The form on the average number of approved tax. Information on the average number of employees: sample filling, form. The procedure for calculating the average number of employees

Form of the report "Information about average headcount employees” for 2020 remained the same. It was approved back in 2007 (Appendix to the Order of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation of March 29, 2007 No. MM-3-25 /) and remains unchanged to this day. The average number of employees for 2020 (the form can be downloaded in our article) for the outgoing year will be submitted in the form of KND 1110018.

Required fields

The average number of employees (form 2020) consists of one sheet. Even a novice accountant can fill it out. Subject to disclosure:

  • Company name;
  • TIN, checkpoint of the organization;
  • name of the IFTS of the recipient and its code;
  • indicator of the average number of employees (in whole units);
  • FULL NAME. the manager who signed the report;
  • date of information generation.

Who is required to submit

The current legislation states that information on the average number of employees, the form of which is approved by Order of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation of March 29, 2007 No. MM-3-25 /, must be submitted:

  • without exception, all organizations that have been active in reporting year(even if there were no employees) - until January 20;
  • organizations registered in the current year - the deadline is before the 20th day of the month following the registration;
  • individual entrepreneurs (if they had employees).

Who is exempt from providing

The average number of employees (form 2020) of the year is not subject to submission by individual entrepreneurs who did not hire people, as well as individual entrepreneurs who are registered in the current year. Only they can not submit data on the number.

Where and how is the information submitted?

It is necessary to provide a report to the interdistrict inspection of the Federal Tax Service at the place of registration. The form on the average number of employees (you can download the form below) must be sent to the Federal Tax Service both in paper and in in electronic format. What determines the choice - paper or electronics? If the number of employees is more than 100 people, then we exclude the paper version - only in electronic form. The average number of employees - form 2020 can be downloaded for free in this article.

What to include in information about the average number of employees (form 2020)

The most difficult thing in the report is the calculation of the number itself. The procedure is determined by the Order of Rosstat No. 772 dated November 22, 2017. The number includes employees who are employed under employment contracts. Data must be taken from personnel records: first count the employees present for each day during each month, divide the sum for each month by the number calendar days in a month, and then summarize the data by months and divide by 12. The calculated average number of employees (form 2020) is entered in the document.

For enterprises with low staff turnover, this will not be difficult, but in large companies without software not necessary for counting. The population indicator is rounded to an integer according to the rules of arithmetic rounding.

What threatens for failure to provide

Violation of the deadlines for submitting information will cost 200 rubles (). In the name of the head, the tax authorities can issue an administrative fine, the amount of which will be from 300 to 500 rubles (). It is not difficult to submit information on the average number of employees on time (the form is presented above), the report as a whole is quite simple and getting a fine for it, albeit a small one, is still not very pleasant.

A report on the average number of employees (AHR) must be submitted by all organizations and individual entrepreneurs (regardless of the chosen taxation system) that had employees in the calendar year.

Newly created organizations (not individual entrepreneurs) need to submit the SHR report twice: once - after creation, and the second - at the end of the year.

For individual entrepreneurs without employees, starting from January 1, 2014, submit information on the SFR no need.

Note! 2020 was the last year in which an RFP report had to be submitted. From 2021, it is canceled by the law of January 28, 2020 No. 5-FZ. Information on the number of employees will be transferred to the IFTS as part of the Calculation of insurance premiums.

  1. In paper form (in 2 copies). One copy will remain in the tax office, and the second (with the necessary mark) will be given back. It will serve as confirmation that you have submitted the declaration.
  2. By mail by registered mail with a description of the attachment. In this case, an inventory of the investment and a receipt must remain, the date of which will be considered the date of delivery of the number.
  3. In electronic form via the Internet (under an agreement through an EDI operator or a service on the website of the Federal Tax Service).

note, when submitting information to the SFR in paper form, some IFTS may additionally require you to attach a file with an electronic version of the report on a diskette or flash drive.

