President of Russian Federation

The MIR payment system is a domestic product designed to eliminate the problems of citizens of the Russian Federation when carrying out any transactions related to money.

The legality and all the subtleties of the work of this payment system are regulated by law 161 FZ. Let's consider the essence of this legislative document, and also figure out what are the advantages of the MIR national payment system and who can use it.

I would like to clarify right away that in the law 161 FZ of June 27, 2011 there is no clear indication of the name of the PS.

But due to the fact that at present only one national PS, MIR, is operating in the Russian Federation, it is worth considering this legislative document precisely within the framework of using the MIR system.

Federal Law 161-FZ regulates the legal and organizational foundations of the national payment system. On the basis of articles 161 of the Federal Law, the procedure for the provision of payment services of various kinds, the activities of the subjects of this PS are regulated, and the requirements for the implementation of the implementation of the system into operation and control over compliance with all the requirements of the law 161 of the Federal Law itself are determined.

Law 161 FZ on the payment system addresses the following aspects:

1. Chapter 1 contains general information about the bill itself. Here the subject of regulation of 161 FZ is considered, as well as the basic concepts that are used in this document.
2. Chapter No. 2 contains data on the procedure for providing payment services. Description of all schemes of operation of the national payment instrument: transfer of funds, cashing out, electronic transfers, etc.
3. Chapter No. 3 - the subjects of the domestic payment system and the requirements for their activities. In this section of Law 161 FZ on the national payment system, you can find information regarding the subjects of this PS and the requirements for their activities. That is, Chapter 3 of Law 161 FZ determines who can provide such services.
4. Chapter No. 4, No. 4.1 - requirements for the organization and performance of the payment system. PS rules, participants, valid PS recognition, etc. Chapter 4.1 discusses the main aspects of the national payment card system.
5. Chapter 5 contains information on how to supervise compliance with the requirements of Law 161 FZ on the national payment system.
6. Chapter 6 contains data on the procedure for the entry into force of this document.

This is exactly what FZ 161 of June 27, 2011 on the national payment system looks like with all the amendments. The bill itself was submitted for consideration on June 14, 2011, and already on June 27 it was approved by the Federation Council.

The purpose of creating a national PS

The idea of ​​creating a domestic payment system arose immediately after the sanctions imposed on the operation of some international payment systems came into force.

The development of an internal PS allows you to freely use payment cards, conduct various kinds of financial transactions, without fear that they will also fall under international sanctions.

In addition, the main goals and objectives of creating a domestic PS, which is currently the MIR system, are the following aspects:

• provision of reliable money transfer services through domestic payment instruments;
• increasing the level of confidence of citizens of the Russian Federation in a non-cash payment method;
• creation of a national payment space that does not depend on foreign organizations;
• bringing the national payment instrument to the international level.

Who is obliged to switch to PS MIR

According to the law 161 FZ of 2011, 2 categories of citizens of the Russian Federation are required to use the domestic payment system:

• pensioners;
• state employees - employees of budgetary institutions, students, etc.

The rest of the citizens of the Russian Federation may not switch to this type of banking services - this is optional.

Advantages of the MIR payment system

Among the biggest advantages of using the national PS MIR are the following privileges:

1. Independence. Unlike international payment systems, the work of the PS MIR does not depend on political and economic external factors. Payment transactions with MIR cards, in accordance with Law 161 FZ, are safe, and the holders of these banking products always have uninterrupted access to funds. The situation in the world political arena and the work of international PSs in no way affect the financial stability of the work of the MID system.
2. Safety. In view of the fact that the MIR cards were created taking into account the advanced achievements of domestic developers, its security is at a high level.
3. Simplicity and speed of registration / transition to a new payment instrument.
4. Benefit. Due to the presence of a loyalty program, MIR card holders can, by paying for goods and services, receive back up to 20% of the funds spent.

Outcome

Summarizing all of the above, we will make a small conclusion:

1. Law 161 FZ on the national payment system is a tool that allows you to use the domestic banking system, which is not dependent on foreign companies and sanctions.
2. At present, the only state type substation is the MIR system.
3. According to this Federal Law 161, the MIR card, or rather, the system itself, must be used by all state and municipal enterprises. The main users of the PS MIR are pensioners and state employees.
4. The main advantages of the MIR national payment system are independence, convenience, comfortable conditions of use, as well as the availability of loyalty programs that allow you to save money spent on paying for goods and services.

The law on the MIR card for state employees is another step towards the financial independence of the Russian Federation!

The 161st Federal Law of June 27, 2011 came into force on September 29, 2011. Since October of the same year, those amendments that, in fact, were introduced by the law in question into separate legislative acts in view of the adoption of this document, began to apply. In particular, we are talking about the changes made to the 1st part of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

Electronic money

In accordance with the provisions of the law, each organization has the right to make settlements with counterparties using electronic money. It is allowed to exchange for electronic money only those non-cash funds that are on the company's bank account.

Cash acquires the status of electronic money if an organization sends it to an electronic money operator without opening a bank account for the purpose of settling with a counterparty.

