The Pension Fund incorrectly transferred the data to the tax office. On the transfer of balances to the tax authorities

From 02/01/2017, in connection with the transfer of the functions of administering insurance premiums to the tax authorities, the PFR Branch in the Chelyabinsk Region (hereinafter referred to as the PFR Branch) is transferring balances on insurance premiums for compulsory pension and compulsory medical insurance to the Federal Tax Service in the Chelyabinsk Region for further debt collection.

In accordance with the approved procedure for the exchange of information between the territorial branches of the Pension Fund of Russia and the departments of the Federal Tax Service for the constituent entities of the Russian Federation dated September 21, 2016 No. ММВ-23-1/20/4Н, the transfer of information between the two departments is carried out at the regional level.

At present, the automatic transfer of balances for insurance premiums has been completed. At the same time, there is a need to adjust the data submitted to the tax authorities.

The joint letter of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation and the Federal Tax Service dated 09/06/2017 No. NP-30-26/13859/ZN-4-22/17710@ regulates the procedure for interaction between the two departments when questions arise about adjusting the transmitted information (hereinafter - the Procedure for interaction), which comes into force after the exchange formats are approved and the software is finalized. To date, the specified Procedure for interaction has not entered into force. If it is necessary to adjust balances, data is uploaded upon requests from payers.

An analysis of the consideration of payers' appeals showed that there are problems both on the side of the Pension Fund of Russia and on the side of the tax authorities. Most of the requests are due to the fact that the tax authorities do not reflect the information from the transferred files on payments made by payers in 2016 in the budget settlement card. As a result, the payer is sent a demand for payment of a non-existent debt and funds are written off from current accounts.

Currently, an agreement has been reached between the departments to take the maximum possible measures to resolve the situation in the event of incorrectly transmitted (received) data.

When payers apply to the territorial bodies of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, after reconciliation of settlements with the payer, a certificate of the status of settlements is issued, certified by the seal and signature of the head, which confirms the fact that there is no debt. If it is presented, the territorial tax authorities of the region suspend the collection procedure within the preemptive deadlines.

When payers contact the tax authorities, a detailed analysis will be carried out on the availability and correctness of information transmitted from the Pension Fund Branch. If necessary, without redirecting the payer between departments, the Federal Tax Service for the Chelyabinsk Region will send a request to the Pension Fund Branch to adjust balances on insurance premiums.

After implementing the Procedure for interaction on all requests from payers, if necessary, a Decision on adjustment will be made, which will be sent to the Federal Tax Service in the Chelyabinsk region to bring the calculation data into line with the budget.

Pension Fund specialists and tax authorities have come to an agreement on how they will correct errors that arose during the transfer of balances on insurance contributions for compulsory pension insurance and compulsory health insurance, penalties and fines accrued as of 01/01/2017 (Letters of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation dated 09/06/2017 No. NP-30-26/13859, Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation No. ZN-4-22/17710@, Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation dated September 15, 2017 No. 02-11-10/06-02-3959P, Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation No. ZN-4 -22/18490@).

Many taxpayers are faced with the fact that errors arose when transferring the balance of insurance premiums, penalties and fines from the Federal Insurance Service of the Russian Federation and the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation. In accordance with the provisions of Federal Law No. 243-FZ dated July 3, 2016, a procedure for interaction between branches of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation and branches of the Social Insurance Fund with the Federal Tax Service in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation was developed.

In accordance with this procedure, the Funds provide for the transfer by the Funds to the Offices of the Federal Tax Service of Russia for the constituent entities of the Russian Federation of the balance of settlements of the payer of insurance premiums with the Fund’s budget strictly as of 01/01/2017. The specified balance should not include the amounts of additional accruals for settlements for 2016, since in accordance with Federal Law No. 212-FZ dated July 24, 2009 established the deadline for payment of the insurance premium for December 2016 as January 15, 2017.

However, in practice, when tax authorities accepted information, cases were identified in the balance as of January 1, 2017, of amounts subject to additional accrual based on the results of calculations for 2016.

In addition, insurance premium payers discovered other errors.

At the same time, tax authorities collected non-existent arrears from companies through collection. Attempts to settle the balance with the tax authorities led nowhere. According to explanations from tax officials, tax authorities do not have the right to independently make changes to the composition of the information received.
In order to accurately reflect the state of payers’ settlements as of January 1, 2017, tax authorities have the right to correct identified deficiencies in the “Settlements with the Budget” cards only after the Fund has submitted updated information (Letter of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation dated March 15, 2017 No. ЗН-4-1 /4593@).