How to calculate the average headcount (formula)

Step 1. Calculate the number of full-time employees

To do this, we use the following formula:

H 1 \u003d H m / D m

h m- the sum of the average number of employees for each day of the month (that is, it is necessary to calculate the average number of employees for each day of the month and add);

D m is the number of calendar days in a month.

Result no need to round.

CHR for a weekend or holiday is taken equal to the number for the previous working day.

When calculating the average headcount not taken into account:

  1. External part-time workers (employees whose main place of work is another organization).
  2. Individuals working under GPC agreements (civil law).
  3. Women on maternity or parental leave.
  4. Employees located in study holidays without payroll.

If both an employment and a civil law contract are concluded with an employee at the same time, then it must be taken into account when calculating as one person.

Part-time employees working time at the initiative of the employer (probation and homeworkers), as well as workers for whom the law establishes half-holiday(including the disabled), when calculating the AFR, they are taken into account as whole units.

Step 2. Calculate the number of employees who worked part-time

Employees working on employment contract part-time (including those who did not come to work due to illness or business trip), the calculation of the NFR takes into account proportionate to hours worked.

This is done according to the following formula:

H 2 \u003d T total / T rd / D slave

T total- the total number of man-hours worked by these employees in the reporting month.

T rd- the length of the working day, based on the duration of the working week established in the organization. For example, with a 40-hour five-day work week, this figure will be 8 hours, with a 36-hour week - 7.2 hours, and with a 24-hour week - 4.8 hours.

3d slave- the number of working days according to the calendar in the reporting month.

Result no need to round.

Example. The employee worked part-time (4 hours) 22 working days per month, while the duration of the working day in the organization is 8 hours. The average number in this case will be equal to: 0,5 (88 / 8 / 22).

Step 3. Calculate the average number of employees per calendar year

To calculate the average number of employees, it is necessary to add the headcount indicators ( Ch 1 and Ch 2 ) for all months of the year and divide the result by 12 months.

If the result is a non-integer number, then need to be rounded(discard less than 0.5, and round 0.5 or more to the nearest whole unit).

Calculation example

Initial data

LLC "Company" has a 40-hour five-day work week.

In 2019, from January to November, on the basis of employment contracts, 15 people(in December there were 11 of them, as 4 people were fired due to staff reduction).

For September and October, 5 new employees were given fixed-term part-time employment contracts, according to which they worked 4 hours a day.

Throughout the year, 3 external part-time workers worked in the organization, who are on the payroll of another company.

Calculation of the average headcount

In each of the months (in the period from January to November), the average number of employees working full day, was equal to 15 people(external part-timers are not taken into account in the calculation). In December, the number of such employees is 11 people.

Now let's calculate the average number of employees who worked during the year part time:

In September and October there were 22 working days, so the number in each of these months is equal to:

(4 hours x 5 employees x 22 business days) / 8 hours / 22 business days = 2,5

Below is a table of the average number of employees for each month, taking into account the results obtained:

Thus, for 2019, the average number of employees is equal to: 15 people(181 people / 12 months).

Why do we need the average number of tax

The indicator of the average headcount is involved in the calculation of some taxes, and the method of reporting to the tax authorities depends on it.

So, for example, individual entrepreneurs and organizations whose number exceeds 100 people in a calendar year cannot apply the simplified tax system and UTII.

For individual entrepreneurs on a patent, the average number of employees in all types of activities should not exceed 15 people.

There are other situations in which the exact number of employees may be of interest to representatives of the tax authorities.

Until January 21, tax inspectors are waiting for information from organizations and entrepreneurs on the average number of employees. The rules for determining this indicator for 2018 have changed.

Who submits the report and when

Represent in tax office not all employers are required to report on the average headcount. For example, entrepreneurs without staff do not need to report (clause 3, article 80 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). The table below shows the organizations that have to submit the report. Check if your company is one of them.

Don't get confused - it's not about statistical reporting(form P-4 “Information on the number and wages workers").

