12. Registration and accounting of bank settlements with its branches. Control and reconciliation of settlements on correspondent accounts. Maintaining a file of unpaid settlement documents not paid on time due to lack of funds on the correspondent account

Settlements between branches of one bank are made in the manner prescribed by this bank. A special balance account No. 890 can be used, which is called: "Settlements between institutions subordinate to one bank." Settlements between customers who have accounts in one bank institution are carried out by these institutions, bypassing correspondent accounts and intra-bank settlement accounts, by debiting and crediting funds to customer accounts. Commercial banks can organize their own settlement centers to make settlements for the clientele they serve, and carry out operations in them to offset mutual claims. For this purpose, an existing or specially created computer center is used. Non-resident institutions of the bank may be included in the composition of participants in mutual offsets. Commercial banks are allowed to open correspondent sub-accounts in other banks for settlements of their clients.

Reconciliation of settlements on the correspondent account of a commercial bank in the RCC is carried out on a monthly basis on the basis of statements of verification of the status of settlements.

Accounting for settlements with branches

Settlements with branches allocated to a separate balance often raise questions from accountants. For example, how can an organization record the costs associated with the work of a unit, or how to transfer some property to it? In addition, often accountants do not know what taxes branches should report on their own. You will find answers to these questions in our article.

HER. Amarina, expert of AG "RADA"

A branch is a separate subdivision of an organization that is located outside its location and performs its functions. This is indicated in Article 55 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. A branch is not a legal entity. He only receives property from the organization that created it and acts on the basis of the provisions approved by it. To do this, the branch must be indicated in the constituent documents of the organization. The head of the branch is appointed by the head of the head office and acts on the basis of a power of attorney. To account for settlements with branches that are allocated to a separate balance sheet, account 79 “Intra-economic settlements” is used. Depending on the situation, sub-accounts are opened for this account: - 79-1 "Settlements for allocated property"; - 79-2 "Settlements for current operations".

How to transfer property to a branch

Both the parent organization and the branch, in order to account for settlements on allocated property, must open subaccount 79-1 “Settlements on allocated property”. The cost of the property transferred to the branch, the accountant of the head office of the organization must be reflected in the accounting by the following entry: DEBIT 79-1 CREDIT 01 (03, 04, 10, 41…) the initial cost of the property transferred to the branch was written off. When transferring fixed assets, intangible assets, as well as property intended for lease to the branch, it is necessary to reflect the amount of accrued depreciation: DEBIT 02 (05) CREDIT 79-1- the amount of accrued depreciation on property transferred to the branch was written off. The accountant of the branch takes into account the amount of depreciation of property received from the head office by postings: DEBIT 01 (03, 04, 10, 41…) CREDIT 79-1 capitalized property received from the head office of the organization; DEBIT 79-1 CREDIT 02 (05) the amount of depreciation on fixed assets is taken into account, intangible assets and property intended for rent. Please note that value of valuables transferred to a branch for use for non-production purposes is subject to VAT. This is stated in article 146 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. Example 1 Furnitura LLC, headquartered in St. Petersburg, opened a branch in Voronezh and allocated it to a separate balance sheet. The head office handed over to the branch equipment with an initial cost of 72,000 rubles. Depreciation was charged on it - 24,000 rubles. Also, the parent organization transferred part of the finished product to the branch. The balance sheet value of the goods is 42,000 rubles. The accountant of the head office of Furnitura LLC made the following entries: DEBIT 79-1 CREDIT 01- 72,000 rubles - the initial cost of the equipment transferred to the branch was written off; DEBIT 02 CREDIT 79-1 24,000 rubles - the amount of depreciation of the transferred equipment was written off; DEBIT 79-1 CREDIT 41 42,000 rubles - the cost of the goods transferred to the branch was written off. The accountant of the branch made the following entries: DEBIT 01 CREDIT 79-1- 72,000 rubles - the equipment received from the head office of the organization was credited; DEBIT 79-1 CREDIT 02 24,000 rubles - the amount of depreciation of the received equipment is taken into account; DEBIT 41 CREDIT 79-1 42,000 rubles - the value of the goods received from the head office of the organization was credited.