Thus, in case of disagreement with the balance of calculations for insurance premiums as of 01/01/2017, transferred by the Fund, the payer could only contact the appropriate branch of the Fund, since the tax authorities did not administer insurance premiums for periods before 01/01/2017.

The Pension Fund of the Russian Federation and the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation, in order to resolve issues regarding the adjustment of information transmitted by the territorial bodies of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation to the tax authorities, on the amounts of insurance contributions for compulsory pension and compulsory health insurance, penalties and fines accrued as of 01/01/2017, developed recommendations on the procedure for interaction between branches Pension Fund and tax authorities when adjusting the specified information. That is, now the document clearly states the procedure and actions of the policyholder and the insurer to adjust the balance of insurance premiums formed as of 01/01/2017 (Letters of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation dated 09/06/2017 No. NP-30-26/13859, Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation No. ZN -4-22/17710@, Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation dated September 15, 2017 No. 02-11-10/06-02-3959P, Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation No. ЗН-4-22/18490@).

How and within what time frame is the balance on insurance premiums settled?

According to the new clarifications, the policyholder has the right to address the issue of adjusting the balance of insurance premiums both to the Funds and to the tax office.

How will the exchange of information take place between the territorial branches of the Pension Fund and the Federal Tax Service in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation?

The exchange of information between the branches of the Pension Fund and the Federal Tax Service in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation is carried out electronically at the regional level.

Correction of information transmitted by the territorial bodies of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation to the tax authorities is carried out in the following cases:

disagreement of the payer of insurance premiums with the balance of settlements (when the payer of insurance premiums applies to the tax authority or to the territorial body of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation);
the need to clarify information submitted to the tax authority in the event that the territorial body of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation identifies facts of incorrect sending of data to the tax authority as of 01/01/2017.

A company and an individual entrepreneur who do not agree with the amount of the transferred balance on insurance premiums have the right to submit an application for its adjustment not only to the Funds, but also to the tax office.

Algorithm for interaction between the Funds and the tax inspectorate when applying for a balance adjustment to the tax authority:

the policyholder submits an application to the tax authority at the place of his registration to adjust the balance;
the tax authority at the place of registration of the payer sends, through the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation, to the appropriate branch of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation and the Social Insurance Fund, a request accompanied by a copy of the payer’s application no later than three working days from the date of receipt of the payer’s application to the tax authority;
The funds make a decision to adjust the balance taking into account the norms contained in Article 12 of the Federal Law of May 2, 2006 No. 59-FZ “On the procedure for considering appeals from citizens of the Russian Federation” no later than 20 working days from the date of receipt of the appeal.

In order to determine the need to correct information, the territorial body of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation must carry out the following activities:

reconcile the status of settlements with the payer (if there is a request from the payer);
analyze the reliability and completeness of the transmitted information on calculations, updated calculations and decisions based on the results of on-site and desk audits.

Tax officials, based on decisions made by the Pension Fund branches on the amounts of settlement balances for insurance premiums, penalties and fines, adjust the balance in the budget settlement card.

The period for making changes by the tax authorities to the balance in the taxpayer’s card should not exceed 7 working days from the date of receipt of the relevant information from the Funds.

Thus, it will take 30 working days for tax authorities to adjust the balance of calculations for insurance premiums.

However, in practice, the period may be delayed. The electronic exchange format between the Funds and tax authorities is given in Letters of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation dated 09/06/2017 No. NP-30-26/13859, Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation No. ЗН-4-22/17710@, FSS of the Russian Federation dated 09.15.2017 No. 02- 11-10/06-02-3959P, Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation No. ЗН-4-22/18490@.

If, as a result of sending corrected information for the payer, the settlement balance for all, one or several BCCs is reset to zero, or the payer of insurance premiums does not have data on this BCC, the value “0” in the context of the BCC is subject to transfer to the tax authority.

If the policyholder submits an application directly to the Funds, he will save three business days. But then the tax authorities, in the event of an erroneously reported arrears of insurance premiums, penalties and fines, can issue a claim or write it off for collection.

The transfer of incorrect balances on insurance premiums to the tax authorities led to the fact that a lot of companies overnight turned into malicious debtors on premiums. The tax authorities themselves enthusiastically began to block the accounts of the “arrears.”