Information on the average headcount is submitted according to the recommended form, which was approved by order of the Federal Tax Service of Russia dated March 29, 2007 No. MM-3-25 / 174. You can submit the report to the tax authority both electronically and in paper form.

At the same time, the counting rules are the same as for statistical reporting and for form 4-FSS: they are approved by the order of Rosstat dated November 22, 2017 No. 772 (hereinafter - Order No. 772). This document replaced the previous order of Rosstat dated October 26, 2015 No. 498, which was valid until 2018, and there are differences in it.

A sample of filling out information on the average number of employees for 2018.

How to calculate the average number of employees

Consider step by step the calculation of the average number of employees.

Step 1. Calculate the payroll for each day of the month

Add to the report only those employees with whom employment contracts have been concluded (paragraph 76 of the Instructions for filling out the form, approved by Order No. 772). It does not matter if the employee is on vacation, on sick leave or on a business trip. But there are employees who do not need to be shown in the average number. They are named in paragraph 78 of Order No. 772:

  • workers on GPC contracts;
  • external part-timers;
  • founders of an organization who do not receive a salary;
  • lawyers, etc.

Example 1. Calculation of the payroll number of employees

Sosna LLC had 12 employees as of November 30, 2018. Two of them are external part-timers, and one employee works under a contract.

12 people - 2 people - 1 person = 9 people

Step 2. Determine the monthly number of full-time employees

To calculate the average number of full-time employees, use the formula:

The total headcount of full-time employees for each day of the month includes weekends and holidays.

Do not include female workers in maternity leave, on "children's" holidays, part-time workers. Also, do not take into account employees who took leave at their own expense to study or enter a university (paragraph 79 of Order No. 772).

Attention: if an employee works part-time on parental leave, do not exclude her from the average headcount. Such rules are established in Order No. 772 and have been in force since 2018. This item was absent in the old procedure for filling out the form, approved by Rosstat order No. 498 dated 10/26/15.

Example 2: Calculation of the monthly number of full-time employees

Let's return to the conditions of Example 1. The list of employees in Sosna LLC as of November 30 is 9 people. Seven of them work full time. Two employees went on maternity leave on November 5 and 19.

Let's determine the payroll number of employees for all days of November:

(9 people x 4 days) + (8 people x 14 days) + (7 people x 12 days) = 232 people

Calculate the average number of full-time employees:

232 people / 30 days = 7.73 people

Step 3: Calculate the monthly number of part-time employees

Count part-time workers in the monthly headcount in proportion to hours worked. Count the number in two stages (clause 79.3 of Order No. 772):

  1. Determine the number of man-days worked by part-time workers. To do this, divide the monthly amount of man-hours by the length of the working day.
  2. Calculate the monthly amount. To do this, divide the number of man-days per month by the number of working calendar days in the month.

Example 3Calculation of the monthly number of part-time workers

As of November 30, the list of employees at Sosna LLC is 9 people. Two employees work part-time: 2 and 6 hours a day.

Calculate the number of man-days for November:

2 man-hours x 21 days / 8 hours + 6 man-hours x 21 days / 8 hours = 21 man-days

Let's calculate the average number of employees per month:

21 person-day / 21 days = 1 person

Step 4. Calculate the average number of employees per month

To get the average headcount for a month, add up the number of full-time and part-time employees for that period. If you get a fractional indicator, round it up to an integer value (clause 79.4 of Order No. 772).

Let's determine this indicator for November, using the data of the previous examples:

7.73 people + 1 pers. = 8.73 people (round up to 9 people).

Step 5. Determine the average number of employees for the year

Calculate the average number of employees for the year using the formula:

Attention

To determine the number of employees for the first quarter, add up the headcount figures for January, February and March and divide by 3. The number for half a year and 9 months is determined in the same way.

Example 4. Final calculation of the average headcount for the year

During 2018, the average number of employees at Sosna LLC was:

Month

Average headcount, pers.