Current settlements with a branch

In addition to property, the parent organization can also transfer cash, costs and funds in settlements (accounts receivable and accounts payable). For such settlements with the branch, a sub-account 79-2 “Settlements on current operations” is opened to account 79. And this should be done by both the parent organization and the branch.

Accounting at the head office of the organization

The transfer of funds to a branch is reflected in the posting: - funds were transferred to a branch allocated to a separate balance sheet. The accountant of the branch must make the same entry in the accounting if he transfers funds to the head office of the organization: DEBIT 79-2 CREDIT 50 (51, 52…)- funds were transferred to the head office of the organization. The expenses incurred by the head office of the organization, but related to the activities of the branch, when transferred to the branch, are reflected in the posting: DEBIT 79-2 CREDIT 20 (25, 26…)- the expenses incurred by the head office of the organization related to the activities of the branch were transferred to the branch. When transferring receivables and payables, the head office will make entries: DEBIT 79-2 CREDIT 62 (76)– receivables transferred to the branch; DEBIT 60 (76) CREDIT 79-2- accounts payable transferred to the branch.

Branch accounting

When receiving money from the parent organization, the accountant of the branch will make a posting: - funds are received from the head office of the enterprise. If the accountant of the head office of the organization receives money from the branch, he must make a similar entry in accounting: DEBIT 50 (51, 52…) CREDIT 79-2- funds received from the branch. Expenses incurred by the head office of the organization, but related to the activities of the branch, are reflected in the accounting of the branch as follows: DEBIT 20 (25, 26…) CREDIT 79-2- expenses incurred by the head office and related to the activities of the branch are taken into account on the balance sheet of the branch. Accounts receivable and accounts payable received by the branch from the head office should be reflected as follows: DEBIT 60 (76) CREDIT 79-2- accounting for accounts receivable; DEBIT 79-2 CREDIT 62 (76)- accounted for accounts payable.

What reports do branches submit?

According to article 19 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, taxes are paid by organizations. Branches only fulfill the obligations of organizations to pay taxes at their location. In addition, they submit tax declarations to the inspectorate so that the tax authorities can check whether payments to the budget are calculated correctly. In some inspectorates, branches are required not only to declare, but also financial statements(balance sheet, income statement, etc.). According to the tax authorities, these documents also help control the calculation of taxes.

income tax return

AT tax office at the location of its location, the branch must submit the following pages of the income tax declaration: - title page. It must indicate the name of the company, its address and the address of the branch, TIN, KPP of the company and its branch, etc.; - Appendix 5a to sheet 2. It calculates the income tax that the branch must pay. This sheet should be stamped by the tax office at the location of the parent organization. Appendix 5a is usually filled in by the accountant of the parent organization. Then he submits it, along with the declaration, to the inspection at the location of the head unit. On this application, the inspector will put a seal, thereby confirming that the information about the tax that the branch must pay is indicated in the general declaration of the organization.

Property tax calculation

If the branch has its own current account and a separate balance sheet, then it must pay property tax. Moreover, the property tax accrued by the branch reduces the tax accrued for the whole organization. To do this, the branch must inform the head office of the organization in advance of the amount of tax on its property. The branches fill out the property tax calculation in accordance with form No. 1152002. It includes: - title page. It indicates the details of both the parent organization and the branch itself; - sheet 2, in which the amount of tax is calculated; - Appendix A1 "Calculation of the value of property for a separate subdivision"; - Appendix B1 "Calculation of the cost of exempt property for a separate subdivision". It can not be handed over if the branch does not have privileged property.

Personal income tax

All firms, when paying personal income tax, act as tax agents. At the same time, organizations that have branches are required to transfer the calculated and withheld amounts of tax both at their location and at the location of their branches. This is indicated in paragraph 7 of Article 226 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. The amount of tax payable by a branch is calculated based on the income of employees of these branches. At the end of the year, branches must report to the tax authorities on the amount of tax accrued. To do this, annually, information on accrued income and withheld personal income tax in the form No. 2-NDFL must be submitted to the tax office. It is filled in for each employee of the branch.

