Arms Trade License. Trade in arms and ammunition, gun shop! Who cannot acquire weapons

Today, there are more and more hunting, sporting or gun shops, shooting galleries dealing with the arms trade. And not in vain, because the arms business in Russia is gaining momentum every year. There are more and more private security companies, hunting lovers, and simply those who simply want to acquire weapons for self-defense.

But in order to open an arms shop and participate in the circulation of weapons in the Russian Federation on a legal basis, you need a license to trade in civilian and service weapons and the main parts of firearms from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. At the same time, it does not matter what kind of civilian or service weapon trade you are going to engage in: the sale of electroshock devices, signal, gas, firearms or pneumatic weapons, even the sale of edged weapons is subject to compulsory licensing.

Moreover, the requirements for the applicant are quite strict and there are many of them. First, only legal entities are entitled to trade in civilian and service weapons. Thus, if you are an individual entrepreneur, the first step to obtain this license will be to create a legal entity. Moreover, the law does not install requirements to organizational and legal the form of a legal entity, its authorized capital or founders. Secondly, in order to trade in civilian and service weapons and the main parts of firearms, you need:

retail premises and equipment that meet the requirements established by law for the acceptance, accounting, storage and pre-sale preparation of weapons and accounting documentation;
a system for ensuring the protection of commercial premises, completely excluding access to weapons and records of unauthorized persons;
technical means, instrumentation necessary to check the health of the weapon being sold and providing timely inspection of equipment and verification of instrumentation;
employees responsible for the safety, accounting and storage of weapons, as well as performing functions related to the sale, pre-sale preparation, transfer and transportation weapons (it is important to remember that they cannot be persons with an unexpunged or outstanding criminal record for a crime committed intentionally, or the court banned from filling positions related to the circulation of weapons);
full range of weapons that you are going to sell (here you must remember the requirements established by the Federal Law "On Weapons", where you can find a list of weapons and devices to him, the circulation of which as civil and service weapons or accessories to it is not allowed on the territory of Russia);
certificates of conformity or declaration of conformity for all models of sold civilian and service weapons and essential parts of firearms;
permission to store the weapon specified in the nomenclature.

When selling cartridges for civilian or service weapons, these requirements apply to data on cartridges, regardless of whether they are sold separately or in a set with weapons.

Within 45 working days, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation makes a decision on providing license or refusal to issue a license. At the same time, it is NOT necessary to obtain a license to store civilian and service weapons and the main parts of firearms for trade! In this case, trading already implies storage and separately not licensed. It is necessary to obtain a license for the storage of civilian and service weapons only when carrying out storage in the interests of other persons. In this case, for a weapons warehouse, a license must also be obtained from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.

In order to avoid mistakes in the interpretation of the provisions of the legislation, we recommend that you contact experienced specialists. United Lawyers have been providing legal services in the field of licensing for over 28 years, has extensive experience in collaboration with the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation and a large staff of qualified lawyers who are ready to help in the preparation of all required documents.

Now the fee for issuing a license to acquire weapons (except for gas) is 2,000 rubles.

The fee for issuing and extending the validity of a permit to store and carry weapons is 500 rubles.

The fee for the issuance and renewal of the license for the acquisition of gas weapons is 500 rubles.

The fee for the renewal of any weapon license for the acquisition, as well as any permit for the storage and carrying of weapons, is 250 rubles.

4. Who can't purchase weapons?

A license to purchase weapons is not issued to citizens of the Russian Federation who:

• have not reached the age of 18 (21 years in case of obtaining a license for weapons of limited destruction (in common parlance - "trauma");
• cannot provide a medical certificate and medical conclusion, which suggests that doctors have found either contraindications to the possession of weapons, or drugs in the body;
• have an outstanding conviction for an intentional crime or have an extinguished conviction for a grave or especially grave crime committed with the use of a weapon;
• are serving a sentence for a committed crime;
• twice a year brought to administrative responsibility for violations of public order, for violation of hunting rules, for violation of the rules for the circulation of narcotic or psychotropic substances;
• do not have a permanent place of residence;
• did not submit the required documents;
• deprived of the right to acquire weapons by a court decision;
• are registered with health care institutions for mental illness, alcoholism or drug addiction;
• were subjected to administrative punishment for the consumption of narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances without a doctor's prescription or new potentially dangerous psychoactive substances (the ban on obtaining a license is valid until the end of the sentence).

5. How do I get gas weapons?

Gas weapons in Russia are sold for self-defense. Every citizen who has the right to acquire weapons has the right to own no more than five gas pistols or revolvers. They can be purchased either individually or in several units at once.

