The term "fiscal accumulator" is fairly new. It appeared thanks to the amendments that were made to the legislation on cash registers. They came into force on July 1, 2017 and completely changed the requirements for cash registers. New devices began to be called online cash registers because of their ability to transfer data via the Internet. And they acquired this ability precisely thanks to fiscal accumulators.

Modern alternative to ECLZ

The fiscal accumulator (FN) is an element of cash registers of a new type. It can be called the brain of the CCP, since it is he who remembers all the fiscal information. This module has become a replacement for obsolete ECLZ, which are no longer used today. The drive not only took over the functions previously performed by an electronic tape, but also significantly expanded them. The main tasks of the storage are:

• signing and encrypting checks;
• transfer of information about them via the Internet;
• receiving and checking response information;
• storage of data on knocked out checks without the possibility of adjustment;
• blocking receipt generation if the drive memory contains untransmitted data generated more than 30 days ago.

How FN works

In order for the fiscal accumulator to interact with the tax service, one more link is needed - the fiscal data operator (OFD). This is a company that will ensure the secure transfer of information from the drive to the FTS server. The data is transmitted according to the information exchange protocol approved by the tax service. The interaction between these links is arranged as follows:

• the fiscal drive captures information about the knocked out check;
• if there is an Internet connection, it instantly transfers data to the OFD;
• the operator sends them to the server of the Federal Tax Service and to the email or phone number of the buyer (if the latter wished to receive an electronic check);
• if there is no connection to the Internet, information about the knocked out check is stored in the memory of the drive.

Thus, thanks to the fiscal accumulator, the tax service receives information about the knocked out check almost at the time of its formation. In the event of a failure in the Internet, the information will be stored on the drive. As soon as the connection is restored, the data will be transferred to the OFD, and then to the Federal Tax Service. So sellers should not worry - if the Internet is gone, sales will not have to be stopped. But it is important that the connection is restored within 30 days, otherwise the FN will be blocked.

Modernization of CCP

Any model of modern cash register equipped with a fiscal data storage device. But in order to comply with the requirements of the law, it is not necessary to acquire a new apparatus. You can upgrade an existing cash register - it will cost a little cheaper. Manufacturers of fiscal drives have made sure that they have the same size and type of connection with the device as EKLZ. That is, the drive can be installed in the cash register case instead of the tape. In addition, you will need to change the firmware of the board. Such services are provided by service centers of CCM manufacturers.

Validity

The main criterion for selecting a financial statement is the validity period of the fiscal attribute key. This is the period during which the drive will function after its registration with the Federal Tax Service. By general rule it is 13 months. However, companies and entrepreneurs that apply special tax regimes, as well as sell services, must use devices with a fiscal drive that is valid for 36 months.

After the expiration of the specified period, the FN is subject to replacement. It was the same with ECLZ, but at the same time I had to contact the service center. But FN can be replaced with your own hands. After that, it is necessary to ensure its storage for 5 years. Together with the drive, you should store reports on its closure and on changes in the CCP registration data.

Drive registry

The tax service maintains a register of fiscal drives, which lists the models allowed for sale, their parameters and manufacturers. You can find it on the FTS website. So far, there are only 4 drives in the registry. They are installed on the cash desks of a new model or are offered for sale to replace or upgrade old devices. Three drives from the registry have a validity period of 13 months, and one has a validity period of 36 months. You can also check the purchased copy on the service website fiscal accumulator by factory number.

blocking

If receipt data is not transferred to OFD for more than 30 days, the drive will be blocked. This means that the cash desk will not be able to knock out checks. Selling goods through such a device will not work. This can happen due to the lack of Internet, so it is important to always monitor the performance of the communication channel.

The most unpleasant consequence of this is the need to stop the sale of goods. However, you will not have to report to the Federal Tax Service or OFD, or re-register, and even more so change the drive. It is only necessary to eliminate the cause of the blocking, that is, to restore the connection of the cash desk with the Internet. After that, the FN will be unblocked on its own and will again begin to transmit data on knocked out checks.