UST and contributions to pension insurance

If a branch pays its employees wages and other remuneration, it must submit a UST declaration to the tax authorities. This is indicated in paragraph 8 of Article 243 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. In addition to it, it is also necessary to prepare a declaration on insurance premiums for compulsory pension insurance. Please note: declarations are filled out in the usual manner, but include only information about payments to employees of branches.

Information about employees in the Pension Fund

Branch accountants must report annually to pension fund. To do this, they must submit to their employees individual information for the past year on the length of service and accrued earnings. At the same time, when filling out the reporting forms, only payments to employees made directly by the branch are taken into account.

In the absence of a correspondent sub-account with the Bank of Russia and correspondent accounts with other credit institutions, the branch conducts all settlement transactions through inter-branch settlement accounts opened in the divisions of the credit institution that have correspondent accounts (sub-accounts) with the Bank of Russia. In addition, a branch may open interbranch settlement accounts in other branches of a credit institution, if this is provided for by the Rules for the Construction and Operation of the Settlement System of a Credit Institution.

The organization and conduct of settlements through the accounts of interbranch settlements (IFR) is regulated by the Regulation of the Bank of Russia dated June 19, 2012 No. 383-P. MFR accounts can be opened in the name of a branch. As a rule, the head bank opens MFR accounts for its branches only in its settlement network, thereby controlling the settlements between branches and the redistribution of resources between them. A bank branch may not have a correspondent sub-account with the Bank of Russia or other banks. In this case, all his own and client settlements are carried out through the MFR account opened on the balance sheet of the head bank.

When opening MFR accounts, the following package of documents is submitted to the head bank:

  • - a card with sample signatures of authorized persons and a seal, certified by the head of the parent bank;
  • - a list of persons entitled to sign settlement documents with an analogue of a handwritten signature;
  • - an agreement on conducting settlement operations on MFR accounts, which determines the mode of operation of the MFR account, the rights and obligations of MFR participants and the responsibility of the parties.

Payments on the accounts of the MFR are made in accordance with the agreement between the participants of the MFR.

In accounting, MFR accounts are reflected on the balance sheet of settlement participants: 30301 - 30302 “Settlements with branches located in Russian Federation". Account 30301 (passive) is used to record outgoing payments, and 30302 (active) is used to record incoming payments. The balance shows the balances of both accounts 30301 and 30302 (statements of accounts 30301 and 30302 are presented to branches separately).

Every day at the end of the trading day for each MFR participant, a single result is displayed for the settlements made during the day, taking into account the incoming account balance at the beginning of the day. At the same time, balancing the balances of personal accounts of different MFR participants is not allowed.

Reconciliation of settlements on the accounts of the MFR is carried out daily, and there should not be a discrepancy in the accounts of the MFR between the two participants in the settlements.

It is necessary to control the sufficiency of funds on the MFR account for making payments during the operating day. To do this, the current position of accounts 30101 and 30102 is determined, i.e. the difference between the current balance of the passive account 30101 and the current balance of the active account 30102, payments on the account must be made within the current position at the time of receipt of the order on the account and taking into account the overdraft limit.

Internal banking rules are drawn up as a separate document, approved by the executive body of the credit institution and must contain:

the procedure for opening, closing and replenishing (increasing the balance of a passive account) accounts for inter-branch settlements;

the procedure for identifying each participant in settlements in the system of interbranch settlements of a credit institution (a system of technical, telecommunication means and organizational measures that ensure the possibility of carrying out settlement transactions between divisions of a credit institution) when making settlements (exchange of cards with sample signatures and a seal imprint, the use of analogues of a handwritten signature in the form codes, passwords, electronic signatures, etc.) ;

a description of the workflow, the procedure for transferring and processing settlement documents when conducting transactions on interbranch settlement accounts, as well as the sequence of documents passing between divisions of a credit institution;

the procedure for forwarding settlement documents;

