YOU RF: PI not required to keep a cash book

Good news for Russian IP.
Some banks tried to require cash documents for verification from the IP. Some tax inspectorates fined the SP for the lack thereof.
But today the Supreme Arbitration Court made a decision: the PIs are not required to keep cash books .

The essence of the matter

Legal entities are required to keep strict cash records: all actions with them are recorded in the cash book, write out receipt / expense orders, and surrender all cash over the limit to the bank. (The limit is set by the bank at the request of the organization.) Also, legal entities must have a specially equipped cashier's office (bars on the windows, safe, etc.).
Some PIs with current accounts received requests from their banks for the cash book, orders and all other documents to be inspected. With their absence, threatened to inform the tax office. Some inspectorates did not miss the opportunity to fine the individual entrepreneur with 5,000 rubles for the lack of documentation.

Appeal in court

Some PIs appealed to the court to cancel the decision of the tax inspectorate. Mostly the courts supported entrepreneurs, but in the North Caucasus Federal District decisions were made in favor of the tax service. One of the cases reached the Supreme Court, and he also decided in favor of the Federal Tax Service.
Some banks have requested at least a written waiver of IP. Some entrepreneurs still made all the necessary documents. Well, someone was lucky at all - the banks did not even ask for anything :)

And today

The Supreme Arbitration Court in a similar case made a decision: the requirements of the tax inspectorate are illegal. Accordingly, we can expect the end of chaos with the requirements of banks and tax inspections. And if you received the requirement, then boldly refuse: the court must take into account the existing practice and will be on your side.

Total

Freelance entrepreneurs can now spend more time on work and less time on unnecessary pieces of paper. And also do not have to pay fines or go to the courts. Minus one cause for concern :)
