Let’s consider a reflection order in the accounting of shortages and the losses arising in a storage time and transportations of agricultural products.

The accounting of losses within rates of natural loss

Accounting

If as a result of spillage, shrinkage, evaporation and other natural processes at transportation or storage stocks lost a material tsenyonost and the enterprise can’t realize or use them for production, they bol­she aren’t an asset and are subject to write-off with ba­lansa (item 27 P (C) BU 9).

Tax accounting

Unlike losses within rates of natural loss, shortages above permitted standard aren’t connected with conducting economic activity.

Profits tax. If the expenses included in structure of prime cost of a missing selkhozprodukyotsiya, were declared in the previous nalogoyovy periods, it is necessary:

• to carry out adjustment of cost of a material component of prime cost of agricultural products in the K1/1 appendix on the line A3 gr. 4 Stocks, isyopolzovanny not in economic activity;

• to exclude expenses on compensation, sotsotchisleniye, amortization etc. on the corresponding lines of the declaration on profit.

The expenses making prime cost of missing agricultural products, suffered in the current tax period, don’t belong to structure of VR and aren’t reflected in the declaration on profit.

If persons guilty of shortage are established and a predyopriyatiya direct damages are paid, according to subitem 4.2.3 of the Law on profit such sums don’t join in structure of a gross income as at a spisayoniya they were expelled from VR structure.

VAT. If raw materials, materials, works (service), vkhoyodyashchy in prime cost of missing production, pri­obreteny in the current tax period, the sum of the VAT paid to the seller, of Tax Code structure not in but are reflected in a line of 14 declarations on the VAT. If are acquired in the previous tax periods, the Tax Code sum on the VAT needs to be modified in a line of 16.3 declarations on the VAT with a sign -.

The sums of compensation received from guilty persons, the VAT aren’t assessed, as according to Zayokon’s subitem 3.1.1 about the VAT the taxation object is operation of delivery of the goods (works, services), and in understanding of this Law that isn’t considered vozmeyoshcheny items 1.4. The specified sums – only a kompensayotsiya of the losses suffered by the enterprise, instead of a kompenyosatsiya of cost of the goods.