It happens that the company has a backup cash register, which is used only occasionally. For example, in the event of a breakdown of the main machine or as a portable cash desk during the delivery of goods. Will FN be blocked if more than 30 days pass between the generation of checks? You don't have to worry about this. Blocking occurs only when an unsent check remains in the drive. If the check is sent to the OFD, then there will be no blocking even if the cash register is used less than once a month. So every time after using the reserve cash desk, you can safely turn it off, after making sure that the sales data are transferred to the Federal Tax Service.

Is it possible to do without storage

The law provides for exemption from the need to use a cash desk in the implementation of certain types of activities. In addition, until July 1, 2018, entities that pay UTII or provide services to the public, as well as individual entrepreneurs on a patent, can work without cash registers. However, some of these taxpayers use cash desks despite the absence of obligation. Can they use devices without a fiscal drive?

The presence of a cash register with a drive is a requirement of the law on cash registers. It was possible to register old-style equipment with the Federal Tax Service until February 1, and use it until July 1, 2017. From this date, the use of old devices in Russia is prohibited. Therefore, if the entities mentioned above work with cash registers, then they must use a cash register with a fiscal drive.

There is also an indulgence for trade enterprises located in settlements remote from communication networks. They are also required to use cash desks with FN, but may not transfer fiscal information to the FTS. In this case, the cash register will be used offline - the information will be stored in the memory of the drive. According to the current criterion, a locality with a population of less than 10 thousand people can count on this benefit. The list of such territories must be approved by the regional authorities and published on the website of the local administration.

So, the fiscal accumulator today is an indispensable element of the cash register. It turns an ordinary cash register into a modern device that is able to store data in encrypted form and transfer them to the Federal Tax Service. This should simplify the work of the service, ensure transparency of reporting and reduce the burden on businesses in terms of tax control.

Registration of cash registers

Registration of a cash register with the tax FTS Registration of a cash register with the tax authorities is a mandatory procedure that must be carried out by entrepreneurs or organizations (hereinafter referred to as owners) immediately after acquiring the appropriate CCP (cash register equipment). After the introduction of the law on mandatory application owners of online cash registers must either switch to a new type of cash registers that support data transfer to the Federal Tax Service, or upgrade the old cash register, if possible.

When switching to working with cash registers, many entrepreneurs try to save money and choose the cheapest online cash registers. But what makes such savings possible? Which devices in this segment are considered to be inexpensive and who can almost 100% compensate for the cost of purchasing cash registers through the use of tax deduction.

Types of cash registers and their cost

Indeed, it is believed that online cash registers are, in principle, an expensive device (and this partly explains the desire of many entrepreneurs to avoid or at least postpone their installation). But, as in most other segments of digital technology, online cash registers can be classified into different groups by the cost of models - in many cases, correlating with the characteristics of the device typical for a particular group (especially in terms of the basic technological principles of their operation and form factor).

Of course, such a division is conditional (if only due to the impossibility to objectively attribute certain CCP models to a certain group - both in terms of cost and characteristics). And any criteria applicable in the classification of online cash registers will, in any case, not be indisputable.

Considering the technological principles of their operation and form factor as criteria for classifying online cash registers, we can distinguish the following types of devices:

1. Online cash registers based on specialized POS systems and high-performance fiscal registrars.

The principle of operation of such cash registers is modular. fiscal registrar(the main hardware component of the "modular" online cash register) works in conjunction with a high-speed computing module.

The fiscal registrar is one of the main form factors of the online cash register. Fiscalization of trading proceeds and preparation of files for subsequent sending to the Federal Tax Service are carried out on the side of the registrar - and only then the payment data is transferred for further processing to a computer.

The considered cash registers are traditionally among the most expensive, which is due to the manufacturability of the hardware components used in them (as part of the modules that make up the cash register). The cost of high-performance cash desks based on POS systems reaches 100 thousand rubles and more.

Online checkout as a high-performance POS system. It costs expensive.

Note that the share of the fiscal registrar in this cost can be the largest - and exceed 30 thousand rubles.

1. Based on budgetary fiscal registrars.

Such online cash registers operate on the same technological principle as the previous ones - that is, when they form a bundle with a computing module. But both components of the online cash register in this case will be "budget".

A “budget” registrar can be bought for less than 7,000 rubles without FN. The simplest computer or mobile gadget can serve as a computing module for it (provided that the communication interfaces of the device and the fiscal registrar are compatible - more on that later).

