash register is equivalent to operating without a cash register.

The fines for this offense are quite significant. Considering that the procedure for registering a cash register is not particularly complicated, it is much more profitable to register a cash register in a timely manner.

Registration of cash registers is one of the mandatory points of compliance with cash discipline for legal entities and individual entrepreneurs with cash turnover. By registering a cash register, tax authorities are able to control the activities of a retail business. The procedure has a number of features, which are the subject of our article.

What needs to be done before registering a cash register with the Federal Tax Service

Before registering a cash register with the tax authorities, a person who intends to use it must purchase cash register equipment. Now this can only be an online cash register, that is, a cash register that meets the requirements of Art. 4 of the Law “On the Application of Cash Registers...” dated May 22, 2003 No. 54-FZ, updated in connection with the introduction of online cash registers. Its main differences from the previously used cash registers are that it:

  • connects to the Internet and ensures the transmission of sales information to the tax authority through the fiscal data operator in real time;
  • is able to make payments using bank cards;
  • has a fiscal storage of sales information that stores this data for a certain period and, like the cash register itself, is subject to registration with the tax authority;
  • makes it possible not only to print all created documents (including those stored in the fiscal storage device), but also to generate them in electronic form;
  • ensures the generation of documents with a specific (expanded compared to previously used technology) set of details, which are encrypted in a barcode.

The purchased cash register and the fiscal storage device for it (to be replaced as it is filled with information or expires) must be included in the relevant state registers. It is no longer necessary to have an agreement with the central service center for registration. But a mandatory condition for the use of online cash register systems is the conclusion of an agreement with the fiscal data operator.

Registration of cash registers with the tax office

To register a cash register, its user submits an application either on paper to any Federal Tax Service Inspectorate in the region, or electronically through the cash register office. In the latter case, the date of submission of this document coincides with the date of its placement in the office.

In the application for registration of cash register equipment, incl. are indicated (clause 2 of article 4.2 of the law dated May 22, 2003 No. 54-FZ):

  • full name of the legal entity or full name of the individual entrepreneur;
  • address (for online payments - website address) and the place where the cash register will be used;
  • KKT model name and serial number;
  • name of the fiscal drive model and its serial number;
  • number of the automatic device used for calculations (if used);
  • information on whether the cash register will be used in a mode that does not provide for electronic transmission of data to the Federal Tax Service;
  • information on the use of cash registers only for the formation of BSO;
  • information on the use of cash register systems only for online payments;
  • information about whether the cash register will be used to perform the functions of a paying agent or to accept bets and issue winnings when conducting gambling activities.

The Federal Tax Service Inspectorate, having verified the legality of registration, assigns a registration number to the cash register and no later than the 1st working day following the day the document was submitted, transfers it to the user. Having received a registration number from the INFS, the user must, on the working day following the day of receipt of this number, enter it into the fiscal drive along with information about himself and the cash register used, generate a registration report and send it to the Federal Tax Service either through the fiscal data operator or through the cash register account .

The Federal Tax Service Inspectorate enters the information received during the registration process into the accounting journal and the cash register registration card. The date the card is issued is considered the date of registration (Clause 7, Article 4.2 of Law No. 54-FZ dated May 22, 2003).

How to fill out the application form for registering a cash register

Registration application forms, accounting books and registration cards were approved by Order of the Federal Tax Service dated May 29, 2017 No. ММВ-7-20/484@.

The paper application for registration of a cash register contains 10 pages. Its form (with number 1110061) is used not only for registering cash registers with the tax office, but also when re-registering cash register devices. You can download the application form on our website.

Filling out the application form is similar to tax returns, so in practice it should not cause any difficulties for accountants.

Who issues a sample card for registration of cash register equipment

The KKT registration card is issued by the tax office within 10 working days (clauses 7 and 11 of Article 4.2 of Law No. 54-FZ dated May 22, 2003) from the date of filing the application for registration. It is sent to the user electronically through the cash register account or through the fiscal data operator and exists as an electronic document signed with an enhanced qualified electronic signature. If necessary, a user who has an electronic version of the card can receive it from the Federal Tax Service on paper (Clause 12, Article 4.2 of Law No. 54-FZ of May 22, 2003).

Changes to the cash register registration card are made not only when changing the parameters specified during registration, but also when replacing the fiscal drive.

Results

To register a cash register, the user can submit a tax application in the prescribed form on paper. You can download the form in our article. But it is more convenient to go through the registration procedure electronically through the personal account of the KKT user on the Federal Tax Service website.

On October 19, 2016, the Federal Tax Service opened the possibility of registering cash registers. Our partner in St. Petersburg, the Veles Center, has registered the Viki Mini online cash register for the GOCTi supermarket on Peterhofskoe Highway.

Using this example, let's look at how registering a cash register on the tax website actually happens.

What do you need to register?

