Currency control. The Central Bank canceled the transaction passport

From March 1, 2018, transactions under contracts in foreign currency will need to be executed according to the new rules. The Central Bank approved a new instruction for this.

Main

There will be no more transaction passports.

Instead, banks will keep records of contracts, the amount of which is more than 3 million rubles.

The bank still has the right to request transaction documents if it has suspicions. Even if the contract amount is less than 3 million.

The list and forms of documents for registration of the transaction have changed. But you don’t have to figure it out: the bank will help.

What is a deal pass?

A transaction passport is a document that a bank draws up for an import or export contract. He is needed for currency control. Data from the documents provided by the client are entered into the transaction passport. When the parties fulfill their obligations, the transaction passport is closed. Then the bank sends data about the transaction to the Central Bank.

An import transaction passport is issued to the importer, that is, to the one who imports goods from abroad into the territory of Russia. Or when ordering services from a non-resident in the territory of another state. With the help of the import transaction passport, the bank controlled whether the payment to the address was justified. foreign company.

An export transaction passport is a document that is drawn up for the exporter. That is, a bank client sells goods abroad and receives money from there. The obligation of the bank is to control the terms of payment and other terms of the contract. For this purpose, an export transaction passport was drawn up for each contract.

If the documents are not all right, the transaction passport will not be issued and the calculations will not be carried out. The bank has this right under the law.

Whom does it concern?

This applies to entrepreneurs and firms that are engaged in import or export. For example, they sell goods abroad, provide services to foreign companies, or rent property abroad. Settlements under such contracts are drawn up according to special rules. For example, in order to sell goods in Russia, it is enough to conclude a regular sale and purchase agreement and receive money into the account. In order to sell the same goods abroad, it was necessary to additionally draw up an export transaction passport, and the bank controlled the fulfillment of the terms of the contract.

You can’t just conclude an agreement with a non-resident and transfer money to him. You will have to connect the currency control department, provide documents to the bank and issue a transaction passport. Otherwise, it will not be possible to legally pay off: the bank does not have the right to make a payment.

It takes time to collect documents and issue a transaction passport. You also need to pay for this according to the tariffs of the bank. Such rules.

Will transaction passports be completely unnecessary?

Yes, from March 1, 2018, there will be no deal passports. But this does not mean that settlements under contracts with foreign companies will be carried out automatically.

Currency control is not going anywhere. But instead of issuing a transaction passport, the bank will register the contract.

What are the rules for banks to register contracts?

Banks will register only those contracts, the amount of which exceeds the limit. For import contracts and loan agreements - 3 million rubles, for export - 6 million rubles. If the amount in the contract is less, it is not registered.

In order for the contract to be registered, the bank must provide information about the contract and details of the second party. There are different lists of information for import and export contracts. Employees of the currency control department will explain what is needed in a particular case and how to arrange everything.

Registration of contracts will be carried out in one day. Calculations will become faster and easier.

The bank will not be able to refuse to register the agreement. If there is all the data, the contract will be registered in any case.

Does the bank have the right to request documents for any payment under a foreign exchange agreement?

No, not by any. If the amount is less than 200 thousand rubles in ruble equivalent, according to the new rules, documents are not required.

Is it possible to divide transfers into several payments up to 200 thousand and not provide anything to the bank?

That won't work. It is not the amount of payment that is important, but the amount of the contract. If it is more than 200 thousand, the bank may request documents for the transaction. If more than 3 million rubles for imports or 6 million for exports, the contract will be registered.

You can conclude an agreement with a foreign company and pay in rubles. Then you do not need to provide and register anything?

And the counterparty does not have to be a company abroad. It can also work in Russia, accept or transfer rubles, and the transaction will fall under currency control. For example, if this is a representative office of a foreign company in Russia.

If the contract was concluded in 2017, and the settlements were made in 2018, what instructions should be used to draw up everything?

In 2018, a new instruction will work for all transactions. The Central Bank explained what to do during the transition period.

If the transaction passport is issued, but not closed, in 2018 it will be automatically closed, and the contract will be registered.

If the documents are being checked, but the passport has not yet been issued, it will not be issued. The contract will be registered on the basis of the same documents. It is not necessary to collect information for issuing an import transaction or export passport.

If the bank managed to issue a transaction passport, you can ask and the document will be issued.

Will the new rules help save money?

They will help, but not everyone. You will still have to pay for registration and accounting of contracts. Cancellation of the transaction passport does not mean the abolition of the currency control fee. For a bank, this is almost the same job, just called differently.

Those who have contracts for small amounts. They will have to collect fewer documents. Plus, you can save on currency control fees.

Documents can be processed faster. Now the transaction passport is being prepared for three days. Next year, the contract will be registered in a day.

Here's how you can save on decoration currency transactions.

Check bank rates. All have different fees and conditions. There are tariffs where there is no currency control service at all. And there is with a reduced fee and a limit on the amount of commission. You can choose the appropriate one depending on the turnover and amount of transactions.