If you focus on a new device or used device of acceptable quality, bought somewhere on Aliexpress, it is quite possible to buy a computing module for less than 10 thousand rubles.

If the store already has computers or gadgets, registrars can be connected to them, if, of course, there is compatibility between the communication interfaces of these devices and online cash registers. There may or may not be any additional costs for this part.

1. Autonomous online cash desks of the "gadget" type.

Such cash desks can rightfully be classified as “expensive”. But this is quite explainable by their technological part. Indeed, the cash registers in question operate on the basis of real mobile gadgets - running Android. You can put interesting applications on them, “poke your finger” at their screen - it’s familiar to how poking at the display of a smartphone and tablet occurs.

Evotor is one of the most recognizable brands in the cash register gadget market.

Thanks to applications, the functionality of cash register gadgets can be extremely wide: solutions have been developed and continue to be developed for inventory accounting, marketing policy implementation, increasing the efficiency of product promotion - and all on a “one window” screen that fits on the cashier’s table.

The price of the Evotor 5 smart terminal with a fiscal drive.

The estimated cost of a modern cash register gadget is from 18,000 rubles.

Video - an overview of the cheapest touch online cash register Evotor 5:

1. Autonomous cash desks of the "command-controlled" type.

These online cash registers in most cases can be attributed to the "cheapest".

The autonomy criteria here are the same as in the first case. Cash register is a full-fledged device, independent of external computing modules, ready for operation immediately after proper configuration.

However, from a technological point of view, a "command-controlled" cash register operates according to much simpler principles in comparison with a "gadget". This cash desk works without a specialized operating system- instead of it, a relatively simple factory firmware with a basic set of "commands" is used.

Information is displayed, as a rule, on a very simple (sometimes single-line) display - and in most cases reflects any one operation (for example, confirmation of the amount entered or confirmation of the success of breaking through the proceeds at the checkout). As a rule, we are not talking about any multitasking.

A "command-controlled" online cash register without a fiscal drive can be bought at a price of up to 7,000 rubles.

Video - an overview of one of the cheapest online cash registers Agat 1F:

Thus, the cheapest online cash registers, in terms of minimizing the "purchase" costs of a trading enterprise, include cash registers of the second and fourth types.

Let's take a look at what typical characteristics each type of CCP has (and then consider how important these characteristics are for certain businesses).

What are the typical characteristics of a "cheap" online checkout

So, we have established that there are two form factors of cheap online checkouts:

1. Modular cash registers based on budgetary fiscal registrars.

The above "cheap" fiscal registrar Viki Print 57F has the following main characteristics:

• receipt printing speed: 100 mm/s;
• supported receipt width: 57 mm;
• supported interfaces: RJ-12, RS-232, USB;
• auto cutter: absent.

Competing solutions in this price segment are generally comparable in terms of key functions. It should be noted that the indicated receipt printing speed is even higher than the average for the segment (typical value is no more than 75 mm/sec).

What do these characteristics mean?

A receipt printing speed of 100 mm/sec is sufficient for prompt customer service in a small retail outlet, where queues are rare. In addition, it is not supposed to include too many positions for goods in the check. If, for example, 10 items are printed in 2 seconds (this is stated on the manufacturer’s website), then a typical supermarket set of goods “in a full cart” most likely forms a list of two to three dozen different items. The absence of an auto cutter means that receipts need to be manually torn off, further lengthening the customer service process.

A check up to 57 mm wide is the most common, one of the most common in Russian trade. It is designed mainly to display commodity items as such (supplemented by legally required check details). It is usually problematic to place various "unofficial" information on it - for example, a graphic image with a logo or an advertising message. But it is this option that may be of interest to a large retail chain.

In turn, the support of the registrar only wired interfaces - as a rule, is not critical. Wireless communication methods are not always liked by system administrators of retail outlets - especially large ones, where a lot of potential interference “wanders” around the checkout: buyers' mobile phones, tested and operated household appliances, various wireless cash accessories.

However, in the case of mobile businesses - home delivery, transport services, catering, one cannot do without a cash register that supports wireless interfaces for data exchange with a computing module. In addition, you will need a battery - which is not available at the considered "cheap" checkout.