Our client, a large brokerage company, found himself in this situation. The total amount of funds “frozen” in his accounts amounted to 120 million rubles. Although in reality the company had overpaid contributions.

It all started with the fact that the company received a demand from the Federal Tax Service that it had arrears in contributions to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation in the amount of 6 million rubles. While the company was trying to get a certificate from the Pension Fund about the status of settlements with the budget in order to make sure that there were no arrears, the Federal Tax Service blocked first one, and literally after one or two days - all 20 current accounts. The company's activities were paralyzed.

Important!

Let us remind you that from January 1, 2017, all contributions are administered by the Federal Tax Service; accordingly, the Federal Tax Service Inspectorate issues arrears on contributions. However, when transferring balances from the Pension Fund to the Federal Tax Service, the data upload was incorrect, as a result of which accruals for companies were doubled and an “artificial” arrears arose.

In total, the amount frozen on all our client’s accounts amounted to 120 million rubles!

The situation was aggravated by the fact that the company is a large broker, that is, the tax authorities paralyzed the work of the company’s clients who carry out transactions on the stock exchange through these brokerage accounts.

Due to the blocking of accounts, our client suffered huge reputational losses and was forced to apply for loans from the bank in order to smooth out the dissatisfaction of its clients - to reimburse them for part of the funds that turned out to be unavailable due to the blocking of the company's accounts.

While reconciliation with the Pension Fund is underway, the Federal Tax Service is blocking the account

What is the difficulty of interacting with the Pension Fund? You can carry out reconciliations with the Federal Tax Service and the Social Insurance Fund and request all statements and certificates via telecommunication channels. The Pension Fund of the Russian Federation does not have such an opportunity. You need to go to the Pension Fund in person and submit a letter requesting a reconciliation. Fund employees can process this request within a month. A month later you need to go to the fund again and pick up the reconciliation report. Roughly speaking, it will take more than a month to receive the reconciliation report alone. Moreover, it is impossible to reach them by phone, so to maintain communication, you need to go to the Pension Fund in person, “call” employees on internal phones, or send a courier, etc. While companies are trying to find out the “nature” of the arrears that have arisen and make sure that there is no debt, the Federal Tax Service is blocking the account.

Algorithm of actions from a 1C-WiseAdvice lawyer

It became clear that the problem could not be solved without a competent lawyer, and we immediately involved a specialist with extensive experience in “communicating” and resolving conflicts with various government agencies.

The lawyer studied the regulations on the issue of unjustified blocking of accounts, judicial practice (which, by the way, in similar situations - when the Federal Tax Service blocks an account due to an erroneous debt from the Pension Fund - has not yet developed) and proposed an optimal algorithm for resolving the issue, which ultimately turned out to be effective.

Collapse with transfer of balances from the Pension Fund to the Federal Tax Service

The problem is widespread; a huge number of companies and individual entrepreneurs are faced with it. And all because the Pension Fund was unable to organize the correct upload of data to the Federal Tax Service. But none of the victims were able to find a way to solve the problem, because the procedure for interaction between the funds and the tax office on this issue at the state level is “lame.”

The Pension Fund needed to upload an electronic file with the correct balances of contributions to the Federal Tax Service, but they did not have software that allows uploading it, and the Pension Fund responded to all letters from taxpayers asking them to sort it out in writing, saying that it was allegedly technically possible to fulfill policyholder's requirement, no. That is, the fund’s employees honestly admitted that incorrect information was transmitted to the Federal Tax Service, but they cannot do anything about it. This was their official response to all requests from “debtors”.

The tax authorities, in turn, referred to the fact that they have internal regulations, and until the Pension Fund sends them the correct data in electronic form, they cannot do anything about the non-existent debt - this is such a vicious circle.

Our lawyer said that conducting such official endless correspondence with the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation is pointless. And he proposed his own algorithm for solving the problem.

1. Pre-trial appeal of the inspection decision to the Federal Tax Service

When a company writes to the state. the authority through the Circuit (sends some requests) - this appeal does not have any legal consequences. Inspectorate or fund employees may respond within 30 days from the date of receipt of the message.

Our goal is to speed up the review process and thereby gain time. How can I do that? The only sure way is to file a complaint against the inspector’s decision through the pre-trial appeal procedure.

Pre-trial appeal is a mandatory procedure. Without it, the company cannot immediately file a claim in court.

