Requirements for beer containers

Recall that in January 2017, the provisions of the above law were tightened. In particular, wholesalers and retailers prohibited the sale of beer, including draft, in PET containers with a volume of over 1.5 liters.

The restriction applies to both cafes, restaurants and canteens, as well as small shops within walking distance. Wherever you buy a foamy drink, from April 1 you are required to provide a receipt with the name of the purchased product.

This regulation comes into force on March 31, 2017.

Deputy Head of the Interdistrict Inspectorate of the Federal Tax Service of Russia No. 14 for the Krasnodar Territory Natalia Merzlikina.

If translated from legal to human, it turns out that earlier law No. 171, which regulates the production and circulation of alcohol in Russia, allowed individual entrepreneurs to work on UTII and PSN without cash desks. It was possible to get by with the issuance at the request of the buyer sales receipt or receipts.

ENDV - single tax on imputed income.

PSN - patent system of taxation.

But the 261st law made changes to the same 171st. Due to the amendments, now any entrepreneur is obliged to sell alcohol only with the use of cash registers (abbreviated as CCP). The changes take effect on March 31st.

The bulk of beer sellers- these are just individual entrepreneurs on UTII. As far as RVS knows, not all of them are aware of the changes. Now, among small entrepreneurs, there is a rumor that inspections will begin as early as April 1. The situation is complicated by the fact that the acquisition of a new cash register- It's more costly. In addition, new CCP . Other cash desks simply will not be registered with the tax office.

New edition Federal Law No. 54-FZ of May 22, 2003 “On the use of cash registers in cash settlements and (or) settlements using payment cards” (hereinafter - Law No. 54-FZ) obliges to switch to a new procedure providing for the use of a new generation of cash registers, which ensures the transfer of fiscal data to tax authorities online from 01.07.2017, while the registration of cash registers under the old procedure was terminated from 01.02.2017

I.e, if you are an entrepreneur selling beer and you already have an active cash desk, then you have until July 1 of the current year to purchase an online device. If you have so far sold alcoholic beverages without cash registers, then from March 31 your activity will go beyond the law, as well. The only way to stay clean before the tax is an expensive purchase.

30 thousand - this is the cost of a simple online cash register.

But you won't be limited to this purchase alone. It will also be necessary to conclude agreements with fiscal operators, whose duty is to transfer data about your sales directly to the tax office, as well as store them for 5 years.

Firms engaged in servicing cash desks have long been intensified and are conducting vigorous activity, offering their services, the cost of which is 7-10 thousand rubles a month.

"We barely made it through the winter, - admits the owner of a small shop, who wished to remain anonymous. - We have been trading ourselves for a long time, there is no money for a hired seller. Just the other day I found out that since April, the sale of beer without an online cash register is prohibited. There is no money to buy. How now to be with stocks of beer? Its sale is the main source of profit. At least go around the world," the woman is indignant.

A single non-use of KKM will entail administrative fines:

for officials - from 25% to 50% of the calculation amount without the use of cash registers, but not less than 10,000 rubles,

for legal entities - from 75% to 100% of the settlement amount without the use of cash registers, but not less than 30,000 rubles.

Repeated non-use of cash registers, if the amount of revenue without the use of cash registers amounted to more than 1 million rubles, is punished much more severely. Officials in this case may be disqualified for a period of 1 to 2 years. Activity individual entrepreneurs and legal entities may be administratively suspended for up to 90 days.

More detailed information about new CCP models, its characteristics and manufacturers, fiscal data operators can be found in a special section " New order use of cash registers”, “Registers” on the official website of the Federal Tax Service of Russia: www.nalog.ru

From July 1, a ban on retail sales of alcoholic beverages in PET containers with a volume of more than 1.5 liters comes into force in Russia. Previously, the same measures affected beverage manufacturers and the wholesale link. Sellers of Barnaul "pivniki" are aware of this innovation and warn their consumers about it. Why it was decided to introduce such measures and who is considered its initiator, read in our analysis.

1What will change for consumers?

From July 1, retailers are prohibited from selling alcohol in PET bottles over 1.5 liters. The ban also applies to so-called shops-bars with drinks on tap. Here it will be possible to use only containers with a volume of 0.5, 1 and 1.5 liters. At the same time, the number of “small” bottles is not limited to the buyer. Anyone who wants to take a three-ruble note must now pay for two and a half. Other types of packaging, such as glass and tetra-packs, are exempt from the ban, as are soft drinks.

2 What is the new ban?

In the summer of 2016, the State Duma adopted amendments to the federal law"On state regulation of the production and circulation of ethyl alcohol, alcoholic and alcohol-containing products", in which this innovation was prescribed. It provides for a phased ban on the production, circulation (all from January 1, 2017) and retail sales (from July 1, 2017) of alcoholic beverages in consumer packaging made of polyethylene, polystyrene, polyethylene terephthalate and other polymeric material.

3 Why was it decided to ban alcohol in PET containers?

Officials argued that such a ban was badly needed for three reasons. The main one is the fight against alcoholism. In their opinion, beer in two-liter plastic bottles is very popular because of its cheapness, especially among young people.