In order to successfully register a cash register on the tax website online, you need to have on hand:

  1. Online cash register with a connected fiscal drive.
  2. Agreement with the Fiscal Data Operator.
  3. KEP or KSKPEP.

You need to know the numbers of the cash register and fiscal drive - they can be found in the device passports or on the diagnostic receipt at the checkout. Check that you have access to your personal account on the OFD and tax website. And also prepare information about the store, TIN of a legal entity or individual entrepreneur.

If you want to work autonomously, then when registering on the Federal Tax Service website, check offline mode - in this case you do not need to have a signed agreement with the OFD in hand. If you start working immediately with the OFD, then during the registration of the cash register with the tax office you will need to indicate the operator’s data.

Receive the CEP key in advance and enter into an agreement with the OFD. You will have to go to get the KEP key or wait for delivery. An agreement with the OFD can be concluded online, but you will need to pay the invoice, which can also cause a delay.

Dreamkas-F + Yandex OFD
CEP, fiscal accumulator
and year OFD included

Together with Yandex OFD, a solution has been developed for simplified registration of the Dreamkas-F online cash register with the Federal Tax Service. You sign an agreement with the OFD when purchasing a cash register; registration with the tax office is done right at the checkout.



Get a qualified electronic signature (CES)



A qualified electronic signature is needed for documents sent over the Internet to have legal force. An electronic document signed by the CEP is equivalent to a regular paper document with a signature and seal.

To register a cash register without visiting the tax office, you will have to buy such an electronic signature. The signature can only be issued by an accredited certification center. The list is on the website of the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications.

A signature is a unique electronic certificate. This certificate is recorded on a special secure flash drive - the KEP key. You will have to go or send a courier to get the key for a qualified electronic signature. Some certification centers will send the key along with a specialist who will immediately set up your computer to work with electronic document management.

Agreement and registration in the OFD



A prerequisite for working according to the rules of 54-FZ is an agreement with a fiscal data operator. From February 1, 2017, registration of cash register equipment is possible only if there is an agreement with the OFD.

We are considering a situation in which the store will begin transferring data to the operator immediately after registration. Therefore, before starting registration with the Federal Tax Service, we register the cash register on the OFD website.

There is a separate register for fiscal data operators on the website of the Federal Tax Service. Choose any of them, enter into an agreement and register the cash register on the OFD website, following the operator’s instructions.

Personal account on the Federal Tax Service website



To work with a personal account, an individual entrepreneur needs an UES - an enhanced electronic signature. Legal entities need a qualified electronic signature verification key certificate - KSKPEP. Both signatures can be obtained from certification centers accredited by the Ministry of Communications and Communications of the Russian Federation.

Depending on the organizational form of the enterprise, you need to gain access to the personal account of a legal entity or individual entrepreneur. The account of an entrepreneur differs from the account of a legal entity, but the process of registering a cash register is identical. We will look at registration using the example of a Limited Liability Company.

Registration with the Federal Tax Service

Gaining access to your personal account is associated with a number of difficulties, so directly on the Federal Tax Service website you can pass a check to ensure that you have met the entry conditions.

Key conditions include the use of the Internet Explorer browser, the availability of all necessary certificates and drivers for the electronic key, as well as the availability of network ports 80 and 443 for receiving and transmitting events. To access ports, in some cases you need to disable the firewall on your computer and router.

In your Personal Account, you need to go to the “Cash Control Equipment” section.




The application must indicate:

  • KKT owner details,
  • KKT installation address,
  • model and serial number of the cash register,
  • information about the scope of application of CCP,
  • model and serial number FN,
  • details of the OFD with which the service agreement was concluded; if the cash register operates without connecting to the OFD, you need to indicate the offline mode flag.


Double-check the information and click “Sign and Submit.” If successful, information about adding a request appears:



After checking the relevance of the information in the application, in the section “Information on documents sent to the tax authority,” the Federal Tax Service assigns a CCP Registration Number.

Registration at the checkout

After submitting an application on the Federal Tax Service website, you need to carry out the registration operation at the checkout. To do this, go to the menu item “Settings” → “OFD” → “Registration”.

In this section you must enter:

  • Name of the user organization or full name of the individual entrepreneur-user (they must match the details of the legal entity entered when setting up the user details);
  • Place (address) of settlements;
  • CCP registration number.

Specify the enterprise tax system and select your fiscal data operator from the list.

After filling out all the fields, press the “Registration” button. A message will appear on the screen and the cash register will print a report.


Completing registration on the Federal Tax Service website

After registering at the cash register, the document number, fiscal attribute and the exact date and time of the transaction from the report must be added to the taxpayer’s personal account on the Federal Tax Service website.



According to the law, in case of successful data processing, an electronic registration card appears within 5 working days. Now it happens almost instantly. The card can be printed or saved electronically.



A cash register is considered registered after the date of registration with the non-commercial organization and the expiration date of the tax fund appear on the website. You can also hover over the rectangular indicator icon and see the current status of the cash register.

After this, your cash register will begin to transfer fiscal data to the OFD servers, and checks to the customer’s subscriber number or email:

  1. Personal appeal to the tax service. You will need to prepare a written application and documentation package before going to the inspection.
  2. Registration of equipment through the Federal Tax Service website. You will need to register on the official website of the tax service and conduct transactions through your personal account.