The complaint is submitted to a higher tax authority. That is, if we complain about an illegal action of the inspectorate, the complaint is filed with the Tax Service Department (in our case we are talking about the unjustified blocking of an account by the Moscow inspectorate, which means the complaint must be filed with the Federal Tax Service Department for Moscow).

Everything is logical: if the tax inspectorate, based on incorrect data, makes some decision, including making a demand and blocking the company’s accounts, then it is liable under civil law for the losses that its decision may bring to the taxpayer.

The period for consideration of a complaint by the Federal Tax Service of Russia is 15 days.

Why is it so important to write a complaint correctly?

Letters and various appeals can be composed in free form. However, a complaint to the Tax Service must be drawn up in a certain form, in compliance with a number of requirements for style and content, using certain wording.

Our lawyer drew up a competent complaint about the illegal blocking of the account. In addition, to the complaint to the Federal Tax Service we attached a package of documents that proved that the company correctly calculated contributions and paid them on time - a report on contributions and payment slips. From the attached documents it was clear that the accrued and paid amounts matched, and there was no arrears.

Thus, we proved the unjustified use of measures - issuing a demand for payment and subsequent blocking of the current account. They also made it clear that we have all the evidence, and our next step will be to go to court.

Over many years of work, our company has acquired invaluable experience in “communication” with government agencies. And we have a clear idea of what package of documents to submit to this or that body, what papers are evidence. Our lawyers have also become skilled at drafting complaints.

And one more important point: we deliver all complaints personally to save time and make sure they are received.

2. Drawing up a complaint to the Pension Fund

In parallel with the complaint to the Federal Tax Service, we sent complaints to the Pension Fund Office for Moscow and the Moscow Region, that is, not to the Pension Fund division that incorrectly sent the data on our client to the Federal Tax Service, but to a higher authority. This is also important, it saved us a lot of time.

The response time for the Pension Fund is one month.

The Pension Fund has not yet practiced this situation. And moreover, neither the Pension Fund nor the Federal Tax Service gave any uniform procedure for action in this situation. In the fund, each department and even each employee in the same department saw this situation differently.

After spending several days “under the doors” of the Pension Fund and the Federal Tax Service, we saw that there were a lot of victims from incorrect data transfer. Everyone is hysterical, and the Pension Fund branches have posted guards and are not letting anyone in.

Therefore, to be honest, we did not hope to receive a response from the Pension Fund of Russia that would help us solve the client’s problem. But it was important for us to get this answer on paper in order to go to court with this document.

Oddly enough, the answer from the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation came quickly, and it was sent both to the company itself and to the Federal Tax Service in Moscow. Fund employees admitted that, indeed, the balances are positive, and the company does not have any arrears. However, they cannot help in any way, since they do not have the technical ability to send the correct electronic file to the inspection. In the attachment to the letter, the “pensioners” provided a table with the correct balances. And at the end of the letter, the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation turns to the Federal Tax Service with a request to take this data into account. The latter, as mentioned above, was impossible without correct electronic information.

3. Preparation of a complaint to the Prosecutor's Office

To be on the safe side, our lawyer also wrote a complaint to the Prosecutor’s Office about the inaction of the pension fund. And he attached the “cheerful” response from the Pension Fund as proof that the fund’s employees are not only inactive, but also unsubscribe that they will not do anything.

The response time from the prosecutor's office is one month. We began to wait and at the same time began to prepare for filing an appeal to the court...

Important!

We sent complaints to various authorities, in which we complained about various actions and inactions of employees of the Pension Fund and the Federal Tax Service, rather than rewriting the same thing word for word.

Our evidence turned out to be stronger than internal regulations

Now, looking back, we can safely say that the situation was saved by a well-drafted complaint to the Federal Tax Service. The tax authorities understood perfectly well that the company was right and had all the documents to prove that it was right, and if the case went to court, the inspectors would have to be held accountable for the illegal blocking of accounts. That is, the tax department was also “motivated” to quickly resolve the conflict in order to avoid litigation and financial losses.

Important!

If the decision to suspend transactions on accounts was made unlawfully, the tax office is obliged to pay interest to the organization. They are charged at the refinancing rate for each calendar day of illegal suspension of account transactions. Interest is accrued on the entire amount suspended in the account.

As it turned out later, at the direction of the Federal Tax Service, inspectors “manually” corrected the balance of our client’s contributions based on a table from a “paper” letter from the Pension Fund (although this seems to contradict their internal regulations). Soon after this, the Kontur company received a message from the Federal Tax Service that a decision had been made to cancel the blocking of accounts.

