Solution for self-employed accountants

The Internet reporting system Kontur.Extern has a special solution for accountants who independently report for customers and pay tax on professional income. SKB Kontur announced this on September 16, 2020.

Such specialists can combine all their organizations for maintenance into one group. This means that the accountant does not need to constantly switch between the accounts of his clients. When entering Extreme, the accountant immediately gets access to the reporting of all organizations that he maintains, controls their reports and payments on one screen, and reconciles with the budget for all companies at once.

When the accountant stops working with the client, he has no difficulties with transferring the reporting archive. He disconnects the company from the group, and the client reissues the certificate and continues to report to government agencies on his own or through another accountant through his account in Extern, where all his documents are stored.

When an accountant purchases software independently, there are disadvantages - the price for outsourcing services is formed from the cost of accountant services and the cost of buying reporting programs. An accountant on a simplified 6% tax system cannot deduct software purchase costs. He pays 6% of all income received, including compensation for the purchase of the program, which means he overpays tax. In the case of External, a self-employed accountant does not need to purchase a system - this is done by the organization that he serves. Therefore, the accountant indicates in the reporting only payment for his work, which means that the tax on professional income will be withheld only from the cost of the accountant's services.

Igor Goldberg, Project Manager Kontur.Extern:

Extreme allows self-employed accountants to solve their work tasks faster without wasting time switching between different accounts. All client reporting before our eyes, which means that the accountant will not miss the important thing - the deadline for submitting the report or the receipt of the next requirement for his clients.

Business Risk Control Service

The Kontur.Extern has a service for controlling business risks. This was announced on September 8, 2020 by SKB Kontur.

Internet reporting system Kontur.Extern now allows you to promptly receive notifications about events that may lead to a blocking of the current account by the tax or a fine.

During the pandemic, the tax authorities did not block bank accounts for violations when submitting reports and exchanging documents with the IFNS. The Government of the Russian Federation approved such measures in a resolution of 02.04.2020 No. 409. However, from July 1, 2020, sanctions in accordance with paragraphs 3 and 3.2 of Article 76 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation are in full force. For example, blocking a current account threatens companies for being late in submitting tax returns for more than 10 days or if an electronic receipt for the receipt of documents from the inspection is not sent.

Now the director and accountant can track risk factors in automatic mode. The Kontur.Extern has a service "Risk Control for Business." He promptly sends messages about critical events, due to which the tax office can block the current account or write a fine. The service also tells how to correct the current situation.

For example, the service will notify you that the last day of reporting has come or that the deadline for sending a receipt or response to a request expires. Also, the organization will immediately find out about the appearance of debt or if it got into one of the registers of the Federal Tax Service.

Evgeny Plotnikov, Head of the Business Risk Control Service

The company may miss the demand for debt repayment or not know that it has entered the register of mass registration addresses. And then, at the right time, she will not be able to transfer money due to account blocking or the counterparty will refuse to cooperate due to signs of unreliability. We have made a service that helps prevent such situations and keep under control all risk factors related to reporting, taxes, requirements and registers of the Federal Tax Service.

This is how Extreme appeared for MacOS, narrated by Artyom Preskaryan, project manager of ContourExtreme

On October 22, 2019, SKB Kontur announced that it is now Kontur in the Internet reporting system. You can register an individual entrepreneur remotely. The service will allow accounting firms to provide a business registration service to their business clients without visits to the tax office.

The number of new individual entrepreneurs is increasing every year. According to the Federal Tax Service, more than 783,000 individual entrepreneurs were registered in 2018, which is 13% more than in 2017. And if as of October 2019, about 19 million people are employed in small businesses, then, according to the plan of the national project, by 2024 this figure will grow to 25 million. Thus, the business registration service will continue to be in demand in the field of accounting outsourcing. Now with the help of External it can be provided directly from the office and not waste time on visiting the inspection.

To register a business from External, you need to prepare an application in the form of a R21001, for example, in the FTS program for nalog.ru, and upload the document to the system. Then attach the applicant's documents: scan copies of the passport and the document confirming the address of the place of residence.

Half of our accounting clients provide business registration services. The presented service will help accountants to cope with this task easier, because they no longer have to go to the tax office and wait in queues to apply. We invite our clients from the field of accounting outsourcing to test this opportunity for free in Extern. IP registration is the first step, in the near future it is planned to add remote registration of other forms of business within the framework of External, "said Igor Goldberg, project manager Kontur Extern.