In order to acquire one, you will need to obtain a license to acquire gas weapons, which in fact is at the same time a permit to store and carry gas weapons. This right to own and carry gas weapons is somewhat easier to obtain than other types of weapons. Indeed, in the case of pneumatic, smooth-bore and rifled weapons, as well as weapons of limited destruction, these are two different documents that are drawn up sequentially.

6. How do I get a weapon of limited destruction?

Weapons of limited destruction (better known as traumatic weapons) are sold in Russia for self-defense. Every citizen who has the right to acquire weapons has the right to own no more than two units of limited destruction firearms ( traumatic weapons). You can purchase them both individually and both at once.

It is important to know that by obtaining a license for a smooth-bore weapon for self-defense, you will not be able to obtain permission to carry such a weapon - only for storage, because it is assumed that you will use it to guard your home. But hunters and athletes can purchase weapons and then receive the right not only to store, but also to carry them - after all, it is assumed that the former will use weapons in hunting, and the latter in training and competitions.

Everyone who has the right to acquire weapons may own no more than five units of smooth-bore and unlimited number of pneumatic weapons.

Melee weapons can be purchased if you have two documents: a hunting ticket and a permit to keep and carry hunting weapons - smooth-bore, rifled or pneumatic. You do not need to draw up any other documents for the purchase. Now cold hunting weapons are not registered in any way, but wearing is allowed only for hunting.

For the opportunity to purchase rifled weapons, athletes must have a sporting title in shooting (master of sports, master of sports of international class). But if long-barreled weapons can be stored at home, then a pistol or revolver will have to be stored in a sports club.

Every citizen who has the right to acquire weapons has the right to own no more than five units of long-barreled rifled weapons. You can purchase them both individually and in several units at once.

Note!

According to subparagraph 17 of paragraph 2 of Article 149 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as the Tax Code of the Russian Federation), the implementation of the following is not subject to taxation:

“Services rendered by authorized bodies for which all types of license, registration and patent fees and charges, as well as fees and charges levied by state bodies, local self-government bodies, other authorized bodies and officials when provided to organizations and individuals certain rights (including forest taxes, rent for the use of the forest fund and other payments in budgets for the right to use natural resources) ”.

Example 1.

The Oruzhiye store received a license to trade in weapons in December. For consideration of the application by the license applicant, 300 rubles were paid (not subject to VAT) and 1000 rubles (not subject to VAT) for obtaining a license. In the accounting of the organization, the accountant reflected the receipt of the license as follows:

Correspondence of invoices		Amount, rubles
Debit	Credit
			Transferred to the licensing authority for reviewing the application and for obtaining a license
			The costs of obtaining a license are reflected in deferred expenses
Since the license is valid for 60 months, each month the organization's accountant will include in the sales expenses an amount equal to 1,300 rubles: 36 months:
			Part of licensing costs for the current month has been charged to expenses

End of the example.

Tax accounting.

Expenses in Chapter 25 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation are understood as reasonable and documented costs incurred (incurred) by an organization to carry out activities aimed at generating income (Article 252 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). A trade organization cannot carry out activities related to the receipt of income without a license, that is, as we see, in relation to licensing costs, all the requirements put forward by tax legislation are met. Therefore, for tax accounting purposes, the organization takes into account such expenses as part of other expenses associated with production and sale on the basis of subparagraph 49 of paragraph 1 of article 264 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

The date when licensing costs are incurred depends on the method of recognition of income and expenses for tax purposes used by the taxpayer: accrual or cash basis.

If the organization uses the accrual method, then on the basis of clause 1 of Article 272 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, the costs of the license must be attributed to expenses that are accounted for for taxation in equal parts during the validity of the license. Since licensing costs are accounted for in the same way as accounting for income tax purposes, there will be no difference between accounting income and the tax base for income tax.

If the organization uses the cash method, then the license costs can be included in the expenses as a lump sum, after their actual payment. This procedure is established by Article 273 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

There is one more point to which I would like to draw the attention of the organization receiving the license. As a rule, during the period of obtaining a license, the organization bears the costs directly related to pre-licensing preparation, these can be consulting services, inspection of premises by firefighters, sanitary-epidemiological supervision, etc. Part of the services provided to the organization for pre-licensing preparation may contain "input" VAT. VAT paid to third-party organizations for services rendered by them, VAT has the right to reimburse from the budget, on the basis of Articles 171 and 172 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

When using the right to deduction, as a rule, the accountant has a question: can the entire amount of input VAT be reimbursed from the budget at once, or should it be done in parts as part of the cost of the license is attributed to expenses?