This is how, without any official explanations on the current situation and contrary to the internal regulations of interaction between the Pension Fund and the Federal Tax Service, we were able to protect the interests of our client. We managed not only to collect a convincing evidence base for tax authorities, but also to correctly formalize our “approach” to the Federal Tax Service - brilliantly draw up complaints and submit them to the necessary authorities.

The tax authorities satisfied our complaint - we won!

Important!

The UNFS scared everyone with its internal regulations, which, as it turned out, have no legal force, unlike the evidence base that taxpayers have. But it is important to be able to “present it beautifully.”

Unfortunately, most companies in such situations send their accountants to deal with the Federal Tax Service and funds. But one, even a highly qualified specialist, cannot solve the problem. This requires well-coordinated teamwork - accountants, accountants, lawyers. This is exactly how everything works in 1C-WiseAdvice.

Now we can safely say: we have a solution that has been worked out in practice - how to act, to whom and what to write, if the tax authorities have blocked an account due to a non-existent arrears in the Pension Fund.

Starting from January 1, 2017, insurance contributions to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, the Social Insurance Fund of the Russian Federation, the Federal Compulsory Medical Insurance Fund, as well as insurance premiums established by the Tax Code of the Russian Federation are administered by the Federal Tax Service. These powers are transferred to the tax authorities by Federal Law No. 243-FZ dated July 3, 2016 “On Amendments to Parts One and Two of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation...”.

A pressing issue for payers today is the issue of debt or overpayment of contributions that arose for reporting periods before 01/01/2017 - what to do, where to go and who to contact. For the attention of payers - at the moment, tax authorities are working with data (balances) received electronically from funds as of 01/01/2017.

In this case, it is necessary to pay special attention to the fact that the issues of debt and overpayment of contributions arising for reporting periods before 01/01/2017 must be resolved by payers of contributions with the funds. This problem is typical not only for our region, but also for the whole country. And, in order to avoid infringement of the rights and legitimate interests of contribution payers, as well as in order to coordinate further joint actions, all three departments - the Pension Fund, the Social Insurance Fund and the Tax Service - at the federal level signed a triple agreement on the actions of employees when facts of disagreement are established payers with balance amounts transferred by funds to the tax authorities. In this case, the funds must carry out reconciliation activities and send corrected information on balances to the tax authorities within 3 days.

The scheme of your actions in this case is simple: if, when contacting the tax authorities, in order to obtain a certificate of fulfillment of the obligation, it is established that there are arrears in contributions for reporting periods before 01/01/2017 and with which you do not agree, then you must:

1.Submit a written request to the funds to conduct a reconciliation and confirm the presence/absence of arrears in contributions;

2. If the fact of the existence of debt is not confirmed, submit to the tax authority an information letter from the funds about the absence of debt for reporting periods before 01/01/2017. This measure is necessary to temporarily suspend the forced collection of “debt” until the tax authorities receive corrected data on balances as of 01/01/2017.

3. After a certain period of time (in this case from 10 to 12 days), check with the tax authority about the absence of debt, i.e. receive a final certificate of fulfillment of duty.

As for the overpayment, in this case you also need to contact the funds with an application for the return of the overpayment and, if confirmed, the funds make a decision on the return and send it to the tax authorities at the place of your registration for processing in order to return the funds to the current account .

It should be taken into account that federal law does not provide for the adoption of decisions on the offset of overpaid amounts for overpayments for reporting periods before 01/01/2017 against accruals for the current year. The only way out is to return the remaining overpayments on the “old” contributions and pay the debt on the “new” contributions.

In addition, it should be noted that when transferring debt for “old” contributions and for transferring “new” contributions for 2017 and subsequent years, different budget classification codes apply; details are on the website of the Federal Tax Service of Russia www.site.

There has again been a wave of complaints about unlawful demands for payment of insurance premiums for periods before 2017. Both organizations and individual entrepreneurs complain.

The fact is that in July there was another transfer of data from the funds to the tax office. As a result, even those payers who had no problems at the beginning of the year suddenly discovered that they were debtors. Moreover, we can talk about both insignificant amounts and hundreds of thousands and even millions of rubles.

What is going on

And the administration of insurance premiums is being transferred from extra-budgetary funds (PFR and Social Insurance Fund) to the Federal Tax Service.