September

Let's define the indicator for the year:

(8 people + 8 people + 7 people + 8 people + 8 people + 9 people + 9 people + 8 people + 8 people + 7 people + 9 people + 7 people) / 12 months = 8 people

The accountant filled out the report as in the sample below.

It remains to be added that if information about the average headcount is submitted late, the inspectors will issue a fine of 200 rubles to the company or entrepreneur (clause 1, article 126 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). For the head of the organization, the sanction will be from 300 to 500 rubles. (Article 15.6 of the Code of Administrative Offenses).

One of the first cases of an accountant in the new year. This is a notification of its inspection about the average number of employees for the previous calendar year. This is what the tax authorities need to understand. How the company should submit reports - on paper or according to the TMS. And this must be done no later than January 20 in a certain form.

The methodology for calculating the average headcount is the same for submission to the IFTS, as well as for other forms of reporting. Because it indicates the average number of employees. Calculated in accordance with the forms of federal statistical observation and instructions for filling them out. AT this case- this is Rosstat with its order dated November 22, 2017 No. 772

Frequent mistake. Companies do not include part-time workers in the report. Such employees should be counted in proportion to the hours worked. And do not include employees who are on study or maternity leave in the payroll (Order No. 772 dated November 22, 2017).

Who is included in the average number of employees

The concept of "average headcount" in the reporting and notification documents of the organization appears more than once. And it doesn't always mean the same thing. Therefore, first we will deal with the terms.

It is clear that we are talking about employees, that is, those with whom the organization has concluded employment contracts. And the term "average" means that it must be calculated according to those who are included in the payroll. In turn, the payroll includes employees hired under employment contracts for permanent, temporary or seasonal work. This includes the owners of the organization, if they are issued labor Relations and they get paid. And even those who worked for you for only 1 day will participate in the calculation.

It is important that the presence of an employee at the workplace is an optional condition for taking him into account in the average headcount. It may be temporarily absent for any reason. For example, employees who are on a business trip, on sick leave, annual leave, on leave without pay, in agreement with the management, who improve their qualifications with pay, etc., fall into the average number with the same success as those present at the workplace. At the same time, women do not participate in the calculation of the average number of women on maternity leave, as well as on childcare leave (although they are included in the payroll during this period).

In addition, the following are not included in the average headcount:

In accordance with paragraphs 79 and 81.1 of the Order of Rosstat dated November 22, 2017 No. 772, which approved order filling out Form No. P-4 “Information on the number and wages of employees”, women on maternity leave are included in the payroll. But they are excluded from the average number of employees.

At the same time, persons hired to replace absent employees (due to illness, maternity leave, parental leave) are included in the payroll and average headcount.

How to correctly calculate the average headcount

To determine the average number for any period (quarter, nine months, year), calculate sequentially:

  1. the headcount for each day of the month. This includes all employees with whom you have an employment contract;
  2. the average number of full-time employees for each month;
  3. the average number of part-time employees for each month;
  4. the average headcount for each month of the period;
  5. average headcount for the period.

The average number of employees is calculated for certain period: indicator for the month - based on the payroll for each day of this month, for the year - for monthly indicators. The number of employees for weekends and holidays is equal to the number for the previous working day. Different formulas are set for full-time and part-time workers. Consider the calculation procedure in stages.

STEP 1 . We calculate the monthly average number of full-time employees. We do this according to the formula:

Average number of full-time employees (per month)

The sum of the payroll number of fully employed employees for each calendar day of the month

Number of calendar days in a month


STEP 2. We calculate the monthly average number of part-time workers. If the company has part-time workers by agreement between the employee and the employer. Then they are taken into account in proportion to the time worked - one might say, they lead to a common denominator with the rest of the workers (who work the required 40, 36 or 24 hours a week).

Therefore, if you have one part-time employee in a month out of 22 working days, he worked 6 hours every working day. And the other - for 4 hours and only 10 working days, then they are equated to one full-time employee with a normal working day of 8 hours:

(6 h x 22 slave. days + 4 h x 10 slave. days ) / 8 h / 22 slave. days = 0,977 ~= 1

The time for the days of illness, vacation, absenteeism for other reasons of such employees, when calculating, is conditionally included in the hours worked by them on the previous working day.