Electronic funds are those that were previously provided by one person to another person without opening a bank account in order to fulfill monetary obligations (18th paragraph of the 3rd article of the Law).

Money cannot be considered as electronic in some cases.

If they were provided to organizations that conduct:

• clearing activity or such in the securities market;
• are engaged in the management of funds (investment, mutual investment and non-state pension funds).

Electronic money = real

Today, electronic money has an official status. According to paragraph 12 of Article 10 of the law, a company's funds may be levied regardless of where they are: on a bank account or in an electronic wallet. In addition, it is possible to suspend operations with an electronic wallet in the same way as it is used for operations on a company's current account.

Provisions of a similar content were included in the 1st part of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

Taxes, penalties and fines

If the organization does not transfer taxes to the budget in a timely manner, the collection will first affect the funds on the account with the credit institution, then electronic funds, and then the organization’s property itself (1st paragraph 46 of the article of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). At the same time, the currency in which the money is stored in the electronic wallet does not matter.

The collection of electronic funds will be carried out in accordance with the decision of the tax authority in the event that there were not enough funds on the organization's current account. The procedure for forcible recovery is referred to in paragraph 6.1, included in the 46th article of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

A tax order related to the transfer of electronic funds to the company's account is sent to the bank where the latter has an electronic wallet.

The order states:

• the amount to be transferred;
• account details and those of the corporate electronic payment instrument.

The bank has one business day to execute the order. Electronic money can be credited to the settlement account of the organization, and then transferred to the budget. If there is not enough money in the electronic wallet, they will be debited as they become available.

If the collection of arrears cannot be covered by electronic money in rubles, it can be carried out at the expense of electronic funds in foreign currency. In this case, the funds are subject to transfer to the company's foreign currency account.

In addition to an instruction regarding the transfer of tax, the tax inspectorate may send an instruction to the bank related to the sale of the company's foreign currency. Such a sale is made by the bank no later than the next day.

When tax is collected by the tax authorities, transfers of electronic funds may be suspended in the manner prescribed by Article 76 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

Electronic money and non-cash: what is the difference

The main differences between electronic money and non-cash include:

• no need to open a bank account - unlike "non-cash", which exists only if an organization has an account (settlement, current), electronic money resides in the virtual space and is called an electronic wallet;
• a limited amount of the balance of funds for an electronic wallet - at the end of the working day, the indicator in question cannot exceed the amount of 100 thousand rubles (similarly in foreign currency). In case of exceeding the established limit, electronic money must be transferred to the company's bank account;
• settlements, which in the case of electronic money is possible only in relation to individuals (9th paragraph of the 7th article of the law);
• inability to pay taxes by electronic means.

Electronic money operator

Carrying out actions with an electronic wallet, i.e. creating, replenishing and using it, is possible if the organization has an appropriate agreement with an electronic money operator.

The latter may be a credit institution that has the right to transfer funds without first opening bank accounts. The operator is responsible for establishing the rules and procedures for transferring electronic funds.

Creation of an electronic wallet

Creating an electronic wallet for an organization is possible in the bank where the latter has a current account, or in another credit institution. In the latter case, information about the bank account must be transferred to the operator without fail.

An organization has the right to replenish an electronic wallet only with the help of its bank account (3rd paragraph of the 7th article of the law).

Accounting for transactions performed through an electronic wallet, as well as providing information on the balance to customers, is the prerogative of the operator. At the same time, the operator is prohibited from accruing interest on the balance of electronic funds and making payments-remunerations to customers. Also, he is not entitled to provide them with funds to increase the account balance (6th paragraph of the 7th article of the law).

The company must notify the tax authorities about the creation of an electronic wallet (new clause 1.1 of the 2nd clause of the 23-1 article of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). Otherwise, the company will be fined.

Replenishment of the electronic wallet

The contents of the created electronic wallet can be replenished by the organization at the expense of receipts from individuals. Individual entrepreneurs and legal entities do not have the right to transfer electronic money to the company. Under an agreement with the operator, it is also allowed to introduce an autonomous mode when using funds. In this case, the reduction of the balance and crediting to the electronic wallet will not occur simultaneously.

We spend electronic money correctly

To carry out the transfer of electronic funds, the organization must prepare and send to the Operator an order using a corporate electronic means of payment (7th paragraph of the 7th article of the Law). As such, information and communication technologies, electronic media, payment cards, and other technical devices can be used.

The right to use the funds must be reflected in the contract, provided that the organization is registered with the tax authority and has the appropriate certificate for identification (1st paragraph of the 86th article of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

The transfer order is subject to immediate execution by the operator.

Each transfer is carried out through the simultaneous execution of a chain of actions by the operator:

• acceptance of a client order;
• decrease in the balance of the payer's funds;
• increase in the balance of the recipient's funds by the amount of the transfer.

The agreement may provide for a reverse scheme for the transfer of electronic funds, when the instruction is sent to the operator by the recipient. The balance can be transferred to the company's bank account. There, as mentioned above, electronic money can also be sent, the amounts of which exceed the allowable size of the contents in the electronic wallet.

