Letter of the Ministry of Taxation of the Russian Federation No. ShS-6-14/1201@ of August 7, 2002

Taking into account that advance payment estimate for the uniform social tax meets the criteria of the tax declaration specified in Article 80 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, in case of a failure to submit the mentioned estimate within specified time limit, the taxpayer may bear responsibility for the failure to submit the tax declaration envisaged in Article 119 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.
In judicial practice, if application of Article 119 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation is assumed to be unfounded in this case, the taxpayers may bear responsibility for the failure to submit documents and other information necessary for the tax control (Article 126 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).
Besides, advance payments for the uniform social tax are calculated by employer taxpayers proceeding from the actual financial results of activities. Therefore, responsibility envisaged in Article 122 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation for the failure to pay (incomplete payment) of the tax as a result of reporting periods appears justified.