STEP 3. We calculate the annual average number of all employees. Having determined the average headcount separately for the fully and partially employed for each month, we sum up all the obtained values ​​and divide by 12 months. If you don't have a part-time job. Then you add up the average number of only full-time employees and divide by 12. The final value is rounded to the nearest whole number.

Attention!

Workers with reduced working hours. As well as those transferred to part-time work at the initiative of the administration are taken into account in the average headcount as whole units.

Example of calculating the average number of employees

Gasprom LLC was registered on October 15, 2019 and has been applying a simplified taxation system since its inception. The organization has a 40-hour five-day work week (the working day is 8 hours long). The list number of employees working under a full-time employment contract was:
- from October 15 to November 20 - 18 people;
- from November 20 to December 31 - 23 people.

In October and November 2019, Gasprom LLC had no part-time employees. And on December 1, an assistant accountant was accepted on a shortened working day. In December, he worked 4 hours 23 days.

Based on the results of 2014, we calculate the average number of employees of Gasprom LLC as follows.
1. The monthly average number of employees who have a full-time job is equal to:
- in October - 9.87 people. (18 people × 17 days: 31 days);
- in November - 19.66 people. (18 people × 20 days + 23 people × 10 days): 30 days;
- in December - 23 people. (23 people × 31 days: 31 days).
2. The monthly average number of employees who have a part-time work schedule is equal to:
- in December - 0.5 people. (4 man-hours × 23 days : 8 hours : 23 days).
3. The monthly average number of all employees is equal to:
- in October - 9.87 people;
- in November - 19.66 people;
- in December - 23.5 people. (23 people + 0.5 people).
4. The average number of employees of Gazprom for 2019 is 4.42 people. (9.87 people + 19.66 people + 23.5 people): 12.

The average number is indicated in whole units. The fractional number is rounded off general rule: digits after the decimal point from 5 or more are rounded up to a whole number, and the numbers 1-4 are discarded.

Total for 2019 average headcount 4 person.

The result obtained will go to the notification of the average headcount.

If the organization worked last year for an incomplete year, then when determining the average number of employees for the year, the denominator of the fraction will still be 12 months.

Newly created organization or individual entrepreneur (with employees) should report on the average number of employees even in the absence of staff. Because in the event of the creation (reorganization) of a company, a report on the average headcount must be submitted to the tax office no later than the 20th day of the month following the month in which the organization was created (clause 3). tax code does not relieve organizations that do not have employees from the obligation to provide the specified information. In addition, the average number of employees is related to the indicators. Which affect the procedure for calculating taxes and the application of various taxation regimes. Thus, the newly created organization is obliged to provide information on the average headcount within the established time frame, regardless of whether they have staff members or not.

In the calculation of RSV-1, it is also necessary to indicate the "average headcount", in the form-4 of the FSS - the "average headcount". But if only payroll employees are considered for tax notification, then for reporting to the FIU and the FSS, information is needed on all individuals who received payments from the organization during the reporting period. And here, when determining the average headcount, in addition to "listed" workers, the following should be taken into account:

  • external collaborators. Their average number is determined by the same formula as for part-time workers. The resulting value can be very small. But so that when rounding it does not turn into zero (then this category will not be taken into account at all in the number), they leave one decimal place and use the value in calculations in this form;
  • citizens with whom civil law contracts are concluded. Their average number is calculated in the same way as the average number of full-time employees. It is consistently determined how many people you employed under the GPA on certain dates, then per month, then per year. Each contractor under such a contract is considered as a whole unit.

For each given category of individuals, you need to calculate your own average population, and then add them to the total result.

Information on the average number of employees that you submit to the tax office and that you indicate in the insurance reporting. They will be the same only if you do not have external part-time workers and those hired under the GPA.