Find out how you can submit documents. Carry originals and copies to the bank for a long time. If something is missing, you have to go again. Easier to upload scans to personal account or send a chat with the manager. If the bank has such a service, things will go faster.

Find a foreign exchange consultant. Import and export is more complicated than settlements with residents. Any violation will be fined. As a result, you can lose more than you earn. Find out from your bank who can help and if there is a personal manager for complex issues. If the Expert Advisor connects to the trade in time, there will be no errors and you will be able to save money.

FEA: currency control documents for a bank

What documents and in what terms should residents who have concluded a contract with a non-resident submit to the bank

Bank currency control is an integral part foreign economic activity. If you have concluded, for example, a foreign trade contract with foreign organization signed an agreement with a non-resident for the provision of services, rent (leasing), then you cannot avoid communicating with the bank within the framework of currency control. But how close it will be depends on a number of factors. This article will help you figure out what documents and in what time frame you will need to submit to the bank in relation to a contract with a non-resident.

Non-residents for the purposes of currency control is, in particular, p. 7 h. 1 art. 1 of the Law of 10.12.2003 No. 173-FZ (hereinafter - Law No. 173-FZ):

  • organizations established in accordance with the laws of foreign states and located outside our country;
  • branches (permanent representative offices) of these organizations located on the territory of Russia;
  • individuals who are not citizens of our country (with the exception of permanent residents of our country foreign citizens(stateless persons) who have a residence permit);
  • Russian citizens who foreign country at least 1 year:
  • permanently reside;
  • temporarily stay on the basis of at least an annual work or study visa (their totality with a total validity period of at least 1 year).

Transaction passport

As soon as you have entered into a contract with a non-resident, the first thing you need to do within the framework of bank currency control is to determine whether it is necessary to draw up a transaction passport or not.

If the amount of your contract with a non-resident is equal to the equivalent of USD 50,000 at the exchange rate set by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation on the date of conclusion of the contract, or exceeds this amount, you need to issue a transaction passport in an authorized bank through which settlements under the contract will be carried out with pp. 5.2, 6.1 Instructions of the Central Bank dated 04.06.2012 No. 138-I (hereinafter - Instruction No. 138-I). And in a situation where all payments will go through accounts in foreign banks, you will have to draw up a transaction passport in territorial office Central Bank according to your legal address at clause 11.1 of Instruction No. 138-I. Looking ahead, let's say that in the future it will be necessary to submit currency control certificates there as well. clause 11.5 of Instruction No. 138-I. If the settlements only partially go through foreign accounts, then the transaction passport must be opened in an authorized bank and report to it pp. 11.2, 11.10 Instructions No. 138-I.

For more information about issuing, reissuing and closing transaction passports, read:

It happens that on the date of conclusion of the contract, the transaction passport is not required, since the amount of obligations is less than 50 thousand US dollars in equivalent. However, in the future, the obligations increase (their total amount becomes equal to 50 thousand dollars in equivalent or more). And you already need to issue a transaction passport. This must be done no later than the date when the amount of obligations under the contract exceeds the above amounts. clause 6.5.3 of Instruction No. 138-I. Therefore, if you expect such a development of events, you can submit to the bank the documents necessary for issuing a transaction passport in advance Clause 1 of the Information Letter of the Central Bank dated 07.05.2014 No. 44.

The deadline by which the transaction passport must be issued depends on which transaction will be the first under the contract. In general cases, you need to issue a transaction passport within the time limits indicated in the table.

First operation under a contract with a non-resident Deadline for submitting documents for issuing a transaction passport
Payment to Bank account foreign exchange(ruble) clause 6.5.1 of Instruction No. 138-I Not later than 15 working days from the date of receipt of money to the account pp. 2.3, 3.8 Instructions No. 138-I

Performance of work, provision of services, transfer of information and results of intellectual activity clause 6.5.6 of Instruction No. 138-I pp. 9.1.3, 9.2.2, 9.3 Instructions No. 138-I

To issue a transaction passport, you need to submit an agreement or an extract from it to the bank clause 6.6.2 of Instruction No. 138-I. But not always the conclusion of an agreement involves the preparation of one document signed by the parties. you could conclude foreign economic contract, exchanging, say, telefaxes or electronic documents(allowing you to reliably establish that the document comes from counterparty a) paragraph 1 of Art. 160, art. 434 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. Also, the contract will be considered concluded (in writing), if, having received a written offer from the counterparty, you agree and, say, ship the goods or transfer money and paragraph 3 of Art. 438 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. As the Central Bank explained, in this case, you need to submit to the authorized bank those documents that you exchanged with your foreign partner. Methodological recommendations of the Central Bank dated 15.06.2015 No. 14-MR. For example, a letter received by fax from a foreign counterparty with a request for delivery and the original of your response invoice sent to the partner by fax. Or upon acceptance by action - an invoice for the shipment of goods. The main thing is that the documents that you exchanged with the counterparty contain all the essential terms of the contract necessary for currency control. In particular, the subject of the contract (the name of the goods supplied, the description of the services provided, etc.), the price of the contract, the terms for the parties to fulfill their obligations.