1. Autonomous "command-controlled" online cash registers.

Using the example of the ELVES MF device mentioned above, the following typical characteristics of the cash registers in question can be distinguished:

• receipt printing speed: 45 mm/s;
• tape width: 57 mm;
• supported interfaces: RS-232, Wi-Fi;
• auto cutter: absent.

The online cash register has a built-in 1500 mAh battery.

Thus, in terms of performance in terms of speed and compatibility over wired interfaces, an inexpensive stand-alone cash register ELVES-MF can be noticeably inferior to a “cheap” modular type cash register based on a budget fiscal registrar. However, thanks to the battery, its scope will be much wider - the device is adapted to the trading business in a mobile format. Another argument in favor of autonomy is Wi-Fi support.

There is a fundamental possibility of providing support for the mobile Internet by the ELVES-MF cash desk. How to implement this opportunity in practice, you need to find out from a specific supplier: perhaps he will agree to bring already adapted to connect to the Internet through GSM devices, or explain the procedure for upgrading the supplied cash registers to the level at which data transmission via GSM will be supported.

Thus, a "cheap" online cash register - represented by a modular or standalone form factor - is a device that:

1. Adapted to processing checks with a relatively small (within one or two dozen) number of commodity items.

1. In many cases, it does not have a battery (the rule is typical, first of all, for modular cash registers based on registrars - autonomous cash registers, in turn, general case equipped with batteries).

1. Doesn't have an auto cutter.

1. In many cases, it is adapted only to a wired connection to the store's cash infrastructure used (but at stand-alone cash registers - even at the most budget ones, the implementation of support for common wireless data transfer standards is very common).

Thus, a "cheap" online cash register is optimal for use in a small store with apartment building, kiosk. And in many cases not suitable for chain stores with queues.

Cheap stand-alone cash register with battery (and wireless data support) - perfect solution for business in a mobile format (at the same time, its user can be both a start-up enterprise and a large brand interested in minimizing technical problems using CCP).

The “cheapness” of a cash register may consist in a significant reduction in the actual costs of its acquisition due to the use of a tax deduction. Let's consider this feature in more detail.

Tax deduction when buying cash register equipment for individual entrepreneurs on UTII and PSN

The purchase of cheap online cash desks, the cost of which, as we already know, may not exceed 7 thousand rubles (without a fiscal drive), is also attractive because the user of such a cash desk in the status of an individual entrepreneur working on PSN or UTII (this is a fundamental point), may include the cost of purchasing CCP in a tax deduction. That is, to reduce the calculated tax on PSN or UTII by the cost of the purchased online cash register and related costs (for a fiscal drive, an agreement with OFD, software, customization services).

The tax can be reduced by 18,000 rubles from each online cash register. At the same time, if one cash desk costs 7,000 rubles, and the other - 27,000, then a total of 25,000 rubles will be deducted, since at the second cash desk the amount cannot exceed the specified limit (and the calculated excess cannot be "transferred" to the first cash desk). Therefore, an individual entrepreneur on PSN or UTII, who is faced with a choice - to buy a cash register for 7 thousand rubles with the most modest characteristics or for 18 thousand rubles with improved functionality, can, without hesitation, choose the second option.

That is, it is possible that it will make sense not to stop, literally, at the cheapest online checkout, but to choose a device that, in terms of characteristics, significantly exceeds the indicated checkouts within 7,000 rubles - but at the same time it will cost the trading company “free of charge” by virtue of receiving a deduction .

Thus, we can conditionally distinguish 3 types of inexpensive online cash registers:

• modular (based on the fiscal registrar);
• autonomous;
• various types specially "under the deduction".

Among the best options for small trading enterprises that can claim a deduction are the following models of online cash registers with a fiscal drive for 36 months:

• fiscal registrar Shtrikh-Online for 17,000 rubles;

• autonomous cash desk ATOL 91F - for 17,000 rubles;

• cash desk gadget PTK MSPOS-K - for 18,000 rubles.