It must be said that there are two points of view on this issue: one - it is possible to deduct the "input" VAT on such services immediately, the second - the amount of the "input" tax is refunded in stages.

We will give both points of view, and the organization itself decides which one to choose.

VAT is refunded in stages.

The organization that received the license initially reflects the costs associated with obtaining it in account 97 "Deferred expenses". In accordance with article 170 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, the amounts of VAT presented to the taxpayer when purchasing goods (works, services) are not included in the expenses deducted when calculating the income tax (profit tax) of the organization.

This means that the debit of the account should include the amounts of prepaid expenses minus VAT (if there are relevant invoices). VAT on purchased goods (works, services) is accounted for in the debit of account 19 “Value added tax on acquired values”.

Deferred expenses are written off to production and distribution costs in equal parts during the license validity period. Consequently, VAT amounts should be deducted in the same way. This point of view is expressed by the tax authorities.

VAT is refunded at a time.

The text of Chapter 21 "Value Added Tax" of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation does not contain a direct indication that VAT on deferred expenses should be accepted for deduction only at the time of writing off such expenses to the cost of products (works, services), that is, in stages. Tax legislation sets forth four requirements that must be fulfilled by a VAT taxpayer claiming a deduction:

· The purchased goods (works, services) must be used by the taxpayer to carry out taxable transactions;

· Must be accepted by the taxpayer for accounting;

· Purchased goods (works, services) must be paid for;

· The taxpayer must have properly executed documents.

If a taxpayer obtains a license, we have:

· A license is required by the organization to carry out taxable activities;

· Services accounted for in the cost of the license were rendered to the taxpayer (on the basis of signing the act of performing the service);

· The taxpayer accepted the license for accounting (reflected on the balance sheet as deferred expenses);

· The organization has an invoice for the provision of pre-license preparation services and payment documents.

That is, the organization - the taxpayer has met all the requirements, so you can deduct the entire "input" VAT at a time.

Some specialists may question the general reflection of the costs of pre-licensing preparation on account 97 "Deferred expenses", but this position violates the rules of accounting legislation. Let's remember the rules of accounting standard PBU 10/99. Clause 19 indicates that:

“Expenses are recognized in the income statement:

taking into account the relationship between expenses incurred and receipts (correspondence between income and expenses);

by their reasonable distribution between reporting periods, when expenses determine the receipt of income over several reporting periods and when the relationship between income and expenses cannot be clearly determined or is determined indirectly;

for expenses recognized in the reporting period, when it becomes certain that they do not receive economic benefits (income) or receive assets;

regardless of how they are accepted for the purposes of calculating the taxable base;

when liabilities arise that are not contingent upon the recognition of the related assets. "

The license is issued for a period of 5 years, and the costs of pre-licensing preparation are directly related to its receipt, therefore, they must be classified as costs that cause the receipt of income over several reporting periods. Therefore, a one-time write-off of such expenses in accounting can be regarded as a gross violation of accounting rules with all the ensuing consequences.

Of course, the tax authorities are unlikely to be able to impose a fine on a taxpayer under Article 120 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, since tax legislation understands a gross violation of the rules for accounting for income and expenses as a systematic incorrect reflection of transactions in accounting accounts. But the fine under article 15.11 "Gross violation of the rules of accounting and presentation of financial statements" of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation is unlikely to be avoided. Recall that this article refers to gross violations of the rules of accounting and financial reporting:

“Distortion of the amounts of accrued taxes and fees by at least 10 percent;

distortion of any article (line) of the financial reporting form by at least 10 percent ”.

A one-time write-off of expenses for pre-licensing preparation will lead to distortion of the indicators of the balance sheet line "Deferred expenses".

Such a violation shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine on officials in the amount of twenty to thirty times the minimum wage.

Note!

The above arguments in terms of VAT can only be used in relation to deferred expenses, which are the costs of the organization for licensing, certification, etc.

In relation to, for example, lease payments paid in advance (they are also reflected by the taxpayer in account 97 "Deferred expenses), only a phased deduction of VAT is possible, since services are considered received by the taxpayer after each month on the basis of an act of service provision.

Note!

The use of the second point of view can lead to litigation, we have presented arguments that will help the taxpayer to defend his case. If you are not ready to enter into a dispute with the tax authority, use the first point of view.

For more details on the issues related to accounting and taxation in trade organizations, you can get acquainted in the book of JSC "BKR-Intercom-Audit" "Trade activities".