  4. Registration of documentation through technical service centers. With this option, you will not need to deal with documents, since specialists will independently collect the necessary papers and send them to the Federal Tax Service. All you need is your consent to perform this service.

July 1, 2017 is the deadline for most entrepreneurs to switch from regular cash registers to cash registers that transmit information to the Federal Tax Service online. Since the beginning of February, tax inspectorates have stopped registering old-style cash registers, it is impossible (control tape).

In this regard, the issue of registering online cash registers is very relevant for entrepreneurs and heads of organizations. Let's look at how to go through this procedure step by step.

Advantages of early transition to online cash registers

Despite the fact that businessmen still have time during which they are allowed to use their usual cash registers, they will have to obey the Federal Law of July 3, 2016 No. 290-FZ, which introduced significant innovations to the Federal Law of May 22, 2003 No. 54-FZ Federal Law regulating the use of cash register equipment.

Why is it better to take care of this issue in advance? Entrepreneurs who decide to modernize cash accounting in advance receive the following advantages compared to their less efficient colleagues:

  • the “voluntary” period of innovation allows you to get a temporary head start for the preparation, implementation and establishment of new systems and operations;
  • there is still no rush to purchase the necessary models of devices;
  • If the service life of the next EKLZ is coming to an end, there is no point in buying new tapes, because they will soon no longer be used.

Modify or replace cash registers

Before moving on to the general modernization of cash registers, an entrepreneur needs to decide whether to purchase new models of cash registers or invest in the modernization of existing ones.

To solve this problem, it is necessary to consider existing models for their possible modernization. To do this, you need to check whether these models are included in the register of equipment that can be upgraded, and also clarify until what year their use will be legal. Based on the data obtained, a decision can be made on the advisability of modernization.

What to look for when choosing a cash register model

If management decides to replace cash register equipment, then it is necessary to consciously select models that will be as convenient as possible and meet the requirements of a particular organization. Important factors that may influence your choice:

  • "patency"- a parameter of the device, which is influenced by the number of operations performed (for example, a supermarket cash register requires high throughput, but for a company selling services, this parameter does not matter);
  • maximum number of checks issued per day- each model has its own recommended norm, the factor is related to the characteristics of the organization’s activities;
  • check printing speed- depends on the required pace of customer service;
  • possibility of automatic check cutting- important for high throughput and printing speed, practically unimportant for low machine load;
  • cash register connection port- for some models, the port connector does not fit all computers; it is better to choose cash registers equipped with a USB port and cord;
  • mobility or stationarity- sometimes mobile models are very practical when you need, for example, to go to an important customer yourself to conclude a deal, while it is more convenient to have a stationary model in the office in case another client arrives;
  • Availability of the model from the supplier- all other things being equal, it is better to choose a more affordable model, the delivery of which will not have to wait long.

How to register an online cash register correctly

The procedure for registering new-style cash register equipment is regulated in Article 4.2. the above-mentioned Federal Law. The procedure has been “tested” by the Federal Tax Service and fiscal data operators. The law allows you to choose one of the methods convenient for the entrepreneur for this.

  1. Fill out a paper application for registering a cash register, submit the document to any tax authority, and receive a registration card at the place of registration of the company (at “your” territorial tax office).
  2. Submit an application electronically through your personal account on the official website of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation. To do this, entrepreneurs need an improved electronic signature - ESP, without which no electronic documents will be accepted for consideration. This CEP will need to be formalized one way or another.

Is it possible to use the usual registration rules?

The law allows the use of the previous procedure for registering cash registers, prescribed in the old version of Federal Law No. 290, until the end of 2017. However, this procedure will be valid with some serious reservations, which are not directly stated in the legislation, but tax authorities pay attention to them:

  • Only outdated cash registers can be registered before the designated time; new models are not accepted for registration according to the old scheme;
  • cash register models modernized for online operation, as well as new models, will have to be registered according to the updated regulations.

NOTE! From February 1, 2017, in accordance with paragraph 4 of Art. 7 Federal Law No. 290, in order to register a new cash register device for fiscal registration, it is necessary to conclude an agreement with a fiscal data operator (FDO), whose services will be paid. You can choose one of several providers of such services on the website of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation.

    • TIN of the organization or individual entrepreneur;
    • registration number of the cash register.
  4. Indicate the system by which the organization is taxed.
  5. Select from the proposed list the fiscal data operator with whom the agreement was concluded.
  6. Check that all fields are filled in and click the “Registration” button.

Registration of a modernized cash register machine

To register not a new, but a modernized cash register model, you need to follow any of the above schemes - “paper” or “electronic”. But before starting the procedure, one more preliminary step needs to be completed - to remove this device from the register on which it was previously registered (this must be done strictly before the end of 2017).

IMPORTANT INFORMATION! Presentation of the cash registers themselves during registration and/or deregistration is not required.