The bank has 3 working days to review the submitted documents and make a decision. If the bank finds any errors in the transaction passport form you filled out, inconsistencies with the data of the submitted documents, or the absence of any necessary papers, it will return the submitted documents to you to eliminate the defect in pp. 6.9, 6.10 Instructions No. 138-I. At the same time, documents for issuing a transaction passport are considered to be submitted within the deadline only if the bank within this established period accepted them and issued a transaction passport - signed the form you filled out, assigned a number and put down the date of issue clause 6.7 of Instruction No. 138-I.

You need to apply to the bank for a transaction passport in advance. Ideally, immediately after the conclusion of the contract.

“Currency control” communication with the bank is not limited to the execution of a transaction passport. For further operations under the contract, you will have to report to the bank.

In cases where a third party - a resident participates in settlements under a contract with a non-resident (or if a third party fulfills obligations under the contract in another way), it is necessary to report on foreign exchange transactions in a special order. ch. 12 Instructions No. 138-I.

Having received a certificate of foreign exchange transactions (certificate of supporting documents), the bank will check whether it is correctly executed and whether the information specified in it (including the code for the type of currency transaction and the code for the type of supporting document) corresponds to the data of the attached documents and the information submitted to the bank by customs clause 18.1 of Instruction No. 138-I. The bank must check the certificate of foreign exchange transactions clause 18.2 of Instruction No. 138-I:

  • when debiting money from the current account - no later than the working day after the submission of the certificate;
  • when crediting money - no later than 3 working days from the date of submission of the certificate.

And to check the certificate of supporting documents, the bank has the following deadlines and clause 18.2 of Instruction No. 138-I:

  • if the certificate is issued in respect of declared imported goods paid in advance, or exported goods for which a deferred payment is granted, - no later than 10 working days from the date of submission of the certificate;
  • in other cases - no later than 3 working days from the date of submission of the certificate.

The bank will not accept the certificate if it finds any errors and inconsistencies. You will receive the wrong certificate back with the date and reason for the return. pp. 18.5, 18.6 Instructions No. 138-I.

On time, established by the bank, you will have to submit a new certificate of foreign exchange transactions (on supporting documents), having eliminated all the comments clause 18.7 of Instruction No. 138-I.

References on foreign exchange transactions and supporting documents are deemed to have been submitted on time. If clause 18.9 of Instruction No. 138-I:

  • you sent them to the bank in a timely manner;
  • The bank checked them and accepted them.

Therefore, the sooner you submit "currency" certificates to the bank, the better.

There are clarifications from Rosfinnadzor, which state: when certificates of foreign exchange transactions, certificates of supporting documents and the supporting documents themselves are submitted to the bank, “the period for the fulfillment of the obligation by a resident does not include the period for their verification by an authorized bank” Letter of Rosfinnadzor No. 43-01-06-25/4133 dated 05.10.2012.

But arbitrage practice shows that you may still face a fine if you submit a new, correct certificate of foreign exchange transactions (on supporting documents) instead of a timely submitted, but erroneous one, to the bank after the deadline for submitting certificates has expired.

By returning the certificate to you, the bank sets a deadline for correcting the shortcomings and submitting a new certificate. But, according to some courts, the instructions of the bank do not affect the deadline set for the submission of certificates. Decree 1 of the AAC dated March 30, 2015 No. A43-21628 / 2014.

With regard to the submitted certificates on foreign exchange transactions, on supporting documents, one cannot be guided by the principle of "submitted - and forgot".

After all, if the information provided in these certificates changes (with the exception of changes in data about a resident or an authorized bank), you will need to submit a corrective certificate. This must be done no later than 15 working days after the date of execution of documents confirming the changes. These documents will need to be submitted to the bank along with a certificate pp. 2.9, 3.15, 9.7 Instructions No. 138-I.

You can agree with the bank that, based on the documents you submit, the bank itself will draw up pp. 2.4, 3.9, 6.3, 9.4 Instructions No. 138-I:

  • transaction passport;
  • information about foreign exchange transactions;
  • certificates of supporting documents.

These services are, of course, paid. Find out the rates from your bank. You may prefer to pay an amount within 5000 rubles. for issuing a transaction passport (within 1,500 rubles - for issuing certificates) than doing it yourself.

But keep in mind that you will still need to understand the rules for issuing transaction passports and certificates. After all, the preparation of these documents by the bank does not relieve you of responsibility for their correct content and compliance with the deadlines for registration!

If you do not apply to the bank required documents on time, the bank will not be able to issue a transaction passport or certificate in a timely manner.

After filling out the transaction passport (or certificate) by the bank, you will need to check this document. And if you find errors and inaccuracies, you must, within 15 working days after the date of receipt of the transaction passport (certificate), submit an application to the bank for its reissuance (or a corrective certificate) pp. 2.10, 3.9, 6.11, 9.4 Instructions No. 138-I.