The federal law on the change of administrator was adopted on July 3, 2016 (243-FZ). He introduced a new chapter “Insurance premiums” into the Tax Code, and from January 1, 2017, insurance premiums (except for injuries) must be paid to the tax inspectorates.

But in order for the tax authorities to match the debit with the credit for each contribution payer, they need to receive data from the funds at the end of the year, i.e. find out who owes whom and how much.

And here there was a complete failure of interdepartmental exchange, which is now costing business dearly.

What did the tax authorities promise?

Last November, Russian President Vladimir Putin met with the head of the tax service, Mikhail Mishustin. The country's chief tax officer said that there will be no changes for employers due to the change in the administrator for collecting contributions, except for simplification of reporting. Already in April of this year, Mishustin reported to the President “about the positive dynamics in collecting contributions: in February, the growth in revenues amounted to 104.6%, in March - already 107.1%.”

They also talked about how good it became for employers on TV. In particular, this is discussed in the program of the Rossiya-24 TV channel. In the same program, Bondarchuk stated that, unlike funds, the Federal Tax Service has much more opportunities to collect arrears, penalties and fines on contributions, and the tax authorities are going to increase the receipts of insurance contributions to the budget.

What is the result

Promises remained promises and nothing more. And it’s not even a matter of the ill-conceived form of the DAM, which all accountants swear at, you can somehow survive and overcome it. But fee payers are faced with a state machine of interdepartmental exchange, in front of which they are powerless.

The Pension Fund and the Social Insurance Fund had to transfer the balance on the personal accounts of organizations and individual entrepreneurs received as of January 1, 2017, without taking into account payments for the 4th quarter of 2016, made after the end of 2016 to the tax authorities. It seems to be not such a difficult task, and once upon a time, at the time of the demise of the Unified Social Tax, the tax service was able to transfer data to the funds without scandals with policyholders, however, then there was no such electronic exchange.

Now the data is transferred by uploading from funds to the tax office. And it turns out that the Pension Fund of Russia unloads one thing, and the Federal Tax Service receives another. Those. According to the Pension Fund, there are no debts, but the Federal Tax Service receives huge debts.

Nobody knows who is to blame and what to do! Tax inspectors are sent to Pension Fund branches, where they shrug their shoulders, showing documents stating that the policyholder has no debts, but these documents are not taken into account by the Federal Tax Service inspectors. And organizations/individual entrepreneurs go around in circles, trying to prove that they don’t owe anything.

What accountants and entrepreneurs complain about

Taxpayers are already shouting “guard.”

“The most annoying thing is that in December they paid all the fees so that everything would be zero, because... They assumed that there might be some problems with the transfer of balances. But it never occurred to us that they would cause such chaos for us. And most importantly, there is practically no mechanism to resolve these issues.”

, having exhausted all ways to solve the problem:

“And I have already gone through all the authorities, right up to the Federal Tax Service and the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation - everything is useless. The debt under the Pension Fund and the Compulsory Medical Insurance Fund changes from day to day - yesterday, according to the reconciliation report, they wrote 2.2 million. They say that it doubled and tripled for 2015 and 2016. In fact, the balance is 0... Lawyers are filing a claim with the Pension Fund with the involvement of the Federal Tax Service . They have already withdrawn 500 thousand contributions and penalties from us... The tax office told me yesterday in plain text that even if there is a court decision recognizing a zero balance, there is a letter that they cannot show me, stating that the contributions and penalties withdrawn illegally will not be returned and will not be counted against future payments either... We are going to court anyway,” writes an anonymous user.

“The tax office says it’s the pension’s fault, the pension office says it’s the tax office’s fault. And no one knows what to do...", - .

The Federal Tax Service and the Pension Fund are silent

The leadership of the Federal Tax Service and the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation does not publicly address the problem and does not provide any explanations. Although they cannot not know about what is happening. From time to time, letters appear telling you how and where to pay or how to return fees, including those collected illegally. But only.

Since information is lacking, rumors begin to multiply. In particular, that there will be no more unloadings from the Pension Fund, so what was transferred will remain with the payers. Or that the Pension Fund has an unspoken directive not to return anything to anyone without a trial, etc.

But, most likely, in the near future the Federal Tax Service will again report on an increase in insurance premiums. Why shouldn’t they grow if non-existent million-dollar debts are being collected?

In conclusion, we note that billions of rubles have been invested in the software of both the Federal Tax Service and the Pension Fund. Those same rubles that the taxpayers of our country paid and which are now so shamelessly robbed.