2016: Kontur.Extern "will form payments from tax returns

SKB Kontur announced in November that subscribers of Kontur.Extern can form a payment order at the stage of verification and sending a tax return to the Federal Tax Service. Usually, an accountant needs to send a tax return on time and pay tax. To do this, he first fills out the declaration form (VAT, Income Tax, EVND, etc.), where he calculates the amount payable to the budget. Then it sends reporting and generates a payment order, where it manually transfers the necessary data from the declaration.

Now in "External" you can generate a payment automatically by clicking on the link "Create payment." Then you only need to specify your bank details - the name of the bank and the number of the current account. The rest of the system will substitute itself: CBK, tax period, payer status and other data. In addition, the bank details of the recipient are pulled into the payment, and the accountant does not need to look for them on his own.

You can go to the creation of a payment order after checking the return, or after sending it to the tax office at all stages of document management.

When the payment order is generated, the user can download it in Word format, then print and pay in the bank, or in the form of a special text file to upload it to the Internet bank.

This is the second opportunity related to the payment of taxes in Kontur.Extern. At the beginning of 2016, the system learned to automatically form payments from claims for the payment of tax, fee, penalty, fine. The user only needs to specify his bank details, all other data will be transferred from the Extreme requirement. This scenario significantly saves time and avoids errors that occur if you enter data manually.

"In the near future, it will be possible to create receipts in Extern in the form of PD (tax) and in the form PD-4sb (tax). With their help, individual entrepreneurs who do not have a settlement account will be able to pay tax. In a few clicks, the user will form the payment document he needs and then go with him to the bank and pay the required amount in cash. Thus, Extern will expand the number of methods of paying tax, "said Eldar Safarov, development manager of Kontur.Extern at SKB Kontur.

2014: Integration with 1C

On April 24, 2014, SKB Kontur announced the development of a reporting module using the Kontur-Extreme system directly from the 1C system.

The module is designed for subscribers who use 1C and do not want to leave this environment and switch to another program to send prepared reports. The module allows you to perform all the work in one program, in the usual interface. It is suitable for 1C: Enterprise 8.2 and version 8.3 of Enterprise Accounting (revision 2.0).

The module simplifies the work of users of the Contour-Extreme system:

• You do not need to save the report on your computer to be uploaded to the system and sent to the tax office.
• With it, you can check the reports generated in 1C;
• if necessary, edit reports in 1C.

At the same time, information about sent reports is saved in the Contour-Extreme system and is available at any time, both from the module and in the system itself.

2012

As of the beginning of 2012, the tax reporting system Internet through Kontur-Extreme has more than a million subscribers. It is possible to integrate these services with the cloud systems of other providers. One example of such integration is the well-known "Contour 365" comprehensive offering, which includes Elba and Office 365 services.

SKB Kontur announced in May 2012 that users of the Kontur-Extreme system had the opportunity to find out the financial condition of a competitor or counterparty.

Users of the Contour-Extreme system can check counterparties in Contour-Focus. But earlier in the service it was possible to find only information directly obtained from official sources (Unified State Register of Legal Entities and Unified State Register of Legal Entities, State Register, Rosstat accounting reporting bases). Now Contour-Focus has learned to draw conclusions about the financial condition of companies based on the financial statements. A new opportunity appeared thanks to the integration of "Contour-Focus" with the financial analysis service "Expert."

Subscribers of Kontur-Eksterna will be able to submit to the tax documents on demand in electronic form

SKB Kontur announced the first steps in integrating two business solutions: the Diadoc SaaS service - a system for exchanging electronic documents - and the company's main product - the Kontur-Extreme electronic reporting system.

The integration is designed to fully automate the user's work with electronic documents. Having connected to both services, very soon the user will be able in one system not only to send and accept electronic documents from counterparties, but also to form a tax return on their basis and send documents to the IFTS at the request of the tax authority as part of a desk or counter-check, stressed in "SKB Kontur."

At this stage of integration, it became possible to send so-called information messages to the IFTS, which contain the details of the taxpayer organization and are formed on the basis of applications for participation in electronic document management (EDM). According to the procedure governing the exchange of electronic invoices, the organization must send such a statement to its EDO operator (it is automatically formed in Diadoc). In turn, the EDO operator is obliged to form and send through its specialist on the basis of this application within three days. communication operator in the IFTS information message. Diadoc now sends such messages through Kontur-Extreme, and the IFTS already has the technical ability to process them, noted in SKB Kontur. Meanwhile, documents on the request to the Federal Tax Service promise to learn how to accept until the end of summer, the company said.