Banks are charged with the obligation to provide certificates of balances and transfers made to the tax authorities. After receiving a reasoned request, at least three days must pass.

Such information is mainly requested:

• after a decision has been made regarding the collection of a debt;
• when making a decision related to the suspension of transfers.

Violation by the bank of obligations regarding electronic money is a violation of liability under Article 135.2 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

161 of the Federal Law "On the National Payment System" formulates its organizational and legal principles, the procedure for the provision of services. It, among other things, stipulates the rules for making money transfers, the use of electronic tools, the requirements for entities participating in the relevant legal relations.

Normative act n 161-FZ "On the national payment system" establishes a certain procedure for performing transactions for the transfer of funds. The document, in particular, provides that the operator provides services in accordance with agreements that are concluded with customers and between entities for the movement of money, within the limits of the types of cashless payments used in accordance with legal requirements. Regulation of the activities of banking agents (subagents) is carried out under Art. 14 Federal Law of the Russian Federation 161 "On the national payment system". Postal organizations carry out operations to transfer funds in accordance with the relevant regulatory act. It is Federal Law No. 176.

Transfer procedure

Law 161-FZ "On the National Payment System" establishes that the operator performs actions with funds at the order of the payer or recipient. This order is executed in accordance with the used form of non-cash payment. The transfer is carried out by the payer's funds. They are debited from his bank account or provided to him without opening a bank account. 161 of the Federal Law "On the National Payment System" provides:

1. Crediting funds to the beneficiary's account.
2. Issuance of cash.
3. Accounting for funds in favor of the recipient without opening an account (in the case of transferring electronic money).

Timing

According to Federal Law 161 "On the National Payment System", the transfer of funds is carried out within no more than 3 days. An exception to this rule is transactions with electronic money. The calculation of the three-day period begins from the date the funds are debited from the account or from the day the payer provides cash (if the transfer is carried out without opening a bank account).

161 FZ "On the national payment system": comments

The normative act establishes that from a certain moment the payer loses the right to revoke the transfer order. It occurs immediately after debiting funds from the account or providing cash. A different rule may be provided for in the framework of the form of calculation used or the Federal Law. The unconditionality of the transfer occurs at the moment of fulfillment of the conditions determined by the recipient/payer or other subjects. These include, among other things, the implementation of the counter direction of money in a different currency, the transfer of securities, the provision of documents. Unconditionality can also occur in the absence of any conditions.

Finality of the translation

It is determined in 161 FZ "On the National Payment System" depending on the operators. If the recipient and the payer are served by one entity, the finality of the transfer occurs at the moment the money is credited to the account or the opportunity to receive cash is provided. The exception is transactions with electronic means. If the payer and the recipient are served by different entities, the finality of the transfer occurs when the amount is credited to the account of the recipient's operator.

Informing

The operator making the transfer of funds, prior to the transaction, must provide customers with the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the terms of the service. Information must be provided in a form accessible to persons. Clients, among other things, receive information about:

Responsibilities

The client must provide the operator making the transfer of funds with reliable information for contacting him. When contact details change, the subject must provide updated information in a timely manner. The obligation of the operator to send notifications provided for by the Federal Law in question is considered fulfilled when the notification is sent in accordance with the data provided by the client.

Features of electronic transfer

The client provides funds to the operator under the terms of the concluded agreement. An individual can transfer money using his account or without opening it (in cash). If the client is a legal entity, then the provision of funds is carried out only through the account. The transfer is made in accordance with the order of the payer in favor of the recipient.

The operation can be carried out between entities served by one or several different operators. When transferring electronic funds, a legal entity or an entrepreneur can act as payers if the recipient is an individual. The operation is performed by simultaneously accepting the client's order, reducing the payer's balance and increasing it with the recipient by the specified amount. The transfer is carried out immediately after the acceptance of the order.

Offline mode

It may be provided for in the operator's agreement with an individual client acting as a payer and a legal entity / individual entrepreneur as a recipient. Offline mode implies non-simultaneity of the above actions. When using it, the recipient must daily transmit information to the operator about the operations performed for accounting. The receipt of information should be carried out no later than the end of the working shift of the service entity. When using the offline mode, the operator sends the payer and, if it is provided for in the contract, the recipient a confirmation of the transfer immediately after taking into account the information received.

Irrevocability in the transfer of electronic funds

In offline mode, it occurs at the moment the client uses the corresponding payment instrument. The final transfer is considered after accounting by the data operator, in the manner indicated above. Upon the occurrence of irrevocability, the financial obligation of the payer to the recipient client is terminated. The Operator on an ongoing basis keeps records of information about the balances of electronic funds and the transfers made. They, at the request of the client, can be credited to a bank account or issued in cash. This opportunity can be used by both individuals and organizations and entrepreneurs. Operators are not entitled to accrue interest on the balance or pay any remuneration to the client. The Service Entity also cannot provide funds to increase the remaining amount of electronic money.