the procedure for setting the payment transfer date (DPT) when carrying out settlement transactions based on the document flow between the divisions of the credit institution;

the procedure for carrying out settlement operations by subdivisions of the credit institution when redistributing funds;

the procedure for daily reconciliation of settlements between divisions of the credit institution on the accounts of interbranch settlements and on the redistribution of funds;

the procedure for actions of the divisions of the credit institution upon receipt of a settlement document for making a payment later than the established DPP, untimely receipt or non-receipt of confirmation of the settlement transaction due to technical reasons or in connection with the occurrence of force majeure circumstances;

other issues regulating the conduct of settlements within the credit institution.

The general system of interbank settlements includes settlements between branches of one bank, the so-called inter-branch settlements (IFR). The organization of the MFR is associated with making payments through intra-bank settlement systems. On MFR accounts, payments can be made by branches of a credit institution for all banking operations specified in the license issued to it by the Bank of Russia.

An indispensable condition for the organization of the MFR is the development by a bank with branches of an intra-bank document “Rules for building a settlement system of a credit institution”. When preparing this document, the bank is guided by the current legislation and regulations of the Bank of Russia. The rules for constructing the bank's settlement system must be approved by the executive body of the credit institution and contain:

  1. the procedure for opening, closing and replenishing (increasing the balance of a passive account) MFR accounts;
  2. the procedure for identifying each participant in settlements in the MFR system of a credit institution (exchanging cards with sample signatures and a seal imprint, using analogues of a handwritten signature in the form of codes, passwords, electronic signatures, etc.);
  3. a description of the workflow, the procedure for transferring and processing settlement documents when conducting operations on MFR accounts, as well as the sequence of documents passing between divisions of a credit institution;
  4. the procedure for forwarding settlement documents;
  5. the procedure for establishing the date of payment transfer when carrying out settlement transactions based on the document flow between divisions of the credit institution;
  6. the procedure for carrying out settlement operations by subdivisions of the credit institution when redistributing funds;
  7. the procedure for daily reconciliation of settlements between divisions of the Credit Institution on the accounts of the MFR and on the redistribution of funds;
  8. the procedure for actions of the divisions of the credit institution upon receipt of a settlement document for making a payment later than the established DPP, untimely receipt or non-receipt of confirmation of the settlement transaction due to technical reasons or in connection with the occurrence of force majeure circumstances;
  9. other issues regulating the conduct of settlements within the credit institution.

Compliance with the intra-bank rules for organizing settlement transactions between branches of one bank should facilitate the timely processing of payments by clients served and the preparation of a consolidated balance sheet by the head bank, as well as ensure effective management of bank liquidity.

Mutual settlements between branches of a commercial bank are divided into two types. The first type is associated with the movement of resources, and the second type covers all other operations, including settlements, carried out on behalf of clients.

A feature of the MFR is the need for their implementation and reflection in the accounts accounting one calendar date, i.e. payment transfer date(DPP). To identify a participant in the MFR system, each branch of a credit institution must have a unique number containing no more than four characters.

In the absence of a correspondent sub-account with the Bank of Russia and correspondent accounts with other credit institutions, the branch conducts all settlement transactions through MFR accounts opened with divisions of the credit institution that have correspondent accounts (sub-accounts) with the Bank of Russia. In addition, a branch may open MFR accounts in other branches of a credit institution, if this is provided for by the internal bank rules for the construction and operation of the settlement system.

If there are insufficient funds on the account of a division of a credit institution through which payments of this branch are made, its settlement documents are placed in a file cabinet of unpaid settlement documents to a correspondent account (sub-account) of a credit institution (branch) opened with the RCC of the Bank of Russia, since maintaining a file cabinet of unpaid settlement documents to the account of interbranch settlements is not allowed.

Reconciliation of settlements on accounts of interbranch settlements is made on a daily basis on the basis of extracts, which are submitted by branches to the head bank.

Correspondent relations between banks, as noted above, can be carried out directly. AT Russian practice direct interbank settlements are quite widespread.