"We have

taken a course towards implementing a'single window' for business. The company will have the opportunity not only to submit tax reports in electronic form, but also to perform all the actions necessary for this with electronic documents, without switching to another service, which will be achieved by full integration of systems, "said Anton Sizov, project manager at Diadoc SKB Kontur.

Users of the Contour-Extreme system can now, in response to an electronic requirement, form an inventory, attach electronic documents (or scanned images of paper documents) unloaded from the EDM system to it and send a full package to the IFTS via the Internet. Moreover, all subscribers of Kontur-Eksterna have become full-fledged users of the Diadoc EDO system: they can sign electronic documents with existing certificates of electronic signatures and exchange them with each other and any other organizations already working at Diadoc. And information about new incoming documents is displayed in the system notification window next to the electronic reporting news.

SKB Kontur was included in the list of trusted operators of electronic legally significant document management in 2012. The need to integrate B2G- and B2B interaction systems in the company was already mentioned at the beginning of 2011, when the Order of the Federal Tax Service of Russia dated 17.02.2011 No. MMV-7-2/168 @ approved the procedure for submitting documents at the request of the tax authority. The impetus for active development in this direction was the technical ability to accept documents in electronic form that appeared on the side of all IFTS at the end of 2012.

"When a client has to work with the same documents in different systems, it is at least inconvenient. Therefore, the integration of the EDO system and the Internet reporting system is now a priority for us, "commented Eduard Shifman, head of the Electronic Document Management strategic direction at SKB Kontur.

Possibility for subscribers of Kontur-Extreme system to exchange electronic primary documents

The entire client base of legal entities of the special operator for the submission of tax reports (more than half a million companies) received access to the system for the exchange of electronic legally significant documents "Diadoc," developed by "SKB Kontur."

For each legal entity-subscriber of the "Contour-Extreme" system, a personal account was created in "Diadoc," the activation of which occurs at the first login and takes less than a minute. For branches of organizations, login will be possible after activating the personal account of the head department. The provision of subscribers with electronic document management was carried out as part of the integration of two systems: soon, through the Externa channel, documents can be submitted to the IFTS for verification in electronic form.

"New opportunities for electronic interaction - not only with government agencies, but also in the B2B sector - meet the course of our company's development: to minimize the number of paper documents in Russia. To sign electronic documents, you must have an electronic signature certificate. Such certificates are used by all subscribers of the Kontur-Extreme system to sign tax reports, so it is quite logical to provide them with the opportunity to sign any other electronic documents. In order for users to be able to assess the convenience of electronic document management, we do not charge the first 400 electronic documents, "commented Anton Sizov, head of the Diadoc project at SKB Kontur.

2011

In 2011, several important changes took place in the Contour-Extreme system. First of all, the subscribers of the system have the opportunity to send tax and financial statements banks to (this is necessary if the company receives a loan). In addition, customers who use electronic digital signature certificates issued by the Certification Center (SKB Kontur and most of them) can now update them directly to Contour-Extreme without leaving the workplace. Finally, an important innovation was the web drive - an accessible Internet and regularly updated store of programs necessary to work in Contour-Extreme. With its help, the accountant can prepare his computer in one click for the correct filling and sending of reports. It is possible that in the future the company will be able to abandon ordinary disks altogether and thereby make the work of accountants even more convenient. At the end of 2011, the system is already used by more than 950 thousand enterprises throughout. Russia

2010

In 2010, the most famous product of SKB Kontur, the Kontur-Extreme electronic reporting system, celebrated its tenth anniversary. The user base of the system increased by 13%. The increase in the number of new connections is directly related to legislative reforms: the replacement of ESN with insurance contributions to the Pension Fund, as well as the transfer of FSS reporting to electronic form.

In general, in 2010, quite fierce competition continued in the electronic reporting market. In this regard, SKB Kontur closely monitored the financial health of customers and made appropriate adjustments to its tariffs. Much attention was paid to the expansion of the Kontur-Extreme functionality. So, since 2010, in addition to the tax service, the Pension Fund and Rosstat, reports through Kontur-Extreme can be sent to the Social Insurance Fund. In addition, new useful services for customers have been added to the system. One of them - "Expert" - allows you to assess the risk of a tax audit of an enterprise according to the criteria approved by the order of the Federal Tax Service.

Clients of the system are many state and municipal institutions of Russia, large enterprises and banks. The development of the Kontur-Extreme system involves state regulatory bodies - tax and tax inspectorates, branches of the Pension Fund, branches of Rosstat.