If we talk specifically about fiscal registrars and consider the threshold price of 18,000 rubles (excluding FN), then, in principle, there is every chance to choose a model that is far from the most budgetary and quite technologically advanced - with a decent speed of printing a check and an excellent level of compatibility with communication interfaces.

A good option is the ATOL 50F device. Prints receipts quickly, can be adapted to the most common wired and wireless interfaces.

It should be noted that in addition to one-time expenses for the purchase of cash registers, other expenses should be planned - for fiscal drives, which will have to be changed periodically, for paying for the services of a fiscal data operator (approximately 3,000 rubles per year), for a check tape, for additional accounting software (in if necessary), etc.

Summary

So, the "cheap" online cash register is a cash register:

1. Modular type, based on a budget (within 7000 rubles excluding tax) fiscal registrar.

There may be additional costs for the purchase of a computing module - a PC, a mobile gadget to which the registrar will be connected. But it can be a device with the most modest characteristics. It is permissible to connect several fiscal registrars to one computer - if there are free ports (or support for wireless interfaces with the required bandwidth).

1. Relating to autonomous "command-controlled" online cash desks (some of the models of such cash registers can also be bought within 7,000 rubles without FN).

Checkouts of the first and second types are suitable for small shops that are not characterized by queues. The fact is that such "cheap" cash registers have, as a rule, a low check processing speed.

1. Any type within the price of 18,000 rubles - which can be included in the IP deduction for PSN or UTII.

The third category can also include traditionally expensive cash register gadgets, advanced fiscal registrars - with high speed receipt printing and support for many interfaces - both wired and wireless.

In all cases, the cost of the fiscal accumulator should be added to the cost of the cash register - 7-11 thousand rubles. It can also be included in the calculation of the tax deduction for individual entrepreneurs on UTII or PSN.

What is a fiscal storage for? To whom and for how long to buy it? Where to buy FN and how to work with it? Why can it be blocked and how to re-register the fiscal drive? With the introduction of 54-FZ, entrepreneurs have many questions regarding working with this device. Look for answers and explanations to them in this article.

What is a fiscal storage?

The fiscal drive for the online cash register is an electronic chip installed in the new generation of cash desks. Also, the fiscal drive is a cryptographic device capable of protecting information from unauthorized persons using data encryption.

Replacing ECLZ with a fiscal drive

Functionally, the fiscal drive replaces the "black box" of old cash registers, called EKLZ (electronic control tape protected). The fiscal drive, like the ECLZ, accumulates and encrypts information, but the list of its functions is much wider than that of its predecessor.

First of all, devices differ in the amount of memory. If for ECLZ it was about 4 mb, then for the fiscal drive it is 64 times more and is already 256 mb.

Important! Since mid-2017, the fiscal drive has completely replaced the ECLZ and fiscal memory in cash registers.

Distinctive features of the fiscal drive:

1. It has the function of signing checks with the electronic signature of the entrepreneur (the function is provided for the absence of the possibility of forging a check);
2. Since the fiscal drive is a cryptographic tool, before transferring data, all information goes through the encryption process, which excludes the possibility of using information by unauthorized persons;
3. The fiscal drive of the online cash register is able to decrypt messages from the fiscal data operator;
4. Just like ECLZ, the fiscal drive stores all information about shifts, cashiers and checks, however, in addition, FN also collects information about the list of goods sold;
5. The information collected by the fiscal drive is automatically transferred to the tax office after each transaction is completed.

Important! The fiscal accumulator must be changed once every 13, 15 or 36 months, depending on the taxation system.

The fiscal accumulator can be replaced by the store owner himself, although you can also use the help of a CTO employee.

Strict requirements are imposed on the fiscal drive:

1. Mandatory sealing of the device case;
2. Storage of the drive after the expiration of its life should not last less than five years;
3. If the intermediary of data transfer to the tax office (OFD) within thirty days does not receive information about transactions performed through the online cash register, the fiscal drive will be automatically blocked.

In 2018, the period of the first replacement of fiscal drives in online cash registers, which were installed in 2017, begins. This procedure raises a number of questions from the owners of online cash registers. Read our article about how to replace FN, about possible causes and methods of replacement.

What is a fiscal storage for?

The fiscal accumulator is the third generation of devices designed to improve the process of state control of business and, first of all, control over its revenue.