Secondly, alcohol in plastic packaging poses a serious health hazard. Opponents of plastic packaging referred to scientific studies, according to which the storage of beer, especially fortified, in plastic containers for more than a day leads to the release of dibutyl phthalate poison. It can cause toxic hepatitis of the liver, affects the immune system and is the cause of a number of severe diseases.

Another argument is that selling beer in plastic allows producers to evade taxes. The fact is that from one plastic capsule you can blow out both a half-liter bottle and a two-liter one. Thus, it appears easy way manufacture and sell unrecorded products.

4Who do beer companies consider the main initiator of the ban?

In April 2016, the Union of Russian Brewers published in the Kommersant newspaper open letter Oleg Deripaska, CEO of UC Rusal. In it, for the first time, they openly accused the businessman of being behind the massive campaign to ban PET packaging for beer in Russia, and that his company UC Rusal produces raw materials for another popular look packaging - aluminum cans. In a written response to RBC, the businessman's representative emphasized that in Europe brewers thrive without using plastic containers, and that Russia should follow this path.

For some time now, a refreshing, foamy drink - beer, has become the object of close attention of the legislator. Everything you need to know about the rules for the sale, purchase and consumption of beer in 2019, you will find in this article.

July 2011 was fatal for beer - adopted by the State Duma significantly changed legal status foamy drink, equating it to alcoholic products and setting significant restrictions on its sale and use.

The new rules for the sale of beer come into effect in stages: most of them are already being implemented in practice, and some changes are yet to show themselves in practice.

At military installations and territories adjacent to them;
In non-stationary objects for trade; in the markets of wholesale and retail trade, in places of increased source of danger, at railway stations and airports, in other crowded places and in the territories adjacent to them. BUT when an organization or individual entrepreneur provides catering services retail in the indicated places of beer and beer drinks.

A non-stationary retail facility is a retail facility that is a temporary structure or a temporary structure (including mobile) that is not permanently connected to a plot of land, regardless of the absence or presence of a connection to utility networks. This concept fixed .

Surrounding territories – these are those land, which are adjacent directly to buildings, structures and structures. The boundaries of such territories are determined by the authorities local government in their decisions.

On playgrounds;
In recreational zones (within the boundaries of territories where there are urban forests, gardens, parks and squares, ponds, lakes and reservoirs, beaches and other territories used and intended for sports, recreation and tourism). BUT the purchase of beer and its consumption in the places of provision of public catering services located in these territories,

When will it be impossible to buy beer?

New rules for the sale of beer and beer drinks of any strength (except non-alcoholic) 2019 set the time of sale: sale is unacceptable law from 23:00 to 08:00 local time. An exception is retail sales in places of catering services (clubs, bars, cafes, restaurants and other similar places).

In each individual subject of the Russian Federation, additional restrictions on the conditions, times and places for the retail sale of alcohol, beer and beer drinks may be established, including a complete ban on the retail sale of these products. Restrictions are authorized to establish state authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

Beer advertising ban

Beer sales laws in 2019 set new trade rules and also touched upon and promotional activities. From now on, beer advertising cannot be placed on the first and last pages of newspapers and magazines, contain a statement about the safety and benefits of the product, and also use images of people or animals, even cartoon ones. The rest of the advertising of alcoholic products significant changes have not endured.

Requirements to commercial premises for the sale of beer in 2019 under the new rules:

According to law on the sale of beer in 2019, organizations and individual entrepreneurs, in order to achieve the goals of retail sale of beer, must own, operate, manage or lease stationary retail facilities, warehouses and cash registers.

Again, organizations and individual entrepreneurs that provide catering services fall under the exception - these requirements do not apply to them.

There are no restrictions on the total area of stationary retail facilities and warehouses in the retail sale of beer and beer drinks. Only if other alcoholic products (vodka, cognac, wine, etc.) appear on the shelves of such retail facilities, then the law fixing the new rules for the sale of beer 2019, among others, introduces a restriction on the total area of retail facilities and warehouses - at least 50 square meters meters in the city and 25 sq.m - in the countryside.

Is the sale of beer for individual entrepreneurs licensed in 2019?

Licensing of activities related to the retail sale, purchase, storage and supply of beer and beer drinks is not provided. As well as labeling for beer and beer drinks is optional.

Sale of beer in PET in 2019

Of the upcoming restrictions, one is still in effect - the production and circulation of alcoholic products containing more than 7% of ethyl alcohol from the total volume finished products must be carried out in consumer packaging, not exceeding 330 milliliters in volume.

However, the sensational bill on establishing a limit on the volume of consumer packaging of alcoholic products is already actively taking an offensive position.

According to the new law on the sale of beer in PET, based on data from July 1, 2017, the production of alcoholic products, as well as beer and beer drinks, is only allowed in polymer consumer containers not exceeding 1.5 liters. In the future, it is planned to gradually reduce the volume of this container to 0.5 liters.

With regard to the retail sale of beer and beer drinks, the upcoming changes will introduce a ban on retail sales alcoholic products with a strength of more than 4% of the volume in polymeric consumer packaging in general, and 4% or less - in polymeric consumer packaging, whose volume is more than 0.5 liters.

At the same time, the decrease in the volume of PET and the corresponding decrease in the content of ethyl alcohol in alcoholic products will occur gradually. The exact dates will be specified by new amendments to the current legislation.