The first two were fiscal memory and ECLZ. Both the first and second inventions were positioned by state authorities. control as a device that excludes external influence, which was supposed to preserve the originality of information about all transactions carried out at the cash desk.

However, the state did not take into account such a feature of Russians as the ability to think extremely creatively and creatively in emergency or critical situations (this is how any attempt by state bodies to strengthen control over entrepreneurs' revenues is perceived).

This feature is especially often manifested when there is a burning desire to circumvent the law.

Since the digital and IT sphere is also developing in the ranks of craftsmen, a program was written very soon, with the help of which the ECLZ is turned off, and at the end of the cash register shift, the cashier calmly reduces debit with credit by editing cash receipts.

Naturally this program was in great demand among entrepreneurs. However, not everything is as sunny as it might seem:

1. Firstly, to install this program, it was necessary to make changes to the internal firmware of the cash register, which could not go unnoticed if checked by a competent specialist;
2. Secondly, any generated check will in fact be a fake, which will become known if it is verified;
3. Thirdly, over time, the operational authorities began to pay special attention to points with "black cash desks", as you might guess, for the merchant, the matter did not end with a warning in this case.

However, needless to say, the people in Russia are not shy, and the software created by the geniuses of the "black market" was wildly popular, which was one of the reasons for the transition to the new generation of cash desks.

In the fiscal drive, the data encryption algorithm is thought out very seriously. There is also no possibility of falsifying information for the reason that the data is transmitted online.

That is, the entrepreneur simply will not have time to make adjustments. The installation of “left” software is also excluded in the first place by the fact that the body of the fiscal drive of the online cash register must be sealed.

When and to whom to start using the fiscal accumulator?

The timing of the start of using the fiscal accumulator directly depends on the timing of the transition of businessmen to the use of new generation cash registers:

1. From July 1, 2017, online cash registers with a fiscal drive should be used by businessmen working in trade, on the simplified tax system, and OSNO and previously using cash registers;
2. From July 1, 2018, entrepreneurs using special taxation systems in organizations - patent, UTII - switched to the cash registers of a new generation, and, accordingly, to the use of a fiscal drive. Also, enterprises issuing BSO will switch to online cash desks.

Do I need to change the FN version to switch to FFD 1.05?

To date, there are two versions of fiscal drives:

• FN 1;
• FN 1.1.

The versions differ from each other in what fiscal data formats (FFD) they work with.

Fiscal data format is a way to reflect fiscal data on cash receipt. Fiscal data includes information about the point of sale, the details of the seller, the sign of the check, the location of the point of sale, etc.

According to the law, fiscal data must be in a strictly approved format and cannot be changed on someone's initiative.

The data format is important in the formation of any cash reporting:

• creation of forms characterized by strict reporting;
• creation of reports on the closing or opening of a cash register shift of an outlet;
• reports generated during the registration or re-registration of cash registers;
• reports that are generated at the time of closing the fiscal accumulator.

Based on the goals of the law “On the use of cash registers”, it can be seen that the state focuses on real-time data transfer from the seller to the tax service through an intermediary - OFD.

There is a huge amount of information being transferred, and with the onset of the deadline for the transition (currently July 1, 2019), its volumes will only increase.

In order to maximally unify the type of transmitted information and simplify the entire procedure, fiscal data formats are created.

There are currently two valid fiscal data formats:

• version 1.0;
• version 1.05.

Important! Another version of the 1.1 format is in development. Its launch is scheduled for January 2019.

The versions differ from each other by the details that are indicated in the strict reporting forms, and the structure, following which the information is entered into the document.

As usual, in the development of any devices and software for them - the higher the version, the higher the quality of the product.

If you are the owner of an online store, try the Business.Ru Online Checks web service, which fully complies with Federal Law 54-FZ, supports FFD versions 1.05 and 1.1, and is guaranteed to send electronic checks to your customers.

FFD version 1.0

He is the founder of a series of formats. It was developed based, for the most part, on theory. Accordingly, all the improvements made to the subsequent version appeared by trial and error.

A cash desk employee often could not perform an elementary operation, such as making an advance payment at the cash desk (such a need could arise if a deposit was supposed to be paid for a product or service).
